Just be warned, that once you see it, you will not be able to go back. It should be very obvious to you (it was very obvious to my gf in the store with me, and she is not nearly as nitpicky as me, but she noticed it immediately after I told her what to look for, and literally said out loud "OMG!"). Moreover, you can share your notes easily to. So - if you have a Samsung phone AND another phone that does not have this issue (all iPhones will not have this issue), I urge you to test this - spend a few moments SLOWLY scrolling up or down in the settings on your Samsung phone, and then, do the same on an iPhone (or another phone which does not have this issue). With Samsung Notes, you can create notes containing texts, images with footnotes, voice recordings, and music. It's the reason why I returned my otherwise-perfect galaxy S20 (lol). For someone who spends 80% of their time on a phone reading text, and scrolling very slowly down while I'm reading, this issue is incredible noticeable to me. This sounds really nitpicky, right? Well, it's actually not, at all.

The best way I can describe this is to compare it to driving a car on a freshly paved road vs a road that is full of pebbles.

However, on all the Samsung devices that I have tested this on, whenever I scroll slowly up or down, there are very frequent and barely noticeable "bumps" in which the scrolling will behave in one of two ways - it will either go the opposite way 1 or 2 pixels for a fraction of a second and then "bump" back to your finger, OR, it will go FARTHER in the direction that you are scrolling for 1 or 2 pixels, and then stay there waiting for a fraction of a second, until your finger "catches up" to the part it skipped forward to. There are no bumps, jitters, or anything of the sort - it just goes smoothly up, or smoothly down. Let me explain - on my iPhone, when I scroll up or down slowly with my finger on the screen, the scrolling is completely, 100% smooth. Here is the problem - in a few words, it can be described as "bumpy scrolling" during slow scrolling WHILE your finger is touching the screen (not "free-scrolling"). The problem is something that is probably hardly noticeable to 99% of people, but since I have been on an iPhone SE for the past 4 years (which doesn't have this problem), I notice it immediately, and it is very obvious to me (and once I see it it becomes impossible to un-see it). I know that this affects ALL modern Samsung phones because this issue was driving me so crazy that I spent one full day out of my life going to the mall and trying out as many Samsung devices as I could try in the stores, and every single Samsung phone I tried had this problem. I wanted to come here to tell you something that I've noticed about ALL Samsung phones.
