Samsung really needs to do better optimization with their UI

Samsung, Samsung how is it possible that 2 years old A series phones get so slow? Then I load up 250 € OnePlus or Realme phone that's 3-4 years old and still feels snappy and responsive?

I know a lot of people are Samsung users, and I'm sure S series phones age better considering the price you're paying. But they really should be doing better. I heard the other day someone trashing android as a whole because his Samsung UI got slow overtime. This company makes entire Android ecosystem look bad.

where to begin

My five year old S20 is still as snappy as my new S25. On;y reason I changed was so as to continue receiving security updates. Maybe your phone needs some spring-cleaning?

Welcome to Android Central! I moved this from the General News forum to the Galaxy A Series forum.

I had a similar experience with the Galaxy Tab A7 lite, which got progressively sluggish over a couple of years, even after a factory reset. I'm not sure if it was One UI or something else inherent in the hardware. It was almost like the very old FSTRIM issues seen on the Nexus 7, as well as other devices of the time, but that problem was patched a long time ago. I did have a Galaxy A32 5G for a while which never had any issues with slowdowns, though.
