Battery drains quickly.
Check battery usage in `Settings` > `Battery and device care` > `Battery` to identify power-hungry apps. Reduce screen brightness, disable Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/GPS when not in use, and close unnecessary background apps. Consider using power-saving modes.
5G not connecting or slow.
Verify that 5G is enabled in `Settings` > `Connections` > `Mobile networks` > `Network mode`. Ensure you are in an area with 5G coverage and your SIM card and plan support 5G. Try restarting your phone or resetting network settings (`Settings` > `General management` > `Reset` > `Reset network settings`).
Apps are slow or crashing.
Clear the cache for the problematic app in `Settings` > `Apps` > [App Name] > `Storage` > `Clear cache`. If the issue persists, clear data (this will delete app data) or uninstall and reinstall the app. Ensure your phone's software is up to date.
Screen is unresponsive.
Perform a forced restart by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for about 10 seconds. If the issue continues after restarting, it might indicate a hardware problem, and service may be required.
