The Samsung Galaxy S10 is arguably one of the best smartphones the company has ever built, but it, too, comes with its fair share of quirks. While the device’s sub-par battery has always been a talking point, new Wi-Fi connectivity issues have started making rounds around the smartphone community.
A number of users have been facing difficulty connecting to the Wi-Fi networks around them. As per the sufferers, the phone would connect to a Wi-Fi network as expected but fail to load up webpages. To make it work, users are then forced to reconnect to the said network by toggling on/off the Wi-Fi through the Quick Panel.
If you are, too, facing something similar, there are a few methods you could try to get rid of the problem for good.
