Also, there are several similar complaints on the Samsung community about the Galaxy S20 Chrome freezing issue, and users are not feeling happy about it. Here are some of the complaints so far:

According to Pavpav, an observer on Samsung Community,

“I have the same problem too, on an (Exynos) Samsung Galaxy s20+. I hope they can fix it soon, it’s annoying having to reopen the app every time. Clearing cache and data haven’t solved the issue.”

A new member CardiffLlyr also said:

“Just upgraded to S20 Ultra from my S10 Plus – big mistake

My phone is freezing exactly like yours It has been happening in Chrome

Have tried a number of other Web access programs but I continue to experience ‘freezing’ even when using these

The phone even freezes when I’m using Samsung Internet”

Also, jolv said:

“What worked for me to stop the freezing on my S20+ is by changing it from 120hz to 60hz refresh rate 🙁

Is Samsung looking into this issue?

I thought the grass was greener by moving from my google pixel 2xl to this.”

Suggested Fixes By Users

So, with the look of things, the freezing issue has extended beyond Chrome to some other web browsers, including the Galaxy S20 default browser. Pending the time a fix will roll out, you might consider using the Microsoft Edge browser, as a user suggested.

“For some reason, it stopped freezing for me yesterday. I didn’t have a single freeze for 2 days now. Is it fixed for you as well?”

Apart from that, there are lots of other suggested fixes for the Galaxy S20 Chrome freezing issue, according to different users. While some suggested that users should fall back to the 60HZ refresh rate, others suggested turning off of Assistant’s ‘Use screen context’ in the Google app. Among other fixes suggested are: wiping the cache partition and factory restoration.

So, as we wait for Samsung’s fix, you might try any of the fixes suggested above. Hopefully, one of them should help in fixing your device’s freezing issue.
