If anyone has this phone on this forum or can help me out it at least it'd be greatly appreciated. I have a big issue with the playback on the Youtube app and in the browser. The video appears to load fine, but while the video is playing it will be normal for about 5 seconds, then it will slow down as if it's playing in slow motion for about two seconds, then it speeds up right after trying to "catch up" with the video; this happens throughout the whole video. It's not a network connection problem; it happens on Wifi and 4G and on Low Quality and High Quality.

And it's not the first time I've experienced this problem. It's happened with another Samsung device I've had it in the past, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze for Tmobile. Maybe it has something to do with Samsung and smaller screened devices' performance? It's just odd because all other streaming and recorded videos play perfectly on the phone. I'm just beyond frustrated and was hoping to not encounter this problem again on a new phone. If anyone has this phone or has seen this problem before it would be awesome if anyone knew what I could do.
