        Samsung apologizes maybe. But when? Long time ago a problem were known to Samsung.
        Thats not something i want from a top class company.
        Did apple apologize?
        No they did maybe after the truth been revealed.
        So i rather stick with my favorite chinese devices than being mistaken by a company where i dont expect anything like fraud.

            While at Xiaomi you can't even claim your warranty properly.

            Chinese companies are simply copy-cats. They have no real features, their cameras are usually not impressive, or they have really bad screen. To top all that - they come loaded with spyware too. Enjoy your savings, at cost of UI, quality and your privacy.

              Which one? Which one of any of these phones is faster than any recent iPhone?

              Dude, just give up... this is pure nonsense. You like chinese phones but that doesn't make them good, and stop convincing yourself that they are because you own one.

                This isnt probably something ou would like from your so top called company.
                Now tell me which xiaomi or Motorola model were cancelled due to a major battery bug.
                Noone.
                You still defending a companies which doesnt deserve anything else apart from punishment.

                  From my own experience and from an experience of my customers in my shop i can honestly tell you that xiaomi, lenovo, motorola is equal of quality of Samsung Apple Sony etc.
                  And for a same price you can get a much better and faster device.
                  For example A1 from xiaomi cost about 200 and can be compared with phones for 400 from the other brands.

                      If I want to buy top quality premium device then I'll pay the price that comes with it. And so will other people. Brands will always exist, and some brands which have proven their quality, like Samsung - will cost.
                      If you want to buy some Chinese brand phones then that's on you. But you can't tell other people that they phones are no good simply because they are expensive for your taste.

                        Despite of IP68 your phone can drown like phone without it.
                        I said chinese phones are good enough to compete others.
                        Maybe not all chinese brands but ones as Lenovo, Motorola which is same company, Xiaomi and Meizu.
                        For the rest i dont know because i havent experience.
                        And yes according to me people should target on more promising researchs. Phones are fast enough. Some technology is good enough.
                        Try to watch movie 7 sisters and you will understand.
                        And there is lot more we could somehow manage but people just dont care until its very too late.

                              And IP68 isn't for clumsy people. If I want to send texts or answer calls under shower - it sure comes in handy.

                              According to you, Xiaomi and chinese phones are the best, because others are too good and too expensive LOL. What a joke.

                                  For gaming a midranger is as good as flagship because it can run any game almost as fast as flagship and the game is smooth as playing on a flagship mobile.
                                  For example i play clash of lord 2 on my Moto X4.
                                  Which is most played android game on the earth according to world guiness book of records 2016 and 2017 along with clash of clans.
                                  For that i do not require a phone which can run the game 2 seconds faster and then the game responds with same speed as my moto X4.
                                  Pure android dont lack of features at least is free from stupid UI like samsung or apple have where you have a lot of unwanted garbage which you must keep because its a part of OS.
                                  The reason the chinese phones are cheaoper than others is: You dont pay for a sticker of Samsung Apple or any other brand.
                                  You pay just for your phone which is free from expensive curved screens, expensive IP68 which is just stupid add-on for clumsy people, free from expensive Iris scanner which have no future at all free from expensive 4k display which have no use on a 5 inch screen. On small screen like thhis a full HD makes sense but 4k apart from high battery consumption have no difference between full HD and 4k.
                                  I think i was very precise this time hope you understand me my friend.
                                  PS. I wont discuss quality because from my experience and from experience of my customers mid rangers from Motorola lenovo and Xiaomi are as good quality as Samsung or Apple. I mean i have average complains on all brands and no of brands is much more worse than others,

                                        Dont try to fuse people with your moto where certain brand means quality.
                                        Because its a lie.
                                        Everything is made in china in present days even an apple have on a back lid of phone MADE IN CHINA.
                                        I am not forcing anyone to buy achinese phone its on their own what they will buy.
                                        I only saying that for a much less money people can have a same quality phone.
                                        For example my Moto X4 have IP68 have a quickcharge ability mine charges from 0 to 100% in less than hour. No apple phone does this not even a Samsung flagships. Its really fast does decent photos have a vide angle camera which no other phoe apart from one LG model have. And dont have that stupid curved screen which is resistant to a screen protector :-) and cost less than 400.
                                        For that i dont need to buy S8 which as brand new costed 800 eur and did the same as my phone with a lot of useless garbage where i had a pure clean android.
                                        Thats all i am saying.
