SpiritWolf, 29 Nov 2018It's definitely not a secret that Sony XZ3 has best display... moreIt certainly is a secret as you seem to be the only person aware of this. I'm sure it is a fantastic display nobody comes close to Samsung's sAMOLED which debuted with the Wave before the original Galaxy S. Samsung would have been developing this tech years before their implementation in the Wave.

      Else you'll realize that your inability to name another country with the same widespread state-funded IP theft practice is precisely why this story has garnered more than 100 comments. This is not about using rounded corners, it's about stealing tech developed via billion-dollar R&D for millions.

      Can you ascertain the difference? I have a feeling you can't.

        Nobody cares about who brought 18:9 especially as it’s an aspect ratio that always existed, also, those older Nokia’s were landscape based. Please stay on topic.

Read the rules (if you are working and as educated as you try seem) next time. :)

            We have veered far off topic. I guess we agree, Samsung better keep a closer eye on their employees as they are the ones who were selling the IP.

            Good chat!

However, in the case of Huawei, this happened when the industry is still speculating (within days of Samsung announcing the concept). That is why people are raising suspicions. Also, for the industry which has already seen dual camera setup for over years, having a triple camera is not called innovation. At least hole is still more regarded as a niftier idea than having an additional camera in the back..... Hope you get this perspective. But I am very sure you wouldn't. At least I tried!!! that's what we all can do

                                  Some have taken this as an opportunity to spew their own racist and political views here, when in reality, this is a matter of corrupt employees in Samsung who decided to go and sell information that they knew was confidential.

                                  If they were approached by the company that they sold the information to they could have simply rejected the offers, like i have said again and again in this very section, this is an industry wide issue, we have seen this happen countless times in Silicon Valley especially, as well as amongst car makers and other major tech areas.

                                    no such thing as best or not not best

                                      The amount of outrageously racist and far out conspiracy theories some of you jokers come up with is hilariously insulting.

                                      Seriously, 11 staff in Samsung got caught selling OLED manufacturing secrets to competitors. THAT IS IT.

                                      There's always greedy opportunist staff in companies as humans aren't perfect creatures. Get over it.

                                      Stop making this a racial issue or some secret society/spy crap. Bunch of kids honestly.

                                        security man how comes you protect $800 trillion for $200.....?
