AverageUser, 01 Aug 2019All I can see is Apple falling... can the launch of new iPh... moreWhilst Android vendors are more or less limiting the Google security patches to two years, Apple iPhones users quote a "strength" that they receive IOS updates 3 or 4 years etc after buying an iPhone, this is a reason to keep the iPhone longer.

Again Imo the last person a phone buyer sees is probably the sale person, walking into a phone shop you may be confronted with a "sale" item to a phone similar to the one a person wants

Just because some exercise due diligence and research a phone, price may be the motivating final factor, being in a point of sale area, you only get the headline features.

I think the majority of phone owners did not do not research their phones.

Parents finance a Childs phone
Phone purchases are s trade off e.g. can this phone at $10 per month cheaper get me the majority of features for a different make.

If a network phone shop doesn't support the model of phone you want, you won't walk out of the shop with it

        AverageUser, 02 Aug 2019And I just had a guy with Mate20 Pro complain to me about h... moreHow laggy is Mate 20 Pro? Bad gaming on it? What game? Be specific please. Funny thing is all games runs smoothly on mine at highest quality settings.

        And for sure my phone is bloated with apps & heavy user than your mom. Maybe your mom doesnt feel the Galaxy S5 slowdown lol, but i definitely will see it, even just after a week of format. And there are various of reports Samsung slowdown its phones after updates (especially TouchWiz era).

          Shui8, 02 Aug 2019Own Honor 8 Pro (2017), my wife Mate 9 (2017), my friend's ... moreAnd I just had a guy with Mate20 Pro complain to me about how laggy it is and how much it sucks for gaming...

          Yet, my mom is still using the Galaxy S5 without any lags or issues and you don't see me talking about S5 being better than Mate20 Pro...

          It comes down to how you use and/or maintain the phone. Everyone else on here was able to figure that out by now.
          So, why can't you?

            Amirboli, 02 Aug 2019You will regret soon.........Own Honor 8 Pro (2017), my wife Mate 9 (2017), my friend's P9 Plus (2016). I can assure you, up until today, EMUI is as fast as day one, even after various of updates.

            Now we both rocking Mate 20, will switch to Mate 40 next.

              Xiaomi is on its way to replace Apple at the 3rd position. Might not be next year, but is surely reaching it.

                          Dont understand why so many people bashing Samsung here. Regardless of how many different models they make, if they weren't good people wouldn't buy them.

                            Anonymous, 01 Aug 2019Dynamic amoled should be the next joke after retina displayIt still looks better than display used by Huawei though. Come on dude, you flooded the whole comment section with your love for Huawei and hate for Samsung and everyone else.

                            Independent researchers have rated Dynamic AMOLED to be currently best display at the market and you are here saying that you know better, and you never even used S10 series smartphone...
