        Anonymous, 18 Sep 2020The way I see it is this. Samsung is not able to sell enou... moreConsidering that Samsung is a US puppet at a point one could think easily Samsung is from the USA, I don't think they have any risk of having troubles with the US, don't forget that the US basically own South Korea.

        They have more than enough knowledge and competence to make really good chips, they make memory module for DDR, make SSDs and many other things after all, regardless of their phone or practices, there is no doubt that Samsung is a big and really potent brand that do way more than just Smartphones.

        So if they wanted, they could make an Exynos better than current the flagship Snapdragon of the same period, also raw performance isn't even the biggest thing, I would happily take a slower Exynos over faster Snapdragon if it was more power efficient, heated less and had more powerful/optimized secondary things like hardware management, codecs and other media oriented parts, AI and in-chip software, as current flagship SoC are now more than powerful enough so that raw performance isn't a concern, even a SD845 which is now totally blown away by 865 and upcoming 86+ and 875 is more than powerful enough for most users, even for gaming.

        So really they could offer both variant everywhere (just push more marketing on the Exynos variant, who would blame them ?) and justify the Exynos with real advantages, they have the competences to do it.
        Or alternatively, make some phone models Snapdragon only and some Exynos only, if all S10/S20/Note10/Note20 were Exynos only, there would be way less complains, the real issue is that they force certain variant into certain markets.

          I use WhatsApp quite a lot from my desktop as it's a lot faster to use. I would see no point in getting this ported separately via "Your Phone" on my PC. If I want to make a call or video or take a photo, I'd use my phone. Although having said that, they're bringing audio/video to the desktop app which would make sense and I would use. Going via smartphone makes no sense when you have a proper setup on the PC.

                    AnonD-955101, 18 Sep 2020Let me explain to you one more time:i dont mind a phone wit... more"Let me explain to you one more time:i dont mind a phone without selfie camera, and i was never against such a thing"

                    Quotes from you :
                    ""PEOPLES" like to video chat with their friends and families, taking selfies, using it for social media.
                    And you still dont accept these reasons as valid?"

                    Which was an answer as to "you having no valid reasons to be opposed against phones without front camera".
                    Since I was talking about devices targeting those who DON'T have such use of front camera, those indeed aren't valid reasons and directly show your opposition to this idea.
                    Following me from multiple article's comments, always opposing the idea in a way or another and trying to give reasons against it.

                    See, you do it again, I DO KNOW many peoples want and do use front camera, that's a no brainer, no need to tell your life story for that.
                    I know what it is having a social life, and many peoples with way more active and exiting life than you would argue that living through a cellphone isn't a social life.
                    So your excuses of "I do that and that so I have a better life than you" to both brag about the little things you do (because those aren't extraordinary despite how you try to make it appear) and justify the use of front camera isn't as valid as you may think.

                    YES, I DO KNOW that many peoples like to do tons of things with their front camera, even though something like an Asus Zenfone 6, 7 and 7 Pro, Galaxy A80, Huawei Mate X, Nubia Z20, and what would have been the Xiaomi Mi Mix Alpha that many peoples were interested in (and where the too hard to manufacture display is a good example of a valid argument against this phone) don't have front camera and still allow to do all those, and even do a better job than phone with front camera while not causing any kind of annoying need for compensation to the user, actually they use the better quality main camera giving to the user better pics, also making your argument of front camera being necessary totally wrong.

                    As you bring her up, I am living with my girlfriend (not virtually talking to her), while you supposedly live things through a display then say you have "a life" and I don't, funny how myself a nerd who spend tons of time in front of my computer actually live more in the real world than you.
                    You ! Get some help, trying to justify your lifestyle while I only talk about making some phones without something that a lot of peoples wish could be removed, as if some smartphones releasing without front camera would make your life change...

                    I perfectly know what to say to such behavior of your, insisting so much and being the one who come and bring the subject (even when I talk about different phones in general, not specifically about front camera, you are the one bringing it up) to then complain I talk about it, the same way a phone without camera will change nothing to your life, what will not answering and constantly opposing the idea I bring with my comments (that are totally not talking to you by the way) will change for you ?
                    The only thing I do here is advocating diversity and better smartphone in general and the opportunity for everybody to have what he want, why on earth would you constantly try to oppose that ?
                    I explained to you how those things work and how influence of comment affect industry decisions, and how, to actually try to bring this diversity, I'll constantly more "aggressively" (meaning more often and without being subtle about it) bring up subjects like this the more they are opposed without any reasons by other peoples...
                    Then you come and oppose the subject while complaining that I bring up "X way" (which was exactly what I said I would do before hand) the subject, are you even realizing that, on the "no front camera" thing subject, you are the N°1 reason why I talk about it that way in the first place ? You are the bigger recent opposer to that idea, up to the point I use you as an exemple of those opposing behaviors.
                    No one ever forced you to get into that, if you want to keep going, fine, it is your problem, I can keep doing that hours per days everyday, yes I am that dedicated, actually I could even bring the subject in almost all article's comment if I wanted, as long as it is related to the subject this isn't a spam and I don't see what stop me from doing so, I thought about doing it just so you got overwhelmed and finally let me try to participate in the already difficult market influencing move without wasting all efforts with your egoism.
                    But don't try to make it appear as if I forced you to get into that subject, because I would really love it if you could just stop adding your negativity into something where negativity ruin all attempted efforts.

                      I'm the one who said it was a gimmick.

                      The reason is that there are better Windows apps and websites where you can do the same thing in a purposely designed interface for a PC. That includes all main messaging and social media apps and games. For sure, there will be some Android apps that won't work or have an equivalent on a PC but as you've got a phone, why not used that instead.

                            The problem is the way you're expressing your opposition.
                            If you dont accept the fact that many peopole enjoy using a phone with a selfie camera then why the f**k are you expecting peopole to accept your opinion.
                            No, the universe does not spin around me,
                            Im not obsessed with Video chatting nor im using it in a sensitive way😂😂😂😂
                            Im constantly on the move, going to concerts, playing gigs almost every weekend,tattooing, occasional phone repairs. Basically having a very active social life you know,and for peopole like me selfie camera is a necessary toll im a phone.
                            Omg, why im even explaining this to you.
                            "PEOPLES" like tou "DONT UNDERSTAND" what a normal social life looks like.
                            Bro you realy need to get some help. Pleace get of the phone and spend some time with your "girlfriend".

                              What the heck would SOME phones, not all, SOME, without selfie camera or whatever else that YOU don't use would do to you?
                              What is so urging to complain about the idea ?

                              There are many peoples who don't care at all about the video chat you are so obsessed with, or do it on a more sensitive way : On tablet or PC, you know, device that have a larger display in which it make senses to do it.
                              There are also multiple alternative to front camera to still use camera + display, often giving better quality by using the way superior main camera or better displays.
                              I never do video call, I never take selfies, I would happily use the main camera and ToF to unlock my phone, I don't do anything on social media that require the front camera, and MANY, MANY, MANY peoples think the same, you need to be blind to not notice it.
                              That's why those reasons are not valid, because it ISN'T FOR YOU, you aren't the center of the universe, there are already a bazillion of phones suiting your selfie camera need.
                              A valid reason is "this tech is too hard to implement", or "this tech would not work well because (X or Y reason that come from facts)", or "this tech would be way too expensive because (X or Y reason why)", "this tech will cause X to Y functionality", or "this other tech offer a better replacement without any added negative points".
                              THOSE are exemples of good reasons, and totally NOT what you do.

                              And I told you, to counteract the unjustified and useless negativity you and other constantly complaining give to those ideas, EVERYTIME someone will do it, I'll bring this (no front camera and other tech I defend) multiple more times.
                              And why I talk specifically about "no front camera" more than the rest ?
                              Because this is the best example of something peoples are uselessly fighting against without any reasons, so literally the more you oppose this idea that way, the more it make it a legit example, and the more I'll bring it as an example.
                              Which is funny because you can't tell the difference as an example and a statement, I wasn't advocating phones without front camera at all in this comment, I only used it as an exemple of peoples opposing it for no reasons, and what you do ? You come and oppose it for no reasons, you can't make this up...

                              I call you "stupid" not because you disagree, but because you can't understand that not everyone share your needs and that a lot would be happy to have different devices, because just stop complaining about an idea that have NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, and will NOT IN ANY WAYS negatively interfere with your use of smartphones, nor any other persons you think to seem represent everyone, is too hard for you.

                              That's because of peoples like you that brands stopped listening a while ago, because EVERY DAMN TIMES someone suggest something, someone like you have to come and just complain about the idea as if it is something that will be forced upon him.
                              I mean if it was something that would get on ALL smartphones AND affect negatively your experience, I would perfectly understand, but even when clearly stated that even having a SINGLE device with this would be nice peoples come and complain.
                              And because brands have other occupations than sorting throughout all comments to find out if there is a REAL and VALID reason other than totally selfish, egocentric and egoistic view of "I don't want it, so no one should have it".
                              If the car industry was flooded by peoples like you, there would only be a SINGLE type of car, either SUV or Berlines or something else with all the same design, and all would have the SAME options, only few details will changes, because if everyone start complaining "Please, no, don't make this larger car that is useful for peoples who need more space, as I am perfectly fine with small vehicles" and other non-senses, there would be no ways to know what is the demand.
                              I call you "idiot" only for not using way more agressive and mean terms that I strongly think when replying to such comments.
                              Which in the case of someone wanting to prevent something that wouldn't change anything to him but would be what other desire, is perfectly justified.

                              It is only wrong because there are peoples like you forcing me to do it that way in the first place, if you started to realized that "majority" or "your personal tastes" doesn't represent the entirety of the market and that many niche markets still including millions of potential users are left totally untouched and many demands are unfilled, and that your attitude, of you and peoples acting like you, is directly responsible for that, then I would respectfully and nicely simply talk about that, like I do with everybody who are open minded and respectfully talk about subject without acting like everybody is entitled to what said person want and who understand that many peoples have many different tastes.
                              Which is EXACTLY the idea behind the LG Wing and the LG Explorer project, creating different experiences for peoples who want different things, which totally blow your arguments by its own existence, proving, as I said, that there are many sub markets to be filled.
                              He literally explain and summarize it in 1 minute and 10 seconds :
                              https://youtu.be/jN5aIyF8Vf0?t=115
                              LG that I remind you is responsible for many innovation that you use on your today devices, innovations exactly like the first front camera, that wouldn't even exist without diversity and different designs.

                              And this is NOT an opinion, peoples DO want that, that's a FACT, the opinion is that YOU don't want it and you THINK no one want it because of that despite proofs of the contrary.
                              And you, constantly fighting against something that manu peoples want and have literally nothing to do with you and will not do anything to you is also a FACT, it is what you do : preventing peoples to get what they want.
