    Think about it : a 4 year old high-end flagship from Samsung (not even the Note series) is destroying a brand new phone from 2021 on EVERY single level!
    Yeah, great phone...

      Software is the most important thing in a smartphone, then comes the hardware. You got fooled by the hardware specs, but the software is pure garbage. Why do you think it's so cheap?
      PS My cameras and fingerprint sensor are covered with stickers, just so you know how much I care about camera quality.

What a stupid thing to say. I don't fancy putting myself in debt struggling to pay for a contract Samsung like loads of people I know when I can buy a phone like the Poco F3 that can do anything that a Samsung S21 can do apart from quality photos. I can just pay for the phone and pay my simo deal for ten quid a month. Meanwhile mugs out there struggling to pay 50 or more per month for two years. Trust me. I know. I work in this industry. There's your dignity. Over 50% of Samsung and Apple smartphones are purchased on contract. There's your dignity. I'm not the one ringing my network asking them to lower the bill because it's become difficult to pay for it. I have a phone from China with a Snapdragon 870, adreno 650, UFS 3.1, 33W charging, a 120hz amoled screen with 360hz touch sampling rate and dual speakers with hi res audio with Dolby Atmos as well as an IR blaster. Yes it has a very ordinary camera, particularly in low light conditions, but if you think that is garbage perhaps you should educate yourself because you clearly must have no idea about cutting edge smartphone technology. I wouldn't even say that the camera is garbage. It's far from the best out there but it's also far from the worst too.

            I'd rather pay more for a high-end Samsung flagship or use a 20 year old Nokia 3310 than any chinese garbage. It's called dignity.

                Nope because it is MediaTek. LOL!

                  Anonymous, 24 May 2021yeah, I don't get the hate against itHaters gonna hate no matter how low the price is, they would rather pay over the odds for a phone that probably performs worse like most of the Samsung A series with trash socs and 720p screens just because they made by Samsung. Personally I think this phone is awesome for the price, especially the early bird deal.

                    Good phone made worse by 5G. This costs around the X3 Pro which I'd easily take over this
