[deleted post]Samsung and Apple, over the past decade, have tricked you and many others to pay more for phones you think is more durable when it's not.
The Samsung phones are build in the same way as many chinese manufacturers including Xiaomi.
They are even made in same areas and same factories with the same materials.
To be fair, the consumers across the globe have paid too much for phones manufactured in China but with a Samsung label.

    For the business it may be relevant but for Technology that gets obsolete in few 2-3 years in the smartphone world, customers don’t bother investing more than $300 - $600 in Android and yet they get the maximum value for their money, freedom to upgrade anytime without having to worry about blowing their wallets !!

      Let's buy iphone, since they never made 'a too cheap phone'!, right, dude?

      LOL, u people never cease to amaze me in badmouthing Android smartphones.

      If not for Xiaomi and other Chinese brands, people would have still payed 350$ for SD4xx powered smartphones!

        No iPhone to be found above 1500$

          [deleted post]Most Android users ARE dumb like iOS users.
          People use Android phones cuz it's cheap.
          No one gives a damn about customizing, it's only geeks that care about such things.
          Again, you need to step outside and see the real world.

            Bob, 02 Jun 2021Nobody wants a 4:3 aspect, its not the 1970'sIf nobody are everyone, as iPad dominates tablet market.

              [deleted post]They took some good ideas from Android and incorporated into their OS. It's other way around too. This is how a fast moving industry works.
              BUT they don't just simply copy-paste, they seamlessly integrate into their OS. They still need to work on it. Their development team works on it.
              How much effort is it to just straight out copy-paste without making any modifications?
              That's just cheap and lazy and that's what all these Chinese brands amount to.

                Most of the people don't know how to change the various settings, and you're expecting them to use theme store.
                Step out of the cave you're living.
                Don't go ranting about iOS, cuz I don't know sh!t about it. I've only used Android phones my whole life.

                  Look at iBoyzz Going crazy on the Internet sharing their home screens and their new found ability of widgets.
                  The moment they knew it was added, they couldn't stop jumping on it.
                  While you guys were the ones always saying in the past that iOS users are not bothered by it. They don't need customization.
                  Therefore proving that iOS users get all the latest features served to them as leftovers from Android. Android users finish their meal as they get served first while iOS gets breadcrumbs and leftovers

                    That's like saying regular users don't even know where the camera app or gallery app or video player app is...

                      399. Don't similar size tablets go for under $200 on Asian shopping sites? I'm not being that funny either.

                      Somebody needs to crack the Linux tablet phone with support for JavaScript apps. Time for Kickstarter or Indiego safety device?

                        Don't, hate the curved edges screen.
                        Prefer sharp boxy design.

                          Ok wow this time I would be on apple's side if they sue Huawei. The whole thing is not just similar, it IS an iPadOS clone! No seriously. It's a clone. Widgets, clock, battery icon and position, the dock, all the icons, the fonts. This is an iPad clone. Such a shame cos it's an otherwise promising tablet. People who say otherwise clearly haven't touched an ipad the last 3 years

                            This is like the wor between ferucio Lamborghini and Enzo Ferrari, I'm glad they fight and hope this new software can rival ios,
                            Speaking of the elefant, mate pad pro is interesting but not as pro as apple, and that limitation to 512gb including your separate 256 GB NMcard that is very expensive and hard to find locally is very hard to choose it.
                            - i will wait at least 5 generations from now like i wait 3 generations for Samsung too revel something interesting

                              Do you think guys here at GSMArena are regular users?
                              Come out of your little world dude.

                              "Ios users identity is the same boring icons", yeah that's why your favorite brand loves copying them. Stop simping so much.

                                If there's a website that's general to everyone like Steam, that allows users to easily DL or purchase apps on the android OS, this Hwawei OS will kick off well.

                                Currently Android OS method of sideloading apps is PITA. Make it more win10 like and from a public service easy to access. Android authority or Android police sites not very user friendly.

                                    it's a harmony between Android and iPadOS

                                      In 2021, it looks like they are breathing new life in the tablet world with some software overhauls.
                                      As you said, manufacturers are also showing good interest.
                                      The day won't be far when Android establishes it's authority in the tablet segment just like they did in the smartphone segment.

                                        On Android, you can choose to define your own individual identity with icons of your choice.

                                        Anyone who complains of stock icons being a copy has never used a theme store before.
                                        Regular users don't care about such things, they just dwld the icon pack of choice from theme store
