Samsung rocks. No Apple for me. If you want an Apple product just look for better alternatives instead.

      I use UAE because it's practically tax free there.

      Most Chinese oem Msrp they don't include tax, hence you find them expensive worldwide, but Samsung are cheaper than Msrp worldwide.

      Am from Africa and every Samsung phone here is Significantly cheaper than Msrp.

                  c3user, 24 Aug 2021Agree.... even though i hates Samsung & Apple, there is... moreI can't wait to see what will happen when Pixel 6 phones get 5 years of software support. It'll be unheard of thing in Android side of things and for people who care about software updates, Google Pixel phones won't have any competition. Others will have to step up the game, the issue is, not many will be able to do it. Samsung has the capability and chanes are they'll be the first to follow. Everone else using Qualcomm and Mediatek chipsets can only pressure them to offer longer driver support so they can longer support chipsets from them. Currently both Qualcomm and Mediatek only offer 3 years of support afaik.

                    Hemedans, 24 Aug 2021A20 had us Variant which cost that amount, But internationa... moreA20 launch price in Malaysia is $160 and redmi note 8 $140. A20 in UAE is $170 and note 8 was also $170. So who is selling the most? i see redmi note 8 with 25 million sales.

                      rizki1, 24 Aug 2021Why you comparing with redmi 8? Lol huge price difference m... moreA20 had us Variant which cost that amount, But international Version cost less than that, where am from A20 was just $130. And you can check all countries with little to no tax like like UAE or Malyasia to get accurate comparisons of price before Tax.

                        it was already slow with factory OS. i had to disable animations to make it functional. ... i can only imagine how slow and unusable it will become now. Samsung need to step up their CPU game

Lol huge price difference my friend, this compares to redmi note 8 pro $210 in India vs Samsung A20 $250 in US $180 in India. There are cheaper $140 vanilla redmi note 8.

                          With the exception of super amoled and few months later from A20, Xiaomi wins everywhere.
                          And can you think about how much it would cost if Samsung made those Xiaomi specs? I'm sure it's over $300

                            rizki1, 24 Aug 2021but dont forget that price differences this samsung to xiao... moreFirst generation A series were Dirty cheap and offer good perfomance, cheaper than Xiaomi atleast in lowend.

                            A20 did compete with redmi 8, and A20 were superior in every area.

                            From Amoled display to Bigger Cortex A73 cores.

                            So at that time one who bought A20 got good value.

                            It was Until Last Year (2020) when Xiaomi Released Redmi 9 and Samsung downgrade A20 to A21s, then Xiaomi took Crown of that price point.

                                  There is no doubt that realme c3 has better hardware compared to low end M01. That's the reason i bought c3. But what is the use when the software/os lets you down?.
                                  Right now realme c3 with android 11 is buggy as hell. May be it will improve with another update.

Every time I say updates matter and that Apple and Samsung are the best when it comes to updates, all I get is a flood of salty haters screaming how "updates don't matter and Android is 10 years ahead of iOS anyway". And then those same whiners who piss on importance of software updates (which is longevity and how timely they are) are whining in bunch of articles how this and that brand/model is getting updates so late. Yeah, make up your mind already.

                                      Not known, 24 Aug 2021It is a fact that Samsung pushes updates ahead of time.

I myself experienced this when i was using their dirt cheap M01. The one ui 3/android 11 update, which was fine on M01 has some great features like a new battery saving mode etc .Currently using a realme which has got stable android 11 update, but performance wise it is a beta update. Even gcam/google support is no longer there.
