The only devices that you like are samsung products,lol.

Everybody else, check his favorites list. That's proof.

When I say that the mi 11 ultra is the better android in every single way, you say "BuT sMaRtPhOnEs aReN't AlL aBoUt SpEcS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Issue is, that's what makes iPhones superior: specs aren't the only thing that decides on a phone. Hmmm.... I sniff a contradiction going around here!

    Hmmm... would you trust 3rd party estimates or a random guess from a random hater on this site?

      We have to wear masks once in a century.

      98% of the time in the century, face ID is superior.

      2% of the time, fingerprint recognition is superior.

      Hmmm.... So you still think fingerprint ID is superior? How silly.

        https://www.counterpointresearch.com/global-smartphone-share/

        Samsung global share is increasing every year, in total number of phones sold, per year. Apple might lead in a few places, but Samsung leads overall

        In 2021, where Apple still selling 60 hz phones at flagship price, samsung has far better phones like the Galaxy Fold series, with far better tech

          What? It’s worldwide https://www.counterpointresearch.com/apple-continues-to-retain-over-half-of-premium-smartphone-market-in-q2-2021/

          ” Apple captured close to 75% of the ultra-premium segment, compared to 54% a year ago. This shift also indicates that more consumers now prefer high-end devices after realizing the importance of smartphones to them during the COVID-19 lockdowns.”

              Exactly, just like iPhone Pro, which owns atleast 75% of ultra premium market

                Android.Authority, 03 Nov 2021There is no Indian ultra premium category or European ultra... moreExactly. Premium cannot be determined by regions. Trix really has no clue about anything lol. He just brings up statistics from internet and pastes them here like, "okay so here on page 23 it says Apple is the best. Idk really, but maybe that's true ..."

                  -Trix-, 03 Nov 2021I don’t set the rules, it’s from averages, India ultra prem... moreThere is no Indian ultra premium category or European ultra premium category.
                  Averages of all phone prices can't be considered to determine what qualifies as premium.
                  Ultra Premium is defined by something that is out of reach for most users (pricewise) like the Galaxy Z Fold 3.

                    -Trix-, 03 Nov 2021” Android dominating ultra premium segment.” No iPhone P... moreThe iPhone is still an iPhone, no matter how many of TBs they add and unfortunately it will never make it into the category of really very premium phones like the Galaxy Fold 3. That is only reserved for innovation and not imposters with a terabyte of free storage and an inflated price tag

                      Android.Authority, 03 Nov 2021You need a brain check if you think 800$ qualifies as ultra... moreI don’t set the rules, it’s from averages, India ultra premium is above $600 phone.

                      And Apple sold whopping 75% of all those ;)

                          No iPhone Pro models are dominating that by big margin.

                            constipation, 03 Nov 2021I'm talking about installing APKs and sideloading apps... morePeople already get other apps from playstore. For the apps not available on playstore like Newpipe and Vanced... No it's not an hassle to install apk.
                            If someone can go in settings and adjust brightness or operate a smartphone in general then installing an apk file is no different.

                            Android users aren't like iOS users who are clueless about everything. So many people download gcam by watching YouTube videos. There is a link to download the file in the videos description > download file > go to file explorer app > click on apk file and done.

                            Even step by step instructions are given, so even the most technically deficient users are easily able to follow those steps and get the apk of choice installed.

                              LOL 800$ is far from ultra premium.
                              Ultra premium category consists of phones which are too expensive for most people.
                              800$ isn't that expensive.
                              Android dominating ultra premium segment. Your 1tb pro Max didn't even exist until a month back. Sit down boy and stop claiming iPhone is dominating that segment.

                                Android.Authority, 03 Nov 2021There is no ultra premium category at 800$. 800$ qualifies... moreThat is true but certain iPhone users have flawed logic to think that any phone can somehow become a premium or even ultra premium solely with the price it comes at. The $800 iPhone 13 is premium so the $1600 iPhone 13 Pro Max would be an ultra premium solely because it is twice as expensive. By that same logic, the Caviar iPhones will be the most premium phones out there which of course sounds ridiculous. A mainstream phone is premium not just because of the price, but also the features and innovation it brings, and there the Galaxy Fold comes into consideration, which is the true ultra premium phone

                                  However about that "age old stereotype" then you do believed that Android apps are mostly only optimized for phones (and very few amount of TV apps), not tablets nor notebooks, due to its minor popularity compared to their contemporaries.

Perhaps you might've seen average users to installs APKs for once but to them it's a hassle. You could (and supposed to) get third party apps from Play Store.

                                    What I meant from that comment you replied earlier is installing apps from outside of Play Store, if my comments earlier confused you.

                                      Android.Authority, 03 Nov 2021Photoshop on tablet like surface pro 8 which runs full wind... moreSure. But it's better than nothing, in Android. Also, that was just examples, not meant to solely support what I'm arguing about.

                                        Android.Authority, 03 Nov 2021There is no ultra premium category at 800$. 800$ qualifies... more"There is no ultra premium category at 800$.
                                        800$ qualifies as regular flagships, not ultra premium ones."

                                        That's not how the market sees it

                                        "Counterpoint defines the premium market segment as devices that are retailing over 400. With that said, Apple's performance in the ultra-premium segment, where devices are retailing at $800 or above, is also commendable."
