      If Samsung has forgotten how to make good phones. They should stop making them for a while. No SD Card, No Headphone Jack, No Removable Battery, No Snapdragon CPU for all countries, No IR Blaster, No 4K Display, No Hi-Res Audio and No Metal Uni-Body Construction like their competitors. Seriously what are they trying to make? An iPhone?

          Is it just me or is this just more BS marketing.
          Facts.
          Glass is heavier.
          Glass is more costly to replace.
          I don't know anyone, you might that has a flagship phone without a case on it.
          Come on!
          Stop the BS.

                New guy, 21 Dec 2021Nah bruv, I disagree. At it's price and given that it ... moreI totaly agree with you. S-series were supose to be flagship and Ultra the extreme flagship.
                They forget that S22 and Plus model are still flagships. They could make Fan edition or lite version with only FHD plus.
                Me for exemple i like more compact smartphones. Even if i did not care about the money i can t use a phone that gigantic as Plus or ultra model.
                I play games on my way to work, and the display quality it is a lot more important when you play games with high end graphics and look close to your phone. FHD 120hz screen are made you mid range smartphones, not for a flagship.
                People complain about a 15$ charger but they don t care about the screen quality that is very reduced.

                    They won't understand and keep commenting No SD card just buy cloud storage, no 3.5mm jack just buy BT headphones.

                    On top of all the downgrades prices keeps skyrocketing AND Samsung won't ship SD to Europe just Exynox, so can't even use AptX HD only lower bitrate AptX.

                    So l am sticking to my S10 with headphone jack and Shure SE535.

                    Oh also S10 vs S21/22
                    (1440x3040 vs 1080x2400)

                    No thanks

                        Anonymous, 21 Dec 2021My Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S4 would disagree with that stateme... moreThat's because plastic back is textured single color material on both, S2 and S4. If it was scratched, there was same material underneath. S2 even had removable back cover for battery, which could be replaced if scratched. Whole different times really. With Galaxy S6, Samsung started using fancy painted plastics where color rubbed off from base plastic underneath and looked like absolute vomit afterwards.

                        If plastic back was solid polycarbonate I actually wouldn't mind it. Sure, it would still scratch, but it's all same color material through the entire depth of plastic. Not the case today with fancy paint coatings and rainbow/mirror finishes.
