For all these people hating Samsung go get chinese phone manufactured in a dictatorship country without human rights:) I go with Samsung ONLY for the sole reason that this is the only moral choice not to buy chinese stuff.

        Kangal, 08 Jul 2022Or you can look past the marketing jargon, and buy a phone ... moreI won't buy Samsung even if they give it at half the price at their launch. Their UI is not my liking and they throttle the performance. And they produce trash Exynos and they sell it in my country with everything cut in specifications. Especially modem. Not going that way. One Plus and Poco suits my needs currently. I am custom rom lover and hence purchase these only. I flash custom roms every three months and it suits my usage. I have turned my Redmi Note series into Google Pixel A line up at peanuts prices. Just no officially updated. I mean automatically. But it doesn't take too much time to tinker around. Same goes with Poco F3 and Poco F4. These devices will have crazy support in rom community and will last easily for three years when 5G will evolve completely. Not going to buy device for another three years. Purchased Redmi Note 4 used it with 10 stable custom rom over the years before the battery died on me. Used Redmi Note 10 Pro/Poco F3 with AOSP custom roms for an year and I couldn't be happier. Using Poco F4 since two weeks and I couldn't be happier. Even though price is little bit high for my liking.

            Good. Once Samsung decides to stop making garbage chips, maybe they can catch up.

                              TSMC should close their China plant and focus to invest in free countries, not dictatorship. China is always stealing technology.
