LoneOwl, 02 Aug 2022Actually in Eu,people have more Chinese flagships than ever... moreSadly, mi note 10 was last mid range gem I remember, together with vivo x30pro which I got.
No nxt mid hero now. Doogee s98 pro is great, but no superwide and tele there.
Looking at flagship prices, may as well just go for new 35-150 f2-2.8, if there is still some left lol.

The thing is that there's other brands offering more for the money and people are beginning to realise that.

PhoneFreak45, 03 Aug 2022So you're saying because people still want new phones ... moreYou don't want an SD card slot and that's fine for you then but why can't you accept that other people do prefer it? Everyone understands that loading saved data from an external SD card outside of the integrated storage using the likes of UFS 2.1 or 3.1, is not going to be as fast. I still would prefer that to loading it from some cloud storage service via 4G, 5G or wifi where I feel the data is not truly mine. Who knows what really happens with that data when it's stored in the Google cloud or icloud? They're never going to tell you. 64gb with a good 8-10gb consumed by system storage is not enough. You need more space and I'm not happy to use cloud storage - which is often now paid for as well - or OTG adapters through a type-c port to connect USB type A drives. SD cards existed for years and represented an easily accessible and cheap solution, particularly when transferring data from one phone to a new phone.

A NAS would only complicate things unnecessarily, not to mention I'm not paying for a bunch of data to use a NAS outside the house when I can just, use the phone I've been using.

Anonymous, 03 Aug 2022Your statement is funny, because majority of chinese phone ... moreThe fanbase constantly reminding about the hardware provided by Chinese companies. Providing specs is one, reliability is another. Both together makes a good hardware. The fail rate of those Chinese are higher compared to for say apple and Samsung. Software makes the hardware work. Full of bugs, advertising inside OS, poor customer support etc. doesn't make those top products. What would I do with specs if it doesn't work properly or fail suddenly?

From camera sensor, amoled screen, UFS, Memory to processor all provided by samsung.
The hardware innovation made by samsung are not in question anymore, because that was yesterday level.
Right now Samsung is moving to the next level, focusing on software support longetivity, establishing more official stores worldwide, refining samsung ecosystem, reinventing foldable phones and increasing brand values. Those are something, any chinese brand would need decades to catch.
