16 December 2022
In the Korean company's view, it's time for people to get off the fence and switch.

Anonymous, 16 Dec 2022Read my comment again. I said it runs fine.I read it. I'm just saying that it's to be expected that any midrange or even low end phone would run fine for communication tasks.

So, no, they wouldn't be an alternative for the iPhone mini. Something like a Samsung S10e would work, but it doesn't look like Samsung, or any other Android manufacturer, is going to introduce a flagship-grade phone that size any time soon.

                                  Let's be honest, the "positives" apple products have are pretty questionable, and the true reason has to do with american marketing and racist propaganda against China. Samsung is more or less collateral damage.

                                  This whole fake reasoning of "keeping your phones up to date" is really stupid. You have all used nokias for years with the same software they had when they first came out. You all have old Nintendos you enjoyed for years but you suddenly resort to "they're gonna get you" propaganda to try to get the world buy a certain brand.

                                  Tech reviewers praising the google pixel against other brands like it's the second coming of Jesus Christ is another consequence of "If it's american it's good". Everyone knows phones like the Vivo X90 Pro are better than the iphone and the pixel when doing careful research. This whole iPhonist technological ideology is bad for the world in the long run.

                                        Samsung u should concerned about new flip rival from Chinese like oppo find n2 flip. Did they see that that n2 flip have bigger battery, bigger secondary screen and no gap at all. By the way why compare foldable with normal form? Did Samsung obsessed with apple? Maybe yes. But the new treat here are Chinese manufacture, just wanna see if Samsung can keep the foldable throne from many years from now.
