Anonymous, 17 Apr 2024Umm, I think the west is destroying itself from the inside ... moreNot really. These are not self inflicted wounds, but strategically planned by China in my opinion. For example did you know that China spends hundreds of millions of dollars for articles in US press? So basically they use our freedom of speech against us. We can't do the same to them because there is no free press in China, so its unfair game. Still, I choose to give my data to Korea or US rather than China.

              at this rate xiaomi will catch apple

              only america and celebs remain faithful to apple, the rest of the world just moved on from the trend and found samsung have better smartphones

                Anonymous, 16 Apr 2024Average software update lover = majority of smartphone user... moreWhere?

                Most people switch every year, or every 2 years, but they keep their phones for no longer than 3 years, and nearly every brand supports their phones for 3 years, which is enough..

                Your comment is especially ironic because the person I replied to uses Samsung S series phones which get 4-7 years of OS updates depending on the specific model, yet they switch every year..

None of people i know value support over time. On the contrary they get mad when they have update notification...

                                Dang, look at Transsion. 84% growth? Xiaomi better be careful.

The phones are virtually identical, basically a side-grade, and some would argue even a downgrade!
