RobinArc, 22 Apr 2024If they really care about environment, they should release ... moreNewsflash. No adult cares about the environment, and those who do, usually do so just to feel better about themselves or to make money off it.

    They should sell S22 of such too.

            Just like what I previously predicted:

            “ When the S24 series received 7 years of updates (until 2030) that meant more people down the line will be comparing the S24 lineup side by side with the A series mid rangers, which will increase the value of the S24 series & allow Samsung to slowly phase out the A series.

            If you look at A55/A35 this year you’ll notice that Samsung kept the same 4 years of major updates of the A series. Samsung also stopped selling A55 in the US in fear of cannibalizing the S23 FE & have opted to just ship the A35 instead.

            I speculate that Samsung’s strategy is going to be the following:
            1- Samsung will have a “Great Reset“ during 2029 when they will departure from the idea of selling A series phones/tablets altogether.
            2- They will switch to solely selling the FE & Renewed/Refurbished flagships just like Apple does. (In the name of saving the environment)
            3- This means by 2030, Certified-Renewed Flagships with 3-4 years left will officially replace the A series budget phones.
            4- A55 (2024) could be the last A5x. A36 (2025): last A3x. A28 (2026): last A2x. A08s (2027): last A0Xs. A09 (2028): last A0X.
            5- We’ll be left with the A19 (because that’s the best seller & the one that matches the iPhone 19’s naming scheme) up until 2029.

            Keep in mind that Samsung has introduced the A series strategy back in 2019., meaning 2029 will mark the 10th anniversary. “

              Mijing, 22 Apr 2024Have you ever heard about Huawei? They are using kirin9000 ... moreThat's another fact how greedy they are in disguise and those clowns talking about how they care for environment. Hilarious!

So much efficiency I hear about each year and yet I still have to charge my phone once in a day which should have been like 2/3 days how they brag about efficiency. I understand how economy works and every company wants to make profit but if they can't find better way to recycle wastes then it will always be like chicken egg problem and by the time they find any miracle this world will be doomed. You see already how climate is reacting. And as I said it's up to the consumer. If they don't buy so often the demand will go down and makers may reduce their production as well.

                  With some modifications mean optimization which is better then before with enough performance.
                  The soc upgrade every year is just a marketing they just give very little upgrade every year if they give all at once will it last long ?
                  They are doing business and lust of money is root of all kind of evil they don't love environmental they love money and their strategies

                    RobinArc, 22 Apr 2024If they really care about environment, they should release ... moreNot really possible due to how fast smartphone socs are improving every year, manufacturers who skip out years will just be at a disadvantage

This should reduce the E-Waste. And people should encouraged to use their phone more unless at a point it can't function as it should. We don't have to upgrade desktop computer so often so why phone need to be upgraded every year or two doesn't make any sense. Now it's up to consumer's mindset how they want to treat their environment.

                          If they care about the environment all their phones will come with charger and handset in the box plus the battery will be easily replaceable
