The watch 7 ultra is peeling paint. Battery life is horrible. The head phones are bad. I prefer the buds 2 pro by far. Been a 20 year samsung guy. Will be moving on to another brand.

the samsung watch looks nothing like the apple watch save for an orange band, take that band off and it is entirely different looking product.
The buds 3 when in use look nothing like airpods pro, although when laid out flat on a table as in the picture used sure there is some similarities, but not enough for someone to confuse them with AirPods unless they have been living under a rock for the past 6 years.

dt031sin, 02 Aug 2024Understandable, as this design looks worse than buds 2 pro ... moreI am in the minority who likes the new buds 3.
I've tried buds pro, buds 2, buds 2 pro - all of them caused me ear infection, even after 15 mis of using them.
I've been using Buds 3 Pro for several weeks now, so far no ear infection. Which is probably due to less intrusive/snug design into the earlobes.

The buds 3 look original enough, there were wired earphones with stems for at least 20 years before apple released their first airpods.
I would take more concern in quality and features (no multipoint connectivity for non-samsung devices).

Understandable, as this design looks worse than buds 2 pro and still doesn't have significantly better controls or mic quality.
None of the improvements came from just the design change, so we can assume that they could have made these improvements with other designs as well.
So, basically, they just copied Apple for the looks and to appease people who only associate TWS with the Apple buds design.

ProMax Ultra, 02 Aug 2024It would be interesting to see Chairman's reaction aft... moreApple iOS 18.0 seems to me like UI skin! Apple Original iOS UI resembling real world things was something was Apple’s original. Once they started with the flat design, it was pretty much copy paste from Android world. But apple always gets away when they copy extensively.

As far as Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra goes, except for the name, there is nothing copied as such. Already, Galaxy Watch 6 Classic has everything this Watch Ultra has except for the new processor and Titanium material. The design nowhere closure to Apple Watch Ultra or Ultra 2. Chairman must aware of these facts!
Buds Pro 3 may be unwanted deviation from Buds Pro 2 (which I have) which itself is an excellent design and very convenient than the new design with ogre like extension from both ears. This should have been avoided.
But Apple will copy Samsung on Foldables and Rings but pretend like they pioneered every single technology in the earth! LOL!

Akinaro, 02 Aug 2024We talking here about major show and flagship devices... If... moreYou don't understand, this person is the VC of Samsung the holding group, Samsung Electronics is below, and the mobile division is even lower. The devices in question is a minor product on his eyes, a smartwatch and TWS which doesn't even account to a hundredth of S24 series revenue.
Fun fact: Samsung Electronics' CEO is another man named Jong Hee-Han, not Jay Y. Lee. If you want to blame someone, blame him.

I absolutely love my new Samsung Ultra watch and this is coming from someone who wore the Watch 5 Pro daily for the past two years. Huge upgrade across the board. It's the first smartwatch screen that has high enough resolution to have the high-end look and feel plus the new Ultra watch faces look amazing. To those that feel the square design somehow copied Apple, Samsung was making square watches several years before Apple even made a watch. Apple also doesn't have a patent on orange straps as it's been common especially for dive watches and luxury watches forever.
I'll be keeping my Buds 2 Pros as they sound unreal and have great battery life. If Apple didn't patent the design it's open season for the stems. If you check several companies have adopted the stem design. If you look at Apples iPhone it's riddled with straight rip offs from Samsung and the Android world especially the software. As an end user, I could care less as I simply want the best design possible and if the companies borrow off each other and then improve on the design and put their own spin on it that's the name of the game. Literally how every product in the world works. Have you taken a look at how similar looking the new GM 1500 trucks look compared to the Ford F150s? Crazy resemblance with their own spin and additions. Just cracks me up how people get so bent out of shape with the mobile designs specifically Apple and Samsung.

Other than that, everything is unique in its own way. The fact that Sony still keep the bezel for a truly full screen experience without the punch hole eyesore is what makes me keep going after it since LG's exit from the smartphone market.

Thank you Mr Lee, 02 Aug 2024Its about time someone gives the Samsung Mobile division a ... moreTotally agree with you. Deep down, LG always knew that foldable screen isn't the answer for a pocketable tablet. Also, LG is still the only brand that put proper DAC audio in mainstream smartphones. It was because of my V50's superbly excellent audio quality that I completely stopped embracing wireless earbuds and gone fully wired. You can throw in any wireless earbuds to any LG flagship smartphones, and not one can come close to the latter's audio quality.

Besides, chairs and executives who micromanage their employees is hated everywhere and generally not a good business, these people have no clue how business works especially for a megacorp like this.
If anything he took this action himself signs he's doing his job.
