Samsung's latest ad tells you to do your own thing instead of being an iSheep

22 November 2024
It doesn't use such strong language, but the implication is clear.

Sort by:

But i been doing it Since in the past.
My 2016 phone alive till now is Honor 8 which is not available in my country (im having a hardtime looking for phone case on this)

2019 phone poco f1 Not Popular in near in my area i also modified the case. alive till now but with dark spot on LCD

2024 phone is s24u well i become a common but i guess it has limited user in my area. anyway my phone case is unique i guess it has cam cover. i added stickers and tried to make this phone look like a cheap phone.

I have iphoneX got in 2020 just out of curiosity only that i purchase as used phone. but still i dont like iphone well their camera is kinda good if compare to phone released in same year.

        Apple: removes headphone jack
        Samsung: removes headphone jack

        I really shouldn't have to make a compromise to sacrifice my data to Chinese government (Xiaomi or any offbrand phone) just to get a headphone jack...

            This ad would have been even "decent" in 2021 when their mid rangers like A41 were genuinely trying to compete with Chinese vendors in developing/frontier Asian and African markets and the phones were bang for your buck on "common man features" like jack and radio But as 2024, they have just become the Apple they mocked for ommittance of features. In the US market where people choose to buy on contract, they would rather buy a iPhone which lacks the software molestation that carrier locked Samsung and androids often come with in the US.

                As an example of just how pointless that advice is, I could Google ‘android is s**t’ right now and spend the rest of my life trawling through the results 🤷‍♂️

                I use iOS daily, have done for some years, am well aware of what it can and cannot do. It does everything I need it do, everything I need a smartphone to do, just as Android does when I use that.

                  Very cool ad and right indeed. I moved to us and everybody use iphone and drive tesla. Very boring and basic. I'd rather use samsung and drive other brand cars like bmw or mercedes or even a toyota.

                      Carol-, 24 Nov 2024Basic question, can you change ringtones now in iphlone? If... moreSorry didn’t see that you put an earlier reply to my same post.

                      I automate my iPhone using the shortcuts app, I charge my iPhone using cables, I listen to stuff on my iPhone using headphones, I type on my iPhone using a keyboard. I don’t have ‘needs’ when it comes to changing the interface, the battery life is at least as good as any Android I ever used and I never bothered with side loading ever as both the Playstore and App Store more than cater to my needs. And I use cloud services for accessing files on other devices when needed.

                      So yeah, I could swap back to Android tomorrow, but it would just mean business as usual, I’d end up doing all the same stuff, just some of in a different way. I guess I’m just not one of those..oh what it’s it you all like to call yourselves…power users. I just use my phone as I need to during the day, and both Android and iOS both get the job done. I consider myself lucky that I’m not one of those people who have convinced themselves they cannot use one or the other 🤷‍♂️

                          Almost 2025 and Samsung still using cheap marketing like this.

                          It feels like we’ve back to 2011 again.. lol

                          Apple should thanks samsung for free marketing boost.

As for software innovation, android (in comparison to IOS and not the good old smartphone OSs) is like Ferrari while IOS is pretty much a Trabant.

                                        As for IOS, i cannot do with an basic apple phone what i am doing with android. Using Macrodorid to automate the whole device is not something apple can remotly do. Changing the interface as i please and conform to my needs, not possible in iphlone. Transfering files via bluetooth/wlan or directly to pc via a cable, NOT possible in apple device without 300 workarrounds, and that only the cherry on top of the basics lacking fruitcake of apple "phones". There are more, like: good battery, full support for whatever head-phones one wants to use. Full support for whatever charger or type c cable one wants to use, full support for sideloading and open source apps, full support for changing keyboards, and the list can continue till tomorrow. So i doubt that you can do the same with an iphone as you do with an android, unless of course, you mostly do nothing with both.
