It barely matters when most people just scroll social media or browse or watch videos or shows. Literally hasn't mattered for half a decade. Gaming? Sure but it's not my cup of tea, especially when everything is just a gatcha. The cameras I did say they are an improvement, but I specifically talked about how they're so far behind competition. Same with battery life, it does have a better battery life but compared to the previous s23u not compared to competition lol. Software support is cool but it doesn't matter, take it from me as I'm still on android 12, there aren't big changes like they were between android 8 to 9 to 10 for example. And security updates? 10 years ago no one cared, probably because they'd up upgrade every year. You say you're upgrading? From what? Something older then my 5 yo note? Then good, all these improvements are present on other brands that offer objectively better phones.

It's 2025 and we can't read more than a paragraph of text.

                Anonymous, 06 Jan 2025Strip away the screen coatings of your phone then for all I care.I'm not going to stop disinfecting my phone. Very interesting how iPhone and Samsung fanboys puts up with the limiitations of their phone even if it means sacrificing their health. iPhone owners pulled down their masks during Covid to use the faceid risking infection. And now Samsung owners are afraid to disinfect their phones because it'll remove the anti-reflective coating, lol.

I've seen most TV enthusiasts use disinfectants as well. Stop acting so snobby and fighting against the consumer. You're literally supporting a scamsung product and are acting like you know a lot lmao
