We all want better for our money. I don't like Samsung seemingly marching in place on these releases, but I see why they do it.
I'm all in favor better camera tech in every phone.

innovation has stalled and you don't need huge leaps every single year. People don't upgrade every year. almost like Samsung knows more about phone production and marketing than gsm users 🤭

Try buying a flagship with Chinese OS from chinese online vendor. You might find a great deal.

The solution is already there. It is just chinese flagship fans that overthink much.
Want phone with random & AI generated design = buy chinese phone.
Want phone with signature design = buy Samsung or iPhone or Pixel.

Nobody wants to spend 1000 USD on a phone, and still being mistaken as a chinese phone. The fact that people know i have phone with popular brand Samsung is enough for me.
Like i said before, the cheapest BMW car or most expensive BMW car is still BMW car.

I get uniformity and all, and people will feel good about their A series looking like a flagship, but I don't think that's a good feeling when you spend near $1000 and end up looking like you own a midrange phone.

On other way i still spot people use their 5-6 years old Samsung or iPhone as their main daily phone.

Japanese phones actually are closer to stock Android as they only skin their OS lightly. That's why they have great battery life.
Amongst the Chinese, my bias is for Vivo. Although their FuntouchOS has plenty of room for improvement, it's a tad better than ColorOS and the dumpster HyperOS. Honor is another option, but their insistence in making magicOS to feel like iOS is really annoying.
