    that device is a DISASTER. E-waste!
    Even people that got it for free (e.g paid by xiaomi) do not give recommendation for 14T!

    Yes, I know there are few of you here praising that company (and several paid in other sites), but that is exactly the reason for those rants..misinformation and false info spreading instead of ack and solve the issues. GSMARENA do not test devices in real life scenario, they publish lab tests and few days clicking around. And of course they risk being sent to court if they publish negative stuff. And it seems Xiaomi and few other small asian vendors really put more effort in hiding issues, than actually solving them

      reguler iphone 16 is in the same segment as reguler S25.

      Objectively, i see S25 is better choice than reguler iPhone 16.

But your illiteracy is showing as you have no context on what you were even responding to. And I know you're a fan of me since you always follow my comments on every article, but please stop as I don't think that's a mentally sound behavior. Good day. 🤭

            Ofcourse many chinese phone user dont use their broken chinese phone anymore after 3 years, many of them then move to better brand like Samsung or iPhone.

            Some Samsung or iphone user may give their phone after 4 years to their spouses or kids, but their phones still get latest sofrware for another 3 years.

The only major change for Samsung is UDC, but that technology isn't ready yet, as evinced by the crappy selfie quality on nubia phones.

                Sammy, 10 hours ago> €973 with 128GB 💀even Apple is jealous cus Samsung uses lower tier cameras for the S25 compared to the S25 Ultra AND it also might use an exynos. Whereas the iPhone 16 Pro uses their best cams available and the best chip available. Samsung is officially greedier than Apple.

                  I dislike the recent Samsung S FE and mid rangers, but the flagship S series are great from S23 onward. If you want great battery life, don't go for Chinese phones that are filled with telemetries. They only seem to have decent battery life because they put huge batteries and their OS aggressively closing down background processes. For actual phones with great battery, go for Japanese phones like Sony or Sharp. 2 or 3 days battery life for them are not uncommon.

                    [deleted post]Dejecting bit? Because you were indirectly claiming that isocell 3k1 3x telephoto belongs in a flagship.

I agree with you that One Ui is awesome there is no doubt but Recently im leaning towards Chinese brand due to Better chipset than this crappie Exynos, better SOT and better charging speed. In the last two years samsung just raised their price for AI and gave us nothing!

                          Are you equating those iOS copy skins to OneUI? Software is expensive, there's a reason OneUI is superior. I can list a ton of smart features that make other non Samsung phones feel like a dumb phone, but I can just use one, Dex.

                          And this is coming from me who actually like Vivo phones. Let's be objective. Samsung prices are as such because there's value in their products. If you fail to see those value, that might indicate your personal preference, but that doesn't diminish the value provided by Samsung. Clearly more people prefer Samsung than those Chinese copycats.

                                Smartphone industry is dead, most of market participants should just go and collect cotton instead

                                      What software features are you talking about btw? Lmao
                                      Like the ability to charge only up to 80% to save battery health, or something even more useless?🤣

                                        Luke, 11 hours agoThey can't. They can only show tech sheets and promise... moreroot? this isn't 2014. no one tells you this in today's smartphone landscape. and let me give you an example, the xiaomi 14t, if you look at the review from this site they clearly tell you it's a better option then the s24 for everything besides the chipset, unless the s24 has the exynos which they forgot to mention, and the build quality, also considering it's a little cheaper and comes with more memory it's clearly a better option. replace the 14t with the honor 200 pro and we've got the same story. what are y'all smoking?
