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, 10 Jan 2025They 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?

                              So GSMArena now take infos from a retailer? Lol c'mon these phones are launching in 12 days can't we just sit back and wait? Rather than spread misinformation from an unreliable leak, I don't if this is done to cause some kind of argument in the cs but whatever. We all know retailers hike phone prices and also reduce them when they don't have sales it's nothing new.

                                    Doubt that rumor. Samsung will half their sales if they go for such prices. We all know how their prices fall after 3-6 months as well.. so i wouldn't worry at this stage

                                      Companies are not charity. Want cheaper phones? Buy last year’s flagship instead. The S24 are still great phones with long software updates.
