Oh yes they also bring excuse that chinese product is cheap knock off bla bla bla. Sorry, but i'm pretty sure that cheap knock off phone such vivo x200 pro camera will be outperform your s25 series, and even iphone 16 pro max.

either side with A or B, rarely you find neutral people
and what make it worse is that, each side love to mock each other
thus comments will always be like this
if only people realize, phone manufactured nowdays is quite similar to each other, there different in features and prices, so its back to user preferences
for gsmarena, even though there "No bashing" rules, but most comments seems allowed as long it not went to far, well its better have people commenting in the post, rather than no comment because strict rules

nice, but this also could mean samsung won't be using Silicone-Carbon (Si/C) batteries anytime soon
anyhow, good initiative from samsung 👍
even if Samsung were to switch to Si/C the next year, we'd still have lots of phones with Li-Ion battery being used in the world. When those phones will be disposed, someone will need to recycle those Li-Ion batteries. So it's nice to see Samsung do this themselves.

It's fast, cheaper, offer better camera, better cooling, better screen, better battery life, better fast charging. Almost better on all aspect than samsung phone except perhaps software support. Spy? No concrete proof chinese phone spy on you or your samsung and iphone dont spy on you. Your racism wont bring you anywhere. If you bit more mature and open minded, you will find better deal than s25 series.

The smartphone business isn't definitely unprofitable, after all.

Until Silicon Carbon battery technology matures, then there's not much point in switching. Besides, most phones using these have terrible battery life.

sdkk, 23 Jan 2025If Samsung is so concerned about the environment and e-wast... moreIt's called a business. They're not tricking. They're selling. And Samsung isn't the only one guilty of this. Everyone in the phone industry is guilty. OEMs are better off releasing a new phone every 2 years. But then automobiles are the same way. They release a design of a car that practically looks the same as last year. They use designs for 5 years and that gets called a generation. Should automobile manufacturers stop releasing cars every year because 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 models all looks the same?
Everyone in every industry recycles the same things over and over to consumers. A new laptop may look the same as the one from 2 years ago. That's how business works. We could easily say the Switch 2 is the same thing to the Switch 1 from 8 years ago. I do wish Samsung returned to their designs from 2015-2019.
