Talking about yourself here, I see.

"The behaviour you are witnessing is not normal. Imagine if NOT Samsung it is targeted an individual, group, gender, class etc."

It's a company, it does NOT have feelings, nor does it care about the feelings of its customers, none of them do, be it Samsung, Sony, vivo, Infinix, any company. Groups, assuming it's made up of people or animals have feelings, individuals as well, and let's not start talking about gender when it's clearly against the rules here. Plus you can imagine whatever you want to, but what you've said is NOT what I'm doing.

This is a forum about phones, where ANYONE can, meaning ALLOWED to voice their opinion, about any phone or phone brand, whether it's negative or positive. Opinions can change, but just the fact that some don't, doesn't mean that a person has to stop saying them.

My opinion on a brand has changed for example, just last year, and that's Asus, but it doesn't matter, since you simply don't understand how a forum works.

      I was hoping Motorola releases a nice compact phone at 200 range (with slightly less specs)

          'Yeah, that's not the way I chose to live, I voice my opinion and that's that.'

          Your actions speak louder than your words. Checked your comment history and it shows it's almost exclusively Samsung bashing. An unhealthy obsession with bashing them on almost every article that mentions them. Maybe you don't realize it but look at your comment history

Anyway, a worse product in every respect.

                Say you have a bad experience with a phone,
                You buy a Vivo and move on (not trauma like say a car accident)
                What you don't do is bash a brand year in year out

                You can call for help as long as you're not using a Samsung any Samsung
                And who gave this individual power to decide?

                "I had a bad experience" as we all do reading it since 2022 my return to the forum, then he posted 3000 less comments than today's number

                The behaviour you are witnessing is not normal. Imagine if NOT Samsung it is targeted an individual, group, gender, class etc.

                No matter those with agendas ALWAYS posted a manifesto and there it is

                  Don't be surprised if the screen has defect (green line etc.) within a year.
                  My first month s9 and pre ordered s22 had that problems.

                  Due to the that, I have low confidence on the quality of galaxy s early production batches

                    this is just the same phone since S22. while the hardware was good at that time, today is mediocre at best. screen resolution, battery size, charging speed, cameras, other brands offer more in every aspect. if today my S22 would broke, I'd seriously consider buying something else, because $800 for essentially the same phone I've used for 3 years is nonsensical

                    also, even S24 is a much better choice, because all you lose compared to S25 is 1 year of support, so'll have 6 years of support """only""", but for a much friendlier price

                      Yeah, that's not the way I chose to live, I voice my opinion and that's that.

                      "People will naturally move away from them if they are not satisfied with their products."

                      Unfortunatelly that's not true, a lot of people are already not satisfied with Samsung's A or S series, and especially not with the Flip and Fold series, yet they just buy that again and again, because of lack of trust in chinese brands, and/or lack of knowledge of other brands.

                        "The Samsung Galaxy S25 is easily the go-to compact Android phone to get."
                        No thanks, I hate big smartphone, but if the Vivo X200 Pro mini doesn't hit the global market, I refuse to use this S22 edition 2025.

                                      DarlingYext, 01 Feb 2025"Have you had a bad experience with using them?" ... morePeople will naturally move away from them if they are not satisfied with their products. Look what happened with Nokia. All brands list their specs so people can know what they are buying if they care about specs. If you give 100 people the latest Samsung flagship or latest flagships from Vivo, Xiaomi, OPPO or Honor there will be different opinions on them as technical specs aren't the only thing. More people in China will choose Huawei flagships compared to Vivo for example even though Huawei is seriously restricted in terms of certain hardware specs. Many people are satisfied with their flagships but others aren't and will move to another brand. No matter how much you bash them though it's not going to take them down. It'll be their own products over the long term that will decide their fate

                                        I received my S25 yesterday (256 GB mint). Coming from a Sony Xperia 10 iv the hardware and performance are a huge step up. I was worried that the mint colour would be too bright but it's very nice, quite muted. The software, on the other hand, is so annoying. On any other Android device, do not disturb pauses all notifications. Not on a Samsung, they still appear. Why?!
