            Skyorbeck martinez, 23 Feb 2025S25 it's better than iphone16I completely agree with you. I recently switched from a Samsung S to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I find myself missing my Samsung S.

Your iPhone, which you probably paid almost $1000 dollars for, won't allow you. I'm sorry, but if I'm paying that much for a phone, I better be able to use it, how I see fit. I really miss the SD card slots also. Motorola still makes some of their phones with SD card slots, but you have to do the filters on this site to sort which ones have the slot. The problem is, Motorola is worse than Samsung when it comes to OS updates. I love their new phones, they look beautiful, but after previously purchasing a Motorola Edge 2022 and still waiting just to get Android 14, I'm done with Motorola. That being said, their stock Android look is pristine and fully customizable, which can't be said for iPhones.

Even after all these Apple gadgets, I don't see myself owning an iPhone. Iphones users cannot realize that Samsung phones are better. I have the note20 Ultra and S25 Ultra. I really miss the SD card. I love to install apk apps.

                      One of the most important features to me is Bluetooth audio which never gets reviewed as a lot of us spend a lot of time either in a car or with a headset on, it has been a big issue since a galaxy s10 update, I loved iPhone audio quality prior to that and it’s a big draw for me but if it has also been restricted then I’d probably favour Samsung again, the biggest note was radio volume when set had a much higher db then through the Samsung. Bug bare when turning radio on again each time or a call volume (on some radios).

                              Nameless, 23 Feb 2025I don't understand why Samsung can't make 25mp bi... moreActually, 4x and 16x downsampling modes make perfect sense. 8x may sound like a "nice even number" for the 200 MP sensor, but remember that this is tetra2pixel matrix, in reality it will be square root of 8 = 2.82 scaling factor. Apple kind of gambled there with 24 MP downsampling mode (square root of 2 = 1.41) which turned fine, but not perfect. But, I guess it would be "nice to have" despite not being mathematically ideal. Best for that use case was Samsung HMX 108 MP sensor, which had a native 27 MP photos. I can never figure why it was abandoned, as it had optimal pixel size and resolution.

Either you are poor or you never tried an iPhone. Both are wrong in my case. I used iPhone and I could buy any iPhone. But decided to buy Samsung instead. Joy to use and customize.

                                    I trust phonebuff battery comparison more than GSMArena's.
                                    And that said the difference isn't as huge as is on GSMArena. Actually, its practically the same.

                                      Most IOS users don't know the difference between budget, midrange and flagship android phone so they all see android users as broke people which is very ignorant, foolish and stupid. That android fans are roasting iOS users is bcuz iOS fans started it first

                                        How does the iphone have the better display?
                                        The brighter display on the iphone can be matched with the anti reflective display on the galaxy.
                                        The galaxy has more ppi.

                                        You can't say i5 has the better display just because it has Dolby vision can you?
