Even our company phones are iPhones. Why? Because most of MDMs are working best with Apple products through Apple Enterprise suite. Everytime I see the newest version of Sammys Ultra phone I think: "Nice try", but in business they basically do not exist. In the States... it's pretty hard to find somebody with an Andorid phone. Even kids or students (if you will) in In-N-Outs Burgers use iPhones. These guys don't care how good Sammys camera is or how much you customize your phone. They love AirDrop, AirPods and other things Apple products can do and Android basially can't. On top of this... there is a migration issue from Apple to Samsung environment. The issue is named... iCloud ;-) You can't easly get your 100k photos and videos out of your iCloud 2TB account and store them let's in Google Photos. ;)

Samsung and apple would have their wives and children warming up soup and eventually cause their wives to kick them out.

      I love Samsung

        The funny thing is... No body cares about Samsungs. At my workplace nobody is using Samsung device, including lowest paid jobs positions. Ok S25 Ultra could be having better cameras bla bla bla, but it's not an iPhone or THE iPhone. So... For iPhone users it's just an interesting thing instead of "the real thing". If you know what I mean.

Apparently, you're the only one who doesn't know that all phone manufacturers except iPhone and Samsung use newer charging technology, batteries with higher capacity and longer life. On top of that, they're safer for the environment. But you keep telling yourself that these are fake numbers, no problem. In your fictional world, that's probably how it is.

I've been using phones on 1+ for 5 years and I know that it's like that with the battery. Since I have a Samsung S24+ for work, as well as an iPhone 15 at my disposal, I know that it's like that with their batteries. Keep paying prices for phones like for 2025, which have specifications of phones from 2018-2022. If we're going to list who has what, let me start with the S25U - Moura effect, pink dead pixels, green line on the screen in the camera application, a display that lights up and turns off by itself, sometimes the fingerprint reader doesn't work, throttling like crazy under load, the battery lasts 5 hours and 30 minutes on mobile data and..and..and... enough so that I don't feel like writing 2 hours for another 1500 problems...

                        kdss, 23 Feb 2025Keep dreaming... 🤣 Wait, let's do a quick check: 1+ ... moreYeah keep believing those fake numbers given by oneplus. Also enjoy your 1+1 ram management, even with 16gb ram apps still reload in the background 🤣. I will gice you a quiz: what happens if you're using a 1+1 phone, receive a phonecall while playing a game and you decide to pick up the phone??
                        I know you won't be able to answer so here's it: "The game will reload and you would have to start all over again".
                        This doesn't happen in Samsung, even when using a galaxy grand prime with 1.5gb ram.

                          Wait, let's do a quick check:
                          1+ 13 - up to 1600 battery charge cycles.
                          iPhone 16 Pro Max - up to 1200 battery charge cycles
                          Samsung - they don't even give that much.
                          According to mathematics, 1600 is more than 1200. But you obviously live in another world. 🤣

                                Sammy is just trying so hard to copy the fruit that is a disgrace.
                                In the process of doing so loses its own identity and direction is just sad, copying iphone iteration of same minor hardware yr on year is just a joke.
                                More or less the same camera setup since s23 infact downgraded from 10x optical to 5x optical; same 5000Mah battery for the last 5 years while even iphone has increased its size; downgraded s-pen without Bluetooth; uses same last year display panel instead of the latest. Instead of a pioneering leader, Sammy is just a cheapskate copycat wannabe thesedays.

                                RIP S25U

It's high time you started reading about new technologies... Things are developing, they haven't been sitting in the same place for 5 years like Samsung and Apple.
                                  How exactly will what you wrote happen?
                                  1+ gives 1600 charge cycles for the battery of 1+ 13.
                                  Apple guarantees 1200 for the A16 Pro Max. As for Samsung, I don't know if they give that much for the 25Ultra, but I don't bother searching the internet to check.
                                  Explain to me how 1200 is more than 1600.

                                    We've been impressed so far with the Samsung Galaxy S25 series (see our Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra review, for example), and there's one more S25 phone yet to launch – the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which just got shown off in a new hands-on video leak.The video has now been pulled, but not before SamMobile, tipster @MaxJmb, and others got a look at it. In terms of the design of the handset, it matches up with the glimpse of the handset we got at the Samsung Unpacked event last month.

                                        Apparently using the "less than" and "greater than" arrows messes up the comment
