Hail the EU and push for consumers protection. Cannot wait to see Apple and Samsung crying, because they need to make phones to last more than few years (batteries) and be easely repairable 🤣

TommyVercetti, 21 Feb 2025If Xiaomi remove all of the ads from the os they will pass apple.Absolutely. I can't understand the stubborn concept to repeat same mistake over and over and expect different results.. or probably they don't - Chinese government sponsors them enough to not even try improving

Longevity is motorola, use it for 7 years (thanks to cuatom roms), battery is flat and all working well. Moto G7 is easiest to tear apart, as expected from telco legend and owner most patents in telco

Trust me, I checked, bought a Galaxy S25 Ultra on launch day, bought it from a tech store instead of a carrier and in full to avoid the extra lease charges in the long run.

Europe is not what it was. Still, it is one of the few markets where combined Chinese manufacturers doesn't dominate.

I noticed Samsung in Germany has made partnership with all 3 carriers and offers heavily subsidized S series with normal cell contracts. The final offer is much better than anything you can get out there from carriers or 3rd party resellers.. So yeah, that is how they boosted S24 series sales here. I don't think Xiaomi has such program, although I see sparhandy offering great bundles of their devices with contracts ... maybe they have exclusive partnership, idk...

"The announcement came from Canalys, which revealed the market saw just over 136 million devices shipped, with 30% of them being premium devices, priced $800 and above."
Yeah, that's just due to carrier deals.
