08 October 2025
Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max in that color last month.

Anonymous, 08 Oct 2025If you think that the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra looks like... moreHow about straps? I guessed it's similar to.

Honestly, I'm not being fanboy of both Samsung and Apple.

and I KNOW Apple has innovative behind Android flagship's feature since long time. But, those Chinese phone or smartwatch manufacturers, like ODM or OEM, are often following Apple's design due to affordable market and user's taste. Meanwhile, Samsung is still trying to catch up with similar features to Apple since 2021.

        People here mentioning the F55 like, no one cares about that Flipkart device. Outside of India, no one knows about it. It's irrelevant when compared to the actual flagship devices

        Samsung is all about A-series & S-series. The rest are just fillers.

                  Anonymous, 08 Oct 2025On a android phone discord forum there was a discussion abo... moreA few days ago I read a comment—I don't remember if it was from a follower of this site or another—where this same topic about copying the iOS graphical interface was being discussed. The person said that since Google services and apps aren't used at all in China, but almost no Western social networks are used, perhaps that's why Chinese manufacturers make their layers similar to iOS, since iOS has almost nothing to do with Google or any Western SF! That could be a good justification, in terms of marketing. I wonder if Google sells its pixels in China.

                    This again? In the past, Apple "copied" "Samsung's color", but some users didn't seem to notice. But when Samsung decided to use that color again, some users said that Samsung copied Apple. In any case, nobody owns colors. It's Apple that keeps copying Android phone manufacturers very slowly. Apple finally finished copying 120 Hz screens, and that's good for the consumers.

                      WhoCaresTM, 08 Oct 2025First Xiaomi and now Samsung. This is just pathetic. Ever... moreBlame Tim Cook and their overflopped fans.

                      Smartphone industries are no longer fun at the innovation

                        Seriously bro, I can't believe why Samsung is still mocking Apple, but still copying Apple lmao

                        We already know Samsung is "actually" copying Apple about:

                        - Galaxy Watch Ultra = Apple Watch Ultra
                        - Charger removed since S21 series after iPhone 12 series
                        - a new further OneUI will be "similar" to iOS onward
                        - Design retained, still following Apple's footstep smh

                        And we got:
                        - Orange Color in S26 Ultra after i17 Pro Max??

                        Okay, this is whacked bro

                          Tarabyte, 08 Oct 2025I've said it many times before and ill say it again: i... moreNormally I would say "if it ain't broken, dont fix it".

                          Base S23 being the way it was is something I didn't mind, base S25 being mostly same and S26 "Pro" probably having issue is a different matter.

                          Base S25, S24, S23 and S22 share the exact same cameras.

                          S24 brought LTPO, S25 brought 12gb of RAM and and gave EU Snapdragon again.

                          S23 brought Snapdragon to EU.

                          But they don't even have UWB the Plus, Edge and Ultra models do, that is just beyond ridiculous.

                          Battery size aside, mine is great and I know people with phones rhat have 6000mAh ones, and they still empty it in a day (social media addiciton).

                          But cameras Samsung? UWB? Macro on the Ultrawide? I mean, it's time to upgrade that Samsung.

                          If they make S26 Pro larger like the rumors say, that would make me sad because even the Xiaomi 15 and iPhone 17 Pro are larger than base S25 is.

                          But I would get angry if they make it larger but don't upgrade the hardware MORE.

                          As for LG, I always had LG phones until they stopped making them, went from G8S to base S23, got base S25 now because cheap in my country and I need more RAM in a compact device.

                          LG G8S was amazing though, the only phone I ever had that had everything but good update support that I ever wanted in a phone.

                            This image is confirmed 100% to be AI slop by isgen dot ai, yet GSMarena keeps deleting everything pointing that out. Why is that?

                                  PepperPot, 08 Oct 2025I love the hypocrisy. Xiaomi copies Apple's name and ... moreOn a android phone discord forum there was a discussion about this picture, nobody even doubted it could be real or fake.

                                  "Yeah OneUI copies iOS a lot" said someone, multiple others nodded.

                                  One guy said "if you want to see real copy of iOS, check HyperOS 3.0".

                                  I did check that (was a video by a indian channel caleld Beebom, because no EU channel seems to cover it), and holy moly... copy paste is nothing compared to what HyoerOS 3.0 did.

                                  And you know what? I don't care, it looks good and that is what counts.

                                  Just like I don't care how iOS is doing all this glass stuff Windows Vista did 19 years ago, if it works it works.

                                  But that orange is ugly no matter if iPhone or Android....

                                    I love the hypocrisy. Xiaomi copies Apple's name and overall design which they've also done with Porsche and Ferrari so that is just their thing. I truly do not care, but everyone said "no, Xiaomi already had that camera design on the Mi11".

                                    Okay, Samsung had a Titanium Orange S24 Ultra so where does that leave us? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                                      Smasnug might as well put a pineapple or another fruit in the back. If i wanted an iPhone i'd buy one, i don't want this

                                        There are rumors that manufacturers will follow Sony's strategy of removing the USB cable from the box! It won't be long before your phone arrives wrapped in a plastic bag of exploding pellets.
