DrakeX, 04 Apr 2019How odd, the battery life doesn't seem as good as what you'... moreGSMARENA's battery tests is quite subjective. In real life, we are not going to use the phone the way GSMARENA use for battery tests.

          Walter C.

Indian customers always want to pay less and Xiaomi is first cause of that. Huawei is popular everywhere. They have strategy now,but must cut their prices, people doesn't want to overpaid Samsung,and that is a fact

            With 5000 mah battery web browsing and video watching time is not satisfactory.. even 3000mah battery does better job than this crap..

                How odd, the battery life doesn't seem as good as what you'd expect from a 5000mAh phone in the review although based on what I watch on Youtube, it seemed to outclass all the midrange phones in the battery department.

                  AnonD-816568, 04 Apr 2019Beat Redmi Note 7 in what from what i can see from the revi... moreI guess you got a little triggered when I said "beat" there, what I meant specifically is that the M20 has a *slight* advantage in SOME aspects compared to RN7. According to the review:

                  Video in good lighting conditions - You can see that M20 has better detail than RN7, but worse than G7 Power
                  Camera types- Has an ultrawide camera over a depth sensor, which even the reviewers admit is a rare feature for budget phones
                  Others - Dedicated card slot, higher STB ratio, Dolby Atmos, shorter, narrower but thicker build and no ads(don't argue about this)

                  Now, I know what you're thinking: Who cares about these features, etc. But these are still slight advantages, showing that for some reason, RN7 isn't the king of EVERYTHING, like everything everything. That's pretty much the point of criticism

                  Glossary/dictionary for delinquents:
                  Aspect - One VERY specific thing
                  Criticism - Seeing anything, be it big or small, is bad in the making or judging of something
                  Some - Two or more, not an infinite amount
                  Advantage - Used when something has better a point than another, not all of them
                  Everything - Every frickin' thing

                    Alex 94, 03 Apr 2019Samsung fail again.Why? Cause they rise their prices.They a... moreNot bad points, but counterpoint, how do you expect a company to fall just because their worst phones are also ones that are under $200?

                      Jun1250, 03 Apr 2019I kinda agree and disagree. They've made a remarkable recov... moreAh, don't worry. The sales are the real signs of what they have to do anyways

                        Whackcar, 03 Apr 2019As expected, it fails to deliver the insane bang for the bu... moreI would say that's a bit too harsh dude. Granted, it's not insane bang for buck, but it manages to have a few edges. For phones under $200, only Xiaomi and Realme can do it through such low margins. Enter above 200, and Samsung's new offerings actually compete quite well

                            What's the matter with Samsung?? Huawei or Honor and some others manage to release even their budget phones on Android Pie yet Samsung continues to use Oreo. And basic features like ambient light sensors and other crappy specs. Samsung has no idea how to make a decent midrange or budget phone

                              Whackcar, 03 Apr 2019As expected, it fails to deliver the insane bang for the bu... moreI kinda agree and disagree. They've made a remarkable recovery from their "J-series greed" and this is still comparable to most of the competition. Heck, in some aspects from the review this beat the Redmi Note 7, which is quite an interesting feat for any brand

                              Although, I personally hate Samsung for their maliciousness last year and would recommend other brands anytime in real life. In fact, I think more complaints and rants would make them push harder for better offerings, so no, don't stop criticizing them please :D

                                  Wayne, 03 Apr 2019Rubbish UI, worse build and camera and ads tho...Worse build? Are you sure? Watch some videos about m20's durabilty test you'll be shoked
                                  I won't say anything about UI coz it's subjective

                                    Samsung fail again.Why? Cause they rise their prices.They always want to earn some cash.That is normal,but not in their situation.They losing market share in every country,but are still greedy. They easy can finish like Lg,HTC or Sony. And u now what? They deserve that. It's not Apple with independent ecosystem,Chinese makers will control Android smartphone for sure.

                                      Snoop dogg, 03 Apr 2019Redmi note 7 for the win.Chinese crap vs Premium brand and you choose the crap?

                                        5000 mAh battery, yet worse battery life than Honor View 20, which is 4000mAh and has larger display.
