Also: since every phone is produced in china with chinese hardware components (same counts for any tech you are using btw) shouldnt your concerns go farther than just phones? But ye, America did great making us believe china is worse than america - that said, Im european and been spied on by america for tens of years now....this world is bad in whole, not just some countries.

    I was thinking of getting a Samsung precisely because of concerns over privacy moving me away from Chinese phones (especially Huawei ones like the Honor 9 I have now) and their OLEDs. So seeing the IronSource bloatware on the UI (I've only ever seen it before in games, and frankly less obtrusively than this!) is making me really shaky about my next purchase. Is this affecting the non-s models as well? I know the A50s launched in India and that market tends to get the worst of these practices.

        What a disappointment. Did Samsung manage to make a phone that performs worse than its predecessor despite having better hardware? How?

                    Sluggish performance

                    Too much pre-installed bloatware

                    Poor loudspeaker quality

                    Poor camera performance

                      #Too much pre-installed bloatware

                      Huh? I heard one ui is clean unlike chinese ui, is it no longer valid?

                          Looks like they added NFC.

                            Huh lag on PUBG? That processor is more or less SD 636 and I've been using Asus ZMP M1 to play with no lag whatsoever. Weak Gpu perhaps or lack of optimization?

                                Where are the oversharpening haloes? I viewed the photos at 100% and don't see them. Even if they are present, they are very very minor. Did you look at the photos? And I won't count corner softness as due to noise reduction. It is because the lens is not that good.

                                  PartTimePhoner, 01 Oct 2019Y'all gon need a case to prevent glass-back from shattering... moreIn any kind of phone, regardless of branding, the ones with at least metal frame should be better than full plastic build. Any phone with metallic frame with similar price to this phone should be better in heat dissipation. Samsung already has the upper-hand, they produce the AMOLED, camera modules, SoC, even the DRAM and storage NAND. They've already made huge discount on those but they couldn't even make the phone's frame to metal. They could do it, (remember the J-series?) but they don't, mainly because they prefer more profit (well who doesn't?). This phone is excellent only if you disregard all of the competition.

                                    mi 9t from xiaomi is still far better than this. with same price. Shame Samsung.

                                      i dont like plastic body.

                                        Wow it's great. It's also have nfc and it's not expensive.
                                        Great job, samsung.
