    1 question is, How many they get Android update after launched in 2023?
    This is important to us to guarantee handset for long life used.

          Samsung is the driving force of mobile.

          Your failed car analogy, like it is 1995 makes it clear you don't understand anything of what's going on in mobile today.

            When this phone is released, you can buy a Galaxy S23 Ultra for pretty much the same price. I wonder who in the right mind will buy it.

              weakest flashlight
              no notification LED
              screen has a history of breaking (the vertical line problem)
              no VRR
              screen stops working in the rain (Nexus 6P correctly registers touches even underwater)
              bigger bezels
              boring exterior colors, which doesn't matter because...
              probably still too slippery to use caseless
              still overheats according to at least two reviewers
              still flaky fingerprint according to some reviewers
              2/3 years of support (basically the worst)
              updates regularly lag Samsung/Google by several months
              night mode is still FAR too conservative (for indoor low-light or moonlight shots, you'll need RAW) and can't be explicitly selected in basic

                Anonymous, 03 Sep 2023Ah, if only the main cam had a 35 mm lens...ZTE is the only one that offers such focal length for the primary camera for now, you'd probably better wait for Z50S Ultra or Ultimate or whatever they will call that upcoming phone with a huge camera hump.

                  Maybe they should go all-in on the Exmor T sensor with digital zoom.

                  Have a large 48MP Exmor T sensor for 14mm ultrawide, 2x digital zoom for 28mm

                  have a second large 48MP Exmor T for a 35mm main cam, 2x digital zoom for 70mm.

                  If their phones are going to be this expensive, and feature "professional" photography, they should use 2 large sensors.

                    It doesn't mean the phone's no good for anyone else.

                                Concluding, it is too expensive to buy it, looks obsolite, ugly with corners, buggy software, dim display, low speaker volume.

                                        Regarding mainstream choices, not everyone wants to drive or likes a Toyota.
