justasmile, 29 Jan 2024You can disable those ads.No, not quite right.

Even though there's is an option to disable those ads, but these options are separately placed in different menus, not always effective and sometimes they would say "ads will be disabled in 90 days". And that does not seem to work though. And in certain apps they can not be disabled at all.

We have poco m4 pro in family.

    Strawhat, 28 Jan 2024But but poco full of ads, one ui so much better without ads... moreYou can disable those ads.

      This feels like it's good enough to recommend to the typical casual phone user. Good screen, good battery life, multiple years of updates; that's a combination that's nowhere near a given for a price starting in 1, and it's probably the most important set of features for that market.

                77 mm width. It's just impossible to hold it one hand unless you are 2 meters tall.

                Also ancient CPU and therefore ultra slow eMMC memory and lack of WiFi 802.11ax. Samsung could easily do some modern budget SoC - something quad-core with modern and decent GPU, connectivity and other controllers.

                  Wait.. so you're saying this phone doesn't have Always on Display?? Then what's the point of a Super AMOLED display? Like, every modern phone having an OLED type display should support Always on Display...

                          justasmile, 27 Jan 2024Same for the entry-levels. Poco M6 Pro also gets 3 OS updat... moreFrom the review:

                          "The Galaxy A15 boots Android 14 with the latest One UI v.6.0. The phone is eligible for three major Android updates and an extra year of security patches via firmware upgrades."

                            Gsmarena A15 reviewer, I hate to be the one who post this but can you pls check your article on page 5.Camera section. It says the A15 has new addition of gyro-eis, unavailable in A24.

                            ---
                            Overall, you can tell that Samsung hasn't changed the camera much. One new addition to the mix is gyro-EIS - a nice little bonus to have and previously unavailable in the Galaxy A24.
                            ---

                            The article is misleading, pls correct.

                              No living soul wants to experience DeX on a Mediatek Helio G99 anyway.

                                The target market for this will probably never use DeX. Much like a huge number of their flagship buyers since all they do is social media. xD

                                    probably the microsd-gang will buy this in large quantities. and it has a 3.5 jack. it's like a lost treasure. this is it. the holy grail.

                                      Spanky, 27 Jan 2024What is Samsung’s obsession with this annoying 19.5:9 ratio... moreWhy is it annoying? Because you want to compute the aspect ratio from the pixel resolution and hope it will be a number you like?

                                      Do you have a usage scenario or an app that works only with 20:9 screens?
