magnaroader, 02 Sep 2024Pretty sure majority of the users on this website keep scre... moreyou're using this website and have an account. You're firmly outside of the average person category and in the enthusiast/techie category. The majority of users here are the same. The majority of people here either give an opinion about a phone they like but can't buy or they give their opinion about phones they hate.
You don't understand how simple an average person's mind is. You haven't talked with many people or you don't understand herd mindset that much so let me explain. Most people like to do things that most people do, for example when buying a phone what do people think of first? They think of what brands to choose and they either choose Apple or Samsung as their first choice since they have the majority of sales. Xiaomi has been a strong contender in the budget/midrange section since the Redmi Note 5 Pro. Slightly more knowledgeable people care about Oneplus or Google at best, but nothing much outside of these.
An average person is going to buy an iPhone or a Samsung for not only the fact that others use it but because of the perceived value, you might deny you do it and i'll agree that you don't but for most people this is a power play, a sign of worth. That's why most people buy the most expensive iPhones and Galaxy phones the most. the rest sell less. People either mostly like Samsung and hate Apple or like Apple and hate Samsung.
For an example of this look at the numerous youtube videos on Apple and Samsung phones. The main comparison is between them and not let's say Vivo or Oppo. Oneplus comes up from time to time due to their global reach but that's it. Youtubers cater to the masses, by reviewing phones from the top 2 brands like that they get more views. See how many views an Apple or Samsung phone review gets and how many a Vivo phone review gets.
Another example can be seen in the gsmarena "hits" section and the "favorite" section, see how many people research a Vivo, Oppo or Oneplus phone compared to Samsung/Apple.
When an average person is looking for a midranger they look for something that someone close to them has recommended, they look at the design or ask the salesperson at the shop. I've spent some time around people to know what their spending habits are and I've concluded all this based on all the people around me and the ones I've seen online. A relative got the iPhone 15 Plus instead of a 15 Pro/Pro Max just because they didn't like how the triple cameras looked. They don't care about 60 hz even.
I'm not denying your desire to want a flat screen, I'm saying an average person doesn't really care about it unless they're biased towards curved screens as being more premium (which most people still do think).

Anonymous, 01 Sep 2024It's also why I don't recommend Galaxy A55. 19.5:... moreI don't think the A55 is uncomfortable but it isn't comfortable either. But yeah 20:9 would've been perfect for that phone!
And yes I agree Samsung are trying too hard to copy Apple now.

BillyOcean, 01 Sep 2024It's hilarious when I read about 5 years of updates. A... moreI do use my phones for couple of years. Usually change the battery 1 or 2 times. Don't see why I should upgrade every 12-18 months when everything is fine with my phone. Although I'm interested in technological and software development (computer engineering was part of my studies), I don't feel the need to own the newest device. I check reviews, read articles, watch videos and sometimes visit tech stores. 2 years ago I got a Samsung galaxy Fold as a birthday gift. Had it just for 24h then returned it since I didn't need a new phone.
