atichko, 12 Jan 2024So tiering... No I used the word "apparently" and... moreMost people don't "love" or "hate" a brand just for the sake of it. But many people are happy or upset with decisions made by brands that affect their buying options.

Anonymous, 12 Jan 2024So I understand you as saying the following: 1) Only India... moreSo tiering... No I used the word "apparently" and "don't know why" or "for some reason" India gets larger batteries while the rest gets smaller units. And I'm not an advocate for Samsung either nor am I a fanboy nor a hater. The have good things and bad things, just as all other brands. They make good and bad decisions, just as all others. These claims are always something personal, according to your own tastes and expectations. I have had good Samsung devices and also (very) bad ones just as with Xiaomi, Oppo, OnePlus, Apple and sadly also with Nokia (although HMD was never going to be the Nokia of old and even that brand had many, many rubbish devices)
Although I do like a pretzel from time to time (if I can find one where I live) my brains are functioning fine with a broad view on the world and open to things, opinions...
If you so much hate the policy of this brand, why do you invest time in posting things?
It seems yours has an issue reading what is being said but ok that can happen.
Maybe you understand it now instead of thinking that I'm trying to defend a brand or policy? If not, get in touch with them and ask them why they do things as they are doing. Good luck.

atichko, 11 Jan 2024Again complete besides the question but hey, go one. You�... moreSo I understand you as saying the following:
1) Only India likes 6000mAh or 7000mAh batteries. Everyone else likes smaller batteries that don't last as long.
2) Paradoxically, everyone still believes "bigger is better". But only up to 5000mAh.

#1 on its own makes not the slightest bit of sense. With #2 it becomes crazy upon crazy.

You don't need to twist your mind into a pretzel to jusify Samsung's decisions, many of which are simply erratic and contain no wisdom behind them. There are many examples that illustrate this.

atichko, 11 Jan 2024Again complete besides the question but hey, go one. You�... moreSo this cult of "bigger is better" only applies to 5000mAh batteries, but not the even better 6000 or 7000? Sorry, doesn't add up.

As for the definition of "compact" that you mentioned, I assume many people would be very happy if a new "compact budget" phone is produced with a midrange chip and the dimensions of the S23.

6.5 is big, 5000 mAh is big... Not the biggest but big and not compact at all. So yes, according to almost all manufacturers bigger is better, at least to them. And again, some markets like India want or need bigger batteries such as the 6000 and 7000 mAh units. Don't know why but it's like that while the rest gets a similar device with "only" 5000" mAh or less.

Anonymous, 11 Jan 2024And just like there's supposedly "no market"... moreI clearly don't think like that. I'm one of these forgotten people who crave for true compact phones, especially affordable ones and thus not only these premium bullshit ones that are overprized. You would have seen that if you would have read all my posts. I'm not preaching against compact phones, on the contrary, I want them. And again, what I posted is a reflection of someone on YouTube who explained the "why" in a language that makes sense. It isn't the bible but some of the people reacting in these posts do think that what is written is the truth and nothing but the truth, which it isn't of course. It's nothing more that a possible explanation for the "why" and it makes sense to me. I found back the link to that YouTube post: https://youtu.be/yKe1H5cIVDk?si=PZ2hPecm8shUHXNz. Check it out if you want.

The "why" is their secret and again what I posted is a reflection of a YouTuber which made sense to me about the "why". By the S version I presume you mean the vanilla S23 and that one isn't a real compact phone. Those are the in between form factors. Bij compact I mean everything "below" 6 to 6.1 inch screens like the iPhone 12 and 13 mini and the Zenfone 9/10.

atichko, 10 Jan 2024Today, sadly, bigger is better, at least according to most ... more- A54: 6.4 display, 5000mAh battery, available (almost) everywhere
- M54: 6.7 display, 6000mAh battery, not available in most places

- A14: 6.6 display, 5000mAh battery, available (almost) everywhere
- F/M14: 6.6 display, 6000mAh battery, not available in most places

- M51/M62/F62: 6.7 display, 7000mAh battery, not available in most places, such phones not produced since 2021

So, is Samsung and its customers really so into this "bigger battery and display over eveeything else" nonsense?

Seems like the answer is "No".

Obviously, a smaller phone with a smaller display and battery is CHEAPER than a similar phone that has a bigger display and battery. The same would apply to a device with a midrange or low-end chipset.

I hope you don't really think like that, because it's quite nonsensical.

Does the compact S23 have everything "crammed" into it too? it's $200 cheaper than the bigger plus model, you know. Seems like a very good arrangement that be done for a device with a budget chipset as well.

Anonymous, 09 Jan 2024So interesting to see people droning on and on about bigger... moreToday, sadly, bigger is better, at least according to most of all phone makers. Some markets do indeed need/want even bigger batteries such as a 6000mAh unit for some reason but I don't know why (I had one as one of the rare Samsung units available in the Netherlands and Belgium a few years ago but the supposed increased performance of the latter wasn't in line with the claims meaning not really useful). The discussion isn't really about battery size either but more about the complete form factor. One of the trade-offs mentioned by a YouTuber regarding some of the reasons why there aren't that many compact devices (almost none) was indeed the battery but it went much further with things such as the need to create a complete line of smaller screens, having to cram all the tech available for bigger units in a small space without having to compromise so much that it would be unacceptable for potential buyers (which to mee would not be an issue for budget and lower midrange devices but hey, who am I) and stuff like that. A small battery is for sure a potential setback when you want to buy a phone but that isn't the only thing. Sometimes the issue of not having small devices might also be due to us, customers, not wanting tradeoffs, thus wanting the same as in bigger slabs. All of this doesn't matter as companies such as Samsung and many others, Apple included, just don't want to make real compact phones and certainly not in the budget or lower midrange segment for whatever real reasons they might have (probably money and profit) leaving people like me and you and the others in this conversation without offerings except for some rare (and most of the time rather expensive) exceptions.

Then someone asks why Samsung’s 6000mAh phones aren’t available in many or most countries if that’s the batteries that everyone is supposedly clamoring for.

Suddenly, silence and cricket sounds… The genius preachers became mute.

Only the Plus and Pro Max models are bigger. Add to that the SE model every other year. That's more than half of their (limited amount of) phones that are compact.

Samsung on the other hand produces one small S phone each year, and that's it. And the total amount of models they produce is much higher than Apple.

Anonymous, 08 Jan 2024Those "not worthy" customers are in good company.... moreTrue. Again it's not only Sammy that does this, they all do that and Apple is leading the pack. Unfair? Yes. Reality? Indeed and it's not going to change any time soon unless people would stop buying these monstrous slabs (ok, they also have advantages but on an other level and if you are prepared to use both hands...always) or if there would be a global conflict where people would have other things to worry than silly things like size and colours of smartphones. Till then you and me (and all others craving for compact devices) can only have what tere is and I'm not happy about that but I'm not going to cry about it in a corner in fetal position either. Currently I use an iPhone 13 mini because the price became somewhat reasonable (although I kind of hate Apple because of their "all into profit" marketing at exuberant proces and somehow crappy products for the money) it is a true pleasure to handle it with one hand for most of the actions, even the battery holds better than I thought (for now at least as it still is 100%). I forgot only one thing, my eyes... Using it without glaces is simply not possible and that would be the same for any other compact phone, even if character settings are put to the max. Oh well, it's doable.
