Samsung is considered a brand and the normies automatically buys either their phones or Apple's, so it's not that their phones lag behind the competition, it's that they don't need to bother comparing their offers to the competition's.

Also, Samsung, can we please have more mainstream color options like the Onyx Black and Marble Grey from the S24? I'm not a fan of any of the A-series' color options this year.

Anonymous, 30 Jul 2024Right, from 2016-2018 Samsung sold the same entry-level pho... moreEven now I feel like competitors (besides Google) are still one step ahead of big 'ol Samsung, especially when it comes to phone designs.
The A55 has a really nice premium feel and build, but it's super thick, weighs like a brick at 213g, and has really huge bezels. Moreover, the metal frame has sharp edges that hurt your palms after prolonged usage if you don't put a case. It just doesn't feel very ergonomic and refined as other companies' offerings.
It definitely wouldn't hurt if they were to make next year's A56 have the same bezels and dimensions as the S24+ in the wake of the S25 lineup. Samsung just needs to come up with a new design feature to distinguish the A-series between the S-series so people wouldn't mistake their budget phones with their flagships. They did it this year by giving a small bump on the volume and power button area, dubbed "Key Island".

Samsung Watch6 Owner, 30 Jul 2024Competition, have you ever heard that word? China is puttin... moreNot bad? The Galaxy J6+ was about $190 US in my country back in 2018. Here's what you got for that price:
- Plastic body
- 720p LCD
- Quad-core Snapdragon 425
- 3GB RAM and 32GB memory
- Regular autofocus
- 8MP selfie camera
- Wi-Fi 4
- Bluetooth 4.2
- 3300mAh battery
- 5W charging
For comparison, here's what one of its competitors, the Redmi Note 6 Pro offered for $30 less at $160:
- Aluminum body
- 1080p LCD
- Octa-core Snapdragon 636
- 4GB RAM and 64GB memory
- Dual Pixel PDAF autofocus
- 20MP selfie camera
- Wi-Fi 5
- Bluetooth 5
- 4000mAh battery
- 10W charging
Granted, this was 2018, but even back then the J6+ was a total joke. Especially when the regular J6 had a better processor and AMOLED display for essentially the same price.

Chinese manufacturers are putting pressure on Samsung and Apple (but Apple doesn't really care that much - check this out https://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/mobile/north-america https://gs.statcounter.com/vendor-market-share/mobile/oceania). They have their loyal customers :)

I think competition makes price lower, J6+ that day was not a very bad decision, i mean specifications. 400 euros? In 2019 i bought A70 for 400 euros, so i don't think J6+ cost in all market the same price. Right now this phone cost about 200 euros.

Thanks to the Chinese, Samsung had no choice but to offer better entry-level phones from 2019 onward.

Remember the Galaxy J6+ back in 2018? That thing was pathetic and overpriced for what it offered.

You can tec... moreThank you, to tell you the truth, I know the situation (about working of game), but in past it was allowed to transfer data, so I thought nothing had changed. Especially as it shows on the phone that you can change the storage. My mistake, i'm a lot of time don't transferring data for reason which was mentioned another member. At all i have just few games, so 256 GB for me it's enough.

Samsung Watch6 Owner, 29 Jul 2024Since when? You can't really move app to microSD card. You can technically move part of the app but it's only very small part of the app that it's not worth it because it will affect performance. Most of data of the app is still in internal storage.

Samsung Watch6 Owner, 29 Jul 2024Check video from 2:40 min. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... moreNo pal, that tutorial only applies to files you can easily move from internal memory to SD card, like photos, videos, audio files, documents, and APK files. We're talking about apps and app data here.
Android used to allow you to move apps and their data from internal memory to storage, with an option named "Move to SD Card" under an app's info. That option has been disabled since several Android versions ago as phones now have much faster internal memory thanks to UFS technology. Besides, SD cards run a lot slower than internal memory, which will result in apps and games taking much longer to load if they were to be installed on an SD card.
Finally, you can't move system files to an SD card, which is not surprising.
