FlagshipsSuck, 15 Feb 2023Lmao you are absolutely tilted. Yes the starting Xiaomi has... moreThere isn't even a 128GB version of the Galaxy S23 Ultra as it directly starts with 256GB so why do you embarass yourself with this ignorance? It's obvious you're just jealous because Samsung made the best phone on the market and it's better to the brands you love. Get over it!

Every single "argument" you had got debunked in this page. Stop ashaming yourself, at this point you're just the clown of GSMArena and everyone laughs at you. Keep barking, WOOF WOOF!!

Let's compare again the Samsung S23 Ultra (king of phones) with the Vivo X90 Pro Plus:

1. Vivo's 1080p 32mpx mediocre front facing camera vs Samsung's 4K HDR front facing camera, which it has half the megapixels but the quality is immensely superior.
2. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 coating on the S23 Ultra vs a fake cheap "leather" coating on the Vivo, without even mentioning how ugly it is with that sensor that occupies 1/3 of the back cover.
3. The Samsung has a far superior main camera, with 200mpx getting many more details, extremely superior video, extremely superior Dynamic Range, extremely superior exposure, superior night photography and overall color accuracy - the Vivo lacks so much in cameras.
4. Samsung has a proper RAW app that can let you even take astrophotography photos. The video stabilization is on another level. Vivo shakes so much like mid-range phones do.
5. Real x3 and x10 optical zoom, their telephoto lens CRUSH Vivo's mediocre 3.5x zoom.
6. Superior screen with much better calibration and 200 nits superior manual brightness.
7. Much superior sound both with the built-in internal speakers and external BT sound, Vivo allows just 24/192kHz sound, Samsung supports 32/384kHz real Hi-Res audio LOL
7. The Samsung can go up to 1TB of storage, their storage is as well faster.
8. The battery of the Samsung is quite better, having about 20-30% more SoT hours, for the Vivo you need a charger and a nearby plug if you want to use your phone all day long lmao.
9. Samsung's UI is so superior that it's not even worthy to compare them as Vivo gets ashamed, with that crappy Chinese UI, filled with bloatware, extremely late updates, bugs and lots of incompatibilities if you want to use it outside of China, like with Android Auto.
10. Samsung DeX and so many unique features Vivo can only dream about.
11. The ultrasonic fingerprint is actually better on Samsung, Vivo uses the older 2022 version
12. Samsung updates your phone (and fast) for 5 years, Vivo/BBK 2-3 years at most, and they arrive late, even European Oppo's got Android 13 like 3 months after the S23 Ultra lol.
13. Much better future price for the Samsung compared to the Vivo
14. UWB support for the Samsung, 0 for the Vivo
15. 3 sim support for the Samsung, including the modern eSIM = NO from Vivo
16. Superior performance, slightly better processor (clock speed) and faster memory
17. Armored aluminium frame, vs Vivo's cheap and chinese-specifical frame
18. S-Pen on Samsung which opens a new league of capabilities. 0 stylus on Vivo.
19. The Samsung can take extremely good Macro photos up to 1-2cm close to the subject, the Vivo loses it's AF and gets all blurred out if the subject is at 10cm or less. Shameful.
20. Much better build quality, internal quality and a proper QC unlike the Vivo.

And I can continue... Vivo can be okay competing with other inferior chinese brands like Xiaomi or Oppo, but they are so far behind Samsung and dude... trying to compare them just makes it laugheable, as we can use real life facts and specs to DEBUNK your shillings!!!

    FlagshipsSuck, 04 Feb 2023Listen to how you sound, like a child throwing a fit. You t... morePlease don't cry that much... let's make a real comparison with real specs and straight facts:

    1. Vivo's 1080p 32mpx mediocre front facing camera vs Samsung's 4K HDR front facing camera, which it has half the megapixels but the quality is immensely superior.
    2. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 coating on the S23 Ultra vs a fake cheap "leather" coating on the Vivo, without even mentioning how ugly it is with that sensor that occupies 1/3 of the back cover.

    Now please continue ranting because Samsung is much better than Vivo or any chinese brand.

                      Samsung should release new phones every 2 years, not yearly.,Then, the specs would get more upgraded, and then the high price could have been justified..

                        FlagshipsSuck, 15 Feb 2023and also wtf "rekt"??? Grow up. Us adults are dis... more- a lot of the time, pre-installed screen protectors are pretty flimsy - and most people like to put their own screen protector on anyway...

                        - Apple also stopped including chargers with the phones - and others will no doubt follow suit (...it's better for the planet or something 🤷‍♂️). But no-one spending £1400 on a new phone will have a problem spending £20-£25 on a new charger (if they don't already have one).

                        This just seems like nitpicking, sorry.

                          Kosova, 14 Feb 2023nothing can beat iphone 14 pro max also this looks same a... moreS23 ultra is more flat and boxie like note series. Sadly it's so "similar" that s22 cases won't fit on s23 haha.

                          Much better cpu, gpu than last year. Battery lasts as same as iphone 14 pro max even with bigger display, 2k resolution and being lighter.

                          Better speakers, better optimisations with animations, better auto brightness, better sim card signal, "usb pause delivery" feature....

                          Camera is more sharp, more natural looks than before. Both selfies and front cameras are looking fantastic. OIS 2x bigger than last year. You literally can walk down stairs and you video would be completely still. Night photos and videos especially improved a lot. And that's without a software updates.

                          Read s23 ultra xda forum. Many people are coming from iphone, s22 ultra and another devices. First thing they notice are perfomance, camera and amazing battery. If you still think it's the same sorry no one can help with you arrogant and childish attitude.

                          Btw LG V10 8 years ago did better "dead island" or whatever that the only "new feature" is called on iphone 14 pro max

With the files copied over from Smart Switch, they still have the original date, time, and location info. I just looked at the first pics and videos I took with my S22 last year. In February 2022.(when I went from my S21 to S22, I did not copy over any pics or videos from the S21)

                                One drive also has that same info. Although One drive shows the date and time the picture was taken. And also the date and time it was uploaded. As well as the location info where the pic/video was taken.

                                  Anonymous, 15 Feb 2023This would mean at least 120 MB/s. Did it transfer by wire ... moreI did it by wire with a USB-C to USB-C cable.

                                  My main cloud storage is One Drive. With 1TB that comes with Office 365. Then, I also have Google and Amazon storage. But only 100 or 150GB in each. I have the upload settings for each drive set to only upload when connected to wifi. So any time of day, as long as it's connected to a wifi network. Which is typically at work and at home.

                                    Do the files still have the original date and time attribute on the new phone, or has it been changed to the point in time when they were moved?

                                    On MicroSD cards, the original dates and clock times are preserved when inserting into a new device.
