Definitely the Samsung's will sell better for these 3 main reason and in order:
1. Wider international carrier support for contractural deals to end consumers:
- cheaper for anyone in UK, Asia, Europe, North & South America to get a Samsung of any kind at the BEST and lowest price. Which keeps dropping throughout the carrier deal life-span. Also THE highest price for trade-ins accepted for the previous year's model: nobody comes close!
2. Warranty coverage: Original people went to Samsung earlier on because they know so many of a smartphone parts THEY make and sell to the competition - least cost for Samsung to repair, least likely to go out of business some 14yrs ago. Now warranty coverage keeps them KING (along with design partnership/collaborations for uniqueness: Thom Browne one example that we missed on the version 4).
3. Brand name recognition. Since they've established what you know you're getting most users on Android ARE Samsung users and will stick to what they know and enjoy and ease of use.

I sincerely hope all the UI developers with custom clean and visually appealing ROMs create some really sweet UI's that are super fast an support all the mid-to-top tier software expected for other bar AndroidOS phones! no more have stepping and being slaves to limited vision of employee drones working for their employer bowing down.

kevvv, 08 May 2023Meanwhile fruit fanboys: "wE dOn'T nEeD fLiP pHoN... moreExactly ... we don't. Not the first 3 generations but they're starting to improve both in hinge and soon optimal and on par IP68 rating.
Motorola created the category for Android phones to be flip. The also created the category for clamshell (what we now call flip) phones with the StarTAC way back! (many of you probably weren't even born to see exclusive sales pitch during international auto show weekend in key cities priced at over $2000 in the mid-late 80's when phones themselves barely were used beyond real playboys and executives where the phone cost just $400 but a 2 mins local call cost you $10. Nationwide call for 2min - $30 and internationally (with no limits just keep on talking and keep on billing; that's right talking no 2900baud data - ??'s don't worry lol) would have you paying your yearly bonus to pay it off!
The achilles heel will ALWAYS be the folding bendable screen!
- initially it was the crease and Motorola solved that issue using tear-shaped bend. Oppo improved that, now Samsung is learning.
- Next was longevity of folds from lower and higher temperatures that Oppo raised the bare on: 400,000 folds, 200,000 buttons mashed, and surviving 1.5 meter drops more than 30 times.
Opposition figured out the proper orientation for outer display means developers can pretty much shrink their apps to fit the dimensions, yet considering the larger Razr+/40 Ultra and soon Flip 5 wide-outer screen I don't think Oppo's orientation can remain relevant. UNLESS the top end cameras stay on the hinge facing outward when open/closed? Hmmm.
now you begin to see the issues with ever improving this flip design very closing reaching its peak: to the point were only fashion will determine who's king.
Rollable's are THE future - better protection on the screen when a bit more active lifestyle - not just for the upper echelon with deep pockets and connections. Soon it'll really be AR glasses and a high powered long lasting watch - 14yrs from now that's all you'll see - with true wireless headsets.

Anonymous, 03 Jun 2023The thing that annoys me the most with Samsung about all th... moreWell if you don't agree ... compare the competition and show us where the larger sensor's have proven BETTER quality camera's and video not just the size of the capture being done.
Think of it this way: Car Internal combustable engines.
There are at least 4 standards: typical 4-stroke, 2-stroke, Wankel, and Miller-cycle. All combust standard gasoline in slightly different ways giving the engine different characteristics and by the design of the total car different results.
Standard 4 -stroke is ubiquitous and has continually and steadily evolved increasingly getting better fuel mileage every 2 decades - despite 4x since 1920's that they'd be extentinct due to poor fuel mileage and high cost at the pumps (inflation or not).
Miller - I have no clue only 1 car ever made it to production and was cut in 4yrs by Mazda. (Wankel engines Mazda is the only one with global license to build them).
Wankel gave hi-RPM's, high horse-power, low torque, and at 1.2/1.3L displacement is THE smallest in a production car. Faults: burned engine oil excessively (it was a crisis all on its own) and terrible fuel efficiency. The latter in the 1980s and 1990's was solved by Mazda using a Turbo-charger (1) and Sequantial Dual Turbo - but due to the design of it's engine seals and high RPMs engine oil burning was an issue yet to be resolved. Benefits: it allowed Mazda ability to have super light road cars for international races ... but
59th 24 Hours of Le Mans: Mazda was not the favourite to win, but the three Mazdas started 19th (No. 55), 23rd (No. 18) and 30th (No. 56), despite being the 12th, 17th and 24th fastest qualifiers respectively. At the last pit-stop, Herbert asked to stay in the car, and went on to take the 787B across the finish line first, completing 362 laps and covering 4,932.2 km (both new records for the recently modified circuit). The two other cars finished sixth (No. 18) and eighth (No. 56). The winning car ran without a hitch apart from a blown headlamp bulb and a precautionary rear wheel bearing change on the driver's side of the car, when a regular check during a pit-stop showed it to be overheating slightly.
Why the analogy? To show you unoquivacally that what is newer does NOT always equate to what is better! Megapixels ALONE in camera's is not everything ... the glass lens and the coating make for a MUCH more important factor as well as software evolved using the same older components.
This is the way.

The thing that annoys me the most with Samsung about all this new foldable phones is they make and then put low megapixels on it . How would a high phone as this have a 12 12 mp and one 10mp . It's absolutely nonsense . Minimum requirements should be 16 16 mp rear or a single 32 or single 48 while the selfie should be nothing less than 16mp. And battery should not be less than 4500mah. Sam and Sung should wake up

Love the smartphone it's extraordinary, beautiful design, compact and fashionable. But
1)Battery capacity is poor should be atleast minimum 4000mah.
2)Camera 📷 should be atleast above 50 megapixel for this price.
3)Folding Smartphones are new in the smartphone industry and developing technology in the Smartphone Industry also.
4)Too expensive, costly, pricey.

Many phones like LG for example are long time past last update and still perfectly working becuase of agood hardware.
Your so called customization and skins is just bloatware.
Even on Motorola phone you can instal that garbage noone will stops you from that.
But as human body cant move properly with excessive fat same means for a phone.
UI is nothing but an excessive fat like having 100+400 or even more apps in one device.

... moreAnd the stock android of Motorola would restrict you from a lot of customization which makes it very boring. Id rather have bloatware to remove than have no customization.
And if hardware doesn't matter then at least make the software area better, which Samsung did.

If for same price will buy real camera it will outbeat any phone on the market.
And Samsung software apart updates have nothing to offer. Bloatware is nothing but pointless garbage and burden to a phone.
Motorola is pure android experience in will outbeat Samsung by many miles like nothing.
Samsung cant compete.
By the way for what sake Samsung giving 4 OS updates and 5 years of security if their phones last only as long as warranty thus 2 years case of so called budget phones with price up to 300.
Midrangers will last maybe 3 years and then they will be useless because of samsung updates and bloatware.
Samsung UI cost like 10GB disk space and 4GB ram. Phone with no free RAM for apps games and many else is nothing just a garbage and a bloatware.
Even motorola with just 4GB ram outpreforms samsung phones with 8GB ram.

Seriously with these small batteries on 6.7 inch screens. You know why these phones are novelties and my z flip 4 sits on my shelf as i use my s23+ its the battery samsung. I dont care if it weighs more 4300 or larger if you really wanna get into the game. Idc how much they tweek the processor a big bright screen chugs battery. They seem to never listen to there customers and im getting over it fast. Apple and samsung are like the same stuff anymore. P.s. offer trade in deals that are not a slap in the face and devalue your last year models as well to nothing on the market.
