I find Galaxy Unpacked to be an odd name. You unpack a bag. You unpack a loaded statement. You do not unpack a galaxy. Galaxy unboxed might make more sense. Or even Galaxy Explored. I know this is only barely relevant to the post, but it just irks me.
As a Samsung user, if it's not an event about a foldable, I don't care anymore. Waiting for a the fall event. Slabs phones are just so lame to me now. 
I’m fine with Android. I have had seven Android phones in the past and enjoyed them and actually prefer them, I just switched to iPhones for awhile for something different.
the 13 pro being a regression compared to the 12 , that says sth
please Apple gods; give me an integrated stylus in the largest iPhone so I can kiss this galaxy goodbye.
otherwise I will be forced to keep buying samsung note-like phones.....

Read an article 3 and 4 were August so most like 5 will be Aug 23. Don't know much about Samsung annoucements though
200mp.😍 I can't wait to take a picture of the night sky where half the stars are sensor noise.😑😑😑
When Samsung started using 50 (and then 100?) MP and iPhones had 12MP the fans were joking about Samsung too. Supposedly it was only pixel size that mattered. Then Apple followed Samsung. But it's not just about the camera. The same story repeated itself with screen size and resolution, battery size, RAM size.
I always buy iPhones, and I always will, but the iPhone X was the epitome of iPhone design, and they’ve gotten worse since, by moronically going to unergonomic square edges, and moving to matte glass (far more slippery).
When you look at a Samsung device though, the face looks far more futuristic than Apple, with much smaller bezels and retaining the curved edges to an extent. Moreover, the hole punch is astronomically superior to the Dynamic Island which is just a distracting gimmick.
Luckily the Dynamic Island will go away eventually, as apple finally transitions away from the cutouts. The Face ID tech can move under the display and the camera can rest under a display cutout that magnetically moves out of the way and then falls back into place when the camera is activated/deactivated.
Samsung’s look far more futuristic on the front. Simple as that. I own iPhones and always have.
I actually think the green bubbles look better than blue. I wish iOS let you customize the colors.

I really liked the ZF3, but the Note series is more suitable for my use case currently. I'm really hoping Sammy does it significantly better with ZF5 ( s-pen with built in silo, outer screen s-pen enabled, dust resistance, larger battery or better optimized at least, further diminished crease ) and I'll def. get it again!
If they give some excellent iPhone trade-in values which they usually don't I would love to be on Android I hate typing on an iPhone and that dumb cursor.
I'm so excited to see what features they'll copy this time; the Bixby Island feature on the selfie camera's cutout is sure to be a hit!
That just isn't true.
You may be finding the algorithms are ovelry aggressive.
Switch to raw.
You’re right
The sensors themselves aren’t worse , but the over sharpening is badshit crazy
Raw takes a heck lotta space, but I’m very curious about this apple pro raw
You can’t have hdr with raw can you?
Don’t see an option the camera itself or Settings > Camera to turn HDR off or on.
I only find it in Photos for viewing.
Not totally positive but I think SmartHDR is always on unless you are shooting true RAW.
Reason I use Halide - better control.
Pro raw in the main app can take up to 100MB but if you edit it in lightroom it can take up anywhere from 5-20mb so not alot.
pro raw you can really make things as you want. The results can be stunning if you are into photography it's worth using. That way you are using the sensors and not apple's processing.
