“Meanwhile, iOS features like crash detection have been credited with saving lives”
LOL god, that’s Apple marketing in full force.
Where’s your data to back that up?
I can testify for the crash detection. Three weeks ago I had a young lady traveling approximately 65mph in a 35mph zone hit my Jeep. The Jeep was totaled and I ended up tossed around as it rolled to its side. All airbags went off. I opened my eyes to find the Jeep with emergency flashers auto activated and my iPhone calling emergency services for me. Later that night as I was being checked out in an emergency room I remember clearly feeling a sigh of relief and thinking how confident I am now knowing all the advertisements on this were legit.A quick google search turns up multiple articles.

Apple Watch Crash Detection saves another life: mine
Of all the new products I've reviewed across 15 years of writing for AppleInsider, Apple Watch has certainly has made the most impact to me personally. A couple weeks ago it literally saved my life.appleinsider.com
This is Apple’s take on innovation. Features that don’t necessarily make for great tech demos or blog articles, but just work in the background. Rather than gimmicks that exist just for the sake of being first.
I know which one I would rather have.
I think to make it look different from the iPhone with its very rounded corners. Iit looks like it might be a bit uncomfortable in one's pocket (assuming you could fit it in a pocket) but I appreciate Samsung trying for some design differentiation.Why are the corners so pointy?
Really? Features copied form Google are Apple's take on innovation? That's a good one.This is Apple’s take on innovation.
They look ugly and Samsung camera quality is motLook terrible? They look like screens in cases once in a case, like every other phone in the world. 👀
Or do you mean their specs look terrible? That doesn't make sense either as they are clearly not budget crap, with more impressive camera tech than Apple offers.
(And no, I've never owned a Samsung phone and don't plan to at these prices)
1. Motorola actually has the first oled screenApple copied OLED displays from Samsung, Apple copied big phones from Samsung, Apple copied wireless charging from Samsung, Apple copied 4K video recording from Samsung (first available on Note 3), Apple copied the 48MP camera from Samsung, apple copied 5X Zoom camera form Samsung (because Samsung launched it first will the Note 20 Ultra) etc.
Samsung is the the one that popularized OLED and always used it on their flagships unlike Motorola so yeah you can say they copied Samsung, nobody thinks about Motorola when you say OLED.1. Motorola actually has the first oled screen
2. Palm actually first introduced wireless charging in their palm pre.
3. The dell streak came before the galaxy note meaning apple didn’t copy Samsung since Samsung was not the first phablet.
4. The Nokia 808 and the Nokia lumia 1020 actually are the two phones that created the megapixel war and offered things like raw support and many features that are common place today on Samsung and iPhones.
5. The lumia 1020 also had 6x zoom
The same can be said about Apple, easily.So Samsung was not first in most of anything
I wonder how much of the AI processing is done locally and how much is done on the cloud? Will that require a subscription in the future? It'll be expensive to offer...
Hard to judge if the camera is better than your 15 Pro Max or mine until it's tested. On paper it is clearly better...They look ugly and Samsung camera quality is mot
Better than my pro max.
Also add on the fact it’s android.

So they dig a hole in your pocket much faster… 😉
Competition is actually a great thing. Just because you have an iPhone doesn't mean you can't praise others for what they are doing.Why is this ugly thing on MacRumors? is Android Rumors not busy enough? I'm guessing Samsung cut a check. What does a Samsung phone have to do with a Mac and/or Apple related products?
Also many folks on here are liking there 2nd android phone over the iPhone but won’t Amit it 🤓🫣🫣Competition is actually a great thing. Just because you have an iPhone doesn't mean you can't praise others for what they are doing.
Many people on here have second phones and use Android.
Phone announced yesterday and it’s already on discount 😄
Seeing as it hasn’t been used by users in the real world that is up for debate.By most accounts this camera is in fact better than your iPhone Pro Max. Both are top of the heap so you don't need to take it personally. Next years iPhone 16 PM will likely outdo both as will the following Galaxy 25 Ultra. That's life.
I think the design is beautiful but to each their own.
It is powered by Android as you stated. That's a fact to which we can both agree.
You said it yourself specs are not the be allHard to judge if the camera is better than your 15 Pro Max or mine until it's tested. On paper it is clearly better...

Wireless charging was also present in Nokia phones in early 2010s the thing is, Samsung made it popular and widespread feature before Apple finally copied it.
I own a Nokia 808. It has a different sensor tech and it was 40MP not the 48 quad bayer popularized by Androids and adopted by Apple. Also Nokia only used the higher MP cameras on 2 models out of the countless they launched, they didn't really start any war.
The Lumia 1020 didn't have a dedicated Zoom camera so it's not comparable to the Note 20 Ultra, it used sensor crop to zoom.
The same can be said about Apple, easily.
For example Apple isn't the first to use Titanium for the phone frame although some of their fans act like Apple invented Titanium and they are the only one allowed to use it.
And my point was that Samsung was first in any of the things I mentioned.
So you're agreeing with me (we don't know if it's better or worse) and disagreeing with yourself ('its camera is worse than my 15 Pro Max') ?You said it yourself specs are not the be all
End all
Samsung Cameras have always been worse than my iPhone cameras, so i am saying I dont see this being better than my 15 Pm. I know you are itching for that gotcha but not today, mateSo you're agreeing with me (we don't know if it's better or worse) and disagreeing with yourself ('its camera is worse than my 15 Pro Max') ?
