Has Apple ever used numbers to advertise features? A 108MP camera to Samsung would be a LiquidTastyVision Pro Camera to Apple. I don't know what kind of 'catching up' Apple would need to do, numbers-wise, in that case.
Well technically not the entire Galaxy range.They dropped it from their flagship Galaxy range. You know, the one that had such advertising. It’s funny how Samsung fanboys quickly forgot about it.
because users don't need a colorimeter. they need a camera.Why don’t we have phones with a 1 pixel sensor?
Oh.... well, if it indeed does work via switch, as you say- I suppose there’s a minor point to be made there.I think he means when it's on, it's on almost all the time.
Arguing that since it can be turned off (and off by default) that it's not "consistent" seems a bit cheeky, eh? Like if the phone comes muted, it's doesn't have consistent sound because you have to turn it on lol?

Yea it's insane that for the businesses that can still do 2yr, the freaking subsidized price is still a grand for some of the higher storage devices. Installments are just a scam to hide the real price behind a lower monthly amount. You can see the correlation between when installments started and phone prices rising.What is Samsung thinking with these prices? $1599? They need to bring back the $199/2yr contact days. Seriously!
I'd rather shun those computers with only HDDs. There's no way in heck I would ever get a computer without SSD anymore. At the very least I would want one with the tiny boot one. Rather wait like 5s for boot than 2m+ But yea there is still a need for a base level of storage. Was running low with 256. Now I have 512, so that should be plenty for a while.This comment isn't really directed at you, but I've always found it odd that people quote resale value when trying to decide which phone they're discussing if one phone is better than the other. All things being equal, it makes sense to have some concern about that, but it shouldn't be a key focus of how you evaluate which phone suits your needs better.
Looks like Samsung's bringing us back to the megapixel wars again in a big way. Total strangers are going to start walking up to you to start conversations by asking how many megapickles you have in your camera.
Next we will go back to judging computers based on storage. "Nice computer! How big is the hard drive?"
well no I only mentioned it due to who I was quoting. Not really a deal breaker for those who are on annual upgrades.This comment isn't really directed at you, but I've always found it odd that people quote resale value when trying to decide which phone they're discussing if one phone is better than the other.

STRONG, STRONG disagree here!I've always found it odd that people quote resale value when trying to decide which phone they're discussing if one phone is better than the other.

Right but 5G will pretty much be the new normal by the end of this year. 8K...not so muchNothing wrong with 8k. Just makes the phone more future proof...kinda like them (and Apple more than likely) including 5g in their phone.
4K content is still just trickling out, and you think 8K will be the norm in just five years?? Damn gimme a hit of whatever you're smokingSome of us do care about 8K video, but not in a smart phone. And it's likely to be "here" in 5 years and not 10.
Oh they absolutely have, yeah. I guess it's just the flagrant arrogance with which Samsung does their rip-offs that really bothers me. Like they're almost proud to copy others more than they innovate themselves.So what if it is a ripoff? If it does the same and costs me less as a consumer, I should be happy. Corporations have been ripping each other off forever. Don't be surprised if you look back in Apple history and see them doing the same.
In terms of looks? In every single way.
At the same price point, I'll choose the iPhone EVERY time.
But we have the ridiculous situation whereby Samsung get accused of ripping off Apple Airpods when Samsung released their first wireless IconX buds BEFORE Apple announced the AirPods. And the latest Galaxy Buds design is basically the same as that first IconX releaseOh they absolutely have, yeah.

Then pick any of the other hundred times Samsung has copied Apple. They both copy, Samsung just does it a lot more and is much worse at it lolBut we have the ridiculous situation whereby Samsung get accused of ripping off Apple Airpods when Samsung released their first wireless IconX buds BEFORE Apple announced the AirPods.

Absolutely and it does a lot less also.When it comes to built quality and the combination of the right materials you're certainly right. But come on, if you look at the front of the phone you have to admit that the hole-punch display is the more elegant solution compared to the notch - by far!
All Sasmung phones prior also came switched to 1080p by default, too. Even though they all have 1440p screens for quite a while now. It's the same idea. Why they do this? I don't know.Oh.... well, if it indeed does work via switch, as you say- I suppose there’s a minor point to be made there.
I assumed that you did NOT have to toggle it to on for it to ever even work once... that’s much worse than I had imagined.
I figured it defaulted to 60hz & only ramped up to 120hz when it felt it was appropriate.
According to you- it does work like that... but only after you go change it from the default “off” position- yet you feel that’s in some way better?
Lol- different strokes I suppose.
But, I personally would be suspect of the quality of a speaker on a phone that came muted (to borrow your example), or of screen tech that purposefully comes disabled (to use a bit of a more real world example).
Yeah, I am not sure why people have amnesia about the notch, and what it’s actually housing. Of course Samsung and others can get away with no notch, they don’t have nearly as sophisticated a facial recognition system. I’ll gladly take the completely functional notch and design of the iPhone.Absolutely and it does a lot less also.
I’m sure you see my pointbecause users don't need a colorimeter. they need a camera.
Nah I think it’s just the U.K. that Samsung are neglecting. They get a lot of free stuff in Asian countries too. Hell they give away TVs as pre order gifts in some Asian countries.I’m basing it on comparison sites and all major pieces to sell devices.
Resale value remains great on iPhones and trash on all android devices

In the US sure but the US isn’t the only country in the world..everywhere else it’s trash
They started doing it after the note 7 battery issue. I think they were being cautious initially about taxing the battery.All Sasmung phones prior also came switched to 1080p by default, too. Even though they all have 1440p screens for quite a while now. It's the same idea. Why they do this? I don't know.
Samsung have been doing this since the S8. I don’t think we can doubt the quality of Samsung’s OLED displays. Not only from Samsung’s own displays over the years but even Apple themselves have their displays manufactured by Samsung.Oh.... well, if it indeed does work via switch, as you say- I suppose there’s a minor point to be made there.

There’s obviously no other way to do it at present. Huawei and Google both have Face ID like facial recognition and they all have a notch.Yeah, I am not sure why people have amnesia about the notch, and what it’s actually housing.

It’s the same really. The phones cost more but they really worth more in a years time. I got £650 for both my X and Xs max a year after I got it. Last year for example. I has about £900 left to pay off on my Xs max. Sold my Xs max for £650 and then I only £250 left to pay it off and upgrade to the 11 pro max.I think the pricing problem is a vicious cycle (same with iPhone). Prices increase, so sales fall. Sales fall, so prices go up to keep profits where they were.
Back when phones were £6/700, it wasn't uncommon to see people upgrade every year. You could buy for £700, sell a year later for £350, and repeat. It's hard to justify doing that now given high prices are.
That ship has sailed for 2020. In fact it may have seemed Apple pushed Samsung to up their camera game.Good to have competition... and push Apple to up their camera game.
Well technically there is still time. It’s only been 5 months since the 11 pro launched and Samsung were able to up their game.That ship has sailed for 2020. In fact it may have seemed Apple pushed Samsung to up their camera game.
By copying the design of the iPhone? How does that work?Samsung continues to make the iPhone look utterly outdated.
Anyone that has criticism of the iPhone from a Samsung user is considered to be a fanboy?I don’t understand why this place is always such a Samsung fanboy gathering
