I would pay more for Samsung with stock Android. Well I would have in the past now I can just buy a Pixel.

#42Just like my Galaxy S10 Plus with 512gb (2019) feels identical to my new and expensive Sony Xperia 1 III (2021)
Galaxy S10e was the last Android smartphone, if it only wouldn't crack within first weeks I possessed it. Now only Android phablets exist.
I love my S10e but it's probably the last Android I own cause--to your point--everything else is just too big

#43I can't believe how bad Samsung has become. You pay them extra to avoid "Chinese brands" and you get ads everywhere, bloated devices with very bad performance. I'm still using a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition and even if it's slow, it still works pretty well. It has some stuff in it that I can't get rid off but overall is a great tablet. I've used countless Samsung devices ever since and I only see the quality going d…
Had now a cheap realme GT Master Edition, no Ads, no bloated device (every preinstalled external App could be removed), and it is fast, Snapdragon 778G Chip.
I don't like chinese brands, but Samsung & Co. did not deliver competetive devices in lower price-area.

#44They should call it the A51 because that thing looks like an alien with its 5 camera’s.
Does anyone else find this sort of flex ridiculous?

#45Day to day, anything past an iPhone 6s or 7 and phones pretty much feel the same speed. If you game or edit pics or anything else that needs a faster proc, sure, you'll notice not having the fastest phone. But if you email, reddit, HN, twitter, etc, you're really not going to notice much. Rumors are the iPhone 14 will have the same A15 and only the Pro will get the A16. I think you'll see a bunch of people freak out…
A great deal of the processor on phones and for people to upgrade aren’t necessarily the processor speed but a better ISP and also an accelerator to process pictures faster. The secondary reasons to buy a phone is getting a better camera and battery life / battery is nearing end of life. Then again I upgrade phones if they come out in green also. My last upgrade was for a 120hz screen refresh rate.
Add to the list being constantly out of disk space because of all the pictures and videos on whatsapp. It used to happen to people with 16 GB phones, the latest safe size is 64 GB now.

Does anyone know why their software is just so so bad? I have Samsung phones for testing and development work, and I don't understand why anyone would ever use these things. They're loaded down with so much half-assed knockoff shovelware of common services, some of which have ads, and nearly all of which keep issuing out useless notifications. It's like Samsung forgot that phones serve people, not the other way aroun…
I find their phones OK when new but I have a feeling at the 2 year mark they turn off software optimizations in an android update. I have no proof but the speed of the device degrades significantly. It goes from nice and fast to _adequate_ speed but not snappy smooth and always with irritating lag on some basic functions like keyboard. (my experience with flagship Galaxy S / Note series)
Sure enough, the current year model is blazingly fast with same apps installed, even when the specs are not very different... speed lasts until that 2 year mark comes.

I quit Samsung as soon as I started getting ads for Spotify on the music player on my Galaxy S5, and just started buying shenzhen chinese phones. I haven't seen an ad or piece of bloatware since. The quality is quite good, and the features often surpass most mid-range devices for about half the price. They're either stock android or very close to it.

#48Earlier quoted context omitted.
Based on what I've read it seems to me that the gap has become worth over the years... The last time I remember reading that the exynos was competitive was around the Galaxy S6 so 2015
The S6 was clearly much better Exynos than Snapdragon. They were competitive for a few years more after.
That was because the s6 exynos was to first mobile cpu with 14nm and the equivalent snapdragon (810) was a particularly bad SoC. To the point where it was outperformed by previous gen snapdragons. So yes Exynos was competitive then, but mostly because the competition had an exceptionally bad year.

Agreed. The problem is, the competition is worse... basically only with Samsung and Google you have the assurance that you'll get firmware updates for a reasonable amount of time, and Google's palette of devices is limited.

>reddit, [...] twitter Probably not the best examples because they have bloated webapps that are pretty slow/laggy.
