Hello,
Nope, I’m actually in the EU!
Just want to point out a few things as well.
Sure, bugs happen—polishing takes time, especially during beta. But the excuse of “too many CPUs or devices” just doesn’t hold anymore. Windows had that problem too, but look at it now—stable, fast, and in some ways even outperforming macOS.
And let’s be real—Samsung isn’t some small player. They choose the chips, they control the hardware, and they sell millions of units. So there’s no excuse. They could pick components that are future-proof—not just build, sell, and forget.
Then there’s Linux, trying to run on everything under the sun. Instead of improving solid desktops like GNOME or KDE, we get more and more new distros and desktop environments promising endless customization—often at the cost of stability and total several users using it.
Bottom line: if you can build something great, go for it. But if you can’t, either contribute to what already exists or stick to what Pixels do.
When it comes to true innovation, let’s be honest from my point of view —Samsung only really stands out in one area: foldables.
CPUs? Since Apple Silicon dropped, Samsung’s chips just don’t compare.
Face recognition? Not even close. My old iPhone 13 Mini unlocks faster and more reliably than a $2,000 Fold 6.
Cameras? The Fold lineup? That’s just embarrassing. Maybe the S series is competitive, but Fold cameras feel like an afterthought.
Displays? Absolutely—Samsung owns this category. Their panels are beautiful, no debate but not like apple displays are bad!
Samsung nails the specs game—best displays, high refresh rates, foldable screens, insane zoom cameras, and futuristic form factors like the Z Fold series. On paper, they’re unbeatable, but:
Long-term updates are promised, but updates arrive late, even on flagship devices, Z fold seams still most expensive device but whats feeling it's not already outdated? and when 1 years old z fold 5 getting updates ? Whats about Z fold 4 ?, Iphone 15 and 14 not feels so outdated.
Samsung UI still feels bloated, with duplicate apps (Galaxy Store, Bixby, etc.) no one wants.
Face recognition is still inconsistent and insecure compared to iPhones.
There was a time I owned every Note model and genuinely thought Apple users were just looking at things through rose-tinted glasses.
But now? Nope—Samsung is the one doing that. From where I stand, they’ve already lost the game to Apple.
When you pay $200, you can overlook a few flaws.
But when you drop $2,000? Expectations change. This is where brand should hold reputation!
If this is how things start, I can only imagine what the next 7 years of “promised updates” will look like. Yikes.
