Even if apple slapped a Canon R5 camera at the back of their phones, I’d still get an android phone due to their horrendous regulations, I like having no adds on youtube, I like having access to third party black market apps, I like having the freedom to install whatever theme and rom i deem best for me, and i like having 2nd best camera in the world because of that.

Because you are a blatant samsung glazer who knows nothing about tech. People with proper mind will choose iPhone or pixel over Samsung

My S24 Ultra is amazing! I’m biased towards Android (specifically since the Note 3), but it really does so everything! (Minus an IR Blaster🤦🏽♂️)

What kind of self respecting woman covers her appearance because men can’t control theirselves? Religion is so toxic.

Samsung phones are almost as expensive or even more expensive than Google Pixel phones with both offering more or less the same hardware and functionality. If you are on the Android platform, it can become confusing between Google/Android’s Terms of Service, Privacy, Payment apps, vs. the same for Samsung’s, not knowing which supersedes which.
In the U.S., for the same price, it’s better to opt for a Google Pixel phone and remain within the American ecosystem and buy American.

Camera, haptics, speakers, software, AI features, build quality, refinement is better on Pixels.
Samsung is better for Samsung fanboys

I’ve told people for a while that Sumsungs high end phones take spectacular scenery shots but that it did not actually look like that. So, you end up with a false interpretation.

“Pop” means inaccurate colours as you know. You are promoting image that did not exist in the first place.

Sell that kidney and get the iPhone man, no need to argue lool she didn’t even try to influence ur choice. I felt put some facts out there and that word “pop” popped on you lool people see/like different intensity of colours. We are not cows who only see black and white, that’s why James and Joe can see that garden detail in different ways. I’ve the iPhone 16 pro max but it retired my Laptop.

16 pro max destroys the s24U camera. S24U struggles even in simple bright sunlight, over exposed highlights
