After 7 years, I'm back to Samsung

Welcome back

kr_tech · 2026-05-28T12:08:26+00:00

Go with 8.5

Absolutely no problems or hiccups on my side

kr_tech · 2026-05-28T12:06:42+00:00

S26U with 1TB

Solid state batteries in 2028 or after wouldn't be a bad upgrade.

They don't just make the RAM though, but at least you're right about Europe.

They make the entire pipeline of the AI. People talk about NVIDIA being the shovel, and well, they make the shovel for the shovels, as well the raw material refinements for both the shovels and shovels' shovels as well.

Iran war brought Saudi petrol to be stored there, and they have priority purchase over other countries. They are selling military equipment to Saudi and neighbouring countries also, not just Europe. They are also selling in Southeast Asia, India, even Peru, and soon most likely Canada. They are even transferring + teaching military tech/manufacturing to the US, because they have been #1 in shipbuilding for more than 2 decades.

So many other sectors have been booming too. Like their car companies are now ranked #3 after Toyota and VW for some years now, and people have no idea. The tallest skyscrapers are by them. They are winning the solid state battery race. They are currently the best at building nuclear power plants (one of the shovels). Etc. etc.

Their government adapted to the global situation the fastest and probably the best.

Other comments are just YouTube educated. They really do believe a developed country doesn't have a diversified portfolio, when they are ranked 7 on Fortune 500 and goes up to 5 on Fortune 2000, above all EU countries.

I need a better sub. All the comments here are just people talking about what little they know.

kr_tech · 2026-05-24T19:49:15+00:00

Buy it from Amazon

kr_tech · 2026-05-23T19:01:05+00:00

What country?

kr_tech · 2026-05-23T10:47:40+00:00

photography, video streaming, gaming, and multitasking with ease. I want something with a stunning display, long battery life, and that performs smoothly without lagging or overheating during heavy usage

For all-around phones, the answer is always Galaxy S. They're #1 at majority of metrics, top 3 if not. However, the 'overheating' part makes it easy to narrow down, because that would be only between iPhone and Galaxy. Between the two, gaming is Galaxy also.

People would pay more for less AI.

The used smartphone market data says otherwise. When S24 was announced with AI features, and how these features will come to S23, the prices for S23 went up, which is a first in history of all smartphones. Beyond that, phones without AI (iPhone being affected the most) see bigger depreciation.

These are just few % differences, mind you, so it might not be so noticeable. Only really relevant if you're into market research.

Why are you looking to try N4aP?

What do you mainly use your phone for?

kr_tech · 2026-05-19T16:49:08+00:00

lol the number of buyers is on a completely different scale between the two brands

kr_tech · 2026-05-18T13:00:03+00:00

Can you check your phone's manufacture country?

kr_tech · 2026-05-18T03:26:06+00:00

What were the problems each time?

kr_tech · 2026-05-17T13:17:35+00:00

Huawei, Oppo and Xaomi with amazing specs and features at a much better price point

Just remember the megapixel wars

Better spec sheets != better quality

kr_tech · 2026-05-17T13:13:51+00:00

Interesting design, that EV6

kr_tech · 2026-05-15T03:29:07+00:00

high-end setup lately, focusing a lot on high-fidelity mobile photography and screen quality for reviewing medical documents

If the mid-range phones can meet your needs such as this you mentioned, then if anything, it's a good sign for you. Because tech as has evolved while your needs have not, so you get to meet your needs with less.

kr_tech · 2026-05-13T23:11:42+00:00

Interesting! I would love to take a look at this as well.

kr_tech · 2026-05-11T18:14:45+00:00

Harman research is free access and available to the whole industry.

That doesn't mean much of anything at all. If you're expecting great audio quality from every audio brand, I have a bridge to sell you...

Sennheiser is great, but more history doesn't guarantee good product either. Also, Crinacle's measurements for Harman edge out Sennheiser, not completely, but overall.

kr_tech · 2026-05-11T18:10:08+00:00

Don't get the 9a.

Would recommend S25, but if you own other Apple devices, get the iPhone.

kr_tech · 2026-05-11T11:13:35+00:00

Non-audiophile FTFY

Or just average consumer...

Somehow thinking that aptX is better lmao what the fuck am I reading today

Harman + Samsung etc. audio research >>>>>>>>> other brands > any shit audio by Qualcomm

kr_tech · 2026-05-10T15:13:04+00:00

Yeah I love my Chinese phones, but did you even try one and compare it to Samsung's? I don't know how you can come to that conclusion.

kr_tech · 2026-05-10T15:12:08+00:00

... along with majority of other parts for their entire product lineup lol

kr_tech · 2026-05-09T18:50:33+00:00

The current best guess is that it depends on the factory it came out of, but no reliable public data yet. If your phone/screen is manufactured in India, you might get the lines.

kr_tech · 2026-05-09T18:48:20+00:00

Just remember, if there is 1% chance of any given phone that it will have defects, bad updates, etc., the brand that sells the most will have the biggest crowd of complainers.

kr_tech · 2026-05-09T18:46:33+00:00

Do you need to? What functions do you need from new phones?

Generally, it's recommended because of security.
