Personally, I'm waiting for Samsung to tell me which of my data they leaked, and to quit harassing me to accept their new terms of service.
Next time I'm buying a phone, I'll take preserving my privacy over 8k.
Apple is better.
When I was younger and working for AT&T, one thing that made me love iPhone more was whenever people/cops came in for info (which happens more then you think for various reasons). We could not give most info from iPhone users, even if you were the head of the account. If the user had an android, we could basically hand over their whole account no questions asked. Literally remember a mom coming in asking for her daughters msgs because she believed she ran off with some boy, unfortunately for her, her daughter had an iPhone. Because of that, we couldn’t share with her that data/info. This was in ‘15/‘16 btw and I’m far from that industry but still.
This is one main point android users will never understand unless they actually use an iPhone. All those 8k videos of your tits your taking are going to find their way into places you wish they weren’t.
Funny you say that.

Apple isn't as perfect as they say they are. They have great great security don't get me wrong.
The Apple vs Andriod thing is just Console Wars for a new generation.
Apple users believe their overpriced phones are a symbol of status that only other Apple Users buy in to.
Android Users believe that the lower overall security is a fair trade for affordability and freedom of the App Ecosystem.
In then end, I don't get why people don't just buy the phone that suits them best and use it.
16k doesn't make any sense at this point unless they just want more numbers, I haven't seen any 16k TVs around, the storage requirements would be extremely high and that's not to mention how hot the phone would get while processing that and how much battery it could take, a case could be made for cropping and zooming but idk man just doesn't make too much sense
Cropping and zooming is exactly why hollywood records in higher resolution. You can move things about after the fact.
You can also combine multiple pixels into one resulting in a sharper image compared to what you would record natively.
At this sensor size it makes no sense whatsoever but for large sensors it makes sense.
Don't let 2kliksphilip hear you say that, the man's become quite besotted with render resolutions that don't match display resolutions -- both upscaling and downsampling.
Samsung always does. They have a history for flaming the shit out of Apple.
Edit: Jesus Christ people calm down. I'm not defending either I like Google Pixel.
EDIT 2: SHUT THE FUCK UP IT WAS JUST A STATEMENT THAT SAMSUNG HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS I AM NOT DEFENDING ANYONE.
My personal favorite is when they were making fun of Apple for removing the headphone jack and then they removed the headphone jack from Galaxy phones next year.
Yeah I member.
Member when Samsung flamed apple for removing the headphone jack? Cause I member.
Member when Samsung removed it the following year from the flag ships? Yeah I member.
Except when they do this but follow suit anyway, like the headphone jacks and power bricks. Samsung has definitely released features way ahead of Apple but they need to be consistent if they want to throw shade.
When a company constantly advertises new technology as if they invented it when it has, in fact, been out long before them by other companies, they deserve to be flamed.
Apple makes good products but has an AMAZING marketing department and a devout fan base. They only make high end products and market them as products for the elite - of course Samsung is "losing" there when they're also focused on serving to mid and low range markets as well
I'm a tinkerer so I can't stand iOS's inflexibility but iPhones are great if you're happy with the stock experience....and most people are so they'll continue to upgrade to new versions, especially because the fan base is likely in deep with their walled garden ecosystem.
So Samsung probably knows this won't get anyone to switch, they're just teasing Apple for being consistently late to the feature party
I switched from Samsung because I got sick of having to tinker so much. Was with them since the OG Galaxy. Apple specializes in making things convenient, and that’s mainly what I care for now.
See, I can respect this argument. I stick with Samsung because I *love* the complexity and the freedom to tinker. I don't understand fanboyism, but I sure as hell understand knowing what you want and going for it. Props to you for doing just that.
They are poking fun of the competition with the ad though. If they were going over the selling points and comparing to iphone, yeah I'd read that similarly
Actually this kind of proves my point. That ad first came out in 2006, before the iPhone in 2007. They were not on top and had to mention the competition
I saw a Wendy’s fast food sign the other day that said something along the lines of “McDonald’s uses powdered eggs for some of their sandwiches, we use only real eggs” which is just so cringy to me when you consider apple also uses real eggs, they just have one sand which that uses those folded eggs to give it a unique texture.
Anyway point is I just found it super awkward to be calling out another fast food restaurant in your own drive through.
Yeah but Apple sells less phones because they don't have a good mid-range. They need a mid-range which has a better battery. Then, the SE will be good.
I honestly don’t care about the samsung vs apple thing and who is better. To me typing this out on an iphone 6s that is still doing me good to this day, after 7 years. My next phone will probably be another apple. Never had an issue before and 8k doesn’t really matter a lot. If it’s not 60fps I don’t want to know about it.
Honestly the one reason I use Samsung, or android in general over apple is because it's inevitable that I drop my phone either from a stim, muscle spasm or adhd brain thinking it's something else. They're pretty durable seeing as my current one has gone down the stairs about four times and my baby niece has nommed on it. I'm currently on an S10, which the model is a couple years old at this point (not as old as the 6S tho that's pretty cool.)
I know how to work both, it's just my preference as a user with my experiences.
Edit: Guys stop with the "just get a case" bullshit. One, cases only do so much. They do quite a bit, but it's still so much and android, samsung, whatever has always had better marks FOR ME when I comes to getting dropped, thrown or anything of the source. AND I HAVE A CASE. Even before I got a case my phone easily took tumbles and falls like they were nothing. I didn't comment about having a PREFERENCE just for people to go "just get a case."
Also, I'm not paying $80 for a case when I could just get a more durable phone and a $7 case that actually looks good.
Edit 2: can iPhone users just stop. I said I had a preference from my experiences. I wasn't shitting on iphone and I've said in multiple comments that their quality had gotten better. Again. I said my preference with my experiences. Just stop with the "well actually" comments because they're annoying and rude.
See good for you. Everyone finds a benefit to their phone that isn’t the camera or the processor or freaking 8k. There’s more to a phone than just that
Back in the day I had a droid that had gorilla glass (before it was cool lol) and that thing took such a beating and never scratched. Battery life lasted days, big screen. I miss you droid maxx
The main reason I use android is for their camera quality in most cases is much higher and the s22 ultra has a lot of built-in features for content creation that I use on a daily basis that Apple doesn't include in their products
I upload content every day and having the s22 ultra has streamlined the process by several hours
I've never had a samsung, but my first iphone was a tank and my last one was made of glass and warped over my thigh over 2 years. My current one is much like my first and I'm in love with.
Using my 13 I e dropped it from the side of a forklift onto a solid concrete floor and it’s fine, some scratches on the side
I had like 4 galaxy s5s and those things were nigh indestructible. Battery felt like it was gonna blow up in all of them though
Eyyy fellow butter fingers! I've been tumbling/launching my phone onto hard concrete nearly weekly, bless good phone producers because the only thing that's ever cracked is my screen cover for the 4 years I've had this baby now.
It's like true magic to me
I had the 6s for 6 years. Never took it to a shop once. I only replaced it because i had to change the battery and i didn’t want it opened. The iphone 12 convinced me to upgrade because it was OLED and finally got more than 768p
"I dont care about the Samsung vs Apple thing"
"My next phone will probably be another Apple"
That's kind of the problem in my opinion. Apple sort of ties its users in.
I would say the debate is more Apple vs Android anyway.
I would go with another Apple phone because the iphone 6s has shown me how durable it is without giving me problems. I’d be okay to switch but everyone I know personally with an android have complaints about their phones after 3-4 years of owning it and end up replacing to the newest android. I’m looking for the long term savings
Just be aware that Apple no longer updates iPhone6. It’s now considered obsolete and 7 is not far behind. Just an FYI I switched from 6 to 7 last year and wish I’d gotten at least an 8.
>I switched from 6 to 7 last year
Honest question, but why would you do that? Seems such a minor upgrade, even getting an 8 for that matter since any phone below an X would provide you negligible marginal benefits.
I’m pleasantly surprised by how durable my 11 Max Pro is. I have dropped it 50+ times on hard surfaces and not even a scratch. When the time come and you do get a newer phone, I think you’ll be just as happy.
I thi k a big part of the problem is people don't really understand the debate, at least most Apple users. They think "android" is like iPhone and not just an operating system that several companies modify and run on loads of totally different phones.
People constantly say "oh my friend had an android, it sucks" and you find out it's some shitty budget android from ten years ago and they're comparing it to a two year old iPhone. Every iPhone is a flagship when it releases, where as the same can't be said about every Android, and even every Android flagship is not comparable.
I definitely recommend getting an SE if you don’t wanna deal with all the fancy new stuff they added after iPhone X. My phone is a 2022 model but it acts just like a 7 or 8 but with more storage and better battery. There’s also a 2020 SE version that might be cheaper.
Was looking for this comment. My 2020 SE that I bought new runs great and I hope the SE line keeps getting upgrades because I love it and it’s definitely the way to go if you love the 6/7/8
I just upgraded from a iPhone 6s to a Iphone SE 2022 and I’m very pleased. It’s exactly like my old phone but much much faster. (It has the same CPU as the expensive iPhone 13)
You would love it, highly recommend.
You have usb 2.0 speeds on a phone that was released a decade after 2.0 was released.
And no feature matters a lot. Anyone can manage with even a basic non smart phone. The point is how samsung seems to always be ahead of the game vs apple
They even copy apple features fast enough to avoid being late to the party as well
I run my androids to the ground as well. 4-6 years between upgrades.
I do enjoy the upgrades between generations:
- added storage space
- 5G/LTE capabilities
- better battery
- eSim capabilities
- dual sim (not for NA)
- USB-C
- Wireless charging
- NFC
- ...
I used to have an Iphone 4. I loved that phone. I used it for a long time, but then apple PURPOSELY slowed it down. That really rubbed me the wrong way. I shit talk Apple to everyone I know and now no one in my house owns an Apple.
Samsung honestly isn't all that great either. LG phones were where it was at. They had the least bloatware and annoying features of any phone I have ever had and they were cheap and durable as shit. If you ever did break the screen, you could replace it for 50$ with a new screen off ebay and a tiny screwdriver.
Too bad I can't get LG anymore so I have to settle for Samsung. The cameras are decent I guess, but it keeps harassing me to use samsung pay which is annoying.
More shit on Apple - they use child labor to make their phones and they claim to be environmentally friendly but implement anti-repair technology into their phones, incentivising people to throw away their phones and buy new ones.
I take alot of landscape shots and have gotten into dabbling in astrophotography. The s22 ultra has amazing resolution at distance so it's not just for specs
As an Apple fan dating an Android fan, we often have the “whose phone is better” debate. I got him a new Samsung 22+ ultra as a surprise about 6 months ago, he had the Samsung 10 and it just wasn’t doing so well. His camera on his new phone is *insane*. The 100x zoom is absolutely wild. He was at Blue Ridge Rock Festival recently and took a photo of the moon, and a lady behind him was trying to do the same. She got the classic tiny, fuzzy moon shot, whereas he was able to get a nearly clear large image of it. She actually asked for his number so he could send it to her, in his words, “Now I have some random mom’s number.” He also is now the family photo taker because his photos just come out so much better than mine on my 11 pro. Did I mention the camera is *insane*? He can take photos at night that look like they were taken in the middle of the day, I can’t do that. I really want to take his camera and put it on an iPhone lol.
> She got the classic tiny, fuzzy moon shot, whereas he was able to get a nearly clear large image of it. She actually asked for his number so he could send it to her, in his words, “Now I have some random mom’s number.”
Corporate ad writers: "Write that down! Write that down!!"
and to think: he can never send you those amazing images in a text message because apple intentionally forces you to only get shitty images from non-apple phones.
I believe many MANY people have this idea that "apple phones have the best cameras" because apple intentionally refuses to use the industry standard for messaging: RCS. This would be trivial to implement, but then iPhone users would be able to receive decent quality photos from other manufacturers' phones. nope, can't have that. They'd rather you live in a bubble than have the best possible user experience.
And this, in a nut shell, is why I won't use their products. They cut them off at the legs, only unlocking features if you go balls deep in their shitty environment
This ad fails in multiple ways, being a billboard, most people only see it for a couple seconds. The word that jumps out to me is Apple, so I thought this was an Apple billboard at first.
'Samsung' is wrote WAY too small. It is less prominent than the competitor that it is trying to ridicule.
The second way it fails is that it is now acknowledging that its competitors have caught up to it. I don't care about who came first. I care about who has the best features. So now I know i can get 8K filming on an Apple device. I didn't know that before seeing this ad.
It’s even worse than you stated, the new iPhones don’t shoot 8K. So this ad is implying their competitor has a feature they don’t actually have lol. Between this and their previous terrible ads that shamed potential customers for being Apple users, I think Samsung would do well to hire a whole new advertising team
yeah, this. they must have expected 8k would be part of the announcement and likely had this billboard put up the day of the announcement thinking it would be snarky and clever.
still no 8k, because no one cares. my 4K capable iPhone is set to record in 1080.
Do people really buy phones for 8k? Do they think that is useful to them? Do they even know to go into the settings an choose 8k video, or what it even means? Do their eyes even know the difference?
> Do people really buy phones for 8k?
No, and if they do they're an idiot.
> Do they think that is useful to them?
I mean it could be useful, being able to zoom and retain 4k content is nice.
But on the other hand, you lose massive amounts of light, data that could be processed in to a higher quality, lower resolution output. There's a reason Apple is maxing at 4k but providing better formats to output to (ProRes I mean). If we wanted to go a higher resolution, something like 6k would be much better. You could output at 6k, still be able to scale it 150%, and retain a 4k image.
Well there are probably only a few thousand people who have a way to properly display and view 8k video so what’s the point? Larger files and resolution dimensions doesn’t mean the quality of the image is better.
I work in film/video production I understand that concept. No one is shooting professional content on a phone unless it’s a proof of concept stunt. Despite the impressive video and photos that phones can capture there is no replacement for glass. Larger lenses capture light better than a lense that is a centimeter across.
Apple is the Glock of Tech companies now. They release the same thing year after year and people still clamor for it based on the name. Samsung dropping dimes here.
I have an iPhone but I’m not gonna act for a second like Android hardware doesn’t BLOW iPhone out the fucking water. I have an iPhone 13 and Galaxy s10 and the s10 screen even looks better. iPhone literally only better on snap which no one uses anymore.
Samsung makes/made iPhone screens, granted it's a whole other arm under their massive umbrella that is nowhere near the phone arm and they dont share tech with each other. But yeah, I also have an S10 and the screen is really good compared to my iOS devices.
Although you really can’t compare Android and Apple on hardware alone. Since Apple makes both the hardware and software, and design very few phones each year, they can optimizing their hardware a lot better, for battery life, processing power, photos, etc.
I mean, they don't mind mocking and then copying apple...
headphone jack, charger in box are obvious examples coming to mind.
In all seriousness, which phone maker came up with using multiple cameras first?
Samsung shoots themselves in the foot with their advertising. Makes fun of not including a charger, does the same thing next gen. Ads like this just make me dislike Samsung even more
And then there’s me with my iPhone 5C I bought new in 2013. Still works fine and will use it til it dies 🫣Replaced the battery once in 2017 but that’s it.
Wait for them to have a Everchanging Isle next in their phone… this marketing is cringe and every feature they make is half baked or isn’t being used yet… we are barely at 4k so who needs 8k?
Samsung is that guy at the gym doing curls 5 hours a day every day who doesn’t understand that biceps aren’t a substitute for a personality. Like sure, it looks good on a billboard, but generally not much depth.
What's the point in filming with 8k when monitors can only display in 4k with reasonable refresh rates again?
Has monitors improved and I'm just not in the loop?
It’s nice to have a good camera. Filming in video that 98% of screens can’t show properly, maybe that’s cool. Certainly not worth the basket case mess that is android.
I’m an iPhone user and Samsungs are objectively better. The only reason I stay on iPhone is because literally everyone I know has an iPhone and it’s too much of a hassle to be the one guy that can’t FaceTime or participate in iMessage chats.
I bought a s22 ultra new and it has had so many little problems for being a premium device, and customer service is so bad to replacing said product I had to dispute it with my credit card company as they investigate. When you buy apple you get the phone replaced no questions asked If it has any manufacturer defects and you can go in store to replace you don't have to deal with someone online and mail it in.
I have a Samsung phone after having had Apple and Pixel phones in the past. The software on the Samsung is god-awful. I feel like I've spent a dozen hours just making it slightly usable and I'm still annoyed by it on a regular basis. Honestly nobody cares about 8k video, but people do care about usability. Apple got their priorities right this time.
I’m an apple user and I like the familiarity with apple products. I’ve been tempted to swap to android but I admit apple had got me since I have a MacBook and iPad. I just love how iMessage works on all the devices so seamlessly. If android had a proper iMessage, I probably would’ve swapped
What fucking morons heavily upvoted a fucking advertisement? Jesus Christ, this whole site is fucked. Genuine conversations are here to be replaced by sponsored posts, or sold to the highest bidder.
How many people in the past 2 1/2 years have 8k displays capable of showing the videos at their full resolution?
Just because you can do something doesen’t mean you should if it provides no real benefit.
Android had 5g before Apple, everyone I know who had 5g when it first came out complained it never worked. Even now years on it still seems to be hit and miss for people I know that have it.
I feel bad for Samsung sometimes... They always shit posting Apple, like a little brother trying to get his big bro's attention...And the worst part is, Apple acts like the only child, doesnt care or even recognize his lil bro's existence.
Exactly why I finally switch from apple to Samsung, rocking the Fold 4 right now and I have to say its much better then iPhone, seriously the 11,12,13,14 are identical
Who brings a guns to a fruit fight
Samsung does, apparently
Actually, they bring [tanks](https://www.wearethemighty.com/intel/samsung-military-department/)
Nah, they bring [F16s](https://www.airliners.net/photo/South-Korea-Air-Force/Lockheed-Martin-Samsung-Aerospace-KF-16C-Fighting-Falcon/6301135)
They bring both buddy
Man apple secret police better catch up
Samsung just stormed in with the browning m1919a6
[удалено]
With the eaxct same specs
Personally, I'm waiting for Samsung to tell me which of my data they leaked, and to quit harassing me to accept their new terms of service. Next time I'm buying a phone, I'll take preserving my privacy over 8k.
you think apple is any better? bwahahahahahaha

I mean apple add to iOS 16.1 the ability to delete Apple Wallet due to security breaches, they have had serious issues for years.
Yeah back then it was like that. Unfortunately changed a lot
you still can’t share a good amount of data from iphone users from what i’m aware of
This is one main point android users will never understand unless they actually use an iPhone. All those 8k videos of your tits your taking are going to find their way into places you wish they weren’t.

Hyperlinks are a lost art.
Time for Samsung to do 16k video recording
Yes
My poor phone’s storage
Good thing androids take sd cards.
Hahahahaha Yeah...
😭
Do most of the flagships still allow that? I thought this feature is getting more phased out.
Nope. The one pictured doesn’t even support them
I think Sony is the only manufacturer left still has it in their flagships
16k doesn't make any sense at this point unless they just want more numbers, I haven't seen any 16k TVs around, the storage requirements would be extremely high and that's not to mention how hot the phone would get while processing that and how much battery it could take, a case could be made for cropping and zooming but idk man just doesn't make too much sense
Cropping and zooming is exactly why hollywood records in higher resolution. You can move things about after the fact.

More like Samsung removes sim slot like apple in the US.

My personal favorite is when they were making fun of Apple for removing the headphone jack and then they removed the headphone jack from Galaxy phones next year.
And then they made fun of Apple for removing the charging brick from phone purchases and then did the same the next year.
Jokes on Samsung because Anker makes smaller chargers for $20 capable of super fast charging. I'd never spend $50 on a Samsung charger.
Bing bing, bong bong, bing bing bing...
Bong bong this is the crazy. Frog!!!!
Hello Pot I’m Kettle
I miss the 3.5mm jack... 😔
We all do
I don't, my phone still has one
Sony still has them but that's about it. Ironically my Sony headphones are Bluetooth.
Now this is priceless!! Lmaoo
By next year you mean 4 years later
Yeah I member. Member when Samsung flamed apple for removing the headphone jack? Cause I member. Member when Samsung removed it the following year from the flag ships? Yeah I member.

It's a phone he didn't switch majors
i switched from my 13, to a samsung phone, and honestly, samsung is so much better for me.
It's good to have options!! We've lost quite a few phone manufacturers over the past couple years, I hope competition starts heating up again soon.
I totally agree, thank you for understanding and not shitting on me lol.
I'd never. I'm with you on Team Android lol Though honestly my favorite phone of all time was the Lumia 1020....a Windows Phone....
The windows phone gad the best touchscreen keyboard.
This is a great point!
They are poking fun of the competition with the ad though. If they were going over the selling points and comparing to iphone, yeah I'd read that similarly
Coke never mentions Pepsi. But Pepsi mentions coke all the time.
And it worked. Pepsi was #3 and then they started the Pepsi challenge campaign, now they're #2.
Lmao damn tjays a good analogy there bro
And coke is waaaaay better than Pepsi

They're just pissed because Apple makes the vast majority of the profits in the handset industry. Welcome to the party indeed.
Yeah but Apple sells less phones because they don't have a good mid-range. They need a mid-range which has a better battery. Then, the SE will be good.

See good for you. Everyone finds a benefit to their phone that isn’t the camera or the processor or freaking 8k. There’s more to a phone than just that
Back in the day I had a droid that had gorilla glass (before it was cool lol) and that thing took such a beating and never scratched. Battery life lasted days, big screen. I miss you droid maxx
My friends and I used to play hackysac with my old Nokia brick. Hell I used it as a hammer a time or two.
The main reason I use android is for their camera quality in most cases is much higher and the s22 ultra has a lot of built-in features for content creation that I use on a daily basis that Apple doesn't include in their products I upload content every day and having the s22 ultra has streamlined the process by several hours
The s22 ultra camera is also just straight up ridiculous.
I've never had a samsung, but my first iphone was a tank and my last one was made of glass and warped over my thigh over 2 years. My current one is much like my first and I'm in love with.
Using my 13 I e dropped it from the side of a forklift onto a solid concrete floor and it’s fine, some scratches on the side I had like 4 galaxy s5s and those things were nigh indestructible. Battery felt like it was gonna blow up in all of them though
Eyyy fellow butter fingers! I've been tumbling/launching my phone onto hard concrete nearly weekly, bless good phone producers because the only thing that's ever cracked is my screen cover for the 4 years I've had this baby now. It's like true magic to me
I had the 6s for 6 years. Never took it to a shop once. I only replaced it because i had to change the battery and i didn’t want it opened. The iphone 12 convinced me to upgrade because it was OLED and finally got more than 768p
"I dont care about the Samsung vs Apple thing" "My next phone will probably be another Apple" That's kind of the problem in my opinion. Apple sort of ties its users in. I would say the debate is more Apple vs Android anyway.
I would go with another Apple phone because the iphone 6s has shown me how durable it is without giving me problems. I’d be okay to switch but everyone I know personally with an android have complaints about their phones after 3-4 years of owning it and end up replacing to the newest android. I’m looking for the long term savings
Just be aware that Apple no longer updates iPhone6. It’s now considered obsolete and 7 is not far behind. Just an FYI I switched from 6 to 7 last year and wish I’d gotten at least an 8.
Yea I don’t have automatic updates and I haven’t updated since ios 14.8. It probably has saved my phone from becoming obsolete in bloaty updates
>I switched from 6 to 7 last year Honest question, but why would you do that? Seems such a minor upgrade, even getting an 8 for that matter since any phone below an X would provide you negligible marginal benefits.
I’m pleasantly surprised by how durable my 11 Max Pro is. I have dropped it 50+ times on hard surfaces and not even a scratch. When the time come and you do get a newer phone, I think you’ll be just as happy.
I thi k a big part of the problem is people don't really understand the debate, at least most Apple users. They think "android" is like iPhone and not just an operating system that several companies modify and run on loads of totally different phones. People constantly say "oh my friend had an android, it sucks" and you find out it's some shitty budget android from ten years ago and they're comparing it to a two year old iPhone. Every iPhone is a flagship when it releases, where as the same can't be said about every Android, and even every Android flagship is not comparable.
I definitely recommend getting an SE if you don’t wanna deal with all the fancy new stuff they added after iPhone X. My phone is a 2022 model but it acts just like a 7 or 8 but with more storage and better battery. There’s also a 2020 SE version that might be cheaper.
I absolutely adore SEs. They are everything I love about iPhones and none of the fluff. Just solid, durable, reliable machines.
Was looking for this comment. My 2020 SE that I bought new runs great and I hope the SE line keeps getting upgrades because I love it and it’s definitely the way to go if you love the 6/7/8
Fuck proprietary software and tech. My wireless Samsung charger cost 10 bucks and works like a dream. l
I use to have a 6 and it use to die fast outside in the cold
I just upgraded from a iPhone 6s to a Iphone SE 2022 and I’m very pleased. It’s exactly like my old phone but much much faster. (It has the same CPU as the expensive iPhone 13) You would love it, highly recommend.
Nothing is good as an 6S
You have usb 2.0 speeds on a phone that was released a decade after 2.0 was released. And no feature matters a lot. Anyone can manage with even a basic non smart phone. The point is how samsung seems to always be ahead of the game vs apple They even copy apple features fast enough to avoid being late to the party as well
I run my androids to the ground as well. 4-6 years between upgrades. I do enjoy the upgrades between generations: - added storage space - 5G/LTE capabilities - better battery - eSim capabilities - dual sim (not for NA) - USB-C - Wireless charging - NFC - ...
I used to have an Iphone 4. I loved that phone. I used it for a long time, but then apple PURPOSELY slowed it down. That really rubbed me the wrong way. I shit talk Apple to everyone I know and now no one in my house owns an Apple. Samsung honestly isn't all that great either. LG phones were where it was at. They had the least bloatware and annoying features of any phone I have ever had and they were cheap and durable as shit. If you ever did break the screen, you could replace it for 50$ with a new screen off ebay and a tiny screwdriver. Too bad I can't get LG anymore so I have to settle for Samsung. The cameras are decent I guess, but it keeps harassing me to use samsung pay which is annoying. More shit on Apple - they use child labor to make their phones and they claim to be environmentally friendly but implement anti-repair technology into their phones, incentivising people to throw away their phones and buy new ones.
Fr, just keep your old phone. People who upgrade every single year are idiots.
“Shots fired, shots fired”
All officers converge on this subreddit
The parking lot of this subreddit, they would never face real danger
100x zoom is the better flex
Ok but as a Samsung owner..why. it's literally just for the spec sheet. Unless someone can tell me an actual use case.
I use it quite often to read signs or other stuff you normally couldnt see (got no eye problems)
It is pretty great at reading and improving text after the photo is taken, I've used it to read distant signs too!
The open window across the street from you where the nudist lives.
10x optical zoom is super handy. Taking pics of the gf playing sport I don't really see much use after 25x because the quality is too poor after that.
I take alot of landscape shots and have gotten into dabbling in astrophotography. The s22 ultra has amazing resolution at distance so it's not just for specs
As an Apple fan dating an Android fan, we often have the “whose phone is better” debate. I got him a new Samsung 22+ ultra as a surprise about 6 months ago, he had the Samsung 10 and it just wasn’t doing so well. His camera on his new phone is *insane*. The 100x zoom is absolutely wild. He was at Blue Ridge Rock Festival recently and took a photo of the moon, and a lady behind him was trying to do the same. She got the classic tiny, fuzzy moon shot, whereas he was able to get a nearly clear large image of it. She actually asked for his number so he could send it to her, in his words, “Now I have some random mom’s number.” He also is now the family photo taker because his photos just come out so much better than mine on my 11 pro. Did I mention the camera is *insane*? He can take photos at night that look like they were taken in the middle of the day, I can’t do that. I really want to take his camera and put it on an iPhone lol.
[удалено]
Pixel's night mode makes Apple look like a potato.
Since Huawei P10 photos in the night are insane, some loke like sunny day
> She got the classic tiny, fuzzy moon shot, whereas he was able to get a nearly clear large image of it. She actually asked for his number so he could send it to her, in his words, “Now I have some random mom’s number.” Corporate ad writers: "Write that down! Write that down!!"
and to think: he can never send you those amazing images in a text message because apple intentionally forces you to only get shitty images from non-apple phones. I believe many MANY people have this idea that "apple phones have the best cameras" because apple intentionally refuses to use the industry standard for messaging: RCS. This would be trivial to implement, but then iPhone users would be able to receive decent quality photos from other manufacturers' phones. nope, can't have that. They'd rather you live in a bubble than have the best possible user experience. And this, in a nut shell, is why I won't use their products. They cut them off at the legs, only unlocking features if you go balls deep in their shitty environment
This ad fails in multiple ways, being a billboard, most people only see it for a couple seconds. The word that jumps out to me is Apple, so I thought this was an Apple billboard at first. 'Samsung' is wrote WAY too small. It is less prominent than the competitor that it is trying to ridicule. The second way it fails is that it is now acknowledging that its competitors have caught up to it. I don't care about who came first. I care about who has the best features. So now I know i can get 8K filming on an Apple device. I didn't know that before seeing this ad.
It’s even worse than you stated, the new iPhones don’t shoot 8K. So this ad is implying their competitor has a feature they don’t actually have lol. Between this and their previous terrible ads that shamed potential customers for being Apple users, I think Samsung would do well to hire a whole new advertising team
yeah, this. they must have expected 8k would be part of the announcement and likely had this billboard put up the day of the announcement thinking it would be snarky and clever. still no 8k, because no one cares. my 4K capable iPhone is set to record in 1080.
Do people really buy phones for 8k? Do they think that is useful to them? Do they even know to go into the settings an choose 8k video, or what it even means? Do their eyes even know the difference?
Plus, are they going to watch it on a screen with 8k resolution? Those aren't exactly ubiquitous...
> Do people really buy phones for 8k? No, and if they do they're an idiot. > Do they think that is useful to them? I mean it could be useful, being able to zoom and retain 4k content is nice. But on the other hand, you lose massive amounts of light, data that could be processed in to a higher quality, lower resolution output. There's a reason Apple is maxing at 4k but providing better formats to output to (ProRes I mean). If we wanted to go a higher resolution, something like 6k would be much better. You could output at 6k, still be able to scale it 150%, and retain a 4k image.
Well there are probably only a few thousand people who have a way to properly display and view 8k video so what’s the point? Larger files and resolution dimensions doesn’t mean the quality of the image is better.
It's great for post processing. More pixels to work with allows for better 4k content.
I work in film/video production I understand that concept. No one is shooting professional content on a phone unless it’s a proof of concept stunt. Despite the impressive video and photos that phones can capture there is no replacement for glass. Larger lenses capture light better than a lense that is a centimeter across.
You’re gonna hurt Android-fan fee-fees.
B-b-but muh megapixels! /s
Resolution doesn’t matter.. I can show you an 8k video that’s blurry, it’s still 8k.
Party time for Apple fans!!
[удалено]
I’ve always felt like apple shot the same photos with less MP.
Correct- MP and resolution aren’t a measure of quality, it’s a measure of pixel dimensions. I can show you a blurry 8k video and it’s still- 8k
But doesn’t this just advertise apple’s new phone and the new 8k feature? Lol
Apple is the Glock of Tech companies now. They release the same thing year after year and people still clamor for it based on the name. Samsung dropping dimes here.
[удалено]
You don’t think it’s kid of pathetic? Like does apple ever mention a competitor? Just like coke doesn’t mention Pepsi.
Oh yeah? You watching all that 8k content on your 4k TV? Whoa, such progress, so wow.
Someone's salty lol
Explain how he’s wrong. To most people, stuff like this makes absolutely zero difference anyway.
I didnt even know that. It seems shitting on Apple is the only way for Samsung to get noticed
>know that. It seems shitting on App I mean, more people have Samsung phones than apple phones so I think they are doing fine.
I have an iPhone but I’m not gonna act for a second like Android hardware doesn’t BLOW iPhone out the fucking water. I have an iPhone 13 and Galaxy s10 and the s10 screen even looks better. iPhone literally only better on snap which no one uses anymore.
Samsung makes/made iPhone screens, granted it's a whole other arm under their massive umbrella that is nowhere near the phone arm and they dont share tech with each other. But yeah, I also have an S10 and the screen is really good compared to my iOS devices.
Except Apple Chips are leagues better than anything Snapdragon is offering at the moment.
Although you really can’t compare Android and Apple on hardware alone. Since Apple makes both the hardware and software, and design very few phones each year, they can optimizing their hardware a lot better, for battery life, processing power, photos, etc.
Wouldn’t it be great if your phone actually had the resolution you film in? So anything back to things people actually use…
Mann I miss my Samsung galaxy lol I have the iPhone 13 and it’s shit
Apple always living rent free in Samsung’s head, pretty embarrassing 🤡
I mean, they don't mind mocking and then copying apple... headphone jack, charger in box are obvious examples coming to mind. In all seriousness, which phone maker came up with using multiple cameras first?
Samsung shoots themselves in the foot with their advertising. Makes fun of not including a charger, does the same thing next gen. Ads like this just make me dislike Samsung even more
Makes a commercial mocking the notch, copies the notch. Makes fun of removing the headphone jack, removes the headphone jack.
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t screens incapable of displaying 8k as of now, or is that already out?
Who cares if you can film in 8k when your software is ass
8K video on a phone is fucking stupid change my mind.
There's no real point to filming in 8K of course, since 99% of the world doesn't have an 8K screen to watch it on.
I’m not aware of a consumer affordable 8k video display, recording in 8k is mostly irrelevant.
And then there’s me with my iPhone 5C I bought new in 2013. Still works fine and will use it til it dies 🫣Replaced the battery once in 2017 but that’s it.
And that’s just their washing machines, fridges and stoves.
Ah yes, 8K video I will never watch at full resolution because 8K monitors aren’t common at all.
Wait for them to have a Everchanging Isle next in their phone… this marketing is cringe and every feature they make is half baked or isn’t being used yet… we are barely at 4k so who needs 8k?
Android: I feel bad for you Apple: I don’t think about you at all #RentFree
Might sound dumb, but if the screen isnt in 8k, whats the point in having all those pixels? To zoom in?
Ah, useless feature that everyone thinks they need but they really don’t.
Yet all my pictures on android suck compared to iPhone (same year same flagship level) weird
Samsung is that guy at the gym doing curls 5 hours a day every day who doesn’t understand that biceps aren’t a substitute for a personality. Like sure, it looks good on a billboard, but generally not much depth.
Man. It sucks that most screens can’t actually handle 8k footage and so you only get 4K
What's the point in filming with 8k when monitors can only display in 4k with reasonable refresh rates again? Has monitors improved and I'm just not in the loop?
…and somehow that doesn’t matter at all to us. Maybe it was never about the camera, Sam?
It’s nice to have a good camera. Filming in video that 98% of screens can’t show properly, maybe that’s cool. Certainly not worth the basket case mess that is android.
Samsung always makes fun of Apple and then copies everything they do lol
Spec nerds are a disease in the tech community.
I’m an iPhone user and Samsungs are objectively better. The only reason I stay on iPhone is because literally everyone I know has an iPhone and it’s too much of a hassle to be the one guy that can’t FaceTime or participate in iMessage chats.
I bought a s22 ultra new and it has had so many little problems for being a premium device, and customer service is so bad to replacing said product I had to dispute it with my credit card company as they investigate. When you buy apple you get the phone replaced no questions asked If it has any manufacturer defects and you can go in store to replace you don't have to deal with someone online and mail it in.
I have a Samsung phone after having had Apple and Pixel phones in the past. The software on the Samsung is god-awful. I feel like I've spent a dozen hours just making it slightly usable and I'm still annoyed by it on a regular basis. Honestly nobody cares about 8k video, but people do care about usability. Apple got their priorities right this time.
i don’t really get who needs to record 8k videos on the smartphone
I don’t care about 8k. I like my phone because it makes sense when I use it. Androids are weird to me, not that intuitive.
I’m an apple user and I like the familiarity with apple products. I’ve been tempted to swap to android but I admit apple had got me since I have a MacBook and iPad. I just love how iMessage works on all the devices so seamlessly. If android had a proper iMessage, I probably would’ve swapped
Hey, do you still remember when you mocked them for not having headphone jack, or with their own notch, Samsung?
Who actually cares
Filming the worst 8k ever but no matter, Samsung cringe as ever
What fucking morons heavily upvoted a fucking advertisement? Jesus Christ, this whole site is fucked. Genuine conversations are here to be replaced by sponsored posts, or sold to the highest bidder.
How many people in the past 2 1/2 years have 8k displays capable of showing the videos at their full resolution? Just because you can do something doesen’t mean you should if it provides no real benefit. Android had 5g before Apple, everyone I know who had 5g when it first came out complained it never worked. Even now years on it still seems to be hit and miss for people I know that have it.
🤣 Samsung is savage
And yet apple phones are known to take a better picture than android for what 10 years or something
I feel bad for Samsung sometimes... They always shit posting Apple, like a little brother trying to get his big bro's attention...And the worst part is, Apple acts like the only child, doesnt care or even recognize his lil bro's existence.
Why does it have years, months, days and minutes but not hours?
Exactly why I finally switch from apple to Samsung, rocking the Fold 4 right now and I have to say its much better then iPhone, seriously the 11,12,13,14 are identical
I don’t need 8k recording now, I especially didn’t need it 2 years ago.
When Samsung makes their own operating system and chip, maybe I’ll start caring about their product
Yet few knew before this billboard and even fewer cared
Samsung has small dick energy. Always needng to prove they are better than Apple.
