Samsung really dropped the ball this year. In the long run I see them losing against the Chinese brands because they're doing exactly what Samsung is doing. Getting big with low and midrange phones. Samsung really does not have that premium feel, I look at the OS and just laugh. Shame becuz design wise S7 looks nice. The only Android phones that have a classy feel are Xperias. They're so good even Apple copied the Z's power button placement, and Apple never copies things like that but sets trends. The new Xperia XZ looks awesome btw. |
I do believe SONY learnt the "premium" design language before Samsung. My S3 looked like a toy compared to the first Xperia Z.
However, I am done with playing the waiting game with Android manufacturers, you never for how long your device will be supported and updated to the latest Android. Samsung supported their S3, their flagship, for only 10 months, so we didn't get Android Kitkat, their reasoning? Not enough RAM, which is a hilarious lie giving that KitKat's MAIN goal was to make sure Android runs well on devices with low RAM, as low as 512. So yeah, fuck off Samsung.
My take-home point, I will only invest in Nexus/iPhone devices, and the current Nexus wave doesn't impress me. Looking forward to Google's next attempt.
