Samsung mid-range phones are quite expensive for the specs given that xiaomi might give you close or same specs for cheaper price


that's my take

You know, it's not just raw specs that most people consider when buying phones. Going by specs alone, iPhones has the lowest specs (RAM, megapixels, mah etc) out there but very good experience overall. Many people will feel good just to own a Samsung (A-series) phone that can do what they want, even if it's slightly costlier than some other Chinese brands. And those people are greater in number than spec-conscious geeks like us.

IMO, If you're talking about mid range, samsung devices are poor in that department.

sentiments aside galaxy A and M series are no match for xiaomi mid range

unless maybe you're talking about their flagships.

many peeps fall in this category, I'm one of them, a xiaomi might have better specs compared to price than a Samsung midrange also, compared to price in same range.

But, personally, i feel my smartphone is an extension of my overall person, and so, i just don't mind spending the extra bucks to get the sophistication and class the Samsung brings.

I've had to cut down on phone expenses recently, as i have always been a Galaxy S series user, i don't like the restrictions on ios, but the latest A series have the looks, juice and sophistication of the S20 series for a lesser price.

so i will get the A71 as my next daily driver.

That's how iPhone users feel and your class using a Samsung will never match up to those using an iPhone, even if it's an iPhone from 2 years ago.

Brand conscious buyers will always go with what looks best on them not necessarily what's best for them.

I do hope when a lady says you're not worth her time because you don't own an iPhone, you'd understand it's for the exact same reason.

Just saying. Peace

Op when you ask for recommendations between two brands you should state what kind of a user you are, what your budget is, what features you're looking for etc. Both brands have amazing smartphones across different price points so it'll be much better to streamline which of them would offer you the best value for money.

I guess I'm the exception. I don't mind buying a $500 Chuwibook notebook that offers more price to performance to an Acer of the same price.

It has to meet my needs, brand is never my first consideration.

And who informed you that i care, what you and any other person of same mind thinks?

Joke's on you.

I have nothing against iphones, they are cool phones but, it's not my thing, as i said earlier in my comment.

The restrictions, their lcd screens and their notches and not to mention not so good designs are not for me.

I love to customize, run hd movies on amoled gorgeous screens, clone and run various apps and ilove good looking designs the Samsung phones offer.

Not to say others may not like what i like nor buy iphones cos of the apple logo, to you.. yours and to me.. mine.

Bruh, I don't care about all that. iPhones are the only phones for class. I don't care about your opinion either.

BTW, iPhone 11 Pro uses AMOLED.

I was trying to point out why brand buying is silly. And I was not the person that said it.

It's a very ridiculous ideology that Samsung only makes the best phones. In the eyes of an Apple loyalist, only Apple makes the best phones and so on...

Apple is boring guy, agree or not.

People like u only buy them not for practicality but for the apple logo grin

And for your information, the S20 ultra, the huawei p40 pro are more expensive than the most expensive Apple iphone 11 pro max (so, who is regarding broke is only insecure).

Use yr boring Apple iphone cause you think you are going to look rich and be moving with empty bank account grin

Your budget should speak for you. Samsung phones are much more expensive now, even 2019 models may be because of covid 19 shipping cost, xiaomi should be prefared. Note 8 and 9 series are below 80k while their contemporaries in Samsung are above 100k

This is a delusional way of thinking. No phone gives you class, they're all just for-profit companies looking to make money. You buy phones for specs, build quality, software experience, features, capabilities etc, not class

You wouldn't have a hint of what i mean. It's understandable.

Some pay the big money for the rolls royce cos of taste & cos it exhudes class.

For instance, Will the Volkswagen golf be capable.. yes!, Will it take you to where you're going.. yes!, Will it give you build quality.. yes!. But, will it give you all these and exude class ....NO!.

You make me laugh. First off, all Samsung phones that you so highly praise are mass produced, assembly line products that cost a fraction of the retail price. Where's the class in that?

Second, Rolls Royce that you brought into a phone conversation justify their cars based on things like expert craftsmanship, superb performance, the best build quality, beautiful styling etc. These aren't intangibles and they don't just parrot "class" about, they offer you a better product. Their cars are practically handmade and no, the volkswagen golf will not give you these.

So you just effectively compared a mass produced product(sold by the millions) to a niche product that's almost always made to order. Next time, take the time to think of a good analogy instead of grabbing the next most expensive item that comes to mind.

Samsung makes a lot of phones, ranging from low end to high end. Any sensible and not-deluded buyer will look at the particular product and compare it to the competition before pulling the trigger, instead of brand buying and deceiving themselves with an oxymoron like "classy mass market product".

Which phone isn't mass produced?... Samsung makes more from the midrange line than it does from its premium line i.e the S series, Apple doesn't make midrange due to their stuck up business strategy, but they saw the business and money Samsung is making from its midrange line and they now picked up this strategy with the launch of the iphone se 2020!.

The Samsung A50 was the best selling phone in europe in 2019... it's business boy!

2ndly, the rolls royce is a car and the golf is also a car, both will take u from point a to point b, going by your analogy earlier, class shouldn't be a determinant in making a choice of purchase...


I highlighted that in the comparison of both cars all things being equal in terms of functionality.
