Until you start looking for the spare parts, lol
It's people like you that think of spare parts first before you buy phone lol. Very mumu mentality. You never use phone, you dey think of how to repair am already.

That age is gone. Parts of every phone is everywhere. Open your eyes and leave that ghetto you're staying lol

Depends on what you want.
My flagship xiaomi mi 8 slowed down to crap in less than two years. I guess it needs a reset.
My S21 ultra still flies like day 1 even with filled storage and over 1 year of use.
Xiaomi has some exclusive features you can't find on samsung and vice versa.

I just bought one the highest Motorolas.
Have never been a FAN of it but thought it wise since it seems they have repented.
Motorola Moto X30 pro
The Camera is Top Notch!
The Phone is a Beast!
I have never liked iPhone either.

So, I'm recommending this one for your ultimate satisfaction.
Seems you live in the USA.
Can you really cope with no imessage?

LoL. iMessage? That's not enough to make me dump Samsung and port to iOS. wink cheesy. There's a particular flexibility I enjoy using my S22 Ultra for my day to day routine

Why would you be comparing a Xiami Mi 8 to a S21 Ultra, bro?

2018 SD 845 vs 2021 SD 888. Fear God, abeg.

I didn't compare it.
I meant when I bought it in 2019.

Yeah dual apps is limited to only messaging and social media apps on samsung.
Also, Samsung has no default app lock and third party options simply do not work as well.
I love second space on xiaomi too. Secure folder is good but doesn't do the same thing.

Please what's the difference between second space and the secure folder in terms of functions?


You really seem to have read my mind and concerns.


Are there other good differences between the two brands you can remember?

Are u sure u know what u are saying. How can u say secure folder is limited to messaging and social media apps. Some of u would just spout dross confidently.

I think he meant dual app functionality here.

Yes, when I used Samsung S20. I couldn't do with it. I used the device to wait for Xiaomi 12S Ultra.

My saved password on Google wasn't working on that Samsung. Samsung was forcing me to use Secure pass.

That alone made me say i can't use Samsung for now.

Second space is kind of like a seperate user space on windows. Practically a separate phone. You can install whatever you want on it. Very easy to switch to too.

Secure folder on samsung is like an app folder that you can also install apps, videos, and whatever you like too.
In my opinion, second space on xiaomi is superior.

Mind you, Samsung has way better second hand value if you care about selling your device later on, plus it has 4 years of OS updates. I think Xiaomi flagship have 3 years now.

Experience has taught me to weigh the pros and cons before making any decision but then, do what thou wilt. I hope you remain as smart as you think you are in future.

You don't worry about me bro. I use phones that are really rare in the Nigerian market with no parts unless you order them. Ignorance is bliss, so I don't actually expect you to understand, seeing you don't want to open your eyes, ears, and mind to possibilities.

If in 2022 you have to think of spare parts before you buy a phone, then I really don't know what to tell you.

But I can say this-its being penny wise, pound foolish bro. Try change and look on the bright side
