heh heh.

Some apps need constant updates to function properly.
Some wont run at all if not updated.
So no choice for the user.

"it's a manufacturers' conspiracy!"
first, sell what customer is made to believe, to be a totl.
then bring out the apps that will eat up the ram.
then, bring out the "upgraded model".
three sales for the same final result!
genius.

Well. Conspiracy or not.
Those who complain the most are the ones using budget phones. And that market has volume so makes sense to see/hear complaints.

Apple didnt bring out a budget line so you wont hear them complain too much on instability. Althlugh few of my friends complain that they cannot use theirs because it is not supported supported anymore by the ios release.

How about this Oppo Find X? Okay ba?

And I thought the p20 was so good. It can even demand a high price alongside Samsung.

For example, sure the P20 has a nice camera, but UI still feels like a generic Chinese Android phone.

Also, no other brand makes curved edge screens as nicely as Samsung does.

I know there are differences in loading times depending on the hardware, pero to make the phone crash and restart. Please enlighten me.

You have to use other phones to actually compare.

A lot of factors that’s why for android less bloatware better.

My wife's P9 Plus is still doing great. She used a Note 1 and a Note 3 before this. Battery life and performance are still good. Problem is Smart never updated the FW since she got it so I'll be debranding and unlocking the phone once she replaces it with something else.

He is comparing Samsung experience to Mi A2, AFAIK A2 is Android One phone. No bloatware installed/running on background.

That's why many people wants stock android, given you have same phone with same Snapdragon processors and same ram, magkakatalo yan sa mga software na tumatakbo sa background. Obviously yung mga stock android doesn't have a lot of software on background. That is until you install other softwares.

agree. kahit salpakan yan ng latest chipset, magkakatalo naman sa UI design at implementation ng manufacturer.
