future galaxy devices

[TBone]

All I am not going to make a secret I am not happy with the Galaxy S21 series in my opinion there's too many corners cut just to save a few dollars. I don't want to turn this in to a rant so I'm going to keep this short and simple.

 Samsung please give us back QUHD screens, let the users have a choice of QUHD even if it's at 60hz. some one like my self wouldn't mind it. Also please please please 🙏🏻 bring back micro SD card. Many many users like my self see it as a must have. The plastic back thing I could learn to live with but please bring back QUHD screens and micro SD card slot.

That was exactly why I skipped the Note 6 & we know what happened with the Note 7.

There are no Note6, only S6. They just renamed Note6 to Note7. Unfortunately Note7....

Maybe I am thinking about the Note 5. The Note 4 was the last Note phone I bought. 

[Deeezzyyy]

yes, it was the Note 5 that had no expandable storage.

ya it's bad when the S20's are better spec'd devices then the new S21's other then chip sets.

Samsung is not taking in the opinions of everyone as they know they are the top selling brand right now. Their only real competition anymore is Apple. Any brands that are coming up unfortunately are being blacklisted by the US... First Huawei... now Xiaomi and more will come in the future. Soon enough, there won't be that many more Android competition. Sony, Motorola, LG and etc aren't popular enough anymore.

They're pushing this marketing scheme because they want to push people to buy the Ultra variant with the highest memory storage. Sadly this is how it is when dealing with a popular brand.

[TBone]

maybe so..... but you know what speaks most to companies........ when customers stop buying their products because they are not what people want to buy.

[Deeezzyyy]

that's the thing... the stats... the ranks... whatever they're doing, they're still the top brand 😕 so they aren't listening anymore than before

[TBone]

well it's really early to tell if these S21's will sell well or not. besides no matter what samsung like most companies will always say that everything is going very well and say things like due to Unusually high demand blah blah blah. it's all normal sales tactics. when in reality they sales are not. I.E "exynos 990 performs similar to SD 865". samsung was very careful to say similar not the same. we all know the exynos 990 is garbage. also samsung would likely say note 20 sold well when we know it didn't. same for S20's, when at least one version if not all S20's where on some sort of sale for most of 2020 because they where not selling well at all. 🤷🏻‍♂️ samsung made the S20 FE because samsung was in Desperate need of a product that would sell in place of the normal S20 line. these are just a few examples.

True but Samsung has many series that they sell so they still maintain their top sales spot. Note series, S series, A series, M series and now Z series. One series that doesn't sell well to them don't hurt as much. I check other tech sites to see the top sales and lately, it has been between Xiaomi, Samsung and Apple. Xiaomi was another alternative to Android but the trump administration just blacklisted them. Android users don't like the Iphone UI. So they don't have a direct competitor as of right now. Maybe Sony or Oneplus or Oppo will come up and take their spot and hopefully they'll start listening to consumers opinions by then. Or one day another UI will come out and be another competitor by then. Who knows. All this to say that such a big company that is at the top just don't care much about consumers opinions. I strongly agree that removing the charger is dumb. Removing the SD card is dumb. Hell, I just bought a 512gb micro SD card... lol. Removing MST from Samsung pay is dumb. But sadly it may have to be a reality that we'll just have to learn to deal with 🤷♂️
