Samsung finally ditched the stupid curved glass, so Androidland now has nice hardware too

[–] Joker@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Good luck with that. Their phones are filled with ads and Samsung’s crappy software that can’t be removed. Apple and Google do the same thing, but their apps are at least good. As good as Samsung’s hardware is, they mess up the package with their hot garbage software.

There are 4 Samsung apps that I'll erase if it'll be just a tap. So it's not very 👎. I can use Android debug bridge to erase those but I won't bother. If there are 30 bloat apps, I'll erase those.

I've been using my Samsung a70 for about 2 years. The Samsung apps are generally fine.

I do wholeheartedly agree that Samsung writes shit software tho, but their customizations for the last seven years stopped frying my phone. (S2 was okay, S3 was such a dumpster fire of a phone caused by Samsung's deplorable coding)

I have the impression that OS restrictions imposed by Google on latest versions of Android and - perhaps - the move to Kotlin improved it. I have been using a S10+ and had no issues with software. Crappy software can be removed without root using ADB and, in my region, Samsung does not bundle carrier crap (except stupid Facebook stuff that is still present in S10 and even S24 series)

Yeah I never understood that. Made me stop buying Samsung phones, also because they added a price premium. Turns out that the best Android phones are Motorola phones like the Edge 30. No crapware at all and fantastic battery time.

I never understood this

iPhones are fashion accessories before anything else.

Samsung for some fuckdamn reason just copycats everything Apple does.

The curved glass was a stupid, expensive, and failure prone attempt at capturing the fashion accessory market.

All it did was piss off eight years of customers.

It really is amazing how companies with ridiculous amounts of money for research and product testing and they hang on to an abject failure like this for so long.

Yes, curved glass serves no function and introduces a vulnerable point, prone for cracking

And makes it basically impossible to get a glass screen protector.

[–] Moira_Mayhem@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

And makes just holding it normally cause misclicks as the edge of your fingertips brush the curved glass.

Honestly I would be a lot less pissed about it if they just hadn't extended the touch sensitivity all the way around the curve.

There are a few phones (I hope there'll be more) that last 2 days with medium use. I'm :) for folks with those phones.
