As a Samsung user of 6 years, mainly due to job phone policy, I say they deserve it.
Great screens, but gawddamn they aren't worth their price. No charger, no headphone jack, no expandable storage, fingerprint sensor that are iffy and damn OS taking up 30% of your storage, no matter which option you go for.
I like the camera and s-pen on my S22u but that's it. They need to lower price and make competent mid range phones again, like the A52s.
But you can say this about any phone company these days (besides Sony, they still have it all) or you can blame them for taking the 'apple' direction of taking away everything and charging more.
Funnily enough they still have expandable storage on the A54. It's only their best models where they know they can gouge for more storage.
Its actually kinda ridicoulus that somehow features get removed from the top kodeks first and then it slowly trickles down to cheaper phones. You would think pepole paying literaly a 1000 dollars for a phone would complain first and foremost. But then again some pepole replace their phones every 2 years Just beacuse(its not like you need need new more powerful phones for pretty much any use including gaming, with the only known to me exception being emulators, but that is a very specific niche ).
They have expandable storage on a lot of cheaper phones, as well as Aux ports. I chose my phone, the A23 5g, over the A53 because of the Aux port, and it is still an amazing phone.
I love the spen, and never had trouble with the finger print scanner... But you nail the rest of the list.
Fingerprint issues were my biggest complaint on Note 20, coming from S9, that was a huge let down.
Huh, I guess I just got lucky, or have "typical" finger prints!
Try that with a screen protector on 20 series and you'll see what I mean. With other brands using optical sensor, you don't need to worry about it at all.
I have a screen protector on my s22u, without a problem.
As I said, maybe I'm just lucky. /Shrug.
Which kind? One that fully adhere to screen or the kind with glue on edges and circular area near sensor?
