And they don't even design a single element of their own phones, no matter what chipset is inside each of their phones. Samsung has no way of differentiating their products apart from their UI, which itself seems like a spinoff of TCL's UI

Sin, 13 Dec 2022Ok Virtual ram only makes very small difference At least there is the opinion too use it as... more virtual ram does nothing though. its just slowly killing your emmc in silence

Minu, 18 Dec 2022Every single Samsung phone is made by Huaqin, lol. Also agreed with your opinion, a 2-3 year ... more real samsung phones have exynos and midrange to high end snapdragons. not like generic looking samsung phones with mediatek and unisoc.. most A0X models have useless 2nd sensor. which is so called a depth sensor. its just there to attract uninformed customers who are so tight in budget and need a samsung phone.

Also agreed with your opinion, a 2-3 year old brand new mid-range phone would be a much better substitute imho, and Samsung definitely needs to be avoided at this price point. I've mentioned all of their bloatware below. Makes Xiaomi and BBK phones look much better

8gb ram expansion??? via emmc??? prepare to reach the read/write limit until the flash chip dies in shorter time anyway, virtual ram isnt gonna automatically make low end phones turning into a rog phone. it just occupies your storage. no wonder why end user storage gone shrunk in samsung phones. mostly caused by the absurd amount of bloatwares they put into. i couldnt call this as a real samsung phone though, probably its just an ODM made device under the samsung brand??? despite by the generic looks. for whose are looking for a new phone for new year, dont even bother to waste your precious money on this one.

Minu, 14 Dec 2022Agreed. Hard to believe that Xiaomis are much better than Samsungs, even when bloatware is con... more Well man thinking the same. But as i told several times here i am just a bussiness man my company is seling what is available we cant force developers and companies to what we like. They make on their own. And as usualy any company uses any possible meanings and way to make even a single euro as a profit from anything just to not drain customers too much in this era where everything is greatly overpriced from what we had 10 or even 20 years ago.

CptPower, 14 Dec 2022Well man thats correct. I dont mind samsung bloatware because some not most users will find ... more Agreed. Hard to believe that Xiaomis are much better than Samsungs, even when bloatware is considered. I don't think anybody makes use of pre-installed Hancom and Microsoft apps (because most people tend to use PDF files instead of word documents). Having 2-3 pre-installed browsers, 3 app stores (Google, Samsung and Amazon), 4 Facebook apps, 7 Hancom apps, 9-10 Microsoft apps, other Samsung apps such as S Health, Galaxy Gear (which I believe nobody buying a Samsung phone at this price point buys a smartwatch) etc are too much imho. Google apps are a bit ok since they are at least apps that we use on a daily basis. I'm totally satisfied with the barebones setup of my phone. Only a very few pre-installed apps that can be disabled to my liking and replaced with better alternatives of my choice.

Minu, 14 Dec 2022You're welcome, my friend. I remember how Samsung was advertising something called &qu... more Well man thats correct. I dont mind samsung bloatware because some not most users will find several of their apps better than apps by google. I prefer google over samsung just because of a less bloatware and a lot faster device with more ram to use (no fake virtual ram) and more disk space for relevant apps. But i mind samsung bloatware since most of their low end phone if a 150-300 eur devices (can be called low end is discutable their are way costlier than competition which for 1/3 or even a half price output a lot better specced device those which are not killed by brand name and heavy costly marketing which promotes even a low grade phones as a quality ones). Just an example: J3 2016 started at 99 euros which was last samsung phone made under 100. But yes as i told several times on theses pages i mean GSM Arena any phone and brand should come as a pure android experience just promting for their own UI apps just like samsung brownser, samsung clocks, samsung notes ,samsung calculator, samsung clocks etc where same app by google and mandatory one (one which is part of the OS and cant be deleted or disabled) is already there. In other words forcing customers to have something they already have there is bad. It could be nice for example but is not possible if company like Samsung should settle with google and make their apps mandatory where same apps by google wont be there. I.E. Samsung phones will come with only samsung brownser excluding google chrome. Or Xiaomi devices will come with MI brownser excluding google chrome etc. But having doubled apps is just a big no.

CptPower, 13 Dec 2022 Honestly thank you. Kudos to you my friend. You're welcome, my friend. I remember how Samsung was advertising something called "Turbo Speed Technology", pretending their phones are much faster than Xiaomi phones with better specs at less than half the price back in the day (in case you noticed it in their YouTube channels) when I bought my Galaxy J3 in 2016. It turned out to be useless since Samsung pushed so much bloatware with each update to the point that my phone only gave me around 300MB end user storage. The same thing would most likely happen with this phone. Also agreed on how much of a storage hog bloatware can be. My Nokia 8 with 64GB of storage has surprisingly more end user storage than my colleagues' Samsung phones (including the A52s, which is a phone loved by GSMArena trolls with nothing special in particular, and most other A series phones or the S series phones) that have twice or more storage than mine. Sad that Samsung is just a brand that became ruined by its own reputation. No wonder this phone would come with a much slower eMMC storage and terrible battery life. Reminds me of Microsoft's SysMain where it ends up slowing down Windows laptops atrociously when it claims to improve performance.

Sin, 13 Dec 2022Ok Virtual ram only makes very small difference At least there is the opinion too use it as... more Well thats exactly. For a year of 2023 i would expect all phones comes with at least 128GBof storage othervise there will be a problem along with at least 6GB of ram. Anything less than that would be a problem. Many UIs cost a lot of disk space maybe new Xiaomi MIUI will cost even more we have to see but 6GB is way too much on their starter phones. Rest is as you said. If it was my company i would give people an option to install what they want and what they need even if it would take 10-15 more minutes on a first time setup. But forcing people to use and have things they will never use and they dont need is a big no.

CptPower, 13 Dec 2022Well man to be honest Virtual Memory isnt that great as it looks. Its simmilar thing like Ol... more Ok Virtual ram only makes very small difference At least there is the opinion too use it as a feature Realistically this smartphone needs more system ram in the first place yeah Samsung OneUl skin and OS size really most be a huge problem on storage & ram I have also said I wish people could just choose what Android version there smartphone comes per-installed with but tech companies don't give us any choices Samsung seems too be one of the worsened as I heard it's very hard too root there smartphones and you can't custom ROM a Samsung phone as they lock the boot loader for the os

Its simmilar thing like Old PC had a turboboost feature. You know you have it but the difference was almost zero. This going to be same. Its like wearing coat when raining but that coat is made from materials which makes it wet and you get wet too. So it wont keep you warm for long once it gets wet. Samsung Heavy skin is another story. Costing like 6GB which is way too much for a phone with 2GB of disk space where android cost around 14GB UI another 6 and you are left with 10GB for apps. You can forget on games and you can forget on most apps after 2 years of use.

Minu, 12 Dec 2022Perfectly said. That's why I'm 100% satisfied with my current phone, despite being s... more Honestly thank you. Kudos to you my friend.

Vikass17, 11 Dec 2022 Tougher enemies? A22 ? Manin other words bloatware is a bloatware and any UI have plenty of that. Companies shoudnt force its customers. They should give most basic android experience to not fill disk space and ram with useless things and who like company bloatware shouldnt be forced to have it but install on its own.

With price point of 105/€100 in mind The hardware look's reasonable If 6gb ram I dislike the base version P35 processor ok I think The use of virtual ram (extra 4gb ram )definitely a very good feature too have as a opinion The problems start with system requirements of Android 12 needing a whooping 6gb ram real ram hog I have heard Samsung OneUl skin is very heavy and the Samsung set of Apps will use storage space that could of been free for the user too use for there own chosen Apps I am not very familiar with Samsung software but it's one of the few smartphones that got a working 3 button navigation & apps draw drop down menu working out of the box I had a look at some Samsung phones they software is honestly well designed and put together from what I can tell The same can't be said for Google pixel it's very buggy and many difficulties with user interface and user unfriendness Just heavy skins dual version of every app along Microsoft crap as well Just not going run fast or smoothly and am guessing not being able remove many apps will be problems Samsung not got a good track record with battery's now at all I wish Samsung don't copy apple notch bs and be themselves but at least this has a changer in the box
