@AndroidAuth When did technology media outlets become personal experience story blogs, for fuck's sake?! Who cares what you switched to and why. Tell your mother!

After over a decade with Android tablets, I’ve left for the iPad androidauthority.com/android-tablet…

@oneuios Must upgrade because Iphone 15 pro max suffered from an overheating

Samsung vs Apple! Who is doing the wide screen foldable better?

@travisfreeburg @VadimYuryev Well I’ve used top end flagships from Android! None of them offer the well integrated hardware and software experience as an iPhone ! Plus they outlast much better than Android by miles

@joelovtech @VadimYuryev User experience is not an exact science, it's an opinion.
Take anyone who has used android for the past 10 years and give them an iPhone, they are unlikely to tell you it's a "better experience" - you would be fortunate if they just said it's a "different" experience.

We’re about to see a LOT of old Intel Mac users finally switch to Apple Silicon.
Conveniently right after Apple launched the $599 MacBook Neo.
The genius Apple Silicon Master Plan that I predicted back in 2020 is almost complete.
Last phase is mass Windows user conversion.

Apple has announced that MacOS 27 will not support Intel based Mac's.

@travisfreeburg @VadimYuryev Apple isn’t just about brand appeal but it’s about a better user experience!

@VadimYuryev "mass windows user conversion"
My friend, windows users are corporate users. Everyone else uses tablets, their phone, or whatever old laptop they've had for 8 years. There's simply no reason to switch to apple other than for fashion/brand appeal.
All anyone needs is a browser

@UniverseIce Neither as these colors aren’t classy on a premium device

If it is optional, do you think the iPhone 18 Pro looks good in light purple or dark purple?

@Dhwaj35437 @Phonenurd What do you mean innovation? Putting larger capacity batteries and 1 inch sensors?
English
@Phonenurd Idk why you are behind the innovating brands
These are the most innovative brands without this ....

It’s a crying shame that you still can’t use the 3.5x telephoto hardware of the Vivo X300 Pro or Ultra in apps like Instagram or Snapchat. 🙄
What is the point of engineering world-class hardware if you won’t let developers actually access it? Expensive glass shouldn't be restricted to just the native camera app.

@shadowspank1 @WorkaholicDavid @SamsungUS The product will be supported by the company that sells it. I know I can buy an Apple product and walk into any of the hundreds of stores to get amazing service. Samsung’s service is trash. The meat of the story is if you have a customer, you should take care of them.
English
That's it.
I'm *NOT* buying any more Samsung products ever again.
@SamsungUS has failed yet again, and their customer service is beyond pathetic.
Your product has a fundamental flaw, and you have ZERO respect towards paying customers.
I'm not stupid enough to buy a fucking $1,100 vacuum, waste EVEN more money on a pathetic $150 mop attachment just to break it on purpose.
You have ONE more chance to make this correct, Samsung.
"We noticed signs of damage on the unit" NOT SHIT SHERLOCK! If there was no damage, WHY would I message you???!!

@smasithick @SamsungIndia @jagograhakjago Apple would’ve just replaced the device. First, you need to stop promoting Samsung devices

🚨 Update 4 - Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera Issue. Worst Experience Ever.
Today was something else.
@SamsungIndia sent a Tech Expert from ~300km away to the service centre. First of all, kudos to him for the effort 👏🏻
But honestly… this entire process is unnecessary.
@SamsungMobile should’ve simply:
➡️ Taken back my device
➡️ Provided a replacement
➡️ Done internal analysis later
Instead… even after escalation, the case is still with the same team and now a second round of testing.
I reached the service centre at 6:30 PM on Friday. A team of ~5 people (service centre + expert) joined.
They literally searched for a similar red neon lighting condition like my crane comparison tweet. Found a location on the highway.
And yes… we all went there.
📸 Testing done with:
• My device
• Demo unit
• Another fresh S26 Ultra
Shot multiple samples at 10x.
👉🏻 Result?
10x performance was BAD. Clearly visible.
Then came the usual steps:
• Checked April update
• Verified Galaxy Store apps
• Cleared camera cache
• Tested with default settings
They:
• Took multiple logs again
• Captured multiple samples
• Documented everything
This entire process took ~2.5 hours
We got back to the service centre around 9 PM.
Let me be clear:
✅ Service centre staff were supportive
✅ I was fully cooperative from Day 1
But this whole process?
❌ Waste of time and energy
❌ Unnecessary repetition
❌ No focus on actual resolution
Samsung India made a premium customer with a ₹1,59,999 premium device stand on the roadside at night doing test shots.
Let that sink in.
Even worse, The results today were worse than what I captured 2 weeks ago
So to all those saying:
"it’s not real" / "faulty testing"
👉🏻 Now it’s verified in front of Samsung’s Tech Expert
And during testing, we found another issue:
⚠️ While switching lenses:
• 2x → 3x → Viewfinder becomes darker
• 3x → 5x → Even darker
Why is it degrading like this? 🤔
Shouldn’t it improve with better aperture?
Now what next?
All logs + samples → sent to Head Office. They’ll analyze… and "decide later"
👉🏻 Still NO mention of replacement
At this point:
This is not support.
This is harassment + turning a consumer into a testing rat.
Samsung,
I did everything you asked.
Shared logs.
Shared samples.
Visited multiple times.
Even tested LIVE with your expert.
👉🏻 Issue is proven.
Now it’s your responsibility to act.
Samsung,
This is unacceptable.
➡️ Replace my device immediately.
Worst experience ever.

Update 3 - Galaxy S26 Ultra Camera Issue 🚨 I received a call today from @SamsungIndia support. They said they’ve analyzed the logs and found no issues!? Despite sharing all required samples, logs, and details, they are not ready to accept the issue. @Wvisioncreation also reviewed my post and confirmed the abnormality. Now, the concern is shifting towards questioning how I captured the photo 🙄 They mentioned things like, "Maybe there was handshake", "That could affect the output", "Not sure how you captured it". I had to explain clearly, I’m not an average user. I’ve been in the tech space for years and followed a proper, consistent testing scenario. Even from the EXIF data, it’s evident, - Both S26 Ultra & vivo X200 Ultra had identical parameters - Only ISO differed, which itself explains the output difference Still, they are not accepting it. Now, they’re assigning another "Tech Expert" and asking me to surrender the device at the service centre for further analysis. I clearly told them, - This is my primary device - Switching devices isn’t easy (banking apps, social accounts, etc.) - GPay limits transactions (₹5000 for 24 hrs after device change) I even requested a spare device during this period. Denied. So now I’m forced to arrange a spare device myself. I informed them about my travel plans, so the current plan is, - Submit device on Friday - They’ll keep it for 1 day analysis - Return by Saturday Honestly, this feels like a very long and unnecessary process. For a ₹1,59,999 flagship device, For a loyal customer upgrading every year, I expected, Immediate replacement + backend analysis. But the response I got, "This is the process, even for a premium device." This is how "Premium Service" is handled in India for a Premium Device & Premium Customer 🙄 Totally disappointed. Let’s see how this goes next…🤞🏻

Apple could start charging $3/month for iMessage and I don't think they'd lose a single customer.

@cam5442 @MarketPalmer_ Glad you dumped that gay retard. Non iPhone users are just barbarians amongst us.
English
Seriously just stop..
I HATE when Windows Laptop vendors sacrifice user experience for a couple of bucks from McAfee and Dropbox..
THIS is why people buy MacBooks
English
The first one was well deserved because why are you jumping on stage and grabbing me like that wtf

@immasiddx iPhone 🔥The name that spells money luxury and grandeur ! The grand daddy of all Smartphones!

@theonecid Def Snapdragon but Samsung phones and the UI isn’t smooth and free from choppiness even if it is SD
English
@VerdeSelvans Use UAPP for bit perfect audio, plus AKG doesn’t support 44Khz sample rate
English
@yoboigucci2 @AndroidDev Android version has to be same across all phones if they want to achieve that plus the hardware as well
English
@AndroidDev 17th iteration.
Still can’t beat iPhone in basic things like video recording quality and better 3rd party app optimization.
Shame on you. You can’t do your job properly.
Android 17 my ass. Never work, stay lazy. Keep the OS same at its core. Pathetic. Be ashamed
