Actually, no, I've never owned a Samsung, lol ๐Ÿ˜‚. HTC, then Asus, then another Asus, then Xiaomi, and now another Xiaomi.

Samsung or Apple, that's mostly a US thing. In Europe, we use whatever we can, Moto, Xiaomi, Samsung, Asus, Honor, Vivo, TCL... whatever the operator offers that has the best performance vs. price value ๐Ÿ˜‚.

Huh. Seems to only be me that buys phone in store then. EU too. Iโ€™m on Apple, but my family is a mix of Apple and Samsung.

Eastern Europe to be more exact... but I have talked to people from Western Europe, most of them take whatever the operator offers and is a good compromise between price and performace. Currently, Xiaomi seem like the best choice regarding this and stability/reliability.

A fatter phone is shitty. You really want to split hairs there.

Depends on your kinks I guess, I happen to like BBWs ๐Ÿคฃ.

To each their own I suppose ๐Ÿคฃ

My point, it's it's a downgrade for most people and you can replace the battery at a shop for$10 in labor (or dyi should you choose) if you want to keep the phone.

Yeah, that is true to be honest. The battery thing might be blowing it a bit out of proportion, but the charging/data connector, that is OK IMO.

Yes the lightning shit was bullshit.

It never really gained popularity, just too expensive as a standard, and USB 3.0 was cheap, available and offered good transfer speeds, so ๐Ÿคท...
