    I bought exactly one Samsung phone in my life. It was mostly fine but all the uninstallable crapware made me never want to buy another one.

    Korea is extremely class conscious and people treat people differently based on perceived wealth. iPhone being considerably expensive than Samsung offerings in Korea is an instant wealth signifier and having an iPhone means you are perceived as upper rich class than those pesky poor Samsung, which is now associated with old people or who couldn’t afford an iPhone.

    Bruh. It’s not surprising though, Samsungs just suck and it was a mistake on Google’s part to allow them to continue representing the brand in any meaningful way to the normies while all the nerds had the best of both worlds on pixels

    EDIT: why even downvote me lol I like android (at least before 12 🤮), just not samsung

      I think Google deserves a lot of blame for Android’s problems, but Samsung’s failures are their own.

        True, ‘material you’ is Google’s own disaster and honestly the company has been downhill since the Pixel 2
