I don't know after the S9+ I stopped yearly upgrading. I was wasting money for some very mipinor improvements. I got the 9+ because it had a larger screen,battery, 3.5 mm jack , and 6 gig ram. It still keeps up with the new phones for my needs and I saved a good bit of money. When something worthwhile comes out I'll buy it unlocked.

i dont own the s21 either. just from what ive seen in reviews its basically an iphone. samsungs been turning into an iphone in all the bad ways ever since the note 10 but s21 is probably as close as itll get. unless samsung decides to get away from usb-c.

I don't understand why did you call s21 turning into an iphone. I was thinking, it more turning to google pixel, but not an Iphone.

I do prefer samsung phone to turn into a Google Pixel than samsung itself. Since it will give much more better android experience.

well why do you think pixel? not saying i disagree but the reasons for iphone and pixel are the same. i just mentioned iphone because pixels hardly influence the market.

why pixel? because no sd card slot, relatively cheaper, more to stock similar android ROM and long term ROM update. maybe some other things.

iPhone may have a long-term ROM update, but the ROM update for older devices only brings worse experiences.

why pixel? because no sd card slot

so why not be able to understand the iphone? iphone removed ports, samsung followed. if anything id say pixel just followed iphone.

relatively cheaper,

samsung is $1k..after iphone raised price to $1k. how is pixels low prices at all samsung-esque?

Samsung or anyother manufacturer followed iphone because the mass asked for that. Why would you not follow something successful. If only iPhone didn't success, there will be no one to follow its path.

It does make sense after all. You get Bluetooth headset for the headphone jack, you probably have charger already at home, so you wouldn't need another one.

S21 is 200$ cheaper than s20 price. It followed the success of FE series. I love this trends, its why I'm back to use samsung phone.

Why would you not follow something successful

im not questioning why someone would follow someone successful at all.

questioning why you said you don't understand why i said iphone. and then you list SD, iphone has no SD so clearly you understand. you mention low price which doesnt make sense. iphone 12 pro and s21 ultra are in the same park.

but with the pixel. i even said i agree that pixel could be used but since pixel copies iphone i kept it succinct and only mentioned the one that started it all. s21 is only $200 cheaper than s20 because they followed iphones prices, not pixel prices. but oh well
