They give us those famously powerful and very hot Exynos /Tensor / modem chips that struggle to keep up, the explosive Note 7 and now Samsung removing features like S-Pen bluetooth on the S25U, S-Pen support on the Fold 7 and now restrict bootloader on OneUI 8. At least they don’t lie.
Keep yapping anyway.

He always goes off-topic since that year. Just to get more ad revenue or to virtue-signal.

jiyen235, 7 hours agoyour hatred for chinese companies and love for samsung is irrational. im not gonna waste furth… moreThis site needs to get rid of all of you Chinese corporate hype accounts. I don’t know why you think you’d get away with lying about the thinness of your phones? Did you genuinely think no one was going to measure them when they held the mand noticed the Samsung looks noticeably thinner? Chinese phone brands lies about everything. Ingress protection. Dust protection. size. This is why you can barely get your hands on them in western countries, as the west tends to have functional consumer protection.

I like watching Zack’s videos; as of right now, he’s my favorite Mormon YouTuber. He lovingly destroys expensive smartphones for research so none of us have to. I haven’t watched his videos lately, though – I did get kinda tired of him showing off his factory, but now that he’s back into destroying stuff, I might watch him again.

When Jerry pulled the Z7 backwards, I cringed. I don’t put too much on these tests but it is good to see the phone won’t easily bend.
One of main causes of damaged to the screen comes from the inside when heat damages the board or wires. The exposed wire rubs against the back of the screen and you get a black screen. It’s not the only reason for damaged screens, but it is probably responsible for many of the damages that happens out the blue. The wires are very delicate.

Lmao fact you say.🤣🤣 No, it’s not, you like it better, that’s a fact, and that’s perfectly fine. I wouldn’t claim OriginOS is better, but for me it is, and for many others it is, while for plenty of people One UI is simply the best, it is what it is. It’s completely subjective.
“Teams crashing, need to reinstall it to make it work again : https://i.imgur.com/Ou9MWGB.mp4″
Sure, I can see it, weird because I use it as well and it’s fine. It’s likely device specific. So, while am at it, I will ask. Which vivo device did you get, and why? Did you buy it, or it’s just a loaner device from someone you know? Just curious.
“OriginOS 5 doesn’t have a lot of customizations compared to OneUI 7..”
As a long time user of it, I can tell you that’s not true, you just aren’t a user of Origin OS, and are used to One UI, stick to what you like, but don’t tryna claim Origin OS is bad or not customizable enough, when that’s clearly not true.
“while Samsung one is nothing like those two.”
They separated it the same way, when they didn’t need to and their users never wanted this and disliked it when it got introduced. Thankfully you can turn it off on both devices.

No Vivo account should be needed to change the default launcher.
“Customizations” means I should be able to remove this useless origin kit tab, I can already access it elsewhere.
OriginOS 5 doesn’t have a lot of customizations compared to OneUI 7, for example on the lock screen: it’s always the same clock style with just 8 slightly different fonts, give me at the very least a vertical clock.
And the rest is basically system-wide colors, corner radius, apps icons, and a couple of cheap ‘dynamic effects’.
Also, OriginOS quick settings panel when separated is looking exactly like a cheap copy of the iOS one, while Samsung one is nothing like those two. And let’s not talk about “Origin island”.
https://i.imgur.com/tvwxeON.jpg
OneUI 7 is just better in every way, unmatched customizations (especially with Goodlock modules), more features (like Routines, Dex, QuickShare…), a more complete ecosystem integration, better AI (assistant, photos)…, all working nicely out of the box.
OneUI is superior to OriginOS, that’s a fact.

Well Zack gym would help a little.
But for a bend test you should call a Mariusz Pudzianovsky aka The Dominator and few other strongmans which would bend it in second.
And from Galaxy Z series we could get Galaxy Ash series.

For you, for me it is the flagship experience, when I switch to any of my other phones, I miss Origin OS.
“some Microsoft apps crash, like Teams (it worked for a bit)”
I use Teams as well, and some other Microsoft apps, they all work perfectly.
“need a Vivo account to change launcher”
Not exactly rocket science to register one, takes a couple of minutes, no it doesn’t require a chinese phone number.
“..can’t remove origin kit widgets tab from app drawer”
How, why is that a problem?
“notifications for some apps aren’t working great”
Autostart had to be enabled for them, and background power consumption management has to be put on high background power usage, which again takes a minute or so to do.
“nfc issues (google wallet gym pass nfc not working)”
That might be because google play services aren’t updated, which you should be able to update.
“not a lot customizations / can’t change assistant”
Not a lot of customization? On Origin OS? That’s just false, you may not have found where or how to customize it, but there is a lot.
“At least there is the option to have the quick settings panel to be something else than the iOS copy-pasted one. “
It’s nothing like iOS, and I personally prefer the notification panel to be separate from the Quick Settings. One UI also has it like that now btw.
“OneUI 7 is clearly superior, none of these issues, it work out of the box and has more features.”
Superior TO YOU.

OriginOS is usable but nothing flagship-like, after 2 weeks, I already have the following issues:
– can’t properly resize non Vivo widgets / can’t remove origin kit widgets tab from app drawer
– dark mode enabled but ugly white background on volume/quick settings panel in landscape while watching Netflix (flashbang while in the dark)
– some Microsoft apps crash, like Teams (it worked for a bit)
– notifications for some apps aren’t working great
– need a Vivo account to change launcher
– nfc issues (google wallet gym pass nfc not working)
– micts (circle to search) need setup again after update
– dynamic island, I mean origin island, only work with some specific Chinese apps, need to change package name to something compatible with it
– ai photo tools are slow and unreliable (mostly timeout error)
– not a lot customizations / can’t change assistant
– lot of configuration needed (notifications, permissions, remove unusable Chinese bloat…)
At least there is the option to have the quick settings panel to be something else than the iOS copy-pasted one. Mid-range software on flagship hardware…
OneUI 7 is clearly superior, none of these issues, it work out of the box and has more features.

DarlingYext, 17 hours ago“And it clearly a very subjective thing, different people have different experiences..&qu… moreTo be perfectly honest, after Samsung’s One UI, I think only Vivo’s Origin OS and Google’s UI on the Pixel would be something I would actually consider. The fluidity of the UI and multitasking on the new Vivo X Fold5 is just amazing, I wish Samsung would take inspiration from that.

This, I fully agree with. For me Samsung’s software isn’t the best, I much prefer vivo’s Origin OS, but I understand why people like One UI so much.

Very impressive for such a thin device. However, I am not optimistic about investing such a price on such a delicate new tech. Flip seems to be a better first adoption with half the price.

And it clearly a very subjective thing, different people have different experiences, look at people using iPhones, a lot of them say they are very satisfied, while others say they aren’t that good.
To answer your question, I’m currently using 3 phones like a maniac haha. I kept my s23 Ultra to use solely for gaming, as that takes a toll on the battery. I got the Fold 5 by mistake actually, my wife wanted to go from the iPhone 13 pro max to the 15 pro max but then reconsidered, as it was no noticeable upgrade for her. But it was too late, the phone was already ordered so we either had to accept the iPhone or choose another phone, and I chose the Fold5 for me. I was skeptical, as foldables for me seemed too fragile, but I also wanted to try one out really badly. And it worked out perfectly. The issue with Samsung (and Apple) are the atrocious cameras, so I bought a Xiaomi 14 Ultra last year, to use as a travel phone, got it at 600€ only. Great phone but crappy software and the battery doesn’t last even as much as the Fold. Now I traded in the 5 to get the 7, because the issues I had with the Fold5 were all fixed for me in the 7, i.e. the thickness and cover screen. The battery lasts me all day, sometimes even 1.5 days, charges in an hour, is just great. Is it overpriced? Absolutely. But that comes down to personal choice. If Honor or Vivo would have the same software and customer support as Samsung, then I would gladly switch to them as they have better hardware, but as of now, people need to look at the complete package. For me, personally, the software experience is more important than 1-2 hours of extra battery or a better telephoto camera. But that’s just me.
That’s why I said it’s very subjective and you can’t just blatantly say a brand has bad products just because you had bad experience. It’s the same with everything, cars, appliances, etc. Even a 200$ Ferrari can break down, doesn’t mean people won’t buy them anymore
