I absolutely despise hole punch and notches.I personally have never used a phone with a hole punch or notches for this reason!

You mean the company that made Spreadtrum chips? Sad. Another competitor gone.

Samsungs are overpriced vs Xiaomi and other cheap phonemakers.

Pricing should consider for indians also . 13$/yr is a fare price india . more than that will not work . Amazon Prime and KZfaq are in this range .

I'd still prefer punch holes any day as it's small and not distracting unlike moving parts that can brake easily given the worse situation

That was a good option but durability and water resistant was the bigger issues with these models, this is why they don't get released anymore

Even if you hide the camera, your mic is always going to be used with google

Who spies with camera? Location, mic, messages, etc are used to spy

They know this also. Thats why its important to NOT be brand loyal.

For me, the charger was the last straw. Goodbye Samsung.

man you want a winning horse out of race nice foldable are the future only barrier is price

I'd love to hear what exactly makes the current lineup of S21 series phones inferior because Samsung are neglecting them for foldables

@@vkAwesomee Foldable efforts by Samsung will destroy Samsung mobile.

It's 2021.... You really think a missing headphone jack is the reason a phone isn't selling well, then I don't know what to tell you....I heard Lenovo laptops are gathering dust on shelves because they don't have disk drives SD card readers.....I'd give you that if: 1. Samsung aren't already the leading manufacturer of removable storage. They would make MORE money from phones keeping their SD reader. Samsung removing that particular feature from their flagships should tell you something about just how many people are buying these SD cards 2. 128GB of high speed storage is now a default on even the cheapest of budget phones. If expandable storage was somehow a purchase driver, I want you to look up how many phones from any manufacturer actually have it...

The removed charger I make a living selling phones. If I told you how many people sell off their 2 year old phones, 3 year old phones, 4...with the charger and headphones (which you've probably not even noticed have not been shipping with any phone since 2017) still sealed and unused....it would probably blow your mind

TL:DR None of the things you've listed above have anything approaching a reason why a manufacturer's market share could decline. I don't have Samsung's or Apple's hundreds people marketing departments that have decades of data driving their sales decisions but even I can point out how all the above are non-issues. At most, they are personal gripes of yours...which I understand because I used to have gripes with the SD thing myself

@@mikeyschmitt8958 LG did many things wrong despite having a stable and all rounder device. Their list is long.

Also Samsung's mid range phones are just way lower in quality/performance compared to any other Chinese manufacturers

@@hani_issa This is why they profit and it's better for Samsung long-term.. they get to keep spending billions on R&D. The Chinese government won't keep supporting their companies too much at this rate just like with Huawei and some of their new EV companies.

Nope- after S10 series they adopted anti-consumer approach of removing features like headphone jack, micro-SD and even charger. Furthermore they produce flagships of lower quality- plastic back on base model S21 is simply unacceptable for the price. They are also lowering screen resolutions, putting worse chips in next gen phones (A71-SD 730, A72- SD 720G) etc.

Don't forgot all the bloatware. Its confusing for customers when the phone is shipped with three different calendars, photo apps etc.

I swear, it's only 4 people world wide who are aware of this.

@@Baxtexx and pre-installed WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram etc. which can't even be deleted. This is unacceptable on every phone that costs more than like $300.

Tbh most people don't care about the Exynos chips and they're not as bad as people on the internet make it to be. In fact this year it's the opposite. The Exynos 2100 is really good while the QSD888 has overheating issues in just every single phone that uses this chip.

The real reasons are consumer unfriendliness, , whether pricing policy, chargers, accessories etc.

This is true , however , the walled garden does have some benefits , as 10 android and galaxy boy now using apple stuff , looking at the current status quo , i cannot see me leaving the dark side any time soon .

I mean that bang for the buck comes with a caveat, no? Xiaomi's UI isn't the best out there and my friends say that they have ads everywhere (like lock screen, on homepage, on some widgets and even in the settings). Ads are annoying but what's more annoying and potentially dangerous is the constant tracking required to serve personalized ads. We already have giants like Google and Facebook tracking us on their platforms (which can be prevented by using alternative services) but such ad delivering trackers which can be potentially nefarious is much more dangerous specially when it comes built in and embedded on your phone. Imagine how easy it is to steal data in such scenario. Unfortunately not everyone can install custom roms or has ability to understand it. Maybe I am missing something. Would love to have a discussion on this.

If you where coming from a note 9 , everything after is a downgrade in my book sadly.

@@mikldude9376 note 9 was the perfect flagship that Samsung has ever made. It has everything and compromises on nothing.

I have the S20 5G (for that 4Gb of ram) and my girlfriend has the S21 and Mine still moves faster. S20's bis downfall is the battery for the Exynos variants, otherwise, great phone, no reason to upgrade

@@Lupu-Valentin Yeah I have the S 20+ and there was zero reason to upgrade if it was an upgrade at all because anyways s20 is a better phone with expandable storage more ram and honestly I’d like the slightly curved screen it makes for a thinner phone which is easier to hold in my hand .

@@jejunamja Exacly, the chip and battery autonomy slightly better are the only things better, too little to upgrade, and I love the curved screen and I am seriously considering switching to something else if the S22 will be on the same path. I feel like nornal and plus variants are cheap models with a promising name. Olny the Ultras have great specs, the rest is just good at a premium price. Honestly I feel like Apple is a viqble alternative right now, I kind of like the 12 series

Nothing to do with price and everything to do with devaluation of the galaxy slab phones by lowering specs and stripping features from the note 10 onwards, Samsung has raped the crap out of the galaxy models and then for a real kick in the goolies , removed the charger and any sort of buds in the box , and then for the final upper cut deleted the note from sale to upsell the fold models. Apple sold phones with similar pricing and some of pro models are even slightly more , but apple sold more iPhones and is expecting to sell even more this year . Clearly Samsungs slab phone marketing decisions in the last couple of years has backfired big time.

They lost a chance to promote a comparison of the most basic iPhone with Samsung's midrange topper to show how feature rich a way cheaper phone can be. Basic S and Note models like that shouldn't exist

Foldable will never take off.

@@neelj5155 As I write this on my z fold 2 that I'll be upgrading to 3, I doubt that they won't take off, they're just expensive for now. But being able to actually fill out a form on the go without pinching and scrolling the screen 20x is a gamechanger, not to mention much better media consumption.

And now not even an SD card slot. That's the final straw.

@@asmodeus9925 that wouldn't benefit the market, shame

Samsung wants to be apple so they raised the pricess which inturn killed them

@@maneesh2316 agreed. But Samsung phones are just as great if not better than Apple. BUT Samsung has many competitors in Android market, and Apple has none in iOS. So Apple can charge lots for great Hardware, but Samsung cant charge the same for better Hardware.

@@Fuzziefeelings Well then they should make a lot of money on only those areas where competition is less ( ie fold-ables) just like they used to do with ~S3-S7 days when competition was poor at top tier

If foldables become a thing, im pretty sure chinese brands can come up with competitive products asap

@@Fuzziefeelings the mistake you're making is that, most of Samsung's smartphone profits come from the mid-range/budget segment, that's where they're losing because they over price their phones, and they're stubborn about it, Xiaomi saw this gap and filled it. Easy peasy.

I think they're ugly, but not a deal breaker since they can be hidden with software.

@@leonidas14775 only hidden if you aren't using that section of the screen.

I don't think majority of people even notice the hole punch or cutouts. These just come off as overstated issues by tech enthusiasts.

i had a phone that has a fairly sized notch and then i bought a new one with a center punch hole that im still using up to this day. now i cant stand to look at that notch everytime i try to use it lol.. all im saying is; you'll get used to it ... i have the same negative thought about notches when it first came out..

I think if you're only doing things like vertical scrolling, video and pictures, it probably isn't a big deal. So in that sense, I agree that for a lot of people, getting used to it is probably adequate. For those of us who do more interesting things with our phones, like SSH, RDP/VNC, spreadsheets, word processing etc; it's not an aesthetic choice; any blemish gets in the way of being able to get stuff done, and hinders productivity because you either have to move content to see what you need to see, or you are making assumptions that could lead to critical mistakes.

1080p is great. Anything more is a waste of CPU/GPU and battery power. You don't see those pixels anyway, why bother rendering even more of them? Agreed on other points though.

@@martir.7653 not really, higher resolution is better for most content and you can have adaptative resolution. But let's assume 1080p is better, they are significantly cheaper and I don't see the savings passed to the customer

I have the s21 ultra and i have no clue what you are talking about lmao. Maybe the box is cheap but other then that the phone is premium,and funny enough is cheaper then my s8 in theory.

@@UnipornFrumm It's a good phone, but it didn't feel like they brought their A game this time. Normally Samsung is a slight step above the competition which could justify the extra $300. This year the other flagships were on the same level so unless you're looking for a specific feature Samsung doesn't seem as worth it. Personally I was starting to think maybe the FE and folds were the flagships now, but considering the news it seems like that isn't the case.

@@cizd or maybe everyone got better and there is only so much that can be done,you understand you can't improve something forever,i think the only improvement for the future is new battery chemistry

@@UnipornFrumm Half the problem is i think , Samsung did have a lot of long time customers , like me for example , the last phone i bought from Samsung was the hamburger with the lot Galaxy Note 9(and i still use it with my Iphone) , it had/has every feature you could think of except for the few of recent only features that have come to hand sets like , fast refresh and updated cameras and reverse wireless charging which in my book where not imperatives anyway .. However if you look at long time convenience features that many of us still use that Samsung has now omitted , and also now done away with the charger and and any form of buds , all of a sudden the Galaxys we once bought for having all the features and most of us where happy to pay a bit extra for ........ are gone ! I know the S21 Ultra is still a great phone , but compared to older model galaxys , it is much more spartan of features in some ways , apart from the dex and zoom , , it looks a lot like an iphone pro max the way it is equipped , and you can argue which one has the edge in features , both still have their own edge in certain ways , but i bought an iphone for the first time in my life ..... and it was samsungs strategy that did that . A couple of things i do like about the Iphone , the flat wide display , no curved edges to cause ghost touch or make it slippery to hold or to make it nearly impossible to buy a tempered glass screen that will stay on , it has the premium chipset regardless of what country i live in , also the 5 years of guaranteed updates even if i dont keep the phone adds value as i know i can keep it for the long haul if i want . Too add insult to Injury the omission of the note this year , and again it probably would have been less featured anyway , it is hard to make a case for buying a galaxy as many of us once would . Sorry for the long post.

@@mikldude9376 i had s8 an now s21 ultra,i have no clue what you walking about iphone also is missing a charger,and i will argue my old s8 has better softare then your iphone 12 with the 2021 ios version lmao. I know this because my sister gave me a iphone8 and is trash compared with samsung s8. Of course you dont have high refresh rate on note8,it has older tech lmao

I feel exactly the same. Ideally, someone would this year, bc my Samsung S8 is starting to be impaired. Has me considering the Sony Xperia 1 iii when it eventually drops in price, but Sony won't promise more than 2 generations of android updates...

@@SoftCrunch917 well it is a good phone. But the software support isn't good, maybe consider the Google pixel 6... But then UDC may be the next big thing next year

@@DomCobb1 Yup, it's honestly pathetic to release a phone in 2021 with that kind of support. Makes me feel like their smartphone division could be going the way of LG's...

I really couldn’t care less for UDC, especially if the quality goes backwards as is reported , which I’d say is a bit ironic i think , as samsung for years had a very average selfie cam until the last couple of models it improved heaps , but now apparently that quality is being sacrificed to just be trendy with an under display camera for those few that are offended by a small punch hole camera. It’s poor marketing decisions focusing on stuff that does not matter while crapping on the stuff that does that sees sales declining.

@@mikldude9376 Well that's u. Sooner or later when newer versions come out and you'll be using a phone with UDC tech. Pretty sure punch holes will die out when UDC tech comes out and gets better

To be honest, I don't find the plastic thing that much of a big issue. Most people i know that own the s21 phone immediately put case on nowadays.

@@TheNeroKennedy yeah . I am also actually fine with plastic back . But at 800$ you don't get any iconic features such as 2k screen , SD card .

Some are just complete scams . Like their A12 has Helio P35 at 12kINR ( 161$ ) . And other specs are also very bad

Why do you think pop-up cameras never took off? That was THE best security decision that was made in that year. I still use phones with tiny bezels so that way I can put a piece of electrical tape on the camera. Get a metal school hole punching tool and punch out the electrical tape OR a black painted window decal sticker people put on their sliding glass doors so their dogs don't run into the glass. Easy on, easy off. Or you could be like me and have the ability to open the phone up and disconnect the camera hardware. It's just a ribbon cable. You can still reseal the phone and leave the front camera inside the phone body.

I still need my camera. I'll tape it if I need to. I was afraid of under the screen cameras being used for mass surveillance

@@sethuca4129 you bet they'll do something with that tech. I've seen videos of people with the OnePlus 7 Pro that had the pop up camera in the frame that would pop up when they opened certain apps which strongly indicated that the app was controlling the camera when the camera wasn't triggered intentionally by them. Why do you think they also got rid of headphone jacks? There's something you can put in a headphone jack that can kill the microphones for a moment until you pull the object out of the headphone jack. without a headphone jack you can't use that knowledge or object in that moment.
