Good photos and the battery lasts quite a while too compared to my other phones I've had.
Overall it's great hardware with good photos and terrible software for me. I'll probably never buy it on a phone again because they're evolving in the way I'd rather not have them evolve.
They have their own unremovable:
- contacts
- calendar
- browser
- phone
- messages
- app store
Makes me feel like they're stealing all my info if I would use it. Besides a Google account they also want you to use a Samsung account which ( honestly ) makes the whole phone more confusing ( especially to older people like my parents ).
But yeah. Good photos and great battery life. I've got no real complaints of the tab s5 tablet which I use when travelling and streaming shows to the tv otherwise. Though I'd have to see if the newer tablets are as much of a dumpster fire software wise like their phones.
Side note: I even had somebody come up to me with their phone "because I work in IT". The default setting of a Samsung phone was to have the lock button activate bigsby rather than lock the phone. There's a setting somewhere to change that. But it definitely felt agressive pushing of bigsby that nobody ( at least around here ) uses/wants to use... Maybe it's different in other countries?
They can't even show me the store on a language I want to see it in. They just arbitrarily decide I should be looking at it in french. Despite having my profile specify English. Despite having my entire launcher on English. French is the only language I'm allowed to see the store in.
And they wonder why i never buy shit from their store....
Getting people to come inside and have a look is a good strategy if they can make sense of what you're selling and under which conditions. Entering a shop with shiny pictures and everything explained in Arabic means I won't be spending money there as I can't figure out under which conditions I'm buying anything.
It's not like you, the end user, know which language you prefer.
I can get behind them doing an estimated guess based on location, but I'd rather have it as a pop up when I enter the site.
" Hey, we see you're coming from Switzerland so we've set the language to German. Click continue to proceed in the German or click one or the other languages to switch!
Thanks for visiting".
I honestly don't understand why they make it so hard. And every time it looks like they fixed it. A few months after somebody decided it's working a little too well and reverts it back. Because screw the minorities ( multi lingual countries ) where it doesn't work.
Ironically I've heard that in Brussels they get everything in Flemish by default, and in flanders we get everything in French. It's like they're deliberately getting it wrong.
