killamch89 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 This is the brand new version of the A72 with a 90hz display along with a whole host of features. What are your thoughts about this mid-range flagship Samsung device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Looks good to me though I am kind of skeptical about it being a good model for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most midrange phones can crush most mobile games quite easily and have ample battery to do it so there's no worries. There are cheaper alternatives such as the POCO phone if Samsung phones are too expensive for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Yes I do have one xiaomi and the realme both seems to be pretty good models for 6GB RAM variants. I feel samsung with low RAM than that a bit backwards on that note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Actually the Samsung a5 and a8 had water and dust resistance, but Samsung removed it when they came out with with the A70 a50 series! they brought it back with these new A series phones!

skyfire Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 I remember the Note series of the Xiaomi had similar feature of the current samsung series. Now a days the note series of the xiaomi has crossed long miles and it's premium phone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact, most Chinese Android manufacturers copy a lot of Samsung features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying 😛 At times they might have to cut the cost down by removing what they had since the last gen phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Redmi series has stopped selling the charger,, which is a bad thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an issue Samsung has always had, they remove and re-add features years later as if it's something new to the platform.

Sony is the only manufacturer that hasn't jumped on the bandwagon - At least not yet. Another bit of positive news is that Sony mobile division has started to make some profit in the last year so Sony will gain some more traction.

skyfire Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Sony does have their own app store inside and they ditched the google play in few of the models but that was in past. Now a days they focus on strong body phones that are premium. we never know when they would become apple like in near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough, Sony does still have that app store but nobody hardly uses it so they hardly support it. Sony will probably stay in this role for the next couple of years but they may go the route of Apple sometime in the future as all companies are greedy.

skyfire Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 Yeah and the need to go walled garden also exists because that way they reduce the too many phones in one year problems. Apple releases one or two phones the max and their work remains consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony on the other hand, uses Android, has to depend on Qualcomm for chips among other things so they can't follow in Apple's footsteps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Sony however has the custom android UI so they are editing a lot of their own in house too. It's just that sony keeps those things open and apple does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
