So, for my next smart phone, should I get a galaxcy note 8 or what?! Which mobster company is better than Apple?! Or,Which smart phone company is not a bunch of crooks?
Depends upon what you want.
Both phones will serve you well.
If you want to KNOW that your financial, personal and business information is kept confidential then your only choice is Apple.
I've had very good luck with Blu. My current one is the BLU Life One X2 Mini.
64 GB onboard storage (also supports external micro-SD)
4 GB RAM
8 core processor
Supports LTE (including band 12 LTE)
Dual SIM
etc.
The key advantage is the price: normally $179. (much better than $800-$900 for an iphone 8 or $600-$700 for a Samsung Galaxy S8+)
That’s the ultimate question isn’t it? It’s easy to say Apple sucks, it’s an evil company etc (which believe me I don’t completely disagree with such assertions), but what’s better?
Samsung that sells exploding batteries?
Google that sells/maintains an OS that can’t be/isn’t updated regularly across the myriad of third party devices that run it? And it’s own phone that won’t receive updates a year past the purchase date?
Windows/Microsoft that can’t make a smartphone that can run any app?
Ultimately I’ve become convinced that if I’m going to use a smartphone (and I’m so dependent on it now it’s not feasible to believe otherwise) I’m going to have to keep using Apple. Mainly for security concerns.
But I sure as heck don’t like it, not one bit, believe me. I had the worst experience earlier this year with AppleCare Plus, the “Genius” Bar and their phone tech service. An experience so bad it would make your toes curl. But no one can beat an iPhone (that works). Just pray it never breaks down that’s all I can say. Cuz you’ll be screwed trust me.
Hell if I know. You will have to pick your own poison. I have had Samsung Motorola, and HTC... are they crooked? They all seemed like a better value than Apple.
What happened to our resident Apple booster, Swordmaker? I guess I will put out the signal for him.
In terms of performance the iPhone 8 smokes the Samsung 8. Go to YouTube and type iPhone 8! Vs Samsung Geek Bench. The price difference verethe phones is about the same.
Oh I updated up to iOS 11.0.3 and all my software is working fine.
