“Not being content with bloated apps, Samsung (of built-in exploding battery infamy) embraces bloated hardware.”
Please. You obviously are an anti-Samsung spammer.
Yet I battled with swordy over the Note and Note 2 when they came out.
I bought their products for years, until they took a wrong turn in their design philosophy.
You seem to have some fantasy that other people don’t judge products by different features than you. This fallacious view on your part causes you to attribute criticisms based entirely on hardware feature to personal bias against brand names.
If Samsung went back to offering the features which attracted me again I would buy their products again.
