The good things in Chinese smartphones are their price and that they sometimes have clean Android version without bloatware. Why do vendors like Samsung make their ugly buggy shells and pre-install software I don't need? Do they think they have better designers and developers that Google has? They are horribly wrong. Stop pretending that you are making something unique and maybe I will consider buying a non-chinese phone next time.
- akmarinov 7y agoThey do it do differentiate their phones. If all phones look the same and basically have the same hardware - why bother buying Samsung, when a cheap Oppo is the exact same phone? Then Samsung won't make lots of money. This way you can have Samsung fanboys that'll swear that Samsung stuff is better and will keep buying it.
- _trampeltier 7y agoWrong. I buy the Samsung Notebecause it has a pen. And I also hate all the Samsung Android Addons.
- akmarinov 7y agoThere are other manufacturers that so pens as well...
- aianus 7y ago> If all phones look the same and basically have the same hardware - why bother buying Samsung, when a cheap Oppo is the exact same phone? Because Samsung is made outside of China and will not be tariffed.
- akmarinov 7y agoCountries outside of the US exist.

- innocentoldguy 7y agoDoes TouchWiz == value though? I don't find that to be the case.
- Iwan-Zotow 7y agoSamsung still sold for some premium relative to chinese competition - thus, what they provided as a package has (maybe perceived) value
- TheAdamAndChe 7y agoIf you want a bloat-free phone that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, at Android One phones. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_One
- dsypa 7y agoMy experience with Android One phones from Xiaomi is that they have no bloat when they are released (probably because they have to have no bloat for them to be certified by Google) but then they keep sneaking bloat with every little update they make.
- TheAdamAndChe 7y agoI have a Nokia 6.1 and my wife has a Nokia 7.?, and this has not been my experience. We've had no bloat, it's been great.
