Why are people still buying these phones?
- They fake your pictures - i.e. replacing the real moon with a fake one;
- Full of vulnerabilities in the wild.. all the time;
- Shady connections with Asia
the list goes on and on.
- aydyn 4y agoThere are phones that fake the moon, but saying Samsung does that is a lie.
- theshrike79 4y agoIt just fakes it with AI :D
- sangnoir 4y agoIs there a top-tier phone model on the market that doesn't enhance photos in some way using AI? Not too long ago, there was an HN discussion on AI artifacts on iPhone photos thet are readily apparent when viewed from a large/hi-res display, despite looking "better" than non-enhanced pictures on the phone display.
- petre 4y agoMy partner took a photo of food not long ago, with her iPhone 14. After doing photography for years I told her a photo shouldn't look like that. Why? Because she took it with back lighting and the food looked just perfectly exposed with texture and eveything, just like food photos from magazines.
- anaganisk 4y agoI mean that's exactly the point of phone cameras, each year phone companies are pushing the edge to get the best on board image processing to do more and more with the limited camera hardware options, it would be naive to expect commercial level control (composing) on the camera and expect it to sell to masses.
- sbuk 4y agoThe problem here is that Samsung are marketing it as "look how amazing our 100x zoom is!" when in fact it's not 100x zoom, its 30x digital zoom and the results are misleading. The iPhone issue was pointing out how comparatively bad the iPhone processing is...
- rstat1 4y agoIts Samsung phones that were caught doing that. It is most certainly not a lie.

- lyu07282 4y ago> Shady connections with Asia Wtf??
- Smar 4y agoWell, Samsung is korean.
- sangnoir 4y agoThe humanity!
- worrycue 4y agoThey did give their workers cancer and denied it for 10 years. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/samsung-electronics-apology-sicknesses-deaths-of-workers-today-2018-11-23/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/samsung-electronics-apology-sic...
- petre 4y agoYup, South Korea has a cover up problem. They'd rather cover shit up than admit and take responsibility, all while responsibility is taken very seriously. That's also why bugs don't get fixed.
- lyu07282 4y agoI still don't understand what "shady connection with asia" means. Asia is a continent of 4.7 billion people and 55 countries.
- another_story 4y agoI'd wager all your electronics contain a majority if parts from Asia.
