But one point to clarify: this is when the S21 is not running user apps because when you load up both phones, the OP15 bas waaay more processing power and the OP15 is much more responsive.

        Also, the OP15 is not loaded with apps and does not have any questionable apps which are dragging the system down.

        OneUI became significantly smoother after version 7. It wasn't like this before.

            Even the 'fast and smooth' Oneplus 15 has judder when swiping between homescreens, when my S21 does not. And this is just one example. 'Your system is in optimal condition', anyone? Pathetic

              The good response from the S26 series and the quick launch of the A37/57 probably helped.

                  Tech Geek04, 19 hours agoYou'll still criticise Sammy no matter what lolBecause Samsung still offers crappy overpriced flagships with 6 year old hardware. lol

                  Otherwise I can praise them as much as you want on the subject of Smart TVs, soundbars and SSDs.

                            Samsung is rich. It won't die. I know this is painful for haters.

                              I know Sony is punching the air rn since they exited the memory market a while ago.

                                  Of course their smartphones are still profitable, they haven't changed in the past 5 years, yet their price keeps going up.
