IceColdPhone, 23 Apr 2026Ordering from giztop for the first time, hopefully the price is final and no customs shenaniga... moreI bought from Giztop couple of years back, didn't have to pay anything extra to customs. They usually declare the package lower value or some sh*t as per their own website.
At the time, they were offering a 2yr warranty and the phone was being sold from their EU warehouse.
This is why I asked you whether they are still offering a 2-year warranty or not.
TradingShenzhen also ships certain phones from their EU warehouse.
Why photos is so bad?
Anonymous, 22 Apr 2026go get urself a vivo thenI don't like thr limiting factor of 3 cameras systems unless the telephoto is like Sony or Xiaomi with continuous hardware zoom.

I regretted not buying the xiaomi 14 ultra after discovering the horrible picture quality of my samsung 3x sensor...
The Xiaomi 15 and 17 ultra have downgraded their ultrawide sensors in comparison to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, that's why i didn't bite the bullet yet to change the phone.
Im undecided between Xiaomi 17 Ultra, Oppo Find x9 Ultra and maybe the new Sony Xperia 1 VIII if it's finally good this year.
Nevertheless im buying one of those 3 as Samsung has been stuck with the same crappy 10mp 3x sensor for the past 3+ generations...

Samsung specifically provided free screen replacements for the Galaxy S22 series.

The new subpixel arrangement offsets the lower screen resolution quite successfully.
Stop comparing by blindly reading spec numbers.

I definitely missed fast charging when I was daily driving the Pixel 7 Pro or the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

2 warranty problem I mean is, that sometimes you have to pay for shipping, tho not always, just like with tax, depends on product or company, where sometimes the price is already calculated into the product... after all, free shipping is nice, even if its across half the planet...
YUKI93, 24 Apr 2026Sony still finds a way to bring new hardware for the camera. Try saying that to Samsung. 🤷

>>> A few years back, weren't you guys bragging about 4k display despite the lower brightness levels compared to other flagships?
Then the company decided to lower the resolution, suddenly lower resolution is cool?
Same guys hated the Pixel binned sensors on other brands, and bragged how a native 12Mp main camera on Sony was the better choice.
Then the company decided to add more megapixels, suddenly pixel binned sensors are cool?

I didn't say Huawei wasn't #1 before the vouchers; I said the their top customer is the government. Go read the wiki on them, it says it in the first paragraph. Since my outdated article isn't valid here's a 2025 article that says everything I did. LOL Go cry. Just check out the TITLE. lol.

Their #2 customer happens to be Chinese citizens who have been given credits and vouchers to buy domestic goods over the iphone [iphones are always excluded from the vouchers]. The voucher/credit programs have gone on since at least 2020. Here's a 2023 article about it.

I get that they're trying to go for that camera look (which is kinda cool), but the circle design just doesn't work with 4 different sized sensors, it's looks really unbalanced
