I'm not all that amped about Qualcomm silicon. I was glad when Samsung went in-house for the S6.
Qualcomm chips don't impress me at all.

It just assigned mobile number with my iPhone and asked if I want to use it with call forwarding which I said yes. Then when I go into my iPod I hit the number and enter a normal mobile / landline and it automatically the forward / pushes it through my phone. I didn't have to set up anything per se.
Works for me a treat.
A couple of snaps.
Wasn't insinuating anything, Samsung CEO Oh-Hyun Kwon did. He sent a letter to investors explaining Samsung’s smartphone business in 2016. It wasn't good.
Oversupply issues and intensified price competition means not selling.
And
Are you saying you or your sources know better than Samsung's CEO?
Android? I thought this was about Samsung s7 edge's performance in relation to the iPhone.
Don't own any apple or Samsung shares.
Do you?
Poor s6 sales led Samsung to bring back the sd card and increase battery capacity in the s7.
That's how.
Yes Samsung sales. Not android.
I have a background in finance.
I favor Empirical data over speculative data.
Nothing more.
I don't understand why so many here are so averse to sales data.
Because it's about speed not the quarterly Samsung sales are great/bad thread. We can talk sales there and all the fans can come out an give the other side the what for. Here we're talking about Samsung's performance or lack of it.
Yea the forwarding is pretty slick I agree!
Android can do similar with google voice / hangouts via wifi, but that may not work for non usa users. Apple's solution is more slick regardless though (just way less compatible devices)
Nice pics!

ugh sales data :-/ yuck, i thought we were talking about phones not investments!

This is mostly irrelevant but I was reading r/apple and folks were talking about how the poor benchmarks dont really effect normal people using the new macbook. Couldnt help but smile and think of this thread! Double standards!
Because sales don't say much about a device.
It doesn't say much about the Display, Camera, UI, SoC, Memory, Design etc...
Bingo.
But isn't this exactly the argument a lot of Apple fans use to defend any criticism of the iPhone/iOS? How many times have we heard Apple's sales and profits being brought up when discussing whether or not Apple needs to improve certain things relating to the user experience?
Because I agree with your statement.
A few here do and a few Android fans rip the iPhone apart for being boring or restrictive. That's just forum banter where both sides are as bad each other. Nobody is against improving something regardless of what they say. I have disagreed many times when an improvement has been suggested that I don't agree with or think it isn't needed but again that's a subjective approach.
I got attacked for asking for advice on my iPhone having lag after the last update on one thread and was accused of posting BS and being a liar. It was actually demanded that I post a video, as if I had somehow made it up just for kicks. I can appreciate fanboys can be bad on both sides here.
Certainly.
I hope you'll be vocal the next time Apple profits/sales are brought up in a topic about user experience. We know who the culprits usually are here that use that argument. It'll happen again.
If one Galaxy model sold as much as one iPhone model, who's to say Samsung would still be aggressive. I like aggressive Samsung, so not selling one model as much as the iPhone is a blessing in disguise.

Sort of. I hope the S7 sells well enough, though, so that Samsung recognizes listening to critics can be a valuable lesson, too!
I always am vocal about it. Apple offer a very good user experience and it was this that attracted me in the first place.
Other manufacturers offer good products to rival Apple but don't always see as impressive sales. This also has a lot to do with brand association and marketing. This doesn't mean the likes of Samsung are delivering worse products, but it also doesn't mean Apple are only selling due to their marketing. It's about the right balance of product vs appeal. Customer support is also a major factor in any companies appeal in my experience.
i agree...underdog Samsung has to try harder and provide a better product. But i also want them to have success to so they continue to provide leading tech in their phones.If one Galaxy model sold as much as one iPhone model, who's to say Samsung would still be aggressive.
