thank you. Featured weekly summary.
We thank you for your interest and striving towards providing the best always. As for Samsung’s advertisement, I see it as very vulgar and does not offer anything of real value to the user, so that the foldable screens are not considered that dazzling feature that contributes to enriching technology and entertaining the user. It is not like new technologies that are characterized by novelty. In the world of technology or that impressive feature that drives the consumer to borrow to own the device!!! (cloud storage, voice assistant, fingerprint and face print, and many other features that directly contributed to the development of the user's lifestyle) What is the point of a phone that includes without adding technology? If the screen was expanded when needed, I would see it as a good addition, but the current use of closing and opening does not add value. Thank you.
Good effort from a respectable site. Thanks. Comment on Samsung, which is Apple, of course, the same company. However, with my experience, the Samsung foldable phone, frankly and transparently, is not worth XNUMX riyals only for its price. It doesn't deserve to be called Mobile. After two months, the screen burned out. And the fold became attached. Of course, other than Android, which only one can talk about. Don't let Samsung compare itself to the iPhone because of its face only. This is his name and old style. Thank you.
Your efforts are greatly appreciated
