Is it worth getting a Samsung phone? 8 Samsung users weigh in.

is it worth getting a samsung phone

 

Samsung or Apple? It’s an age-old debate.

 

In this article, we pick the brains of 8 Samsung users, and get them to tell us why they’re die-hard fans of Samsung.

#1: Dual-screen split

'I love that all Samsung Galaxy phones allow you to use the split screen view.

 

This is super useful when I’m multi-tasking (or trying to multitask!)'

 

- Jia Min, 28, Marketing Executive

#2: Flip phones

'I love that Samsung has flip phones! I got my first flip phone a year ago and I'm obsessed with it.

 

It’s super easy to take selfies and pictures with this phone, and you don’t need a tripod!'

 

- Sarah, 25, Graphic Designer

#3: App availability

'Some apps like Douyin are only available on Android phones like Samsung.

 

If you're using an iPhone, you won't be able to download Douyin unless you're in China.'

 

- Wei Hao, 29, Sales Executive

#4: It’s customisable

'Android UI is the best when it comes to customisability. I love that I can really customise every aspect of my Samsung phone!'

 

- Esther, 31, Teacher

 

Ed’s note: Here are some examples of different themes that you can use on your Android phone...

#5: Battery life

'Samsung’s battery life is really the best. I’ve tried multiple brands over the years and I’m now sticking to Samsung because the battery life is truly exceptional.'

 

- Guan Min, 39, Data Scientist 

#6: Easier to connect to Bluetooth

'This might seem like a small thing, but imo, the best thing about Samsung phones is the fact that they connect to Bluetooth easily. 

 

With my previous phones from other brands, it takes a longer time and sometimes the connection is unable to establish. But with my Samsung phone, it connects very quickly and easily!'

 

- Qiao En, 38, HR 

#7: More updates

'I appreciate that Samsung is generous with their system upgrade. 

 

IIRC, Samsung gives 4 system upgrades, which is the most out of all Android phones. Other phones give maybe 2 or 3 major OS upgrades, and that’s pretty much it.'

 

- Jun Hao, 45, Business Development Manager 

#8: Guest accounts

'You can create guest accounts on your Samsung phone, which I never knew about until my friend told me recently! 

 

I use the guest accounts for my kids. They can play games on a guest account on my phone, and I’m not worried about them accidentally deleting anything important from my phone.'  

 

- Andrew, 42, Financial Planner
