As a Samsung user of 6 years, mainly due to job phone policy, I say they deserve it.

Great screens, but gawddamn they aren't worth their price. No charger, no headphone jack, no expandable storage, fingerprint sensor that are iffy and damn OS taking up 30% of your storage, no matter which option you go for.

I like the camera and s-pen on my S22u but that's it. They need to lower price and make competent mid range phones again, like the A52s.

Funnily enough they still have expandable storage on the A54. It's only their best models where they know they can gouge for more storage.

Its actually kinda ridicoulus that somehow features get removed from the top kodeks first and then it slowly trickles down to cheaper phones. You would think pepole paying literaly a 1000 dollars for a phone would complain first and foremost. But then again some pepole replace their phones every 2 years Just beacuse(its not like you need need new more powerful phones for pretty much any use including gaming, with the only known to me exception being emulators, but that is a very specific niche ).
