No, Samsung has lost the plot for the origins of their success - hardware supremacy and overwhelming features (e.g. SD card slot, headphone jacks). As I mentioned in another post discussing Apple overtaking Samsung for the first time in a decade in volume of sales, they removed everything that made their phones a compelling device, and decided to be an equally expensive iPhone clone. In an era where consumers are so starved for hardware features that Nothing Phone made a living out of glowing back plates, and iPhone got applauded for an action button, Samsung's leadership has seriously miscalculated and failed.
100% this. The Note 4 from 2014 has a higher resolution Display than the S24 and if you go by Pixels per Inch it even beats the S24 Ultra! Not that Resolution is the most important thing ever but still just crazy they only went backwards from the S6 onwards in that regard.
Its this shift in mentality that I despise. From "how much tech CAN we put in" to "how much tech do WE NEED to put in". Clearly Samsung's phone devision is being run by bunch of beancounters instead of tech enthusiasts.

Yeah it was the time where all these manufacturers were pushing each other. A few months earlier the LG G3 was the first mainstream 1440p Phone and not even 2 years earlier HTC released the first 1080p phone.
