@@JaimeRiveraTech this is prepetuated by phones being closely tied to fashion rather than usefool tools. people want to fit in by getting the latest and greatest and this is greatly exasturbated by tech reviewers
I don’t think I remember a time when they were ever really affordable. Even as far back as the first fold, I saw them more as a status symbol than something better in functionality. I had the fold three, because it was the first one that I remember that was water resistant. But two years after getting that I ended up going back to the S 23 ultra. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a foldable again.
There are a ton of foldable cheaper than normal phones. Price had nothing to do with it. They are built like crap and very fragile for the most part. Way too many issues with screens and battery for what they are. Most people don't have a desk job and wear slacks all day. Work outside or in labor or construction and you want nothing to do with these. Not to mention nobody is gonna buy a fragile phone for their kids. Right there you're missing out on huge sales. People pay $1200 all day long for S24 and pro max. There are a ton of foldable under 1200 now. They still don't sale well.
I’m sure these companies already gave shareholders and investors a number they thought they’d hit by now in sales and profit. They aren’t going to reduce the price lol. They don’t care about the consumers ability to afford things lol.
S25 Slim was the dumbest investment by Samsung EVER ... There was no need for it and they should have focused on giving the best features and hardware to the upcoming S25 lineup (bigger battery, more efficient and better screen, S-Pen improvements and no downgrades, update at least more than one camera with vastly improved software to use the SD8 elite for better user experience, performance, and image + video processing, and lastly, vastly improved cooling for the phone.)
Why does Samsung waste so much money? Putting out products that a lot of people don't buy like foldable and flip phones every year? Or Fan Edition phones? Honestly most people probably forgot about the A series phones as of recently and now they're making a slim phone that's possibly the size of the S24 plus but with a battery of 4,000 mAH. What is Samsung thinking?
@@bradleyswaney6100 Which it gets actually because these batteries are more efficient, but it charges already really fast so I personally don't get why you want even faster charging haha.
We just want a smaller version of the Ultra like the Pixel Pro, iPhone Pro and Vivo X200 Pro Mini but Samsung said no you need a slim phone better, Who asked for a slim phone?
@VibnWavez buddy I will hook myself to a gridline if you can find a Galaxy Ultra with a ~6.2" screen size (Base S models don't count, no S pen, worse camera, smaller vapor chamber, no anti-reflective coating)
I don't care about "thin". I want my "small" phone back. Like... sub 6" phones that I can reach all the buttons and fits it any pocket. Not everyone uses their phone for media consumption. For some of us it's just a phone, and all I care about is usability not a screen I can watch a wide-screen movie on.
@VibnWavez, but not like the Pixel Pro, iPhone Pro, or Vivo X200 Pro Mini. Check the specs of these phones, and you will understand. I will get this year the Vivo X200 Pro Mini instead of the outdated S25.
Samsung is losing the war to Apple because it’s trying too hard to be like Apple instead of leaning into the things that made it different. Especially now that they’re getting rid of Samsung Dex.
If they would go to pixel route and keep what makes Samsung, Samsung because one UI is far too bloated. And regarding Samsung DEX, it was more of a nice thing.
??? Samsung just claimed the no.1 spot again after being dethroned last year for the first time in 12 years. If you're talking about the phones, Samsung Slim is a full-blown flagship rather than having only one camera just like on the iPhone Air...
Wife LOVED her Flip4. Didn't love it when the phone couldn't tell if it were open or closed. I stupidly skipped the insurance so in $200 more payments we will actually own it. She's back on her s10e and hilariously loves it.
I can't say this enough we need to stop promoting all this thin phone bullshit RUclipsrs are pushing it because it gives them content we don't need thinner phones and smaller batteries I'll take a thick phone with a good battery all day long over some stupid thin bend easy glass breaking 4 mm phone stop promoting thin phones
7:41 No, the company said there'd be an announcement before the end of Q1. It happened exactly as they said, there's no evidence that the announcement was pushed earlier due to leaks.
Not to sound dramatic but 25 Slim maybe not adopting silicon battery tech and only having up to a 4,000mAh size is a bit of a deal breaker. Let's hope that's not true And let's hope the Switch 2 goes with an OLED screen and not reverting back to an LCD display like I have also heard rumors of Not to be dramatic, but 2 VERY disappointing updates to 2 of the things I was most excited for this year 😭
Phone thickness doesn't really bother me as I tend to put a case on my very expensive phones. I would prefer better battery life. And until another OEM starts giving us call screening to match or out-do Google, I will always buy a Pixel phone anyway.
I dont mind too much about a super thin phone so long as it feels good in the hand and likely doesnt break or feels too heavy. It would be nice to have them adopt silicon batteries for light phones but also i am looking forward to the tech being used for flip phones and foldables.
Can't think of any advantage to having a thinner phone, including aesthetically (camera modules, which need to remain large if the slim phones would use the larger sensors in the flagships, have to bulge out even further from a thinner phone, which would make them even more unsightly). And it would make their handling that much more fidgety and their batteries smaller, which NO ONE wants! Again, can't think of a reason why it would make sense for phone manufacturers (at least the top two) to suddenly be skinny pones.
They are using Alop technology that Samsung developed this is a revolutionary development the sensor is same while being much smaller so in future we gonna see phones with smaller but better sensor and Samsung s25 slim will be the one to start that
Making slabs thinner is not necessarily the best idea. Foldables, on the other hand, does make sense. I would love to see a thinner slightly larger Fold.
I care more about the battery life than how thin it is, loss of battery capacity to make it more thin and likely to bend and break seems like a retarded move to me. Loved my s6 edge but the battery lasting about 4 hours a day was a massive reason for ditching it after a year.
The only thing related to thickness that I care about is the camera bump. I hated it when it started with the iPhone 6, and I've hated it ever since. I couldn't care less about thickness in any other aspect. These are phones, not hygiene pads-I just want them to last as long as possible, and that's it.
A thinner profile is less important than longer battery life. Increasing the battery capacity in flagship phones from 5000mAh to 6000mAh, or even higher, would be a significant improvement.
I don't fully understand the drive to make things as thin as possible. Would I like an iPhone Max with a 7" display that is 50% lighter than today's phone? Yes. But if that phone isn't made with reinforced alloys to prevent bending and what not, I'd rather the company focus on weight reduction in the current or slightly slimmer measurements than just steamroll ahead with making our phones like "feathers". Just my two cents. Also, Jaime and co., I'm really happy to see this channel growing quickly. Been a fan for years. Keep up the good work!
Same phone. The bezels should not be shrunk at all from here. Samsung is already struggling to keep up on battery capacity compared to other Android phones, so making them thinner doesn't make sense. This phone is so light already it's crazy.
iPhone 16e... Am I looking at an iPhone 5S? Peak smartphone or peak boredom? I expect Apple to manufacture fashion accessories and wish Samsung would stop copying Cupertino. Headphone jack, SD storage, fast charge, stylus, and a swappable battery would be "innovation" I'd love to see, even if innovation means seeing a return of the features we lost six years ago! P.S. Love your content and delivery.
@JaimeRiveraTech Who is asking? Everyone I see in comments everywhere... I hear bigger battery (or with the new battery tech we're seeing) or bigger camera sensors. Who's saying, man, I wish my phone was as thin as a credit card? I mean, sure, if I could get everything my S24 Ultra is, but in something half as thick. Why not. 🤷♂️ But that's not realistic. Crazy that people want less for factor, and will happily trade off usability.
I just want more battery. The S25 ultra is thicker, yet it is rumoured to still have a 5000 mah battery and not like the oneplus 13's capacity. I don't care about getting the thinnest phone. I just want a decently sized phone that takes advantage of its size, that's all...
As a fan of Jerryrigeverything, I don't care too much for ultra thin devices. I prefer them how they are. I'm usually the type to forget that my phone is my back pocket and sit on it. So far, I haven't broken any phone due my case, but going ultra thin could change that...
at this point I am not concerned with the price of the switch. Most OG switch users held their devices for 10 years so whatever the tag may be we are sure to have a long standing console with a proven reliability and fun to play for years to come.
@@christopher8679 I understand the precise math, the point was, people have been playing the OG switch for a really long time and in console years 7 or 10 years is about the same, within this time span he had major updates on both ps4 and ps5. Its just a proven record that Nintendo consoles despite the lower perfomance on specs and compared to major consoles can still provide a different type of games/fun that is unique to them.
I mean the slimming makes sense when you want to use a protective smartphone cover that fully surrounds the phone.. as these feel pretty big in the pocket nowadays. If you wanna have slim without protective cover this seems to be more likely to drop then. So maybe this is for the people who lay more focus on protection
My ring camera: ‘There’s a person at your front door’ (5 notifications). Apple intelligence: ‘There are 5 people at your front door.’ Looks like my door is hosting a party and forgot to invite me 🤣🤣
I would be extremely surprised if anyone buys the iphone air. It only has 1 camera and reportedly a battery smaller than 3000mah. Atleast the galaxy slim has 3 cameras (50MP ultrawide and 200MP wide angle from the s25ultra and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto) with a battery between 3500-4000mah.
Fold 3 user, for me it's not the price (although a price drop will always be appreciated). Need 3 changes, bigger battery, integrated S-Pen, Better camera; I will upgrade in a heartbeat. Bigger & Better battery is a must, can ignore the other two. Always had to charge my phone at least twice since I bought it. Now that battery degraded, heavy days take it up to three times of charge. Battery too small for my use case.
Which ones were the two best selling phones? Maybe there was something else that caused the sell and not cause they were thin. If it was the iPhone 6 Plus, it could have been cause it was a larger iPhone.
I enjoy your videos. Can you please explain why, at the beginning of every video, you have to say that you tried to condense it to make it as short as possible? You never did that at Pocket Now.
Haha, because the original scripts are usually twice the size after the research. I spend another 3 hours just condensing it. I explain it because most people would prefer a shorter video. I do as well, but it's not always easy. The TikTok news for example was 6 paragraphs. Reduced it to 2.
I think you should do it the way you think is best. Everyone will get used to it and appreciate it. I seldom see anyone complaining about videos being too long on other channels!
Wait why do we care how thin the iPhone is? Lmao no one cares its still 100 years behind i switched back to Samsung and Onenote phones 5 times. Each time i try iPhone it just sucks..... Oneplus 13 is far ahead of Samsung.... If oneplus has that higher main camera resolution it would have been top phone. You have no idea how great it is specially for gaming... It actually beat my Asus 9 pro i tested last week
All of this is irrelevant because who provides the chips and panels to apple: Samsung... Remember apple fan boys, it's "designed" by apple but it's mostly Samsung parts...
If SE comes with 48MP, then im sold, even with A17pro & 60Hz. The image processing is still the best in market, but i cant keep up with the new model coz of the price. Only SE pricing can make me consider.
5.5mm is nice, but what’s not nice is that “snap-crackle” sound when you sat down and Then remembered you had it in your back pocket….. and yes, more battery more good.
Apple hasn’t learned its lesson after “Bendgate” and current surveys that show people don’t care about thinner phones. They want more battery, innovative designs, and functionality. As for me, I want “chonk”. I like the feel of a substantial phone in my hand. Thinner, lighter, has been tried before. Apple truly isn’t even trying anymore.
Us Samsung users are TIIIIRREEEDD, and it seems a few folks at apple are too. This feeling of stagnation is honestly aggravating, like not even a battery that uses silicon carbon?
In relation to the thin phones from samsung and apple. I applaud both companies for bringing these (niche) phones to the market. Obviously, it is about choice, one runs on oneui and the other on ios.
As long as the iPhones have iOS and iOS doesn’t charge much, the iPhone will always be a very limited option. I had up to the S22U and then I charged up the iPhone 15 PM (until this day) and I’m looking forward to change to the S25U as soon as possible! The iOS limited my life so immensely, though I love the iPhone hardware and video capabilities, that I NEED to change as fast as possible.
Hey man thanks for the video I really enjoying your tech updates but I have to ask who asked for a slim phone? Those of us who have owned a iPhone 13 mini and a s10e in the past have asked for a small (normal) size phone but I don't know anybody that says oh I want a slim phone with a smaller battery Don't know anybody that's even wanted that but okay I guess that's what we're getting.
I think this whole tiktok thing has got more to do with the other social media platforms in the US getting rid of competition under the guise of security, in the same way that Apple, sorry the US government got rid of Huawei in 2016 when they were becoming the dominant cell phone manufacturer.
I think we should go back to the days when phones had unique designs and won't just the same rectangular slabs they are today. The switch 2 looks the same too. Where have all the designer gone?
9:34 'cause it's a gaming console and must stay grip-pable. If they make it like an iPhone 17 Air, how would the user grip it well? I'm glad they maintained a considerable amount of thickness 😅
DEFINITELY want the s25 slim, but I have to see the specs to know for sure. I don't mind a smaller battery as long as charging speed is bumped up. Motorola is on 125w right now and I love my Edge 50 pro but the software is HORRENDOUS after the last update, it keeps crashing. Samsung is very reliable. Loved my s22, but the battery seemed to degrade insanely quickly.
Hey man, I love the TBs, I've watched all of them so far. You don't need to apologize in the beginning of each one and say you compressed it, you can make the videos longer or make multiple videos, I will watch them all.
Mobile companies: “We should create the world slimmest phone. Also mobile companies: “This is the latest and chunkiest technology that we can fit on a foldable phone.”
Samsung drop in market share correlating with their drop of unique features. No SD card, no curved edge, audio jack etc. Regardless of what you think of each of those, collectively it means there's practically no difference between iPhone and Samsung...it's probably as simple as that
@ i hear ya on that. My wife is currently working on her video editing to keep it under 8 minutes and I can certainly appreciate your struggle. Hey, we appreciate the content you and yours create.
I'm not even slightly interested in a thinner and lighter phone. IMO, a phone that is slim and light would feel like a cheap knockoff and I would avoid it. I'll buy a phone for its bigger battery and better camera over anything that's advertised as thinner and lighter every time. Samsung is quickly gaining the reputation of company that completely ignores its customers and produces what IT wants. Their decreased market share is a self inflicted wound to their bottom line.
Tiktok is like a pack of cigarettes. The government warns you, they tell you it is bad for a lot of reasons, and if you STILL want to continue smoking, then have at it. Just don't complain when the cancer rolls around. I don't think they should ban it. I think more research,education, and parenting is needed to control this.
Dude. Asking for people to boost your engagement by saying "I'm curious to hear what you think, leave a comment" after EVERY story is super annoying We get. Just say it once
Dude you are getting triggered by some stupid thing? There definitely more issues going on in your life. He needs the engagement in order for RUclips recommend his videos... Go take a nap dude and leave Jaime alone
Yes, to thinner+ligher flagship, as I bring my phone in my jersey/shorts when cycling and running. Samsung's thin sounds better so far, I'd take 1mm thicker to still get a much better camera setup, top chip, etc. Sounds like Apple's Air phone will have too many compromises for me. Edit to add I'd be getting rid of my Honor Magic v3 foldable. Just don't use it open enough tbh.
Foldable phones are rubbish it’s always podcasters like you that love them. Who wants a screen so sensitive that if it gets a bit of gravel on or a scratch it’s totally damaged? In any case phones are 6.8 inches now so there’s no need for a bigger phone just buy a tablet.
No one cares about thinner phones, the customer cares more about value for their money.
Sadly depends on the market. It's crazy how in markets like the US value isn't everything.
Value for money, but buys brand new flagship phones? lol

@Lee.S321 It's not going; don't worry unless you use the Windows one.
I think we have lost as consumers. The lack of choice and iterative updates make the space boring.
I think there are way more reasons as to why Foldables aren't picking up. Not least of which is the reliability and battery life situation.
Price and inner screen durability need vast improvement before wide adoption in the US
Price needs to match camera performance. Not to everyone, but to many, those two need to correlate.

I can't wait for it. But expect an episode of How It Started / How It's Going on the OLED first
@ 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
My ring camera: ‘There’s a person at your front door’ (5 notifications).
Apple intelligence: ‘There are 5 people at your front door.’
Looks like my door is hosting a party and forgot to invite me 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It does hold water Samsung isn’t much cheaper than Apple bro.
I would be extremely surprised if anyone buys the iphone air. It only has 1 camera and reportedly a battery smaller than 3000mah. Atleast the galaxy slim has 3 cameras (50MP ultrawide and 200MP wide angle from the s25ultra and a 50MP 3.5x telephoto) with a battery between 3500-4000mah.
Fold 3 user, for me it's not the price (although a price drop will always be appreciated). Need 3 changes, bigger battery, integrated S-Pen, Better camera; I will upgrade in a heartbeat. Bigger & Better battery is a must, can ignore the other two. Always had to charge my phone at least twice since I bought it. Now that battery degraded, heavy days take it up to three times of charge. Battery too small for my use case.
The Galaxy slim has two (good) cameras the iPhone slim one though. He forgot to mention that.
That’s where I feel tings will get interesting. What’s most important? Thinness or features?
@@JaimeRiveraTech Features and battery hopefully...
@@JaimeRiveraTechfeatures lol😂and obviously price😂
@prathameshozarkar He holds Apple stocks, so can't praise any other brand
You don't know the samsung and apple is lifestyle ,samsung is producivity ,they have own target ,don't stupid I can know you well
Word salad. May I have more croutons?
Which ones were the two best selling phones? Maybe there was something else that caused the sell and not cause they were thin. If it was the iPhone 6 Plus, it could have been cause it was a larger iPhone.
I enjoy your videos. Can you please explain why, at the beginning of every video, you have to say that you tried to condense it to make it as short as possible? You never did that at Pocket Now.
Haha, because the original scripts are usually twice the size after the research. I spend another 3 hours just condensing it. I explain it because most people would prefer a shorter video. I do as well, but it's not always easy. The TikTok news for example was 6 paragraphs. Reduced it to 2.
I think you should do it the way you think is best. Everyone will get used to it and appreciate it. I seldom see anyone complaining about videos being too long on other channels!
I only buy Samsung and Apple flagship phones. I love both brands. But Samsung is superior in new technology over Apple.
iFools won't understand it unfortunately
👏 👏👏👏 Great topics! Thanks for keeping us up to date always! 😘
@@xiorunz 😍😍
No one asked for a thinner device. That means they're cutting corners and the battery will probably be smaller. I'll stick with the top models.
Wait why do we care how thin the iPhone is? Lmao no one cares its still 100 years behind i switched back to Samsung and Onenote phones 5 times. Each time i try iPhone it just sucks.....
Oneplus 13 is far ahead of Samsung.... If oneplus has that higher main camera resolution it would have been top phone. You have no idea how great it is specially for gaming... It actually beat my Asus 9 pro i tested last week
All of this is irrelevant because who provides the chips and panels to apple: Samsung... Remember apple fan boys, it's "designed" by apple but it's mostly Samsung parts...
Yes, this is what most iFools don't know or consider
If SE comes with 48MP, then im sold, even with A17pro & 60Hz. The image processing is still the best in market, but i cant keep up with the new model coz of the price. Only SE pricing can make me consider.
By this point, they still don't get that we would settle for a 1-inch phone if we could get multiple-day battery life.
I don't get the point of slim phones.
Apple is so boring people just dont know how to us anything Else or dont want to break their little precious ecosystem
5.5mm is nice, but what’s not nice is that “snap-crackle” sound when you sat down and Then remembered you had it in your back pocket….. and yes, more battery more good.
I'm hella excited for the Nintendo Switch 2. I just hope its priced at or below $500 USD.
@@ACMonroe I think that’s gonna be the biggest challenge
You’ve got to be kidding…
It’s definitely at $400 or $350 & not a penny more
I bet that both will be thicker than the Motorola Moto Z2 Play from a decade ago
I like the direction they went with the Switch 2 design being more elegant and subtle, but I'll probably wait for a special edition colorway.
Apple hasn’t learned its lesson after “Bendgate” and current surveys that show people don’t care about thinner phones. They want more battery, innovative designs, and functionality. As for me, I want “chonk”. I like the feel of a substantial phone in my hand. Thinner, lighter, has been tried before. Apple truly isn’t even trying anymore.
Us Samsung users are TIIIIRREEEDD, and it seems a few folks at apple are too. This feeling of stagnation is honestly aggravating, like not even a battery that uses silicon carbon?
The new Mario kart looks amazing!
It does look pretty sick
In relation to the thin phones from samsung and apple. I applaud both companies for bringing these (niche) phones to the market. Obviously, it is about choice, one runs on oneui and the other on ios.
It seems to be a technology trend of making products bigger and bigger over the years
As long as the iPhones have iOS and iOS doesn’t charge much, the iPhone will always be a very limited option. I had up to the S22U and then I charged up the iPhone 15 PM (until this day) and I’m looking forward to change to the S25U as soon as possible! The iOS limited my life so immensely, though I love the iPhone hardware and video capabilities, that I NEED to change as fast as possible.
but isheeps won't understand this
Hey man thanks for the video I really enjoying your tech updates but I have to ask who asked for a slim phone? Those of us who have owned a iPhone 13 mini and a s10e in the past have asked for a small (normal) size phone but I don't know anybody that says oh I want a slim phone with a smaller battery Don't know anybody that's even wanted that but okay I guess that's what we're getting.
I think this whole tiktok thing has got more to do with the other social media platforms in the US getting rid of competition under the guise of security, in the same way that Apple, sorry the US government got rid of Huawei in 2016 when they were becoming the dominant cell phone manufacturer.
I think we should go back to the days when phones had unique designs and won't just the same rectangular slabs they are today. The switch 2 looks the same too. Where have all the designer gone?
Still rocking my flip 5, seems I will still have it for a while
It’s a pretty good phone
9:34 'cause it's a gaming console and must stay grip-pable. If they make it like an iPhone 17 Air, how would the user grip it well?
I'm glad they maintained a considerable amount of thickness 😅
Samsung needs to keep innovating. That's what I fell in love with. Not copying Apple.
They better keep the regular Plus model though, as a lot of people would want to choose functionality over aesthetics.
Yeah hopefully
They will keep the plus model because Apple has a plus model because Samsung copies Apple.
@ My bad, I should’ve been clear. I was talking about Apple itself. They’re rumored to replace it with Air.
Comparing with iphone air when it only got one camera in 2025 🤡
Jaime, why the change from PocketNow to Tb? Just curious
It was time to move on. Call it creative differences
@ Good luck with the change Jaime! I am a big fan of your work so I will be watching close your new adventure if you will. I am sure it will be great!
DEFINITELY want the s25 slim, but I have to see the specs to know for sure. I don't mind a smaller battery as long as charging speed is bumped up. Motorola is on 125w right now and I love my Edge 50 pro but the software is HORRENDOUS after the last update, it keeps crashing. Samsung is very reliable. Loved my s22, but the battery seemed to degrade insanely quickly.
Both are gaining ground because the US gov crushed Huawei, who was flying up the charts, even overtaking apple before the ban.
6:41 I thought the new “iPhone Air” was supposed to not have a physical sim version in any country?
Reports are it won’t
Hey man,
I love the TBs, I've watched all of them so far.
You don't need to apologize in the beginning of each one and say you compressed it, you can make the videos longer or make multiple videos, I will watch them all.
Appreciate your support bud. Means the world to me
As much as I want the S25 Slim, The S25U I will always gravitate to. Great video as always
Mobile companies: “We should create the world slimmest phone.
Also mobile companies: “This is the latest and chunkiest technology that we can fit on a foldable phone.”
I desperately want a foldable, they just need to be in the low $1k range, and be slightly more durable
I'd like, if It cost much closer to a current foldable, a third generation tri-fold with google running the best android.
Thin phones were great when bezels were larger.
NOW APPLE LOOKS LIKE PIXEL 😂😂
🤣🤣 and vice versa with those flat rails
Samsung drop in market share correlating with their drop of unique features. No SD card, no curved edge, audio jack etc. Regardless of what you think of each of those, collectively it means there's practically no difference between iPhone and Samsung...it's probably as simple as that
Try a 12+ minutes video. I think you have the fan base the appreciates you input and in-depth views.
Appreciate you. Thanks for that. I’m actually trying to not go over 8 minutes but it’s been tough
@ i hear ya on that. My wife is currently working on her video editing to keep it under 8 minutes and I can certainly appreciate your struggle. Hey, we appreciate the content you and yours create.
I only want the console to be larger. My hands hurt when I use switch in handheld mode.
I'm excited about the Nintendo Switch 2!!
I'm not even slightly interested in a thinner and lighter phone. IMO, a phone that is slim and light would feel like a cheap knockoff and I would avoid it. I'll buy a phone for its bigger battery and better camera over anything that's advertised as thinner and lighter every time. Samsung is quickly gaining the reputation of company that completely ignores its customers and produces what IT wants. Their decreased market share is a self inflicted wound to their bottom line.
Tiktok is like a pack of cigarettes. The government warns you, they tell you it is bad for a lot of reasons, and if you STILL want to continue smoking, then have at it. Just don't complain when the cancer rolls around. I don't think they should ban it. I think more research,education, and parenting is needed to control this.
Love your analogy. So true
Dude. Asking for people to boost your engagement by saying "I'm curious to hear what you think, leave a comment" after EVERY story is super annoying
We get. Just say it once
Dude you are getting triggered by some stupid thing? There definitely more issues going on in your life. He needs the engagement in order for RUclips recommend his videos... Go take a nap dude and leave Jaime alone
LoL, then don't get annoyed.
Appreciate you @learzetur6
@@JaimeRiveraTech well you asked me to leave a comment stating what I thought.........
Ding dong, TikTok is gone.
Yup. We’ll see for how long
Yes, to thinner+ligher flagship, as I bring my phone in my jersey/shorts when cycling and running. Samsung's thin sounds better so far, I'd take 1mm thicker to still get a much better camera setup, top chip, etc. Sounds like Apple's Air phone will have too many compromises for me. Edit to add I'd be getting rid of my Honor Magic v3 foldable. Just don't use it open enough tbh.
I really don't get the fascination with having the thinnest phone. I would never take it into consideration when buying
I don't care at all about thinner phones. 🤷
If they can make a phone thinner but keep the same battery duration, I rather they just keep the same size but increase battery size
If the screen is bigger and better and battery life hasn't decreased, it will be forgiven for not being thinner.
I don't care about it 10x cámara good battery good big screen 😂😂😂
Foldable phones are rubbish it’s always podcasters like you that love them. Who wants a screen so sensitive that if it gets a bit of gravel on or a scratch it’s totally damaged? In any case phones are 6.8 inches now so there’s no need for a bigger phone just buy a tablet.
I have never used the switch mobile so I don’t care what design it is. Just want 4K 120 would be nice
