Thanks a lot for this. I'd kindly like to hear something on honor mobile phones and especially this x8b

[@harry3004]

This video really helped me out. A couple of years ago, I wanted to buy myself a smartphone, and I was on a slim budget, and I wanted a Samsung because of the brand name. But at that time, the A series equivalent of the Redmi Note 11 had a 720p LCD display, which was a big downside for me. So I opted for the Redmi. And aside from some minor glitches that occur very infrequently, this phone has been great to use even now, 2 years down the road. Now, I want to buy my mom a phone and I'm again torn between Samsung and Redmi. This time, at least the Samsung actually has a good display, but I think that ultimately, I'll have to go with the Redmi again, especially after seeing your review. I'm hoping to be able to upgrade my mom's phone again a few years down the road, but for now, I think she'll be more than happy with the Redmi. Very nice video man.

As a busy person who occasionally drops my phone, I will go the Redmi bcos of the gorilla glass protection that make the screen strong from minor drops. With the Samsung I can't compromise the battery life by buying a charger separately which might not fit the phone. Samsung screens are too fragile and expensive to replace.

[@Bleon24]

A15 all the way. The most important thing in a phone for me is performance and software support. Faster charge speed? I can wait the extra few minutes for it to charge. ip54 rating? You won't swim with the phone 😢, 120hz? The Samsung actually feels as smooth with its 90hz. Notch? Trust me, you'll forget it's there on the A15 after a day of usage. Brighter display? You can use the A15 super 🎉comfortably in bright sunlight

[@jennifermukami2780]

Same here

[@aluwanimoyo4093]

I would have loved that Samsung but I'm getting the Redmi mainly because of the in-display fingerprint and a free 33w charger. I'll take the slower processor this time around because I've waited so long for a Redmi Note with in-display fingerprint. They pulled of the perfect manipulation here 😂 plus with the notch again and no stereo speakers on the Samsung, the mighty G99 won't win this fight by itself. I love how Samsung is really trying to shift their line-ups up in terms of performance but i think hardware features have to win this round.

Samsung of cause, the gorilla glass can be reapplied as a screen protector, and the water resistance and the other smaller features can be dismissed by the fact of Samsung ecosystem, better camera, and longer updates, because if by any chance android 17 had lots more features it'll a win win situation, cause normally newer version have little updates

Thanks for the comparison, Oscar.. I just got a samsung A15, and it's cool. However, whenever I minimise an app for just a few seconds, it refreshes/starts all over when I go back to it. Do you have any idea what the problem could be? It's a 4gb RAM, 128gb ROM phone.

Not low RAM always. Go to you settings, check for 'developer option'(you can tap the phone build number 7 times if you're not yet a developer. Next, search for 'destroy activities/don't keep activity' and check if that button is on. If the button is toggle on, then toggle off. Now return to you home and try minimising again. Thank you 🙏

Bought Samsung A15 and I must say that for the price, its worth it. I bought 8/256 variant, camera performs well in good lightening conditions especially the front one and back camera 50mp does a good job even with a flashlight only. Charging speed has improved and battery works really well, I was expecting 4G+ support on this one but unfortunately it doesn't support that, guess that's the only con. The rest, it will work well for couple of years with 4 major updates and 5 years patches. ;)

Samsung all the way for software support. Xiaomi usually starts to ignore their entry level to mid range phones after a year; also, updates are horrible sometimes (battery drain issue, lag etc.). In addition, after stock android, OneUI is the best UI on android platform.

Xiaomi promised the Redmi Note 13 series will have 3 years OS Update and 4 years security patch on their latest policy, also they're in transition from MIUI to HyperOS.

Much prefer Samsung's software over Redmi's that I'm almost willing to overlook the outdated notch, the lack of stereo speakers, and slower charging speeds. But from where I'm from, the Note 13 is just the better buy, with its 8GB+256GB model being $70 cheaper than the A15 of the same configuration. Even the cheaper Note 13 model (6GB+128GB) could be bought for $50 less than the A15 with the 4GB+128GB configuration.
