    I’ve learned the hard way that there’s only one decent Samsung product line - from big appliances to little electronics - and it’s their phones (and even those leave questions on privacy).

      That’s funny, while I still buy Samsung TVs, I hate their phones. So much of what their phones can do is usually locked to only working in Samsung’s apps and those are universally dog shit. The phones themselves are also often privacy and user control nightmares.

      Granted, there isn’t a lot of good choices for phones these days. I’m still running an old LG phone and have been looking outside Android as my next possible solution. But, I also haven’t had a reason to upgrade.

        Have a Samsung TV and it’s by far my least favorite. Turns off at random, takes forever to switch inputs, turns on at random…

        As for phones I’m eyeing the Motorola RazrFold, since they’re supposedly offering it Graphene-ready

          Turn off all of the Energy Saving/Eco Solution crap. It will stop turning off and you will get s brighter inage that doesn’t shift in brightness.

          You should also switch to Movie mode in the picture settings and set dejudder/deblur (under Motion Clarity) to 0 while you’re at it so it doesn’t turn everything into 60 fps with fake frames.

        Their SSDs are/were considered amongst the best options, but I haven’t looked into them since the 970 Evo days and they could be crap now for all I know.

        Only SD card I’ve ever had die. I go with sandisk for important SD cards and team group for less important ones. Neither have ever failed.
