The Samsung Story...

Samsung, a one of the most reputed companies in the smartphone industry, has also been a victim of a lot of criticism by people. Past experiences with this company have led to people losing faith in the company, but recent innovations have also got a lot of them coming back, and happier than ever. Here we take a look at our thoughts of this company, and what kind of a place this company holds in the market. In the past, in the mid range and budget market, Samsung phones were not up to the mark. They were seriously under-powered, and had almost nothing to offer which other brands weren't providing, and at much lower prices.

Companies like Motorola provided a stock android experience, while the Experience UI by Samsung was full of bloatware and was pretty laggy. I'm talking specifically about the J and the ON series.

Realme... A formidable player?

All of us know that Realme has been making some amazing smartphones at some really affordable prices. Their phones have really been the buzz around town, and this growth has boomed quite recently. Here we take a look at this company, and why Realme might be the next big brand to watch out for. A sub-brand of Oppo, Realme started off by launching its first phone, the Realme 1, as recently as May 2018. Instantly it became a rage, and the sales numbers of the company even in its recent years were incredible. The company was started as a rival to the vastly popular and the budget king - Xiaomi. The idea was simple, to offer everything that Xiaomi did, and more at a price point which was just as affordable. The phone was instantly a success. They managed to provide a particularly great camera experience, far better than the ones offered by the rival companies in this segment. This appealed to the young crowd, the main target of this budget category, and the company saw great profits by...
