At Galaxy Unpacked 2024, we a lot of new products from Samsung, but there was a lingering sense of déjà vu after every announcement. Let’s talk about why a lot of these products look very similar to its competitors, and why Samsung’s strategy probably won’t change any time soon.

SMH….stooooop this mess. Buy what you like and stop worrying about the "competition". There is no real competition at this point…you stixk with yiur preferred brand and that brands products. Why concern yourself with the other side? This whole debate is childish
Why do you want Samsung to innovate?
Whatever Samsung does, as long as Apple and Google don't have it, you (Western media and YouTubers) consider it useless, pointless 🤷ðŸ½â€â™‚ï¸
Until proven otherwise, Apple did not invent earbuds with stems, nor the orange color, nor the design of the Galaxy Watch Ultra which is in fact that of the Galaxy Gear Sport brought up to date…
It's you as much as you are, who killed tech innovation.
ðŸ™ðŸ½
what about apple innovation problems? and google? are they enough for you? or what's your problem?
Samsung has become a knock off Apple wannabe company. They forgot the meaning of innovation. Time to start using different devices from companies that really create and truly innovate.
Instead of complaining about a companies innovation, just go innovate yourself.
Should colours be banned once a manfacturer uses it? As a product designer myself, All design is derivative at some level. This "who copied who" argument is childish and counterproductive. Galaxy Ultra watch is not a copy of Apple watch but more likely influenced from a Hermes sports watch. Which Apple also probably was inspired from. In fact if you remove bands of both Apple or Samsung watches they barely look the same. Do you want a star or triangle shaped earbuds? Certain design stick around because they re ultimately the best shape.
Readiness and energy score is the same thing as garmins body battery
A lot of you tech channels are very disapppointing these days. 😒😒😒
I still use the buds live. They are the only earbuds that stay in my ear comfortably all day long as well as the airpods pro. That's why I'm excited Samsung made the move to steal the design language of the airpods pro and why I preordered them for $93 after trade in and $100 in credits.
As for the watch 7 ultra I'm not to sure I like that design but Samsung copied from the gear 3 sport. It has the same squarcle design with the orange accents and bands. So…. Who copied who? Samsung copied themselves and apple copied Samsung with the watch ultra. Look it up and you'll see why Samsung designed their watch ultra the way they did.
The fold 6 needed a bigger front screen, bigger battery , the dark corning non reflective glass, s pen outer screen, it was alright but incremental and I might wait until fold 7 or fold 6 slim. The software is excellent but the hardware needs work . I might get the book 4 pro 360 laptop or tab s10 instead. Its true Honor is winning w Huawei, Xiaomi , One Plus and Vivo. Its strange because thr s24 ultra has good hardware. For me I'd rather buy the pro 360 4 laptop since I need a new laptop after my surface book 2 died and I will wait for fold 6 slim or fold 7 ultra until I get sufficient hardware simultaneously
Samsung innovates with folding phones, they innovate new android features that Google (and now Apple) adopts, and all of the sudden when they mimic an idea Apple does, they lack innovation? I'm not even a big Samsung fan but this is just lazy clickbait…
We already know this. Even apple copy Samsung UI By moving apps from a Screen which Samsung Has Been doing for almost a century! And yet your review is not Very innovative by making this video. It takes time to improve a device little by little, but I guess in your opinion your in a hurry and thats why this video was not properly informative! #nothingelsetotalkabout
I like how samsung is taking designs to a whole new level. The comparison about if the watch and earbuds look like apples its like
saying tesla invented cars just cuz it has 4 wheels and looks like one regardless if electric or not, the headphones and wireless earpieces have been there before these two, made by many companies and so have the smart watches so i don't get why do they stick to say the one that makes it more sleek and refined is now copying the other one. Let them innovate in their own way, give them credit and just enjoy tech, it should be fun not toxic and full of drama.
I didn't know Samsung has an innovation problem? All I know is they pioneered the foldables, flip, AI, Galaxy Ring , etc. and competitors are just copying them. This channel has to be a Samsung hater. Totally pointless video. And this is coming from a Samsung and Apple user.
Unsubscribing to filter out hate videos.
0:08 – FYI, I'm still using the Beans. Both my work & social life demands that I NOT use ANC/noise-isolation, so these are perfect. (And I personally hate any earbuds that use those horrible rubber-tip things)
3-4 years after purchase, I'm still getting all-day podcasts & audiobook listening from them, without having to top-up in the case!
And, I'm the only person around with this style – everyone else has the white-tampons hanging from their ears.
for your information apple has never innovated on nothing. only thing apple is good for is marketing and making ppl BELIVE there the only brand they will ever need to live or else they cant breathe. maybe i should make this video a true Android with real data. and samsung did not copy the apple ultra as samsung made square watches in the first generation and Gear5 so they went back to copy themselves or a few swiss made luxury watches.
The apple watch looks like the Samsung gear which came before it. The new Samsung buds (which I never liked that look) look like the airpods, which is just the normal wired earbuds without the wires. Which has been around forever
I've been Team Samsung since the galaxy s3 and even had a Samsung flip phone, so Samsung I stay. I love my s24 ultra, loving my watch 5 pro and my buds pro 2, but I just pre ordered the Buds Pro 3 and come christmas watch 7 ultra will be round my wrist
I think they should consider bringing back features such as the home buttons, the headphone jack, and SD card slot at this point.
If Samsung isn't innovating then what do you say about Apple?
Hit the ceiling it absolutely correct, every Asian company does folding phones better than Samsung, there scared to take new leaps an bounds, they have reached there plateau, sad Huawei got kicked out the market, they were keeping apple an Samsung on there A game!!!!!
