AI in phones right now feels like hype and just a marketing gimmick. Even on my iPhone, the so-called “Apple intelligence” is worse than the old Siri. The AI features, like the one that’s supposed to summarize stuff, just make things worse. Same with the Samsung S24 Ultra—tried using its AI to correct some text, and honestly, it turned out worse than if I typed it myself. It’s like they’re just using AI as a selling point, but it’s not really that smart or helpful for us users.

A key lesson I’ve learned that I would like to share is to wait at least three months after a product launch before making a purchase. By then, platforms like Shopee or Lazada often offer discounts that can bring the price down by RM500 to RM700 compared to the launch price. For even greater savings, waiting six months can yield further discounts. This has been my strategy since the Samsung S22 Ultra – avoiding the launch rush and getting better value for money
