Writing about an embarrassing moment that happened to me in a tech store.
Yesterday, I went to a tech store to buy a printer. While waiting to get billed, I decided to check out the Samsung Galaxy S25 just to see how it felt, as I've been thinking about getting a second device. However, the notorious green line problem is what has been holding me back.
After a few moments, a clueless salesman walked up and asked what phone I currently use. I told him that I use multiple devices, but my daily driver is a Nothing Phone (2). To be honest, he got surprisingly furious. He told me that Nothing is just another Chinese brand
headquartered in London purely to manipulate people, claiming their phones are terrible and don't come close to brands like Motorola, Vivo, or Samsung.
He insisted I should go with the S25 because 'it's a Samsung.' When I brought up my concerns about the green line issue, he got even more upset. He claimed that the green line happens to every phone with an OLED display and warned that it would inevitably ruin my phone in the coming year. He spouted a ton of nonsense, treating me like someone who knows absolutely nothing about tech. He even called the CEO, Carl Pei, a 'number one scammer' who just tricks 15-to-25-year-olds into buying his brand. Honestly, these days, even a 15-year-old has more tech knowledge than that guy. He just kept talking trash about the brand.What is your opinion about such behavior.
