Samsung has come under fire for its apparent imitation of Apple's designs in new products unveiled at Galaxy Unpacked. Users and experts note the similarity of the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Buds 3 to Apple devices, calling them “shameless copies.”
Criticism of Samsung
Reaction to the presentation
At the recent Galaxy Unpacked event, South Korean tech giant Samsung unveiled a number of new products, including foldable smartphones, smartwatches and wireless headphones. However, instead of the expected delight, the company faced a wave of criticism from technical publications, bloggers and even its own fans. The main complaint was that Samsung was too keen on copying the design of Apple products.
Lack of innovation
Social media users have expressed disappointment at the lack of significant improvements in the new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. Many have expressed the opinion that the company seems to be aiming to create "clones" of Apple products instead of offering something original.
Expert opinion
Quinn Nelson, a popular YouTuber from the channel Snazzy Labs, called the new Samsung watch "the most shameless copy of an Apple product in a long time." He also noted that the Buds3 and Buds3 Pro line of headphones look like AirPods clones.
Similarities with Apple Products
Apparently Samsung launched the Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Buds 3 series to compete with the Apple Watch Ultra and the Airpods line. However, many believe that the similarities between the devices have gone beyond healthy competition and into the category of direct copying. When comparing the devices side by side, their visual similarities are truly striking. The Galaxy Watch Ultra not only has a similar design, but also a similar band, and even a name reminiscent of the Apple Watch Ultra.
Media Reaction
Well-known technology publications such as The Verge and Business Insider also joined in the criticism of Samsung. Business Insider published an article with the headline "Samsung's New Ultra Watch and Headphones Are Shameless Copies of Apple." The Verge in its article called the new Samsung Galaxy Buds headphones "blatant AirPod clones in both form and function."
Fan Frustration
Apple Insider's Andrew O'Hara expressed his disappointment with social network X (formerly Twitter), stating that Samsung's release of "a bunch of Apple clones" is boring and a huge failure compared to the company's innovative past.
