Contradictions

87%

Examples:

  • The article mentions that cracks in the foundation were spotted as early as the Galaxy S6 Edge, but then states that Samsung still uses curved displays on some of its other models such as the Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip. This creates confusion about Samsung's current use of curved displays.
  • The article states that the tetraprism camera allows light to travel for longer in the same space, but then says that Apple is expected to put the state-of-the-art tetraprism lens on both handsets. This implies that there might be a difference between the lenses used in iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Deceptions

87%

Examples:

  • The article claims that cracks in the foundation were first spotted in the Galaxy S6 Edge, but it actually appeared in the Galaxy S6. This creates a false impression about when Samsung first noticed cracks on their phones.
  • The author states that all YouTube ads are being cracked down on globally and provides no evidence to support this claim.
