They do it do differentiate their phones. If all phones look the same and basically have the same hardware - why bother buying Samsung, when a cheap Oppo is the exact same phone?

Then Samsung won't make lots of money. This way you can have Samsung fanboys that'll swear that Samsung stuff is better and will keep buying it.

Because Samsung is made outside of China and will not be tariffed.

Wrong. I buy the Samsung Notebecause it has a pen. And I also hate all the Samsung Android Addons.
