YouTuber FreeZia Embraces Samsung Galaxy After Controversial Remarks

YouTuber FreeZia, who previously sparked controversy with her remarks about Samsung phones, has now embraced the Galaxy series.

On the 29th, FreeZia uploaded a video titled 'This Phone is Now Mine. FreeZia Visits Hot Spots with Galaxy' on her YouTube channel 'THE FreeZia'.

In the video, FreeZia unboxes the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and showcases its use in her daily life. After checking photos taken with the phone's selfie camera, she expressed satisfaction with the image quality, particularly praising the color and skin tone representation.

Earlier, on the 8th, FreeZia had stirred debate online by stating on her channel, "Honestly, if my boyfriend used a Galaxy, I wouldn't like it. The thought of him taking pictures of me with that phone is annoying."

About 20 days later, FreeZia addressed the controversy, saying, "I didn't expect it to become such a big issue," and clarified, "It wasn't meant to demean Galaxy or dislike the Samsung brand." She explained that her previous dissatisfaction stemmed from not liking photos taken with a Galaxy phone.

Towards the end of the video, FreeZia added, "Through this opportunity, I've come to appreciate the Galaxy's charm. Moving forward, I'll showcase various aspects regardless of the phone model."

The video prompted numerous comments from viewers, such as "Amazing how she accepted feedback immediately," "Smart response," and "Handled it well, as expected from a queen."

Meanwhile, FreeZia faced backlash in 2022 for introducing counterfeit luxury items as genuine on her channel. After apologizing and taking a hiatus, she returned five months later, sharing daily vlogs, mukbangs, and beauty tips to reconnect with her fans.
