In the meantime, we’re curious to know what you think about Samsung’s pricing scheme for these two humongous handsets. Assuming that the local price will roughly be the same as the one mentioned above, is either of these smartphones worth that sticker price?

    @randy – the 5.8 – dual / 6.3 – single
    @arvinsim – imagine watching a movie or a video on a 6.3-inch screen
    @Freeje – note 2 is currently at 26,999 with sumsung store / mega is currenly at 22,999 with 16GB internal memory. 4k is 4k and specs are not that far to compare
    @Treng – ok
    @abuzalzal – were did you get the 1k difference? honestly if you are going to compare the actual screen – its better than the note 2
    @marco – i dont vote for the 5.8 even if its dual sim

    With those prices, isn’t it better to get an S3 or Note 2 since the prices on those are going down already?
