@jd Nalilito na sila kung anong product nila ang kikita sa market. They’re sales are currently struggling right now, bagsak ang 2nd and 3rd quarter (source: phonearena) kaya we should expect na ipoposition nila ulit ang products as high end status symbol phones.

Why release a product that is still in the alpha stage? Cant it wait for it to become at least beta? (-:

Notice the sides? Xiaomi Mi4 edges ang itsura. Sorry Samsung, 32gb against 64gb? You won’t conquer Chinese and Indian market anymore.

Abe the battery is removable – android central has reported and shown this in their article. Please recheck ;)

Aside from the premium look, I do not see justice in buying this phone for its pricetag. Although, I hope the looks of the New Note 4 would be as nice as the Alpha.

Does Sammy means Alpha for Apple? Anyway I think the strategy of Samsung of releasing a lot of phone in the market is not working…I think they should rethink their strategy.

This is another ridiculous product ng Samsung. They should also consider lowering their price especially in the midrange sa price na php10k what you get is a mediocre phone compare to the likes of sony and xiaomi..

Looking at the video i think the main point is “our flaghip can now stand on its side! The new iPhone can’t anymore!”

So this is Samsung’s lame attempt at “premium” design. Impressive!

1860mAh lang ang kailangan nyan kasi Exynos ang CPU at yan ang pinakamatipid sa lahat. Pinagyayabang yan ng Samsung kasi totoo. BASA-BASA din mga tols ‘wag putak ng putak gaya ng PWET NG MANOK. Sa susunod ‘wag tatanga-tanga ha? Lumalabas pagka NOYPI natin eh.

Your last sentence though.. you sound like dapat ikahiya ang pagiging “noypi.”
loopy loops says:

and you sounded like a kpop fangirl who’s upset coz her samsung got bashed for being lame. yeah you sound more of a chatterbox than anyone here.

@fruitloops dapat 1.5K na lang yan. Mukhang china clone ang itsura.Tapos ibebenta nila ng mahal. Pustahan tayo di magki-click yan o? pustahan ng username? LOL
Stella says:
🌱 Noobs🏆1
@loopy loops And where did you get the idea that that I’m upset? On the contrary, I agree with you but again… it’s your last sentence. That’s all I ever said. Your reply is so off. For a second there, I thought you had brains.
