Shamshung, what are you smoking these days?

At the price of 1 E7, I could buy :

1. Two Meizu M1 notes or 1 M1 note with 64gb otg usb with lots of change to spare

2. 1 Huawei Honor 6 with 64gb memory card and mi earphones

3. 2 Zenfone 5s with lots of accessories

4. Mx4 pro with better specs all around

5. Xperia Z Ultra or LG G2 (in online shops)

Katol pa, Samsung.. katol pa..

Pansin ko lang sa mga mahihilig mag comment dito.

Kapag Chinese-owned brands ang nag-release:

Pangit daw kasi made in China
Substandard daw
Sirain daw

Kapag mga kilala o multinational yung brand:

Overpriced daw
Walang kwenta raw ang specs
Mas maganda pa raw ang [insert OEM1 OEM2].

Ang dapat kasi isipin ng oems eh bang for the buck na ang labanan ngayon. Samsung phones for me are really overpriced. Look at other brands like asus, meizu and xiaomi. They make phones with good build quality, impressive design and better specs to price ratio. Kahit may pera ka o nagbubudget pag marunong ka tumingin ng specs you can see how samsung is not really after user satisfaction.

may price premium ang e5 and e7 dahil sa super amoled technology na gimamit sa screen nila, and the 64 bit architecture ng processor. their price is just about right given the specs. Amoled screens for me are way better than any other screen type, but its a matter of subjective preference.
