AnonD-181216, 12 Mar 2015No way. Are the same phone. Plus the Digital TV... http:... moreMy bad. You're right. Wouldn'd be the 1st time. The Quattro is named Win here in Brazil. Other makers also change names here - Droids are usualy RAZR here, Droid Turbo is Moto Maxx, etc.

    Gizmos are freakin' overpriced in Brazil. The 1st gen Zenfone 5 with 1.2GHz SoC, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory, 3G, costs about the same as Galaxy Win 2. The Zenfone 2 will surely cost north of $400 here.

                          A smartphone is a smartphone.Price and features depending the money the person have.but, basically, all smartphone have the main caracteristcs, like photo, video, gps, wifi, etc, etc.

                            AnonD-286474, 11 Mar 2015One of the less known Samsung sub smartphone namesNot in Brazil. Galaxy Win is a very very popular phone here.

                              Jose, 11 Mar 2015Nothing new here folks, keep it moving!! Dear Samsung, ... moreActually it is quite a good bang for your buck here in Brazil - yes, we are in a bad shape here.

                              Sammy would have to worry if we had HTC, ZTE, Xiaomi (this might come until June), and a plethora of other brands here.

                              There are virtually no other 2015 phones already available in the same cost bracket offering better specs. Moto E 2015 does, but the selfie cam is inferior, and the main camera lacks flash. And not yet available to boot.

                              If Redmi 2 or Redmi Note were already up for grabs and in the same price bracket, then Sammy would be in trouble.

                              Perhaps not. Brazilians are conservative when it comes to brands. Chinese products have a bad history here. Even more so on items expensive here, like gizmos and cars. Support is another issue. Only if Xiaomi has support as well distributed as Sammy it might have a chance.

                                JoBs, 11 Mar 2015No difference with Core Prime...I thought Samsung wanted to... moreQuite some differences - display resolution, selfie camera, main camera, display size...

                                Bu I do agree Sammy has way too many models and they are virtually indistinguishable from each other.

                                  AnonD-373923, 11 Mar 2015Name is different but speces wise same boring.... Seriousl... moreGalaxy Win sold like cold water in the desert here in Brazil. Lumias, not even close.

                                  Don't get me wrong. Hardware wise, Lumias are nice, and a great bang per buck. But Windows Phone is a no-go in Brazil, not even close to 10%,if I recall correctly.

                                  I bought a Galaxy Win for my dad last November. He is very happy with it. He uses it basically for playing Freecell and chatting via Whatsapp. The phone is more than adequate for both roles. The low resolution display is a non issue, he is using reading glasses for some years now.

                                      No difference with Core Prime...I thought Samsung wanted to trim down its line of phones.

                                        Dear Samsung,

                                        As much as I enjoy using your devices such as S3, S4, S5, and the Note series, you really need to set yourself apart.These budget friendly phones with minimal specs are simply not cutting it! Increase these specs or just drop the entire "Galaxy win line"

                                        The competition for the sub $300 market is heating up and this phone is not going to make a dent.
