      First Should have been Nokia.. then Ericsson and then Apple... good read.. but Nokia is the best there was...

        I never did like Samsung honestly, but the day I started seeing their current generation Super AMOLED display panels, I started respecting them. Then noticed they are probably the only company who uses their own products in their phones/ other devices, in other words, a true manufacturer. Exactly how many actual manufacturers are out there today? Right now I can't possibly think about a device without a good display, so Samsung it is. Even their camera sensors are getting better!

        Yet Samsung is the only company which has the most number of haters. I mean haters will be haters and some of them have absolutely no life at all, not that anyone cares about those cheap trolls, but still, I keep wondering why.

        Price? Really? What's going on with Sony, or HTC or even that third class company called Low Grade Corporation, aka LG?

        God some people, God bless them.

          galaxy s4 with heart rate scanner? really? that's must be a mistake :D

            Nice Article Guys, Well Written. And even the person who came up with the Idea of this article should be given extra bonus this month xD.
            Anyways, I'm looking forward to the Next Company you Chose. Pick Motorola or Apple if possible. :D

              Really good article.

              PS: Little mistake - The S4 doesn't have a heart rate sensor,but the S5.

              Looking forward for the other articles. :-)

                      Samsung's history is remarkable. I had the S3 and the Note 3, but I wasn't that happy with them. The S6 is a amazing phone that finally brings some speed from Samsung

                          I just love their products. Most of the tech stuff I own are samsungs, from my 2 tvs to air conditionners, fridge and washing machine and most definitely my phones, tablets and my main laptop that I'm using right now ..
