this is rather expected.i mean they release new phones like every other month.the stock of the old once never gets depleted.lets say an s6,while their marketing it.rumors of the s7 comes out..and the consumer would be like.i better wait for its release.as,if i buy the s6 now nxt nxt month this would become jurassic as the s7 would be out by then.,who wants that?none right.,a lot of people thinks like that.i think like that so i went for sony instead.,

          Hi CEO and VP of Samsung, first i appreciate for your design improvement like model J1 and the Super AMOLED display on J1 ace, but you guys need to listen that, chinese makers are coming out with most affordable price tags for specs 1gb RAM HD display or qHD with IPS and bigger ROM, even apple decided to use hollywood actors to promote sales, because of the chinese makers like Mi, Meziu , Coolpad, honor series of huawei, vivo, oppo, phicomm, and did you know these target the general population and not the rich and famous, so think and act before Samsung closes like nokia, still i would say Samsung has a beauty but need modern look and feel, the design form factor, all thebest, love Samsung for its design build but need more R&D on the same

            Trying to sell a phone with 4GB of RAM (the same as my computer!), that still lags and runs a crappy processor, and yet claim that it is the Next Big Thing is not gonna work.

                    Samsung you are the one causing your demise because you don't listen to your customers. So much advice yet you pay little attention to them and finally it is not your CEOs' buying the phones we are.

                      Bring back expandable storage and replaceable battery and then fire the people who are directly responsible for omitting that 2 features.

                          The reason Samsung and other companies lack in sales is because of lack of brand image and exclusivity. Apple has high end brand name n exclusive iOS software..

                            raonaveen, 17 Nov 2015Why dont they fire their whole software department and use ... moreMost people who hate on touchwiz haven't even used it, at least not recently. Plus stock android often steals many features from other uis, and that has usually been touchwiz.

                                Poor guys, they should consider carpooling on their way to work to accommodate the drop in their salaries.

                                  Yeah, that's right. Fire these lame lazy executives. Seriously, what have they been doing with all the resources and man power that they have? Really Samsung, is Note 5 really the best you could have done? Just look at the recently announced Lenovo Vibe X3 and you will what is your worth?

                                    This is not a wonder. There is a limit on managerial remuneration and it is linked to profit like 11% of profits 10% of profits etc. There will limits imposed by such acts covering companies etc., Paying those directors and Managers over and above such limits will affect compliance and they will incur huge charges. However they will be already paid by another way. Bonus shares other rights already!! None of the salary drops is full related to the company's chipsets, handsets etc.,

                                      If you change back to removable battery with SD card and all those golden features and designs of note 3,note 4 and note edge then everything will be back to normal.
