        RickGH, 12 Sep 2016Seriously, how many phones does Samsung release every year?... moreRemember 2014? It was Samsung confusion year. 12 different tablets,
        Note Pro (12.2 and 8.4), Note 10.1, Tab S (10.5 and 8.4), Tab 4, Tab 3 lite and many other variants in 3G and LTE;
        new Galaxy A series along with the new Alpha,
        many Galaxy Core series ,
        S5, S4 LTE-A, S5 LTE-A (with and without QHD), S5 Octa, S5 Plus,
        Grand Prime, V, Young, Ace 4, Mega 2,
        S Duos, Ace, S5 Sport, S5 Active, Avant,
        Beam, W, ATIV SE.

        In 2015 we got the J series that replaced most of the weird Galaxy Core, Young, V and other weird and almost unsupported brandings EXCEPT the Grand Prime (why? I do not know, but it had great support from KitKat to Lollipop 5.1.1, very unexcepted from a phone under 200$ that is made by Samsung).

        The J series was less confusing in 2015.
        Then we had the Galaxy On series. Something between A and J.
        We also had weird Xcover thing. Resistant but stuck on Kitkat.
        The Galaxy E series came but did not lasted.


        In 2016 we have these brandings:

        S- High-end.
        Note- High-end.
        A- Mid-High end.
        C- China Mid-High end.
        On- Mid-End.
        Prime- Mid-low end.
        J- Low-end.
        Z- Tizen.
        And of course tablets and smartwatches.

            i hate samsungs design, but this is most beautifull samsung so far. They should also redesign old fashioned back and menu button signs. for me those are most awfull thing on any Samsung phone. And after all, hope it wont explode:)

                        I'm pissed off by the fact that Samsung mid-range phones are not really that cheap & yet they do NOT include notification LED's. I don't have any hope that this model will have one because the higher models don't have one (A9 & the A9 Pro) & also the previous A8 model didn't include one either!
                        That really sux!

                          DonAlduck, 12 Sep 2016I know these are just renders...but where are the speakers?... moreCant u see that on top right

                            Samsung is going to keep their stupid obsession with glass as it seems, time to move to other OEMs.

                              Looks nice but will be overpriced i think

                                when i'm looking at this phone I see the same design that Samsung Galaxy S1 had back in 2010, but just with newer materials and more premium look ... :)

                                  I know these are just renders...but where are the speakers? :D It's neither on the bottom or on the back :D

                                    Am I the only one who think the design is much cooler than that of the S7?
