Nautilis , 28 Mar 2017Haha what utter rubbish! Your just an Apple user posing as ... moreContrary to your standard response (in your first paragraph anyway) I have only used 2 iPhones in my life, a 4s and a 6s. I used the 4s for less than a month and 3 months the 6s.

I wish I could lay my hands on a Pixel in my country. Nothing! No stock anywhere. The only one I saw in a shop is ridiculously priced. By the way, I have used all Nexus phones, bar the Galaxy Nexus, from the Nexus S to 6P. Let's agree that what is coming out of Android camp, like you said, in this quarter is boring!!

    AnonD-180494, 28 Mar 2017Meanwhile in Singapore http://www.channelnewsasia.com/ne... moreWhat are the odd? Lol. Just right after Note7 wants to make a comeback and just two days before S8 unpacked event. All of a sudden a Samsung Store decide to caught fire. Nice jokes from Singapore. A little too early till April. I bet more news like this will comes. You'll see.

      AnonD-643350, 28 Mar 2017Why not the US? They are belittling others,by this they mea... moreNo, because Americans have the tendency to sue people over everything and Samsung doesn't want to get involved in a long and costly court battle.

        Sounds like an April fools joke to me...

          "...solely to reduce and minimize any environmental impact"? A load. The environmental impact exists whether the devices are sold or not. And may in fact be larger by distributing the devices as some people probably just bins the devices in the end. Unless of course Samsung itself planned on doing just that. On the device not becoming available in the US - could it be because the risk of explosion is not completely eradicated and Samsung is afraid of more expensive recalls or lawsuits version 2?

                  This is such a good news. There's no doubt in my mind that the price would be much lower now.

                    Galaxy Note "Misfire"

                            I hope the refurbished units won't have the same fate. Samsung can fix the battery issue before flying them off the shelves. I'll sure buy one if I get a good deal.

                              if the price is right and no removal of features (addition is a bonus) but only a smaller battery, then YES.

                              Android ftw !

Stupid really. Doesn't sound like something a big company would ever contemplate doing...

You know, I personally think using iphone is a better option if you travel to Hong Kong or China a lot. I assumed you can afford any flagship phone out there. You shouldnt be looking at refurbished phone.
