AnonD-212908, 07 Apr 2017I don't understand this logic. Why South Korea deserves 6Gb... morebecause its their home town, and they will buy samsung no matter what. same with apple in usa, sony in japan, many chinese brands in china etc. they all mix a pinch of nationalism with business.

            It's simple ...because of Samsung stupidity

              That and the old iPhone 6s would destroy it in performance ONLY by using 2GB of RAM.

              No, S8 series still lag behind iPhones in game opening times. And yes, I'm an Android guy

                            vrvly, 07 Apr 2017What do they need 6gb nowhere in the world just there for? ... moreIt's Samsung that was marketing C9 Pro as "faster because of having 6GB of RAM". So Samsung knows very well what more Ram means to android phones, so they only used 4GB in EMEA and US versions because they're cynical about it "fans would buy it anyway, so why bother competing?"

                              JMTM, 07 Apr 2017so sammy fanboys tell me... how is Samsung any better than ... moreFanboys will remain fanboys mate, no in using logic/facts against them.
                              I personally am going to wait for the next Mi, OnePlus or even Axon to come out before I even consider buying a 2017 flagship. That way, I at least will know that I'll be getting the best value for my money. Screw Samsung (read: Apple) with all their gimmicks and astronomical price tags.

                                ...and us UK customers get screwed over...where are our dual sim versions and the extra on board memory. We get a stripped down version and have to pay more. Samsung,Huawei,Sony all pulling the same stunt. I won't entertain it.

                                    this is so wrong. when tech companies get it?

                                    people who buy a phone like the samsung S8 or LG G6 or sony XZ spending nearly 1000 EUR/USD are crasy about technology.

                                    this is the worst marketing ever as the target group knows everything about the phone. they want the best available. specs like ram and CPU should not differ in different markets. hardware discrimination is as bad as price discrimination as large parts of the endconsumer market are totaly transparent since the internet arrived.

                                    the rule for sucess is set by apple. and they might be the only tech company in the 21st century which really understood what marketing is all about. as a marketing professional i really have to admit that even if i don't own a single apple product. the rule for mobile phones they set is "one world, one phone". Tim Cook is breaking it up a bit and we will see where it leads.

                                    samsung tries so hard to be like apple and at some points they are doing really a good job - but it seems they don't get the point on this one. one phone in 55 million variants. SD or exynos, 4 or 6 gb ram. this makes no sense at all. samsungs marketing department should really define a clear line for their falgship and not this total mess.

                                    IMHO - quite disapointing and not the way a leading tech company should do busniess...

                                        I mean it will cost them close to nothing for putting 6GB instead of 4GB
                                        but they choose to screw their customers by charging more / not even offering it to
                                        customers in NA / EU and more countries

                                        OP3 was released last year with 6GB and it was less than $450
                                        What a joke
