        Too pricey, and battery still sucks. Why cant they make a phone with big battery? Who need s a phone that drops dead in less than a day.

        I guess I'll stick with my Note 4 + Zerolemon 10000mah battery pack for another year
        Gives me 2-3 days usage without charging

            I remember the time you paid 400 euro for a high end phone, it's absurd nowadays.

              This phone will retain price best. 940 in Asis isnt bad. USA might have it for the same price or 899.99

And they always fix the playstore and language issue before selling the Chinese ROM variants. Plus our network bands are nearly identical to that of China. So no problem there as well.

                        Andddd... Why won't i buy nokia 8 or Google pixel which would have Android 8.0 . Sammy is going Apple's way. Aurat justify the price. We hope when would we get Android O this when bixby launches 6 months after they announced the phone.

                            $940 is not bad. Most users will buy it after a few months anyway. It should drop close to $600 by early next year if not for holiday season. No need to be hipster that get the phone immediately to show off on the first day of launch. If you cant afford it, act like you cant afford it.

                                        This is a joke of a price for what is essentially an s8 with a pen. Which in turn besides a gimmick curve edge display, is no different than most other competing flagships that could be had at half the price! Samsung and Apple as well btw, should be ashamed for setting these absurd prices to their customers.
