We prefer practical use (fast to get the job done) rather than fancy, gimmicky stuff.
Apple is innovation.

Customization is a nice thing and it always looks nice and fresh but sometimes you just need to get fhe job done, fast.

        Gilda, 21 Nov 2017No thanks. I have never had a reason to complain about ipho... morea 50$ Chinese phone also doesn't hang. its about what your phone is capable to do. iPhone is speedy and other fancy stuff but it can do shit when compared to the power of Android where you can customize every single aspect of mobile computing.

          Bad idea, iPhone folks are there due to speed and brand-following. They won't switch to Android flagship even if Samsung present 160mp full-frame multi-drivers phone to them.

          They should aim for other flagship users of Android. I am sure that few will be convinced to switch from LG/Xiaomi/Vivo/Meizu/Google to their phones.

            They say, grass is greener on the other side......its until your on the other side.....its a desert!! Been with iphone now its Note 8. More features period.

              No thanks. I have never had a reason to complain about iphones which have been super reliable and hassle free throughout all the years. Oh and the part where they don’t lag is always a big bonus.

                      wer, 21 Nov 2017Is this really strange for you ? I'm not to be rude. Of course this phenomenon has made me wonder. It's kinda strange how the Koreans brainwashed and turned in the the Apple sheeps.

                        I had only used the S8 for a few minutes, I'm still not impressed with the speed. It was OK, not great.

                          I tried a Samsung Galaxy and I got bored after two weeks. Just too busy with lots of useless gimmicky features. Samsung is inferior to iPhone.

                                In some point people might get sick of supporting local when someone else offering something better? That's why i bought iPhone after many Nokia phones.

                                    I'll never be an IPhone user if I were a Korean. I've been a Samsung loyalist since the Galaxy S3 back to 2012.

                                    I also have given the iPhone 5 a try, but after a couple of weeks I sold mine and stick with Samsung till now. It's questionable how can a South Korea citizen choose Apple's iPhone instead of Samsung flagship?

                                        They already did this at least in Canada with the S6x and Note5. The price was.... CAD 1. Really. And you could try it for a month. But this deal is better. You didnt got any perks by paying the device
