      dude you didn't answer my question what happened to the Note 7 ?!?!?!
      oh btw the S9 was great and the price tag wasn't that bad (still batter then the competition) the problem is that most people are to shallow to notice the difference they look at the S9 and say "this is BULL$HIT nothing changed" and the sells dropped vary badly :&0$(
      so what should Samsung is to recover the money form other things they are good at
      flagships and house electronics ;)

Any way, FE stand for fan edition, so after Note 7 burnout, and airports restrictions, how many people was, a fan of the same phone, and same name? I giesa not to many. Note 8 is also on market long time, and its good phone, really good with s pen, just to big. And thats why i said, from 2017, Samsung overprice more and more own phones, because they lost only in two months about 120 milion of dollars, with Note 7, so they need to get money to recover that. And thats why we have on the market today, Samsung Galaxy A6 Plus, phone with Qualcomm Snapdragn 450, for 370 euros, and thats only aphone with that price. Second phone with similar aspec and same procesor is 149 euros, another 110 euros etc.. But problem is, its no mater how Samsung is well known brand and it is in Europe, its not only one. Because Samsung is not Apple, Android os have 20 more known OEMS, iOS just one, so thats a difference between Apple and Samsung with overpriced phones. Then again S9 is not bad phone, display is great, camera good enough, battery life, for flagahip good, but in mid segment Samsung lost a game, so you're right about their prices today, its not any more 2013 year, where Samsung was with out competiton, at least in new models every week.

Just saying. :D
            But yes this time Samsung is really magnify their prices, even compare only with same brand and some little older phones. It will be better for customers and buyers that first one is 200 euros and the second one 269 euros, and for thaty price including i Samsung brand, 2 years waranty. 100 euros is goin direct to Samsung to recover from Note 7 fiasko. :D

                  I don't get it. Design is similar to J series 17- backside, front flash, loudspeaker grill. Chipset also the same(7870). It is rebranded J for some markets or what. A series usually use glass for backside not metall.

                    Ew. I'm sticking my current smartphone. No thank you, Samsung!

                        75% screen to body ratio, seriously?!!! Even the Galaxy Note 5 has 75.7% screen to body ratio but it's 16:9 display. Thats not even a good 18:9 display!!! Iam not going to buy that Shitsung overpriced A6. ;)

                                There is no way i would call this infinity display.
                                These phones are so ugly.
                                My A7 2016 looks better in terms of design.
                                I wouls rather buy a 16:9 phone with top and bottom bezel rather than this infinity display looking wannabe.
                                All tall phone with bezels are ugly. Lg G6 looks prettker than this trash

                                  WTF!!?!?!!? this is MUCH WORST then I thought XD
                                  since I don't want to "bush" or hate Samsung I will fight there fanboy with the good old long convincing comments >8) first:-
                                  "not just a full screen it is the INFINITY display" on the cost of what? the real screen estate? (which means the part of the screen that you normally use) manufacturers are looking for a way to make there phones with bigger screen and slimmer profile (dimensions) and the tall screen was a good excuse since it has less bezels and more screen to body ratio even if you don't use most of it most of the tall screen is unused then way making it tall? beside the replacement of the physical keys (which is cand be done in 18/17:9 screens)
                                  oh and the A6+ with the SD450 at least they admit that it is better than the exyons
                                  the SD450 can BARELY handle FHD+ so what about the "INFINITY display"?
                                  the chipset is just USELESS exyons 7870? ever SINGLE j7 AND j5 had it (excluding the j7 duo) it is just OUTDATED Samsung make a new one PLEASE stop following Huawei !!!
                                  and the SD450 with that price? Samsung you maybe new on the NEW (batter) chipset business but I want you to look at the competition do they sell it THAT expensive? not because it is "SURPRISINGLY" batter the your iCONIC exyons 7870 BUT because the exyons is OUTdated !!!!!!
                                  and don't forget the exyons can't handle more then 1080p30fps on video recording BUT I have seen the SD doing 4K before
                                  by the way the camera is good it has bigger adapter is something most (if not all) brands ignore and 16MP is pretty good BUT
                                  look at it the secondary camera is only bokeh what is so special about blurring the back ground? why do you want to lose the details?
                                  any way the camera is good for the CLASS not the PRICE BUT have you noticed that Samsung was going a bit Chinese-ish? the 24MP camera and the face ID is a bit too Chinese BUT wider adapter is a great choose BUT like all Ultra HD camera with no auto focus it is ether soft/sharp and noisy and not good for people with long/short arms
                                  the building quality looks promising (specially with removing the SHINY glass back) and it could have screen protection BUT no IP rating? WTF!?!?! it is the key selling point of the A series (and the fancy Samsung logo};$) it is they ONLY thing that made me put Samsung in my phones choose list (I am going to buy a phone) what is wrong with you?
                                  so for the price rang the A6 should 150/200£ and the A6+ something like 250£ and renamed J6/8 what is up with the J series back?
                                  Samsung do me a favor and stick to flagship since this is the ONLY thing your good at
                                  STOP digging you grave with those over priced lowend
                                  or you will be bared by XIAOMI !!! XP

Or 'Retina' (300+ ppi) in Apple hehe.. Just marketing names for 2:1 phones, or phones with more than 300 ppi. Like you see, this is 18:9 phone, top and botton is the same like in any other cheap phone (Redmi 5, Huawei P Smart, for example). But if the price is under 200 euros for A6 then will be ok, or 250 euros for A6+ with SD450. If is it more, then who knows. But it looks ok, similar to J series from last year, at keast on the back.

                                      J7+ is slightly above both A6 and A6+.
