Is Samsung now making Huawei knock-off?

    A Smartphone should be 5.0" and it should be easily holdable in our hands Nowadays the screen size is getting bigger, and they name it as infinity displyay. But holding 5.00" inch smartphone is better. from my point of view smartphones which are more that 5.00Inch display are not worth to be in list... i am using pixel 2 ..... #teampixel

        This could be okay if pricing is below 350 euros, but we all know It wont. When A8 was released price was closer to S8. Similar outcome could be here with this device.

          The S series is ok, but otherwise, they should consider hiring a new designer Team.

                Anonymous, 28 May 2018There really is no limit to screen size. A few years ago 5"... moreSoon inadvertently tablets will be produced en masse again (7" screen or more), if this trend continues.

                  For all these people commenting and ranting on Samsung and other Chinese phones, buy an IPhone.

                        Manhurt, 29 May 2018Just buy Huawei or Honor. Simple like that.You are absolutely right! However, there are so many people who are so mind branded that they won't buy other brand besides Samsung, sony... Etc.

                            The camera setup, though. Don't tell me, sooner or later Samsung will have a notched screened model. Designs of smartphones are really getting boring. I love Samsung, but this is what I feel for this model. 😉

                                I predict this must be a 600$+ phone, because Galaxy A6+,with SDM 450,priced 370 Euros,also look at the Galaxy S light luxury 540 Euros.Ultimately a disappointment.This idea of giving low end chipset & a high end price just because of brand-name, although many people will buy this & encourage Samsung to increase their price more.

                                      if the camera is good (aka high end) they might have a winning mid end phone

                                        Some of us (maybe many) are not fans of narrow phones that look like towers in hand. These phs need decent width -about 80mm would be ideal.
