      Anonymous, 31 Jul 2018Bla bla bla it's chinese, low quality etc muh heatsink, . ... morePeople have a on a habit of saying bad about Chinese SMARTPHONES due to very old track records of Chinese PHONES. Truth is - Chinese smartphones are doing very well in several cafeterias at low costs that well-known tops dogs are failing to do even at high costs.

Samsung tastes bitter in this regard, been improving at snails pace and will not come close to OOS or stock pure android anytime soon. Samsung is after their own echosystem and its been ugly.

            To all the price stuff, s9 is like 50k and op6 is 35k, what does it offer better except for ip rating, display and camera while being worse in software and performance? Besides, if anyone is buying 35k phone, he would generally pay extra 15k for a much better phone if it is worth it...

              Check all the professional reviews, gsmarena,anandtech, look at jerryrigeverything , the built quality of OP6 is on par with other flagships.
              If you properly build a smartphone you don't need a heatsink, look at the anandtech review, the op6 runs cooler than the S9+ with heatsink because different internals.
              The OP6 official prices it is still lower than the other flagships and as you can find the latter discounted you you can also import OP6 straight from china paying even alower price.

                In my country, OP6 costs 600€ while the P20 Pro costs 750€ and the S9 Plus almost 650€. Sorry, this phone might be a good deal for some but definitly not here.

                  Anonymous, 31 Jul 2018Bro that was back in the day when the OP1 costed 300€. Now ... moreYou must be kidding. While not exactly half, it's still almost 60% of those premium flagships (less 50% if you compare with Apple), while delivering 90%.
                  Actually it should be not 90%,but more than that, because in some aspects it's better than premium flagships.
                  For example, if you prioritize software performance and support over camera quality, you would still buy the OP6 even if you have the budget for an S9+.

                    Sammy has this questionable way of doing business, they launch a phone let's say Note 8 at $950 and after a 7-8months it dives down considerably to about $520, then there's the case of design change which happens every two years, they should have at least added more peripherals like wireless charge, etc on the second year released phones; then there's the competition like Xiaomi and Huawei that you could easily have a more than decent phone for almost 2/3 of a sammy equiv priced phone on the launch day
                    no wonder sammy's beat 3:1, who would wait two third of a year to buy a note 8 when they could have a Oneplus 6 for $550 as it hits the stores

                      samsung is concured by xiaomi in midrange and op in flagships.only one way out-
                      manufactured a flagship with their top of line display processors huge battery capacity and please please stock android and price is between 45k for that no r&d is required.so cost cutting is there . and profit is also there and by name of samsung they can easily be crown once again..

You're picking the lowest online sale price you can find. No guarantee of an actual delivery or when it will actually be delivered.
                              (As a side note; you have to have a German address to be able to buy a phone from Germany. They've "always" had that rather pointless law in a futile attempt to prevent "burner phones".)

Flagships wen for $550 to 650 then 750 and now 850-1000 over the years. Pixel Samsung S9+ Note Iphone are all 850+ One plus is still a Great deal cheaper. The entire marked pricing is crazy its not one plus only whos price has jumped.
