Lol. Ancient specs at a mid-range price. Only brand loyal people will buy this POS. There are plenty of other better phones at the same if not lower price from brands like Nokia, Huawei and other OEMs.

Great to see Android Go take off. I like the idea of a lightweight efficient version of Android.

Anonymous, 25 Aug 2018Or look for second hand and buy a Galaxy S6 beast for that priceI can definitely see where you're coming from on that plan. Though I would say the S7 would be even better. I keep getting emails from a few different vendors with refurb S7's and even S7 Edge's for less than they S6. Strange how the same stores are asking more for an S6 (basic 5.1" version with 32gb) than an S7 Edge...
But there are a few minor issues with that idea given Samsung's own "first time smart phone" owner comment.
1: How much life does that battery have left in it?
2: Is a first time smart phone owner going to be able to successfully find a fair price on a good phone? Seriously, we can spot a "bad" deal like a phone on it's last legs or worse yet the counterfeit ones from companies like HDC and Goophone. Can someone who's never used a smart phone?

Anonymous, 25 Aug 2018For the price of Galaxy s9 there Are phones with ”similar” ... moreI think the S9 is actually priced pretty reasonable, at least in Germany. Here, it costs € 500, a bit cheaper than OnePlus 6 and cheaper than the newer flagships like LG G7 or U12+, but also cheaper than older Pixel 2 XL or iPhone 8. I am an iPhone user but I give Samsung their good pricing in Europe making it useless to import a Chinese phone and deal with translation, import tax and support issues.

Ofcourse. Samsung is not ”we compete with price” company. They compete with images and customer loyalty. This can cost twice the similar Xiaomi device and still sell better because of that.
