No Samsung Pay
No IP68
SD660
No OIS in camera
Still Cost 35k

28k with above flaws added would have been a good phone.

Samsung will be next Nokia if they don't put competitive pricing.

At least put some good processor and price it right. SD660 is not bad but pricing it right would have created a buzz. But don't think so it will create. I'm Samsung user myself but finding it difficult to switch to new models.

            Overpriced. Unexpected things happening. Please call Marvel Hero to save me. I'm injured.

              We got it! Samsung put high price to recover loss made in Q1 this year due to heavy flood (tsunami) by famous Redmi Note 5 pro. It had lost market share and will happen if they continue high prices. They must go to school now.

                Js, 25 Aug 2018Who will buy this crap. Rs. 34,990/- for SD 660 are you kidding. I know right. It's just unbelievable for a midrange device.

                  it would be better If they use Snapdragon 710

                      Nexus 007, 25 Aug 2018Even Asus 5z.. at 35 u can get Asus 5z 256gb variantAll this confirms that only sammy boys will buy it

                        Despite being pushed to number 2 slot by xiomi, samsung never wants to learn from mistakes...instead of pricing at 18k has priced double..we expected tab s4 launch.it is nowhere happening in india..just waiting for mi tab to launch...tablet is area where samsung is unchallenged by any android venders ..its time huwai does something...samsung is facing a fall like nokia...we may soon have to say farewell to samsung

                                    Price is very high. The price should be equal of its and other brands performance.

                                      Interesting design. A new direction for Samsung, but it does not suit their trademark of having centrally placed cameras.
