                Comparing the S4 and S5, the LTE-A was the only real reason to upgrade.

                Guess I was right to skip this round, maybe I'll get the Note 4 if they don't skimp on that as well.

You need to understand, Samsung is a Korean company, and in Korea everyone and their dog owns a smartphone, another reason it is only exclusive to Korea I am sure has to do with display yield issues, it's easier to sell a handset to only 40-50 million people that world wide.

                    AnonD-72568, 19 Jun 2014That's why I won't buy from Samsung again, if we're not kor... morewow that's an incredibly stupid reason not to buy from any manufacturer. so what if they don't sell it outside their home country? their local market is strong enough to warrant such exclusivity. it's a sound business strategy.

                          They would probably not have so suddenly had to do this, if sales weren't so bad in Korea, especially with the embarrasing 3:1 ratio LG G3 sales success.

                                    That's why I won't buy from Samsung again, if we're not koreans we're not eligible for the best of the brand ! Wrong marketing sammy, people gonna go elsewhere
