Sabulikiti, 31 Mar 2022Why can't Samsung cater this kind of phones here in t... moreSabulikiti, I just bought some of the last stock here in Australia. Be consoled in that the screen resolution of this phone is *terrible* by modern cellphone standards. I might well be buying my next phone from the Philippines because this phone is one of the last models by major manufacturers here in Aust., England and the U.S. to have both a 3.5mm (analog) earphone socket and user replaceable battery. More modern USB-C socket only phones *all* have *poor* (Bluetooth *only*) audio quality, limited by the USB-C standard. And the abolition of user replaceable batteries is a planned obsolescence scam plain and simple, since replacing the battery can extend a phone's life by around 5 years, and manufacturer replacement, even when still available, is expensive and can destroy the poorly serviceable (by design) phone. At least in the Philippines 3.5mm audio sockets haven't been abolished, because the Philippines populace can't be scammed for quite as much money as in the other countries I mentioned, since on average they don't have as much. Buy yourself a very high quality impact resistant case for a Philippines phone instead, drop resistance has more to do with the case than the phone.

AMD, 19 May 2021You think 720p is enough? If you have iphone with 4.6 inch ... moreEverything is just fine for that phone.Been using Xcover2, 3, and 4s, now that one..
Bigger screen - bigger heat and power consumption. For normal user is perfect. For working guy as me it's more than capable:
- can connect USB endoscope camera, or usb memory stick
- can create test waves via 3.5mm audio jac
- enough space for applications and useful sd card slot for documents
- well working fm radio
- enough resolution to make useful the browser and YouTube if need...
- even not rooted can have plenty of good software and also able because is android to install my software
- the camera is good enough to do the job required..
The price with contract was about 200e..
So? What to complain for.. Just some teenagers mumble "oh this oh that...".
What 1200e iPhone can help me in my work in durty conditions?
Damn morons..

Mr. Sam Sung, 04 Feb 2021The return of the 16X9 screen!!! A truly pocket-sized body... moreMy thoughts exactly! Just wondering if it'll work on T-Mobile or AT&T VoLTE here in the USA. I love the fact that you can actually turn the phone off - IE pull the battery and not just turn off the user interface. Big Brother: Let's design a device with a microphone, a camera, and a tracking device that you can't power down and then socially engineer everyone that they really have to have one and take it with them everywhere. Mission accomplished!!! ;-)

I request samsung and all other companies to make some phones with display screen less than 6 inches also. The big phone is not comfortable to handle and looks very very weird . Not all can buy Iphones which has sensible screen size.

AMD, 19 May 2021You think 720p is enough? If you have iphone with 4.6 inch ... more1280x800@5.3 = 284.8 PPI
1280x800@7 (tablet) = 215.63 PPI. Still looks fine.
1366x768@7 = 223.87 PPI
1366x768@5.3 = 295.68 PPI
And now, watch:
1480x720@5.3 = 310.54 PPI. Better than any of them.
300 PPI is understood to be the Retina breakthrough point.
Consider the iPhone 8, which has a 4.7 inch screen.
750x1334/1334x750@4.7 = 325.61 PPI.
1334x750@5.3 = 288.75 PPI.
See?
