I'll wait till everyone buys the phone and complains about something before I invest..

 

Is there a simple way to just make songs you dl to your phone a ringtone without dl an app to make ringtones?

 

That's why I miss Android because you can just make the song a ringtone with one touch.

Expected.  They are just playing catchup now.  All this time to develop and all they added was .7 inches to the screen.  Even the 6 plus is behind Ms. Android top end phablet phones in screen resolution and they finally add NFC to their phones.

 

They made it slimmer, larger, and faster.. as expected.. Phablets are overrated.. It's not about size.. but about worthiness

So overrated they were FORCED to make one because miss Galaxy Note was running away with the market?

 

Apple isn't in the Phablet market so can't run away with a market that has 0 competition   :umm: a market where they're losing market share :lol:

 

I wouldn't say they were forced.. I believe Apple took their time to give Apple users the best experience they can with a real smartphone on Apple's iOS :)

Samsung Electronics' operating profit fell to a two-year low in the second quarter as it lost market share, despite still shipping nearly a third of all smartphones worldwide. 

 

Research firm Canalys says Samsung lost its title as No. 1 smartphone player in China, the world's biggest market, to Xiaomi Inc during the April-June quarter. It continued to lose market share in other emerging markets, analysts say, undercut in part by rivals producing increasingly attractive products at much lower prices in the lower end of the market. 

 

Part of the blame goes to the Galaxy S5, which is seen widely as a disappointment since its global launch in April. Research firm Counterpoint estimates the flagship premium phone was outsold by the much older Apple iPhone 5S in May, and analysts say it failed to deliver major improvements from its predecessor.

 

 

:coffee:
