What's going to happen in 2 weeks to make them dirt cheap?
Good question,internet will happend like always
What a great time to launch an overpriced phone, sure people will be standing 2 mtrs apart in a que somewere to purchase it.
Are you assuming that consumer products are only ever purchased based on what we actually need as oppose to what we might fancy at any given point? Value for money will only ever be determined by the person paying the money in the first place, if somebody sees the merit of something you personally do not it shouldn’t be that much if a concern to you should it?
Its not value for money though, regardless of what different people perceive as vfm
Is there anything more comical in life than someone with too higher opinion of their own opinion? Love it how you used the term “we don’t really need” in your original post as if you believe that you are speaking for everyone. Brilliant!!
I don't think their post implies that at all nor do I equate my personal choice in devices as being the same as value for money. With some devices like a processor or graphics card it's fairly straight forward to compare their performance against their cost but while it's more difficult with mobile phones, it's still a relatively straight forward comparison of the features against the cost. Regardless of what you value in a device I don't see how you could think this phone is in any way good value for money given the high cost for the feature set. That's not the same as claiming no-one should buy the device at all it's just what it is, I buy plenty of devices I know full well are poor value for money but they either suit what I do or I flat out want them.
I really dislike the phrase 'solution looking for a problem' because no matter how many times it's incorrectly used, it still goes strong and perhaps rather ironically it was used extensively for the original Galaxy Note which you are using a device directly based on as is pretty much every phone on the market now as it kicked off the drive to larger screen sizes.I am not the author but I think the review grade was in the context of a concept device
My personal view is it is a solution in search of a problem in 2020, come back in five years and let's see if the tech has matured. I'd be stunned if I saw this in the wild and it was a real purchase, not a review sample
No offence to Samsung, my trusty Note 4 is still going strong
For me it wouldn't be a replacement for a 10in tablet but just to have more screen space when out and about where I don't regularly carry the tablet with me and losing nothing over my current phone bar a bit of thickness. I could definitely appreciate when stopping to have a seat and read through websites being able to open to the much larger screen then when heading off just fold it over and chuck it in my pocket. It's not implemented that well but I do quite like the idea LG have had with the V60 to have a case with a second screen on it which isn't as neat as the folding screen but doesn't come with the huge cost or fragile screens either.@Johnmcl7 fair play and valid points. In the past I owned the iPad mini 2 and still have the iPad air 2. Cannot quite picture walking with something opened out like that, but then I invite anyone willing to send it my way
