Samsung e5 & e7 is support 4g or not?
E5 and E7 support 3G.
in A5 and A7, the only feature they added is dual sim. and kept the price same as single sim. the weight is also cut by half, i wonder if thats good or bad in build quality terms. E5 and E7 are watred down version,s just not worth . any users for A5 or A7… pls give feedback.
To be frank I have used xiaomi n Huawei n lenovo phones although they offer more bang for buck, their quality cannot be compared to Samsung phones. Samsung offers best quality components more durability and better display to be honest. Samsung is global leader of smartphone and its for a reason.
for 23 k ,you can get lg g2 or nexus 5 or samsung s4 on snapdeal .the last years flagship phone s.
Covering old phone with metals to sell people. Still people buy it.
People have been spoiled by budget phones from moto xiaomi asus. So many want bang for buck devices. But understand all of the products they sell are only online .Samsung sell its products offline also. Samsung has the best brand value so people will buy it even though they are costly.
People are not spoiled, they are aware now. No ullu banaawing….. RIP samsung & it’s mindless pricing habits.
samsung is on the road map of nokia. continues decline in sales.
RIP SAMSUNG
There was an old detergent powder advertisement on doordarshan where Deepika from the famous tv serial Ramayana says that, “wohi safedi, wohi jhaag agar kam daam me mile, toh koi yeh kyun le?” Well samsung listen, xiaomi, and other brands are here with same specs and very very kam daam me mile, toh koi yeh kyun le?
well said 😛
I think, samsung have the best business managers. They launch it overpriced. After samsung lovers (and some dumb people) buy it. They cut the price drastically to attain more customers.
100%……..true.
Samsung…Please hire some young and crazy people in ur design dept…Atleast change the design and charge a premium….otherwise it will just be news…
Too expensive 11k to 17k is OK
Can’t see price 20k to 25k to these mobiles
@shankar samsung means high class .They have r&d give you devices which has superb display great battery life great camera but not like lumia cameras. All this hold good for high end S series not mid range or low end phones.
Yes bro, you are right. I am using Lumia 1020.
Yes Samsung prices are high. at the same time the camera & screen quality is just awesome which I don’t find in any of these Chinese phones.
Winston Churchill once said, you can fool some people at all the time, you can fool all the people for some time but you cannot fool all the people at all the time. Samsung has fooled all the people for some time. Now they can surely fool some people for all the time. Same with all the top notch brands.
Samsung also following Nokia route. Maybe this company also will selling properties shortly. No price computation, and No any new low and middle price handsets.
The galaxy a5 specs seems to be good. But for 25k its not worth buying. From my experience I come to know that there is nothing special in samsung device compared to other brands. We have mi,gionee,asus,lenevo,moto like brands are here offer better quality at half price.
Hai….gogi, please tell it had slow motion video recording option.
I don’t think it has slow motion option.
I think guys don’t bash samsung. They charge for the metal in their phone. Redmi and yureka are not good looking phone. All the samsung phones are looker I meant new phones. I am happy samsung did not charge 40000 Rs like alpha series.Lets see whether they would pull it off.
Samsung A3 specifications are exactly as in Xiaomi Redmi2s, only that Redmi has a better screen resolution and a lot better price tag. Samsung, we don’t have any hopes from you, do we?
Who cares? crap mobile.
Does e7 support direct video calling?
I think all of these 4 phones do.
This year will be very bad for samsung actually they dont want improve thereself
Gogi are these all Dual Sim ? Especially E7 ?
All handsets support dual SIM.
Samsung ! Samsung !
Wake up Dear !
It’s 2015 not 2012 and customers are no more the same that you can make fools with your outdated craps having high price tags !!!!
GET WELL SOON !
It’s actually becoming hilarious!
Hi Gogi Bro…Happy New Year to you..does samsung think people will will pay 20k for a qHD mobile…Really its high time for samsung to wakeup and set prices par with other brands …my price tag for these phones as folliws….A3@11k…A5@14k…E5@15k…E7@18k
Still routine boring designs from Samsung.. At least they stepped down little bit in pricing.. BT not at all competitive in present mrkt.. Bye bye… Samsung…. RIP….
Thats Strange When Smartphone clicking Smartphone 😛
Hello Gogi. What about lollipop update to these galaxies? Sorry Samsung waiting for Yureka.:-)
The question was asked at the press release, they said all premium Galaxy series will get the update (this includes the 4 new handsets).
Will Samsung ever learn in pricing their devices. Giving S-Amoled and Metal body doesn’t mean price should be premium.
Over the years manufacturing cost of super Amoled panel has fallen to almost same level as IPS LCD panel still Samsung is charging high price. On other hand chines brands are giving high resolution display made by reputed brands like sharp at rock bottom price. Latest redmi 2s has HD panel made by sharp a well known Japaneses brand.
Overpriced crap launched by shamesung all of dem.
But Note3 neo available at 22000. Then why to go with these. Asus xiaomi and Micromax doing great job. Samsung is going Nokia way. Please someone tell Samsung to do some market research and price the handsets accordingly. Otherwise RIP SAMSUNG
Overpriced handsets:-P
Although specifications looks good but price is not competitive enough. It will be hard for Samsung… They are not learning.
