More info bout technical matters

3 Layers memory

You must bear in mind that new phone from Samsung and LG offer 3 layers memory for phone which is internal memory, internal SD (/mnt/sdcard) and external SD (/mnt/sdcard/external_sd).
where other or old phone have 2 layers which is internal memory and external SD (/mnt/sdcard).

when download gameloft games, data file is save at default directory ( /mnt/sdcard/),
it is save to external sd card for 2 layers memory phone but comes to 3 layers phones (SGS,SGS2 and SGW),
it save to internal sd, so only 2GB can use for games. ( For us the SGW users)

must root to use 3rd party apps to mount , or swap your memory (internal sd and external sd), or patch ur games apk file (change the default data directory save to mnt/sdcard/external_sd) only can move data files to external sd in SGW,
bear in mind.

That time i went to melaka PC fair to a HTC booth and oh god they condemn Samsung like mad. Says that samsung amoled LED screen when you see long will spoil your eyes, and then they also mentioned that samung is just like plastic once drop the back cover for sure crack =o

Anyway there is a link on facebook now condemning abut this samsung phones, apparantly there are quite many unsatisfactory samsung users around which frequently need to go back to the service centre as they have problems such as overheating, total hang/blankness of phone, but the thing is many of them just use for less than 10 days. Even with the SME warranty they are not able to change the phone for a new one 1-1. sweat.gif

Wifi problem back again. Spent whole day looking for answers but to no avail.

Problem: wifi connected but no data is coming in (first minute got data but slow then slowly fade away). All other devices work fine in my household.

What I tried already: factory reset phone, factory reset modem, change modem frequency b/g/n.

I don't think SGH will provide us coz if they will all of their new phone models powered by ICS sales will drop.

But I have confidence we will get it at post#2 from arco68@XDA has started to work on the kernel and venturing in the source codes drool.gif

Totally agree. Most of the ppl, now if say want to buy phone. Either iPhone4 or SGS2. They only know this two models. Because they look nice, can play games... nothing else tongue.gif

Actually sensation XE spec is not bad one... Optimization of the hardware does matter. Adreno 220 is very powerful. SGSII T-mobile version uses this and said it outperform normal SGSII with Mali. I saw it somewhere. Lazy search and put the link here tongue.gif
Seeing how adreno 205 does on Galaxy W, Imagine double the performance should be how 220 with the dual core CPU can perform. Adreno 220 is quite underrated IMO.

Totally agree. Most of the ppl, now if say want to buy phone. Either iPhone4 or SGS2. They only know this two models. Because they look nice, can play games... nothing else  tongue.gif
But I can't say much. Money is theirs, they want burn it also I can't stop them icon_rolleyes.gif
Actually sensation XE spec is not bad one... Optimization of the hardware does matter. Adreno 220 is very powerful. SGSII T-mobile version uses this and said it outperform normal SGSII with Mali. I saw it somewhere. Lazy search and put the link here  tongue.gif
Seeing how adreno 205 does on Galaxy W, Imagine double the performance should be how 220 with the dual core CPU can perform. Adreno 220 is quite underrated IMO.

Yup.. peer pressure I guess. Buy edi then this and that dunno then end up complaining bout the phone. Lmao.

I really need a pro's help.
Wifi problem back again. Spent whole day looking for answers but to no avail.

Problem: wifi connected but no data is coming in (first minute got data but slow then slowly fade away). All other devices work fine in my household.

What I tried already: factory reset phone, factory reset modem, change modem frequency b/g/n.

Maybe not your phone prob.. Try change your modem security setting.. wpa or wpa2 to wep..
Else yo take back to your samsung center and ask them will better..

It appears that there’s no automatic configuration or manual configuration guide for your Samsung I8150 Galaxy W.

But I have confidence we will get it at post#2 from arco68@XDA has started to work on the kernel and venturing in the source codes  drool.gif

That time i went to melaka PC fair to a HTC booth and oh god they condemn Samsung like mad. Says that samsung amoled LED screen when you see long will spoil your eyes, and then they also mentioned that samung is just like plastic once drop the back cover for sure crack =o

Anyway there is a link on facebook now condemning abut this samsung phones, apparantly there are quite many unsatisfactory samsung users around which frequently need to go back to the service centre as they have problems such as overheating, total hang/blankness of phone, but the thing is many of them just use for less than 10 days. Even with the SME warranty they are not able to change the phone for a new one 1-1.  sweat.gif

But the power of SGW is not that strong. Actually my post more towards girls... All the girls I know, even my sister want SGS2. SGW doesn't look anything special right? SGS2 looks really nice. That's the thing. The price is 2k(before this), they want it for its big screen and slim profile. Dual core, single core, No core??? They don't care whistling.gif This is just my experience. Not shooting anyone here xD After all, they spend their money, not mine tongue.gif

From the v1 thread, I saw that based on user reviews, the battery life span is amazing, can any current user give an opinion on this? because I think I am going to get a data plan for this phone if I bought it and opening 3G is seriously battery sucking(at least it did for my se phone).

Good question.. How long would it last?

Because I'm planning to pair this phone with a u mobile 28/month plan all day long I guess tongue.gif

So, you warranty period is stated 2 years? And is there like an sms confirmation or something like what alieamin states in his thread (alieamin is a SEP dealer) ?

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1882364&hl=

If so, then it's a better deal than alieamin since it's RM888 and comes with a free SP & free pouch, whereas alieamin is offering it at RM900 with free SP only

1. SMS sending failure
2. Earpiece not loud enough
3. Few user-auto rotation malfunction (fixed by restart)
4. One~Two users-hang when ... forgot
5. Samsung three tier storage format USB Storage and Ext SD, can't install certain software on external SD, eat up internal already precious 1.7GB space. Can be solved by rooting (mount/binding/whatever) or patching the games
6.

Anything else please quote this and continue edit it xD

1. Call voice kinda low
2. SMS problem
3. RAM is actually lower than advertised(the retained part is used by the OS)
4. Need root phone if want to use some other functionalities(common la haha)
5. Samsung can detect whether you had rooted your phone or not and your warranty may be voided
6. About the micro sd, difference between class 4 n 10

You can always go to Courts n try out it out the device....just go to the display counter make sure you bring an Android phone so that the sales person will not bother you with a 'Yes2.!'

I get pissed off when a sales person greets you with a 'Yes' upon reaching a counter...what to do we are Malaysian....Sorry out of topic (OOT) !

Hi guys. Want to get this phone but really worried about camera.

If you are lucky enouggh to already have the phone, can you post test shot. Full size unaltered pics.

Phonearena view says there is lag between shots in lowlight, like indoors. Is that true?

Thx

hey, i just wanna know about games support on sgw. can it support good games? or it only support average games?

it can play some decently high range games but not extremely well, pretty good already..whatever games that xperia play can play - the SGW can play it too provided it isnt an xperia play exclusive.

Hi guys. Want to get this phone but really worried about camera.

If you are lucky enouggh to already have the phone, can you post test shot. Full size unaltered pics.

Phonearena view says there is lag between shots in lowlight, like indoors. Is that true?

Thx
*
I think camera quality is decent lo.

The 'lag' could be due to the lens focusing slowly

Normally most cameras take longer to focus under low light conditions due to the lenses used.

This is the exact quote from phonarena.com
QUOTE
The pictures turned out decent in terms of color representation and detail, but a bit too soft for our liking. Shot-to-shot times are quick outside when the preview function is off, but in more challenging conditions, such as low lighting or close-ups it takes 5-6 seconds for the GALAXY W to focus and capture the next shot. That is annoying at times, and can make you miss important moments.

And most cameras excluding DSLRs has something called shutter lag as well

some people actually asking a lot of this budget phone. they want it to be able to play high end games, camera must able to compare with decent point and shoot cameras (or even dslr), have excellent call quality, earpiece, cheap, longest warranty, strong body, APE glass..that's the problem.

typical of malaysians to want the cheapest yet best quality product..how can cheap + good quality go together? impossible.

Hey... Don't say until malaysian so no good la... That's bad. Why don't you think other way round. We have the budget, we want to utilize it. Compare phone by phone and see which one does the best within our budget. Nothing wrong right? They're just asking whether it can play those games, whether the camera quality is acceptable,... ... ... any prob with that? If you earn money easily and don't think all this make sense, you won't care. For ppl who earned their money with hard work, they must use it wisely and in the best way so that the expenditure worth all the pennies... I don't see a problem here. They ask, because they want the answer. Give them the answer, if it's not up to their expectation, they might lift budget for something else right? They're just trying to understand the potential of this phone for its price point. Seriously, you shouldn't judge this as typical malaysian. This is just a consumer behaviour that tried to fork out the best solution based on the thickness of their wallet.

Btw, living in malaysia, everything is kinda overpriced. Just compare locally, for the life quality we have now, what we pay for life I don't think is worth it. Tax here and there, salary still the same. Under this situation, how can we not compare and find the best before spending money.

Aiyor.. I think people are not demanding every best thing from this phone, but they're evaluating whether this phone suit their requirement and expectation or not sweat.gif
if it can't they will search for other phone or maybe compare between several phones and only finalize their decision sweat.gif

I'm getting my Galaxy W from -Lycus.trading- , RM 93x comes with 8GB MMC with postage included:

you're right saying that in malaysian pretty much everything is overpriced with our measly salaries, totally agree with you - but what i'm upset is seeing people wanting the SGW to perform or be on par with the SGS II - that's just rubbish. Its like asking myvi to perform just like a honda jazz..that's too much to expect out of a car - same goes for the phone - since its a budget phone with great specs all around, what more could you ask for? Something has to give like no gorilla glass and such..but i see many asking if can play super-high end games with the device...sure can play, no problem...but cannot expect it to perform like SGS II. There'a a reason why there's SGS II and there's a reason why SGW existed - for different market segments...

actually its a bad habit of us to expect a lot out of a cheap product although you could say that the RRP of 999 isn't "cheap" per se but still its cheaper than other offerings with similar or even lousier specs...its a huge step up of HTC's own wildfire S or even desire S to a certain extent..so I honestly dont know why people are still complaining on stuff like "the camera is laggy" or "the photo quality isn't that great"...what u expect out of budget phone? LOL...besides phones were never meant to have good quality cameras with its tiny lenses..

i wont say its not for advanced user - the SGW is a pretty good phone - if you want advanced stuff u can just root it and in time i'm sure many custom ROMs will pop up for sure especially CyanogenMod since the founder was hired by Samsung not too long ago...spec wise it beat my 1 year old Nexus One - the only thing that it lacks compared to my Nexus One is widespread support for custom ROMs and all things custom..but i'm sure that'll change in time since its a fairly new handset.

Anyway, lets not ask too much out of this baby...its not a superphone after all like the SGS II tongue.gif

I had been reading the first 20++ pages and here's what I got:
1. Call voice kinda low
2. SMS problem
3. RAM is actually lower than advertised(the retained part is used by the OS)
4. Need root phone if want to use some other functionalities(common la haha)
5. Samsung can detect whether you had rooted your phone or not and your warranty may be voided
6. About the micro sd, difference between class 4 n 10

Anything else that I missed?

Xiaomi ppl bring in 1300... Mind you, the company which produces xiaomi can't cater the amount of order they have. Their company is still too small. It's definitely a bargain but it's pretty useless when the supply:demand is like 1:100. They can't cater such a large market that demand for their phone at the price stated.

some people actually asking a lot of this budget phone. they want it to be able to play high end games, camera must able to compare with decent point and shoot cameras (or even dslr), have excellent call quality, earpiece, cheap, longest warranty, strong body, APE glass..that's the problem.

typical of malaysians to want the cheapest yet best quality product..how can cheap + good quality go together? impossible.
*
Ahhh what to do, you get what you pay for. It's a mentality Malaysians still haven't fully grasp yet. Some people question why others pay so much for a decent pair of headphones, a nicer laptop, a more capable camera, a better phone or a more powerful car while they're still thinking, it's just "item x or item y, they're all the same thing, so long as can use is okay already".

It's not that powerful to do those. It just applies filters. Or at least that's for the MMS. I never really played around much with the camera.

On kj5 too, reaches 100% with charger attached, once unplug it shows 99%. And it is normal as the phone uses power once it's on, unless off, then you won't be able to see how many % drool.gif

Small storage if you like to play high end games, but after root then problem solved.
SGW doesn't have Gorilla Glass.

I can say that Samsung basically butchers HTC in the same target markets they aim. Only advantage HTC has is their Sense UI which feels more intuitive compared to TouchWiz.

That I'm not too sure about. I do recall that the kernel still says "root" after I tried to unroot my Ace. I reflashed back to a stock ROM rather than unrooting it and it was back to normal.

more intuitive yet slows down the phone when you have tons of widgets..even the HTC sensation is a tad slower due to this..touchwiz is actually pretty good and is closer to the stock android experience

Yeah, those fancy widgets consume quite a bit of memory. TouchWiz is decent and close to stock but I rather use my own launcher instead. The beauty of the droid.

root@DELL can be found in all (I think) stock kernels for Samsung Android phones. It doesn't indicate that you're rooted.

as long as you dont simply and purposely scratch it is is fine. if you're worried get a pouch like this one:

http://img.alibaba.com/wsphoto/v0/44280540...jpg_200x200.jpg

For public wifi its normal, a lot cannot work or too congested. this is not the phone problem but the wifi at that place got problem...unless you're trying to tell me on your laptop is fine but on your phone is not fine at the same exact location at the same time...

i guess this is only valid if u flash your rom.

there is no way sammy gonna be able to detect my root...

i actually downloaded the whole Android source code, compile it over night to produce the objects file i need, all just becoz i want to compile ZergRush.c by myself. ZergRush (which is based on Gingerbreak btw) is the actual exploit that manage to escalate my ADB shell into a root shell. Once you get a root shell, it's game over.

Most Super-one-click, etc are using exploit like this to get a root shell, then, they will automatically install busybox, mount /system as RW, and replace the original "su". Once done, they will normally install Superuser.apk (the interface part which handle root request). it turns out that, u dont need many of those steps. brows.gif but even if u do all of those, your basebane, kernel version, etc are still not affected.

so, if u know what u r doing, u can replace back everything, as if it never happen.

Root? What root? rolleyes.gif

my SGW hang after playing blood and glory .. whenever playing more than 30 minutes, SGW will hang .. the enemy that i fought againts keep hitting me but my character didnt reply when i touch the control button but still got sound and picture moving.. last resort is either i restart SGW or pull out batt. then after 3 times happen like this i uninstalled the game sad.gif ..
Now when playing Gunbros also SGW will be like lagging .. no other app (fb,wifi or 3g) running in background) ..
currently using GOtheme and GOTaskManager only .. but still lagging after 10 minutes of play ..

fyi .. i already upgraded to KJ5 .. Previously no problem .. just this problem happen for couple of days .. rclxub.gif

the hang problem appear as too many application running on the background or running on high intensive game without clearing the RAM first...i got some tips for SGW owner...try clear up your ram and close unrelated application on the task manager..by doing this way you empty a lot of RAM which can make your gaming time better, no lag and playable..i try this method each time i want to play game..so far no hang..just a little bit hag if i use internet to access my gaming acc..this normal as PING time for internet to get responds..

recommend game to try: shawdowgun, samurai vengence 2, air attack HD...

msn83235502: where the battery pic?

rumors said W will support ICS in future but there is news that ACE won't come with ICS so W & ACE like abang adik. most likely it will not support expect nexus.

CPU wise, SGW has 1.4Ghz compares to 1Ghz in Ray...

Screen wise, I think Ray is just a bit too small for gaming...

Price wise, SGW is cheaper...

But if u like small phone, rarely play game (or like to play game on small screen?)... Ray is pretty cool too...

I will run advanced task manager to kill most of the background tasks before charging.
Not sure if this is caused by having different battery manufacturer though. hmm.gif

It's AGPS but you can turn it off and use pure GPS instead for slower lock time.

Problem with whole body skin protector like Zagg Invisible Shield series is that it's VERY HARD to get it right. Especially when you have to deal with edges and tightly fitting everything perfectly. If there's a slightly mistake, it's totally gone.

Gel case... you mean hard case?

My only concern is whether the case will clamp on the phone too hard or not, producing scratches or marks? My last time experience with the super cheapo type lah.. But I guess these more expensive casings are much better smile.gif

And ohhh. mimi store quoted RM48 sad.gif

W is still a new phone in the market, so just hope that ICS will be released a bit later compared to their flagship model.

If they say no ICS update for W, for sure will make W sales drop.
Besides the eye candy in ICS, what major improvement for ICS that can beat gingerbread?

Should thank Samsung for coming out with W for the mid range market. I dun like phones from HTC series. Just look at some of the previous HTC Desire user buying W. rclxms.gif

My concern is to protect the whole phone.
Is there any such proof/review or youtube video to proof that scar?

Either way, the phone's good enough right now. We'll see soon enough if the W will be getting the ICS update or not. Hopefully they will.

W is still a new phone in the market, so just hope that ICS will be released a bit later compared to their flagship model.

If they say no ICS update for W, for sure will make W sales drop. 
Besides the eye candy in ICS, what major improvement for ICS that can beat gingerbread?

Will test and feedback on the durability once I get the casing.

If you say rubberish, i can say the back of my Nokia 5800 XpessMusic is too rubberish... tongue.gif

Yes it is, except for the top part which is metal. But i doubt PDair's case will cause scratch because they used leather and soft material isn't it?
The reason I don't like PDair's case is because it is heavy and kinda troublesome flipping it open and close.

NVM I have confidence XDA will decoded it if they can bring a low-end phone to jump from 1.6 to 2.3.7 I see no reason why it can't happen to SGW.

Eg. HTC had been promising sky high but ended up none of the devices got updated

There will be some problems for every phone. Depends whether it is minor or major ones and also your luck.
For now only some minor probs with SMS, wifi, auto-rotation and charging for some users. I'm good with mine.

Ditto. Yes they use real leather and not cheap pu leather. Once you know the quality you will never go for cheap brand.

The only PDair case that I'm interested in is the side flip case. I'll try the silicon case 1st, if it fails me then I'll consider that. tongue.gif

laugh.gif it's normal for smartphone (android, wm, iphone). Actually, it's better to put the phone on standby mode. If you turn off the phone, it will consume more power during boot up.

laugh.gif it's normal for smartphone (android, wm, iphone). Actually, it's better to put the phone on standby mode. If you turn off the phone, it will consume more power during boot up.

talk abt alarm, meego is the only alternative that still can alarm-on by itself even if you turned off the device
well i know it's inappropriate to say it here,but if only Elop never declare to kill off Meego,it's indeed a powerful platform that could rival ios or android

i myself a nokia fan,now ended up buying an android phone,which is the biggest and saddest betrayal i ever made,it feels like i killed a person or something like dat Orz
gotta blame that galaxy w pricing too great though :/

Aiya... You know I never mean everything. And I stressed that No touch screen. How to play without touch screen... It's just that most of the apps that make our life convenient Eg: gps(garmin/nokia map), expenses, office, barcode scanner... ... My phone got no prob with them. If I get android, the extra thing android has is just gaming. bigger screen, touch screen, others still ok for me.

1) ICS updates for Galaxy W

I'm curious about that website saying that this phone won't be able to upgrade to ICS. Sony confirmed all of their new devices (using 1Ghz processor with 512MB ram, even from the low end xperia mini) would get ICS. Samsung galaxy S is getting ICS, so why won't the rest of glaxy SL, S+ or W get ICS? They have nearly identical specs. Unless samsung is too lazy to write up the codes for them (which I doubt). Samsung are among the fastest to release updates for all of their android phones and it's weird that they won't support ICS for galaxy W. But, whatever happens, only time will tell. We'll see.

2) Battery life

I've been using it for 3 days. With full data plan on (HSDPA), light surfing + facebook + twitter + ym + sns + autosync on, I get around 8 hours max before getting 10% telling me to charge. A lot of my friends have galaxy SL, S, S2, and mini, gio (used to be mine), ace, fit with batteries ranging from 1200mAh to 1650mah (S2). AMOLED to SC-LCD to normal lcd, most have battery life about 8 hours tops with full data on.

A lot of them complain to me saying why the battery life is so short compare to blackberry or other phones. It is because its android. I installed juice defender for them, but it kinda defy the phone to be fully online since juice defender cut-off your data plan when you're screen is off. I told them if you want to save batteries, don't use data plan so it can last at least 2 days.

Btw, I found that the battery cell in my phone is made in japan, finish in china (not korea..) Could this be AP set? I dunno..

3) Gaming

I haven't played heavy games, but installed a few like angry birds + fruit slice. I know this phone has the Adreno 205, quite good for gaming but it is not really a gaming device for me.

4) Phone hang tongue.gif

Yes, the phone hang sometimes, even when I click the menu button to revert to homescreen. My friends who have galaxy SL, galaxy S, galaxy S2 complain that their phones also hang sometimes. It's android, and it will hang.

5) Connectivity issues

No, I haven't had any issues with wifi not connected. Although there are times the HSDPA keeps on disconnecting (maybe it's my phone line)

6) Build quality

I know at first I said this phone is solidly built, but after a few days using it, the back cover gives a subtle creaking sound especially below the camera since it doesn't have a clip there. Not really a big issue, just annoying for me. My friends with a Galaxy S also have the same issues, though he didn't mind or notice it but not for me cause I'm kind of a perfectionist..haha

7) Should I buy or should I not question?

So far, I got no serious issues with this phone. It's worth the money invested. I wanted to buy a Galaxy S since I've used galaxy gio before (just too slow for me) and when I heard that this phone came out, I bought it without second thought. I have RM1200 to buy a phone but why not Galaxy S? or Galaxy SL? or S+? Coz I don't need them. Iphone is big enough for me and I don't need any bigger so i can hold it on one hand. They all got nearly identical spec minus the screen or the gorilla. Gorilla or not, you'll end up buying those anti-fingerprint screen protector anyway like all of my friends do.

I've rooted my friends ace, mini, fit and S2. There are quirks here and there but it's android. It will hang from time to time. It's the nature of android. If you really want a smooth device go buy Iphone or Windows phone from Nokia (coming out soon). You can't expect it to be on par with iOS. Why? Because iOS has been around for years and it is fully optimized for iphone (1 device, nevermind the ipad). But android has been around only for a couple of years and to optimized them to whole range of devices with different specs, it's not an easy task. And they are still improving.

For those who wants to buy it, just do it. It works. It's a good price for the performance you get. This is my 3rd phone this year. So I wish you all the best smile.gif

Don't think samsung is the fatest to update, not sure for the phone. But for tablet. Tab 10.1 still not updated to 3.2 even asus and acer got the update months ago. Also the new release (euro & israel) tab 10.1, already shipped with 3.2.. Still malaysia device no update...

Luckily the xda is more faster.

Hi, new here and interested in getting this phone. After skimming through both threads, I have a few questions: smile.gif

i) Phones sold by Lycus Trading are stated to have 2 years warranty. Are they like aaronac's as in 1 year by Samsung and 1 year by another company?

ii) Amroth said his battery is made in Japan and finished in China. This is a sign of AP?

iii) Are all apps automatically installed into internal memory or some apps can be installed into SD memory?

iv) Would rooting cause void of warranty? As in, can they detect phones which have been unrooted?

v) How's the camera compared to, say, Sony Ericsson's 5MP camera?

vi) Last question.. Anyone know if Huawei Honor will match Galaxy W pricing-wise? Cause the former seem to have better specs..

Appreciate your responses, guys. Thanks smile.gif

Got bad news.. Just called up aaronac. Confirmed that the extra 1 year warranty is NOT by Samsung but by another company. His shop is not an SEP.

List will be updated.

Would get from alieamin instead

I brought 2 aunties to buy Gtab7plus from Aron. The additional year is insurance coverage, which is okay for me.

Then after I cant tahan, I went with another colleague to SenQ. We bought W after discussion for few weeks. blush.gif

AP units are units that are parallel imported into the country, hence no official warranty but relies on a "shop" warranty from the place of purchase. So long as your unit has an official warranty, it's considered an original unit, regardless of the components.

My concern is to protect the whole phone.
Is there any such proof/review or youtube video to proof that scar?

i dun have clip to show u. but experience among my friends. i just share my thoughts. it all depend on u bro~

htc > samsung.. htc r more durable, i pick samsung cos it cheap like acer lappy.


Added on November 30, 2011, 9:18 amAmroth: i'm just newbie on smartphone. 1st of all samsung is the slowest release updates that the weakest point of samsung. pros user can clarified it!

i read somewhere notice bout the battery some made in china. it should be made in japan & finish in korea. AP actually is out there already just u guys din notice. they all said is real cos received sms from samsung. i think better call them to confirm the serial number.

some shop i know, u might dunno but i'm pretty sure others know~ hmm.gif
they might sell u real set but charger, battery or sd card they change to those lousy fake 1 to users. same go to lappy/desktop. as for AP set some r good but mostly they changed all the parts. nowadays really hard to differentiate which is real or unreal. all b'cos the themes of "U HELP ME, I HELP U!"

Samsung smartphones are equivalent to Acer laptops? Bad analogy, I'd say. High end Samsung models cost around 2k plus, so it's definitely not that cheap like you said. Yeah, Samsung is slow in getting firmware updates, but you can always flash to other region's newer firmware using Odin unless you're a newbie. As long as you get the original SME warranty, there's no need to worry some of the parts are not original or whatsoever.

Just my 2 cents.
