Yes but the price points may be the deciding factor.

They would have. If not, they will never be allowed to release it, given the earlier saga.

Note7 has been discontinued!

And hence the lower price!

I hate to break it to you but the last I heard, lower is relative. In this case, it is comparing to the original price of the Note7. That being the case, is it not lower in price?

You and a few here are something else. Not to digress from the purpose of this thread, I shall cease and desist here, vis-a-vis this issue.

Allow me to remind you and and those who need reminding, please read to understand and not just to reply. Thence, no unnecessary band-width is wasted.

Opinion, yes, everyone is entitled to it. But, in this particular case, you were not expressing one. You were responding to something in error by not reading and understanding what was put forth, to start off with. When put in your place you digressed and yet again, with your above reply you have exhibited how a disillusioned person reacts, dig the hole deeper.

I shall not engage further on this but whoever reads these exchanges in a cluster, will know the situation.

There are many factors to consider. For starters, Apple products are perceived as premium and their target markets do not mind forking out relatively more money. Hence, their pricings. Secondly, as for Samsung, they have always priced their products at a higher range initially. However, their prices drop quite quickly in time. Then, for this particular model, given the saga it went through, IMHO, they cannot price it so high lest no one would buy coupled with the fact that Note 8 is around the corner. They would then be saddled with a lot of inventory.

If anyone is interested, wait for a while, the price will surely come down. Mark my words.

Whilst I would want the price to be low, we have to be fair and realistic. The pricing for this FE iteration has to be relative to the original. Personally, the announced price is a little high but your RM1800 is way off. A tad over RM2000, in my opinion would be good and desirable to the masses, I believe.

If it is a new flagship, yes, you are right but it is not and coupled with the fact that Note8 is due soon, not to mention the price, I doubt it would be sold out in those countries.

Your second statement, how do you know that for a fact? Pray tell.

This is a 'different' phone. It is for all intent and purpose not a Note 7 per se. It is Note FE. So, your initial statement at this juncture and even your reply, to me, is open to debate. Of course, until and unless the airlines all over take the same action against it with notices specific to this phone, no one can say for sure.

You are singing a different tune now.

Saying what you are saying as aforementioned, you get no argument. But I am pretty sure the authorities will review the Note FE as a different model. Whether they will decide to ban it, we will only know in time. Hence, my comment, unlike yours, no one will know for sure at this point in time.

Why are you so surprised? This particular phone is not sold anywhere else(yet).

This is NOT Note7. The authorities will have to review same under the circumstances. But a company like Samsung will not be stupid enough not to have checked/consulted before venturing into this exercise. We will have to see what the authorities say after that. But by no means this phone should be said in the same breath as the Note7.

They admitted the farce and did the worldwide recall with the Note7. So, I believe they would say they have learned their lesson and are back with a much better device, which is true, if all the rumours about it materialise. Note7, in many people's opinion was the best mobile phone when it came out, if not for the battery problem. So, except for the expected exorbitant pricing, this could well be the best phone when it comes out.

Because there is no such device.

Technically it is not Note 7. It's Note FE.

Aren't what you are asking for out of the norm? As it is, it is a special demand. And as it is a special out of the norm request, isn't that asking for special treatment?

Going by your rationale, all those who got the S8/+ from pre-orders should demand for Samsung to give what offers the latter was giving at the road show sales. Why stop at that? When the price tumbled down in such a short period of time, all owners should ask Samsung to rebate them the difference.

Wouldn't that be great?

You totally confused me...and I believe a whole load of other forummers as well.
