Based on how popular the iPhones 5s is compared to the iPhone 5c, I’m guessing that premium and highly-priced handsets are still more attractive to many. People would rather save and show off, rather than go for a budget device. So, news that Samsung is to introduce a “luxurious range” of handsets could be just the thing to compete, with “industry sources” stating that Samsung will launch a Premium “F” range of handsets at the very top end of the market.
Not a great deal is known just yet, but if we’re translating the ETNews website properly, you’ll see a high megapixel camera and all-metal case. These handsets will go alongside the Galaxy S range, so you may see the Samsung Galaxy F4 or F5, who knows.
More as we get it.
Just my opinion but the more handsets Samsung release, the more they have to support and the longer users have to wait for those all important updates.
Does Samsung really need to release “fine, polished, premier” handsets?
Are they admitting their existing range is cheap and flimsy and they feel the need to improve them with higher quality materials?
Personally, and I’m not sure why no-one has done this yet, but a lot of Samsung s3 and s4 owners have said what a great device it is, and the only thing cheap about it is the flimsy battery cover. So why, oh why, aren’t Samsung (or a 3rd party) releasing a more sturdy, more polished and higher quality battery cover made of sturdier material. That would cheap to make, cheap to buy and would give existing owners the option of having the standard or the premier handset by improving their own handset and not have to buy a new one.
There’s a Kickstarter idea there surely 😉
