You missed moto g 2014 in this list.
Bad pricing
they really think someone will buy this .. more like a 16499 phone
Actually, the only 2 phones it will truly compete with are the Nexus 5 and the Galaxy S4 from Samsung’s own stable. And that’s exactly the way they want it, hence the positioning.
Say I’m a Samsung lover, would I buy this ahead of the S4? Only if I’m a
midgetlittle guy with tiny hands and cash to burn. Oh well.WOW.. Exclusive in flipkart (online sale)…
Samsung will bring 20Lakh S5_Mini phones for sale on Flipkart and it will be sold out in 1.9 seconds — IN THEIR DREAMS ONLY…
wait for the reviews to appear @ flipkart, grab a pack of popcorn, enjoy the show :p
Review already started 😛
Feedbacks are funny! soon the price will come down to less than 20K!
How can it compete with nexus 5 ? You just make comparison with only the price factor ?
Nexus 5 has full Hd screen , 2 gb of ram and a snapdragon 800. It’s like comparing moto g with nexus 5.
“the Galaxy S5 Mini empowers your life, helping take care of your well-being”. Yes absolutely sir. The mobile is so fast and smooth that you’ll be forced to abandon it halfway and take care of yourself (or your metal self). More when the 2nd gen Moto X arrives and you find your friend using it.
See Samsung cares so much about its customers yet charging on 26k for it.
