Okay now this seems like an interesting phone. Like an upgrade to the previously known Samsung Mega.

The phone is very fruity looking, if you know what I mean...

Good to know there is expandable memory.

Yes, it's a true dual SIM with micro SD slot, not like the typical SIM 2+micro SD tray.

Lol at the mega. But well it was truly the phablet, together with Z ultra during that era.

The A series seem to nail everything right and worthy of flagship. Should give the A design team a good bonus compared to Note and S series.

Tried asking the online sellers in Tabao.com, and none of them have service to air-flow the phone.

Some cited a similar reason - airplane cannot allow battery to be sent over.

Not sure if that is true. Amazon however is selling at $890+.
