G+_Marlon Thompson Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Quick thoughts on the Samsung event This event was about promoting a phone that is supposed to be reviewed highly by the tech press. Watching it I saw them trying to correct what the western tech media have called missteps. Women were at the core of the presentation (remember the S4 event) not brought on to show how to answer your phones while your nails dried. They also boasted of all the things they invented like wireless charging and mobile payments (who else do we know does that in a press event) . They also added material design to their apps and used the new camera api's yet didn't acknowledge Android or Google. We have metal, glass no removable batteries no SD card slot. They did the iphone comparison and the dig "our phones won't bend"....BURN. All in all this is an interesting phone and a welcome change by Samsung, there are still elements of Apple envy but I think this phone will be very successful.

G+_Paul Werner Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I'm really liking how the LoopPay turned into Samsung Pay is sounding. I mean I won't be getting this myself but the tech they use so that it can be picked up even on old terminals is nice. I wish I didn't have to worry about which terminal a business uses when I want to use Google Wallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
