Waste of Money

Nirmal Tosniwal (Jul 17, 2016) on Gadgets 360

Samsung offering Age old specifications in 10k. 1.5GB RAM <<. Presently using Samsung Galaxy series phone worth 14k but its way too slow. Moreover no updates for Samsung low end/mid range models. Total money waste. Within 1 month regretted buying samsung smartphone.
