Samsung... just stop screwing your devices
No Infrared
No Radio
No DLNA
3300mAh for 6.3" inch screen ? Seriously now ?It's been so many years and camera still at 12MP. It's to move on at least at 20MP
Samsung… just stop screwing your devices. Every previous device is so much better. Stop removing features.
