Which planet are you living on ? Because last i checked a day on Earth is 24 hours. It is less than 52 hours so it can last slightly more than 2 days not 1 day.

            So expensive for a mediocre phone with a metal trim. Useless.

                  Samsung phones are starting to be more and more ugly with each model they poduce.they have a serious lack of inspiration when it comes to design. they have a hundred phones that look the same! I'm sick of the same galaxy design and the same cheap plastic. I want something innovative, different!Even LG or HTC are better than Samsung when we speek about the design of their phones.Take a look at LG G3 ,HTC One,HTC M8...

                          If a big 1080p screen didn't help Samsung win market share against iPhone a smaller crappier phone won't either. iPhone's hardware and software integration and refinement is not something a dumpster-diving phone with custom UI can match.

                            I will never buy their smartphones again. First, they sell the brand. 2nd, They phone not improve battery life at least 100 hours of standy by. 24 hours of calling, 24 hours of video, 24 hours of music.

                              As I said, the Z3compact will wipe the floor with this...stereo sound, much better battery, camera, more Ram, IP rating....Samsung fail again, but hey, keep on buying Sammyfans...

                                So, everything is clear now. Not buying.
                                50 hour of battery life doesn't suit me.
                                Alpha is another great example of STUPID mm race against thickness at the expense of the battery.
                                I don't care about competition against iPhone 6, but Alpha just lost it.

                                    "Still plenty of plastic in the design"
                                    omg. are you serious?
                                    antennas should be behind the plastic, glass or other material, but not metal, so did HTC, Apple and Sony, otherwise the connection will be very bad
                                    metal reflects radio waves
                                    m8 also has a small piece of plastic for the antenna

                                      It's very good. Stop complaining about the battery. The iphones has a lesser battery. I don't hear anyone complaining about Apple not providing a bigger battery.. Stop it! Although the phone looks good, the front panel is the one that's ugly.. They need to change that. It's too..

                                        Pathetic. Weedy battery that barely lasts a day, no FM radio, no IP certification, a screen that's too big with a price tag to match. Shamsung can go swivel.
