I found it hard to justify paying £629 for a phone to be honest but putting it into perspective, same price as a flight to Thailand (over in 16 hours) or same price as a week in Tenerife for a phone that will hopefully last me a couple of years.

Well no, on a like for like basis, Apple would definitely price the Galaxy at £2000+  

Gotta secure that profit for the church of the holy isheep.

Just one and a half hours to go before Samsung kick-start their Samsung Unpacked event. I'll be really disappointed if they don't announce a new fridge!

I'll be updating the original post with new specs/features as and when they're announced and for any of the big ones, i'll post a new reply so it gets highlighted and in case anyone has subscribed to the thread for new replies.

Remember you can watch it live here

If for any reason the Samsung site goes down due to traffic, here's the Live YouTube link
