When does Samsung ever announce flagships at CES? I go almost every year, and while their presence is huge, only smaller phones are there.

ahem... It's MWC my friend... Well, maybe, you were too busy in your fanboy dreams that you forgot which show it was... No worries, go on DREAM... And don't forget to yawn before you dream... And in the meantime we will enjoy the show?

Well, the journalist aren't excited about its same old ugly design. Sony's hall has been almost empty each year.

huh??? Sony is not stupid as you are. Better if your samsung galaxy s8 has a built in fire extinguisher when it launch so that u can easily stop the fire when it explode.

No S8 announcement is a bit disappointing. But at least there will be G6 to be excited. Anyway, I don't see Nokia comeback is a good thing. I mean, yeah it did make a history, bringing some great phones like the N70 and N90 (I was impressed while my dad using it). But the thing is that the market is already saturated. More importantly, Nokia doesn't have the real tech like it did before. It's just a brand name because all factories and patents belong to MS. It'd better for them to be part of Samsung rather than standing alone.
