Weekly poll results: the Galaxy A57 is interesting but pricey, the Galaxy A37 gets shown the door

There may be trouble brewing on the horizon for the Galaxy A57 and A37 – the results from last week’s poll are in and the consensus is that the two phones are overpriced. And that there is some serious competition in the mid-range market. Luckily, Galaxy A phones don’t stay at MSRP for long, so the first issue will correct itself soon enough.

Всевозможные эффекты "блеска" / градиентов в дизайне встречаются регулярно, тренд на эмоциональный дизайн и кажется пора это всё объединить! И ведь Apple выкатили эту фишку в liquid glass!
