Premium materials and true craftsmanship shouldn’t just be for the few, but for everyone (who has $700+ to spend on a phone).

It looks basically the same as every other smartphone and is mass-produced with no "craftsmanship" involved. The concept of "premium" materials for what's essentially a disposable device just seems ridiculous.

Ignoring the battery stuff isn't Samsung's build quality on Galaxy devices considered close to/as good as Apple's?

Over 60 francs. Comparable to the yearly salary of a legionnaire of Rome (When they were well paid).
