Smartphones play an integral role in our lives. Without it, things will disintegrate. This is the reason why many Singaporeans dislike technology because at the end of the day, we rely on it heavily.

This is Samsung’s bid to reclaim the throne of the global smartphone leader – Apple Inc. The product will be available worldwide on April 10, 2015.
