‘This will be the ultimate experience
for the smartphone users. This device will increase the productivity and add value to people’s life,’ Samsung Bangladesh head of mobile Hasan Mehdi said while launching the phone.
He said the Galaxy Note 4 would specially ease the office work of any kind, ‘For example, this is the only device where you can select a paragraph of a PDF document and instantly change into the note format,’ he said.
Replying to a question about the after sales service quality of Samsung in Bangladesh, Samsung Bangladesh managing director Choon Soo Moon said, ‘I admit that our after sales service does not perhaps meet the expectation of the people. But we will launch 37 new service points after Eid-ul-Azha next month,’ he said.
