99-euro smartphone from Samsung is panned
At MediaMarkt you can always find one or the other bargain. Especially the “deals of the day” often offer excellent value for money. However, the electronics retailer has not made any friends with the current offer. The 99-euro smartphone from Samsung causes scorn and ridicule.

MediaMarkt only serves as a marketplace here. Oddly enough, the electronics retailer still advertises this offer in a big way.
At the time of release, the Galaxy S7 was still top class:
Facebook users tear up Samsung smartphone
