It happened again with Note8 - we can't get the color we maybe really want because Samsung thinks our market doesn't need it. Or worse, we may have bought the phone only to find out later it will come in color we really wanted...
We Samsung customers don't understand why Samsung doesn't give same color choices to each market. There are always people everywhere feeling left out! If Samsung can somehow justify not giving everyone the same hardwhere (though many take offence that Samsung considers them as "less demanding"), surely every person in the world, including Samsung CEO must understand that color preferences are extremly subjective and everyone has a favourite! So Samsung, stop making these absurd business moves and at least give us all the same color choices, no matter where we are from, at launch!!
I'm certain there is a financial purpose behind releasing the different colors to different markets. However, the customer should come first. I've seen 5 colors offered (black, grey, gold, pink, & blue), yet the colors are limited to two per market. From a consumers viewpoint this is absurd. Personally I had to order my 2nd preferred color.
