Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s post-credits scene teases the arrival of “Adam”, aka the long-awaited Adam Warlock. Although Guardians 2 may be too much set-up for some fans’ liking, director James Gunn sets a new standard in placing building blocks for future sequels, spin-offs, or other Avengers showdowns. With so many Guardians of the Galaxy easter eggs to keep fans busy during the movie’s running time, the studio could probably have gotten off the hook without a hefty post-credits scene… let alone half a dozen of them....

So, if you’re planning to buy one of the two smartphones, make sure you find a discounted offer online and tell the salesperson about it....
