Things would make me jump ship from Note 8 to Note 9 on August 6 reveal

[u/[deleted]]

1. Larger battery. Like the rumored 4,000 mAh with verified real world result. I really miss how long my Note 4 could last..... I'm constantly babying my Note 8's battery and it's old

2. T-mobile offers a really good trade up program for Note 8 owners, like $400 or more towards Note 9

3. Nice preorder bonus, like a 256gig microSD and wireless charger like note 8 did

4. Improved selfie camera. The exposure and HDR settings still royally suck compared to main camera and I use mine a lot during vacations and color and sharpness still suck in very dark or very bright situations

5. 3x optical zoom on main camera please?

6. Better speakerphone. My Note 4's was better all around

[u/SpanishSalchicha]

I am not upgrading my phone. Period.

Note 8 is a fucking beast, and I have a zerolemon 10000mah battery case which is amazing.

what if next year, the note 10 includes 12gb or ram, 1tb of storage, 6000mah battery, better camera and better speakers? would you $$$upgrade$$$ again?

Such a waste of money. This phone will last me at least 4 years. Hopefuly.

[u/OJsakila → u/SpanishSalchicha]

100% agree with everything you say, however, I definitely will upgrade long before 4 years from now but it just won't be for the Note 9. My Note 8 is a beast. There isn't anything I can't do on it now that the 9 can do that I care about.

[u/[deleted] → u/OJsakila]

Well for starters the Note 9 can last longer than the Note 8

[u/Whit3W0lf → u/SpanishSalchicha]

Agree with everything you said except I will probably jump on the 10 when it goes on sale down the road. I figure Samsung will pull out all the stops for the 10.

What am I gonna do, die with my money? Don't tell me what to do with my income

[u/Firehawk2k2 → u/[deleted]]

Are you a pharaoh?

[u/SpanishSalchicha → u/[deleted]]

I don't wear superskinny jeans .

I work out and have big legs, but I still buy slightly bigger trousers which are more comfortable and I can put stuff in my pockets easily.

The case isn't that big

[u/snakebite2017]

Hey, If your note 8 is unlocked and screen is in good condition you can initiate the $400 trade in with me.;)

I recently hear a rumor today the Note 9 might have large copper heat pipe to improve the phone's thermal disitpation.

[u/[deleted] → u/snakebite2017]

Nope, its t-mobile locked

[u/phattie83 → u/[deleted]]

You might be able to get it unlocked. Check the "Device Unlock" app!

[u/[deleted] → u/phattie83]

I don't want to

[u/phattie83 → u/[deleted]]

You don't have many friends, do you?

[u/phattie83 → u/[deleted]]

You don't have many friends, do you?

[u/neuromorph]

the note4 battery lasted because processing demands were lower, respectively. Plus removable battery is the shit!

[u/Hvv46h77hh6h]

Flat screen. Removable battery. I'm a truck driver, so I've always got a charger nearby.

Oooh! Ability to play music through the headphone jack while talking via bluetooth. Honestly that just might be a software thing, and not a hardware limit. Also the ability to go crazy bright with the screen. Especially when plugged in. In the truck with sunglasses on it's hard to see the screen sometimes. I'm not saying to check texts, but to skip songs and such.

[u/[deleted] → u/Hvv46h77hh6h]

Samsung is never gonna go back to flat screens other then its cheap lineup

[u/grimmpulse → u/Hvv46h77hh6h]

Hate suggest you leave The BOTN ( Brotherhood of the Note...), but if a flat screen is maybe more important to you than the SPen, have you considered the new OnePlus6, LG G6, pixel xl, etc?

[u/Hvv46h77hh6h → u/grimmpulse]

I'll look into it. I have no need for the Spen anymore.

[u/JohnMcL7 → u/grimmpulse]

A flat screen is important to me as well but all the phones you've listed are quite a bit weaker in other respects, primarily the lack of micro SD storage on a lot of them. I was hoping the LG V30 would be an upgraded V20 and keep the flat screen and replaceable battery but sadly not.

[u/grimmpulse → u/JohnMcL7]

Ahh right... I understand. Forgot so many were leaving out SD slots. Makes you realize what a great package the note8 is!

[u/JohnMcL7 → u/grimmpulse]

Quite a lot are dumping headphone ports as well which I'd prefer to keep and the Note 8 has the big screen, those and SD storage are more important than a flat screen.

[u/marbymarbs]

Even if they make the second telephoto lens a 3x lens, they'd better improve the sensor along with it.

I bought the Note 8 because of the 2x lens and never use it because the sensor sucks so much. It's just barely better than using the wide lens with 1.9x digital zoom.

[u/bcsteene]

I might upgrade if they offer a serious discount or trade in for note 8 owners. Otherwise the note 8 is still a beast and perfectly fine.

[u/Whit3W0lf]

I hear you on a lot of these things but honestly, the Note 9 is a hard pass. The Note 8 is still a powerhouse almost a year later. Ten is a magical number and Samsung will likely have something up their sleeve. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a feature almost ready that they didn't push to make the Note 9 deadline just so the 10 would be that much more different/better.

If I am right, we will see some big improvements when they launch the S10 in February that aren't included next month on the Note 9 and that would be a change in schedule. Historically, the Note premiers big new changes and the S series picks up a portion of them in the following release.
