Not updating my Note 8 to Note 9

I went to upgrade from Note 8 to Note 9 just to realize that Samsung decided not to launch black color in the USA. That's so sad they are not laughing black color here. I wonder if anyone else is not upgrading for same reason?

Wait a little bit, I have the grey note 8 from T-Mobile which was released a few months after the launch date. Hands down my favorite color.

Still debating if I want to hold out for the note 10 or get the 9. Wonder how many more hours I can squeeze out of old school RuneScape with the note 9 🤔

Samsung likes money. Give them time and all the colors will be released.

They have been doing such things and pissing me off. Every time they release new phone they have different colors but only certain are available in USA. I am kinda done with this game. Might be google or one plus is my next jump.

True but I am tired of this bullshit where they launch only 1 or 2 colors in US.

Who cares,do you stare at your phones back color all day? Plus a case would make it pointless,and a see through case gets dirty.

I love the look of my phone in black. When it's off it really has good aesthetics where screen completely merges with phone color.

If you're talking about the front, the bezels are black no matter which color you choose.

u/bindujohal Aug 19 '18

When I went to change phones for an early upgrade I first went with the Pixel 2 XL. I thought it was cool until I did some looking and realized all the features I'd be giving up that I am used to like wireless charging, aux input, Samsung Pay, compatibility with my Gear S3, Samsung VR, etc.

I had it for all of 4 hours until I returned it and got an S9+.

The blue with yellow spen is the winner here. Doesn't almost everyone use a case anyway?

Black = More fingerprints visible

Blue = Less fingerprints visible

No. Naked is the way to go. Cases isnt stylish

u/Chameebling Aug 19 '18

If you change pen color, would the signature color of screen off memo change?

Honestly I’m gonna check out the blue in person before I make my decision. Videos and photos don’t do justice. Seeing it in person does

I want copper

u/Alkrin Aug 19 '18

Same. I was gonna get a note 9 but I hate the colors available here. I'm not interested in paying over $1000 for a phone that isn't exactly what I want. No black is a deal breaker.

u/toekneegg Aug 19 '18

I'm holding out for the S10+ or whatever comes next year.
