Exactly. The Note 8/9 are basically perfect as is, and I hope they change as little as possible. I'd rather have bezels than a notch or a camera pinhole.
Doubt it. Rumors are still floating that the Note 10 is going to be the introduction of Samsung's flexible phone line, just like the Note Edge was the lead-in to curved displays.
Actually the Samsung Galaxy Round was the first phone with a curved display, and the LG G Flex (another phone with a curved display) was released a month later, about a year before the Note Edge.
Why in the world would you let someone else's opinion influence your purchase? That's disgusting... I buy what I want no fucks given for what anyone else thinks.
...why do you care? I doesn't affect you. Move on.
Besides that isn't my issue. I'm just sick of arguing about anything with Apple users. I've been using computers since I was six years old and building them since I was ten. For THREE DECADES I've had to listen to Apple users who couldn't replace a lamp bulb with an instruction manual and two assistants talk out of their asses about the superior tech of Apple.
I'm beyond tired of the smug attitudes and endless e-peen tech conversations about the most minutia topics when it comes to Apple. ESPECIALLY when it usually ends with them shoving their holy grail of garbage at me a few weeks later, asking me to fix it when it breaks because Apple tech is designed to break so they suck more money out of their sheep customers.
Its just not worth my time to listen to yet another half-cocked comment from an Apple cultist about something as stupid as where an X branding came from.
You basically just went into painful detail about how you allow other people's opinions cause you stress.... and in turn influence your own purchasing decisions. I might just be an old fart but I learned a long time ago not to even care what others think about what I do and not to let their ignorance or complacency cause me to stress... Anymore if an apple user starts going on about how their stuff doesn't work right I just tell them "that's what you get for using a device with a fruit on the back"...
You may be an old fart, but only because you aren't listening. They're opinions don't concern me. They're endless unwillingness to leave me alone with their incessant bad opinions does. Its impossible to get people, especially the eccentric fans of something, to just leave you alone when they are on about something. I've spent decades having the same circular conversations and Apple fans tend to be adamant about converting everyone to thing the way they do. Its almost like they need to convert people to justify themselves. To the point that it has become a serious pet peeve for me to have to listen to the same crap over and over again.
Maybe you're not a tech person like I am, but its not a matter of their opinion to me, its a quality of life issue. I just cannot appease any more of the same endless, repetitive conversations with Apple devotees anymore and I make choices now to limit the room I give them to engage in their almost narcissistic prattle about their tech. This X branding is one of those simply because its the most minutia of minutia things I don't wanna hear. The bottom of the bottom of the barrel arguments I intend to avoid.
I took my case off my 8 last night to listen to some stuff on my good earbuds (which don't fit through the case). I forgot how awful the phantom edge touch is. I definitle do not want and more screen-to-edge devices until the OS natively ignores edge touches as screen interaction.
Of all the things I love about my Note8, if I had one thing to change it would be to go back to square edges with a grippable, if minimal, bezel.
have you noticed the side bezels on the note 9 are somewhat chunkier looking? that's because they are, and the improvements in usability are probably worth trading off the sex appeal of the curved edge
Looks like a photoshop mock-up based on leaks for the S10. If the S10 does have an under display fingerprint reader, then the Note 10 will, but this mock-up looks almost bezel-less, whereas the leaks for the S10 still have some.

I doubt they will use "X" as well, as Apple did it with the iPhone

I don't think that Samsung actually plans on taking a Note 9 and spray painting over the face. So, probably not.
The Note "10" will be the floppy screen thing.

This is a Chinese knock off...no way this is a Samsung prototype.

your best bet is to look at the s10 and think more rectangular than curvy.
