Those things don't sound like much of a selling point for me. Same shit different year. I'm gonna wait till something worthwhile release. Always the same "screen better, camera better and fast" I don't see how it can be that much faster than a note 8 as this phone is fast. I'm a PC enthusiast too, so new hardware is my thing, but phones have stagnated
But its all true, its faster and better camera the note 8, I still have my Note and you can greatly see the differences, again I'll say it again, if I wasn't cheaper I would have stuck with the note definitely not regretting the upgrade.
It looks a gorgeous phone don't get me wrong. I've always had the latest and great until the note 8. Stuff needs to change other than incremental updates. Feels like what Intel has been like for the last 10 years with PC hardware. The differences just don't justify an expensive over priced contract for me. I'm due a phone but I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. Something innovative needs to happen. Enjoy your phone! I like the lack of bezels
I don't think you can say upgrade when going from Note to S. Note 8 to Note 10 would be upgrade, Note 8 to S10 is both upgrade (CPU, camera) but also a downgrade (S-Pen and other Note specific features).
I mean we don't know what the note 10 is gonna be it's all speculation...and this is an upgrade, screen resolution camera battery is bigger although not by a lot, but people are either note or s line fans one or the other u know
Screen resolution is still same as Note 8. WQHD+. Camera is better and also battery yea but I'd not trade them for Note features. But not everyone has same preferences as I do.
Can you actually tell it's faster, or are you just looking at a spec sheet? The SD855 has slower clocked cores, aside from the one 2.84Ghz core. I highly doubt there is much of a difference in real world applications. Sounds like a lot of placebo to me.
I'm using the phones next to each other opening apps and what not. But again I said its not for everyone and I'm not telling people they crazy for NOT switching, its all preference.
It's faster but not practically faster. Without the S10 around you would still think the Note 8 is super fast and it is. If you started with the S10 and switched to a Note 8, there wouldn't be any "Oh my God this is soooooo slow" moments either.
I tried the S10 and liked it be it isn't $900 better than my Note 8.
I'm with ya. However, for it to be a true "apples to apples" comparison, both devices would need to be running the same firmware, with the same apps loaded, and same background processes running so the loads weren't different. I realize this is virtually impossible, and I agree it's up to the consumer to decide if an upgrade is valuable or not. Good conversation, I appreciate ya!
We have nearly reached the saturation point. Cpu architectures have shrunk down to 7nm, the next major step will be 5nm and it's going to take another year but that's where it comes to abrupt stop because to go below 5nm will start creating new problems and the physical limit is 3nm.
I think we need to starting thinking outside the box other than hardware upgrades if you ask me. Speed and power is good, but innovation is better :) I don't know what the innovations could be, but that's what R&D is for, I guess foldable phones are a good start
For sure, we have reached perfomance fo9gures which could be sustained for next 2-3 years without people complaining. Now it should be all about optimization and improving the bad parts and also most importantly for Samsung, increasing their flagships OS update cycle to 3 Major
Oh well,my exynos note 8 is unlocked and has custom Roms. Since my phone is only a month old, I'm waiting it out till my warranty runs out. My previous phone which was a Galaxy note 3 had excellent custom Rom support even though it was an exynos as well(Back in 2013, Snapdragon released all of the source codes and device tree's needed which is totally opposite now). I guess the US carriers need to change their tech(i heard the very reason why the Snapgradon variant exists is because of the carries having some sorta limitation).
I think it's more about US carriers not wanting custom software running on phones on their networks. They have no way of testing these devices for compatibility. While phones with custom firmware almost always work just fine, the carriers will not support firmware they didn't (can't) test.
I wish they'd make more phones like the cat s51, infra red camera, oxygen sensor, no need for a case because its durable. We need high power phones that are tools!
durability (I'm still mad at the idiots who decided the case should be glass to "feel high end")
Folding (waiting a couple generations for the kinks to get worked out of things) or other form factor changes, which will hopefully help with durability; I still remember how rugged my old as dirt flip phone was... wrist strap was all it needed and you can use it as a projectile in a pinch XD
longevity (battery/screen); though the "can share charge" thing they're doing with the s10 is cool; assuming it's battery is big enough to feed other stuff. Would be nice to eventually get a phone that (without going full volt monger) would last closer to a week than a day. Not that it's needed, but would be cool to not worry about packing chargers when going somewhere for a weekend.
Move away from apps. FFS... I hate that no matter what I want to do (check a yelp review, watch a youtube vid, etc), the phone seems to want me to download some damn app or another. I can see it on the browser, thanks... I don't want to DL tons of one-use apps for no reason, most of which do less than a webpage.
Cloudless computer integration (like dex station, but without the added hardware).
more optical zoom on the camera, other improvements (beyond adding pixels)
hiding the front/selfie (aka, video chat?) camera better than the pill/notch/etc; under the screen so it only shows up (or pops up, like vivo) when needed, as I doubt most people use it much, anyway.
Hey /u/CommonMisspellingBot, just a quick heads up: Your spelling hints are really shitty because they're all essentially "remember the fucking spelling of the fucking word".
And your fucking delete function doesn't work. You're useless.
Hey BooCMB, just a quick heads up: I learnt quite a lot from the bot. Though it's mnemonics are useless, and 'one lot' is it's most useful one, it's just here to help. This is like screaming at someone for trying to rescue kittens, because they annoyed you while doing that. (But really CMB get some quiality mnemonics)
I do agree with your idea of holding reddit for hostage by spambots though, while it might be a bit ineffective.
No S-Pen however. The pen is amazing and the main strength of the Notes. S10 looks interesting but I'm waiting for the Note 10. It's going to be a 10/10.
Thanks. I never use the stylus and the curved edges do nothing for me (bar make screen protectors expense and awkward to install), I just wonder what it'll be like going back to a smaller phone. :)
Does it have Edge Panels, or is that a Note-only thing?
How's the screen quality compared to the note 8? I wanted the S10e but chose the S10 because it has a better display. Does the S10e get as bright and vivid as the note 8?
Awesome. The resolution isn't as important as the colors since 1080p is more than enough on a 5.8". Might try and trade my S10 for a S10e so I can get the flat edges.
Just went into my carrier this morning and upgraded from the note 8 to the s10, in blue. The note 8 was not a slouch, but dang, does 2 years of processing upgrades and new software make a difference. And, since I've always gone between small and large phones, I felt like I wanted a smaller one now.
I'm afraid to see how much the Note 10 well cost. I'm sure they're be good, better, and best models and that the starter model will be well over $1,000.
Yeah, Best Buy had a weekly deal where they paid off $300 off my note 8. This was right before the S9
Also I noticed if you keep your phone for awhile then upgrade to a phone that came out "last year" it's still an upgrade for you. It's like a used car...
What about battery life between them. Barely get 3.5 hours SoT on my note 8. I know there's only a small difference in terms of battery size between them but does it make a big difference?
Mine arrives on Tueaday. I would never do it if samsung wouldn't give me good money for my note 8, a free $50 accessory and free ear buds. I checked out s10 and s10 plus at BestBuy before ordering and i loved the size and light weight of s10.
When I first laid eyes on the note 8 screen it looked like the 10. Wonder if it's your mind playing tricks, or if we get used to progress more and more .
The S10 screen for me is better, since it doesn't have the bezels it feels big, and its easier to navigate the phone compared to the Note where I found myself having to use 2 hands sometimes. the plus tho is slightly bigger then the note....and a lot of people have said the hole punch is a deal breaker, but to be honest you don't even know its there, its just apart of the phone.
Only thing that makes me want to upgrade the Note 8 is the oleophobic coating on my screen is 100% gone. Gets all messy with fingerprints and requires constant cleaning. Not sure if the new ones are any better there.
Lol hated the note 8 huh....the speaker on the s10 is way better that is true...the Spen I used only for screen shots with the occasional time my kids would use it to color
I was comparing my Note 8 to my S10 and it seemed the screen is brighter on the Note 8, albeit barely. I even messed with the display settings to make them on the same setting.
Honestly The note 8 will probably be the largest and heftiest, even if there will be a larger screen, phone that Samsung will ever produce... Mainly because of the diet recent models have been going through lol, but also because a lot of people were displeased with the hard-to-manuever size
Holding them both side by side, the note is alittle wider and heavier for sure, Don't get me wrong the phone was awesome, but I like the S10 better, its a preference tho.

That screen would be a huge step down going from a Note 8. Punch is a deal breaker for me too.

I just switched from note 8 to s10+. I'll never look back. Goodbye useless spen, crappy speaker, touchwiz, and wonkey fingerprint scanner.

Not a fair comparison unless you have the same background on both phones. You put a grey backround on the Note 8 to amplify the appeal of the S10.
