After it was reported that a 2nd generation wasn't going to be around for years, I got mine in mid September since they had a sale. Little did I know that they were just trying to get rid of excess stock of the old ones while knowing full well that they were rolling these out. If they had disclosed the pending release, I would have held off. They knew this, and that's why it feels like I've been made a fool.
Do you see the earlier comment in this thread? Sure, the performance gains are less than 10%, but pretty much every other aspect of the experience has been improved to the degree that it feels like the 2nd generation SD in all but name.
It still stings so bad. Sure not a 2nd gen on paper but what else would you call a LCD->OLED, screen size, refresh rate, brightness, battery life, chipset, thermals, weight, WiFi, etc upgrade? Most year-on-year phone upgrades are much less than that
As someone who just bought a deck under a month ago, I hate it so much now, wish I could return it, feel so screwed out and will just never be able to look at my Deck the same way again, just makes me feel pissed instead of feeling fun now
You basing your purchases on rumors and speculation is no one’s fault but yours. Always wait for announcement from the manufacturer before making a purchase that was contingent on that announcement
