I'd like to see the square off edges like the SE; there was a nice looking render of one that I think could prove to be quite popular for a redesign. I thought it was very sleek and modern looking.
Got a tip for us?

The 5S/SE design is one of the best in the series. If they brought a notch less experience with minimal bezels, I think the SE2 could be a huge seller.
I think in SE 2 would be a decent selling phone regardless with minimal bezels or ’notchless’. I don’t think the consumer cares about that those two things, I think they just want the 4 inch form factor and something they can easily manage one hand that’s inexpensive.
Even if that's the case, the 4" line is in a desperate need of a refresh since it's a 6S being sold in 2019.
Technically, the 6s is being sold by _some_ select carriers new, but not really marketed either, nor is this being sold direct by Apple new. But that’s a totally different phone form factor (Which holds some appeal with the 4.7/5.5), even though they share the same internals. But in the same respect, Apple did have multiple mini SE launches that was being sold on clearance recently, which will likely was nothing more than backstock that wasn’t selling through cell carriers, shipped back to Apple, therefore they clearanced it.

Yeah, the internals still need a refresh though. I think there could be a market still because Sony still catered to the smaller size phone market segment.
But the S10e also redefined a compact device because it has flagship caliber specs w/ a 5.8" display w/ an incredibly light form factor. The XS has some weight to it that the S10e doesn't have.
Samsung has to watch its back with the s10e. Any success in the android market is quickly replicated. Flagship caliber specs is an amorphous term these days.
Just to add, the new Apple services didn't captivate my interests either. Don't need or want those services.
I honestly never knew about this. How do i set this up so I get an alert when my son downloads something?
Same. It’s nice to see the expansion with Apple divulging into other avenues, but none of which appeals to me. Maybe later on I might change my perspective, but place me in the category of wanting to focus more in iOS expansion/improvements.
and also samsung pass is not having mac os and windows application, so useless
I'd be jumping ship to Samsung if the Apple Watch is not such a polished and featurefull device. As soon as the Galaxy Watch catches up, I'm leaving Apple's expensive shackles. Yep, might not happen at all because even the leaked One UI in a watch looks damn clunky. 
Sorry for the delayed response.
Well - I initially thought it didn't work reliably. However, I have since bought the S10+ because I was missing the screen size coming from an iPhone XS Max.
This time around it seems to work really well. I am thinking I didn't give it enough of a chance and/or didn't quite learn the correct pressure/spot. I probably should've given it a few more days before giving up on it the first time.
The Galaxy Watch has caught up. It's fantastic.I'd be jumping ship to Samsung if the Apple Watch is not such a polished and featurefull device.

You have absolutely no idea.
Samsung’s market share in China has been completely eroded, I believe they are currently under 1%.
It’s why a lot of people prefer apple, it’s ecosystem is unmatched. As a user the integration offered cannot be ignored.
But they do. the Xs is Made from stainless steel where as the the galaxy is made from aluminum. Aluminum is lighter but also cheaper.
Yes because it is constructed from steel which is stronger than aluminum. Aluminum is also cheaper, which make the galaxy seem overpriced for the materials used when compared to the iPhone.
It’s Definitely compelling on the hardware side and aesthetics, and of course it offers a round design over the Apple Watch. If It was completely compatible with the iPhone, I would definitely invest in the ‘Samsung Gear’.
Has Samsung solved the galaxy watches security vulnerabilities yet?

Samsung wearables can’t really compete with the Apple Watch let alone having caught up.
I think the round design is an anachronism of the analog era where watches consisted of 2 or 3 mechanical hands sweeping in a circular motion across the face. Smart watches do so much more and the iwatch infograph shows where you can still do the sweeping hands while giving you so much information comfortably in a case that is not circular.
Guess it’s better then having your identity stolen or any personal accounts being compromised, that would be irritating.
Well your lucky, it usually take a while to find out.
Which Samsung tizen phone do you have?
You know the same operating system as the galaxy watch the one with all the security vulnerabilities.
