Need some advice

[Duncanator]

So I currently have the Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I absolutely LOVE this device. It is super quick and I use the S-Pen to take notes at work and such. I am, however, considering getting an iPhone again. The regular sized 8 is not an option but I am torn between the 8+ and the X. I like that the 8+ is a similar size as the Note 8 but I also like that the X is edge to edge like my Note. Such a tough decision!

Why leave the Note8 then.. especially if you love it?

I am the ONLY person in my entire family who does not have an iPhone. I guess I miss that "ecosystem" even though I much prefer the Android OS.

I'd say get the X then, since you have a Note 8, the iPhone 8+ will look like a dinosaur design-wise.

Tis true I guess. I love the old design but man it really is tough having large bezels after having basically no bezels.

Well what do you do on your phone? Do you watch a lot of movies, or play games? If that's the case, the 8+ may be better as you don't have an annoying knotch in landscape, and you actually have a place to rest your thumbs (the bezels) when you play games.

I use it for social media, email, and the occasional movie on Hulu on a long trip.

Keep your Note 8. Try the iPhone X and iPhone 8, you have 14 days for both devices to see which you prefer, if any.

Yeah, totally understand. I asked because I am in the same exact “first world problem” conundrum . My whole family and work family all have the iPhone. I use Apple Music (Family plan)...and miss iMessage big time. BUT i love the NOTE8. It is such a great phone, love Samsung Pay, love the pen..etc. But i miss the ecosystem and vertical experience with my family and my other apple devices.

So, I think I am in the same boat, gonna get the 8+, go back and forth probable between that and the note. Then when X comes out, i will get that as well and probably sell the 8+ on eBay and recoup some of the $.

You don't need advice...you need more money so you can afford both.

Now that...is a first-world problem.

the X will feel too small vs. the Note in spite of the new bezel-less design.
definitely should go with the +

op I also love the plus size iPhones, been using one for 3 years now.

Here is a quick pick of an X vs iPhone plus

Wish I could find one in landscape. I’m actually looking forward to a new design and chose the X over 8 plus. I do use my phone mostly in portrait except for watching YouTube.

well just remember that when you'll watch YT on the X - you'll have to do it with black bars on each side, resembling the regular 8 size screen. if you'll wanna zoom in the X's full screen the image will be cropped to fit.

Yeah, I’ve thought about this. And even though it’s a negative, it’s about the only negative I can think of with how I would use the phone. Still enough for me to want to try a new design. I would say almost everything else is in portrait. Photo taking is the only other time .
