Yup, just like Apple's IOS bloat in any iphone/ iPad/ Mac.

Never had one fail? I have lost photos when the sd card failed in my camera.
Please share proofs that this phone is less secure than the IOS ones.
[doublepost=1533848797][/doublepost]One thing people do not understand is that the Note Series is NOT the standard general public release phone... Samsung's main bread/ butter for phones comes from the Galaxy Series which is targeted towards the same audience as Iphonez.
Note Series has always been the high-end priced option, and its a no brainer. Apple came up with $1000 pricing for a phone targeted towards the general public.

Wouldn't that loss/ corruption happen on a normal phone flash storage?
Wait what???? I've been an iPhone user for 4 years and i definitely dont do that. Actually, my phone is good through a whole day and i listen to music at work, make calls, i'm an ardent twitter and instagram user and text a lot throughout the day. Maybe you're talking to some people that experienced slower battery issues with the new iOS because it was an older phone so the new iOS slowed it down? Because i have an iPhone X and this thing is a beast. I also have AirPods and its been almost a month since I charged them and they're just now coming down to 15% charging. Where are you getting your stats??? Because they're not true at all. If anything, I had a samsung before and I had issues with battery and hence my switch to iOS.
Even with infinitely more memory Apple's software is so poorly designed it wouldn't allow multi-tasking
It's a routinely used pricing scheme that is used almost everywhere. It gives the psychological feeling that something is cheaper. It's why you see stuff price in supermarkets and stores at $1.99 instead of $2 or an electronic product priced at $199 instead of $200.
Never had one fail. You have one fail in a different product category so they are unreliable?
No, they are reliable until you lose something not replaceable, unless you have backups.
All these Samsung devices are outstanding. Our concern is Samsung’s inability for keeping up with Google’s OS and security updates. Until Samsung can perform OS and security updates as promptly as Apple does, and support for older devices (three to four years old), for us Android is a non-starter. That said, with their release of these devices they are to be complimented.
You are correct. Dex is a lame and laughable attempt to make a Phone into a PC.
It's as silly as Split Screen on a Phone.
Which is exactly what I said in an earlier post. Argument applies to any storage

Until Apple does it
Split screen on a Note size screen in landscape is perfectly usable. Two screens the size of an iPhone 4.
Apple quotes average battery life right on their website:
https://www.apple.com/iphone-x/specs/
Current consumption: Note that the Specs for the Note 9 state 22 hours Talk Time (sorry, I can't find where I saw that earlier), vs. 21 hours for the iPhone X. HOWEVER, the iPhone X only has a 2,716 mAh battery, vs. the whopping (and heavy!) 4,000 mAh battery in the Note 9:
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbre...hone-x-3gb-of-ram-2716mah-battery-specs-apple
And this is typical of SnapDragon-equipped phones. Samsung has typically had nearly twice the battery capacity and only gotten VERY marginally better run-times than their iPhone counterparts, generation after generation.
So, all things considered, this means that the SnapDragon OBVIOUSLY is a current-hog, compared with Apple's Homegrown Axx-Series SoCs.

..and with iOS, too.
But you are right. Dex is a lame attempt to make a phone into a PC.
Hoi, less of that “balanced argument” malarkey around here, thank you very much. There’s no sitting on the fence in MacRumors.
Now grab your pitchfork and pick a side
Right, so if you don’t backup and you lose photos, etc, it’s on you. I had an sd card reader on my blackberry and for me, I didn’t use it. But it’s another failure point as I see it.Which is exactly what I said in an earlier post. Argument applies to any storage

Apple has offered Split Screen on iPads for a couple of generations, now.Which is exactly what I said in an earlier post. Argument applies to any storage

They (rightly) believe it is just silly on a Phone-sized screen.
And I agree.
It might be "perfectly usable" if you have 20/15 eyesight and are under 30; but not so much after that.
You talk a lot of nonsense for someone who doesnt know anything about another person since I own a X since launch and I also happen to own the AirPods so my point still stands, Samsung devices cap more technology inside than any iPhone ever will, dont forget where your "X" screen comes from.
Also FaceId isnt perfect in fact Touch ID is miles better since its faster and doesnt get tricked by a twin.
[doublepost=1533853570][/doublepost]
I'll give you the OS updates but how do you know you are totally safe on Apple's side? What proof do you have that your data is private and not used by Apple? Tim Cook's interviews? Apple's terms and conditions would love to have a talk with you.
Not taking anything away from the note 9, but it’s an opinion about who has more technology. Depends on what is important.You talk a lot of nonsense for someone who doesnt know anything about another person since I own a X since launch and I also happen to own the AirPods so my point still stands, Samsung devices cap more technology inside than any iPhone ever will, dont forget where your "X" screen comes from.

I use split screen multi tasking on my S9+ and Note 8 with no issues at all. I'm 35 with a cateract in one eye!
No doubt you'll sing the praises if this comes to iPhones.
Technology it’s not about what’s important it’s what’s the best available on the market and that’s what Samsung has been offering compared to Apple period.
why are u even expecting them to? They dont produce the OS and the product as Google and Apple do. So you are always going to have fragmentation.
You know Apple and Samsung users have to learn to appreciate each other and respect their products. Both companies have made significant impacts to the cellular world and continue to do so. As an iPhone user it’s sickening seeing Apple users sit on their imaginary throne of excellence looking down on Samsung and Android users. Likewise Android users shouldn’t act smarter than iPhone users. To each his own! I personally was wowed by this announcement by Samsung and am going to jump ship. Apple’s inability to make a long lasting battery is baffling and their camera is definitely not pleasing. iPhone and Android users are worst than Democrats and Republicans!
