I much prefer the notch to the forehead and chin combo.
Maybe because it's just enormous compared to the iPhone X and maybe because it is 100% unnecessary in that phone with huge chin.
YOU'RE getting more for 1k though. Sorry
Does anyone think that if say Samsung had come out with Face ID that every Android fanboy wouldn't be shouting it from the rooftop and bashing Apple with it? Seriously, Face ID is amazing, and I don't get why people don't recognize how much better it is than say Touch ID.
why then 999$ and not 850$ or last year price? why exactly 999$ thats the thing...samsung without copy, cant even value their smartphones on the market ?!
You do realize that Apple's next watch will offer a bigger version too, right?
Double the storage, for one. And an opportunity to quadruple it to 1TB total if you buy a 512GB SD card.
If you’re talking about the iPhone then you’re absolutely right.
thanks for keeping headphone jack and SD card. 1TB on a phone is mind bogging... for me the other notable feature is using with a real display with just single cable. that can work as semi computer. cpu / ram is plenty powerful for typical surfing and movie watching.
> Comes with last year's now-outdated Android version
lol no thanks.
lol no thanks.
Yeah but you have to remember half of that storage would be used for paging when Android memory leaks on a Chrome tab
Huge screen, pen, headphone jack, bigger battery, fingerprint reader, no notch. Pretty good!
How? It was $850 last year.. why the jump to $999? why? is there a secret Samsung isn't telling us? lol.. nahhh no secret, just Samsung milking apples nuts again by copying them again, and again, and againnnn.. even copying the price, very pathetic, and others seems to agree here. Get the point?
double the memory, a bigger battery, to name a few. Why they chose 999 im not sure. But these improvements are worth atleast a 100 dollar increase from last years model.
I've always appreciated Samsung's hardware and approach to it, however, one aspect I would like to see improvement is software. My last experience with Samsung's version of android is with the Note 5 and s7. While it was good, my preference still leans toward stock or near stock android. Why can't google/lg build better pixels...
I never understood what was so aesthetically pleasing about the Samsung phones. To me they just look like an enormous rectangular screen with bars above and underneath.
I’m a big fan of the rounded corners and edge display on the iPhone X. Makes all other phones feel so dated when I use an 8 or a Google Pixel. But that’s just me.
Neither one of these features were "innovations" by Samsung. They always made feature-salad phones with poorly optimised software and big price tags backed only by gorgeous displays.
Nice it'll be released with out of date software.
lol do you know how cheap batteries are? specially if you make your own LOL, and Samsung makes memory, so you are describing things that they personally make, which means their cost should not be a "huge" factor.. Again, waiting to see why the $150 jump
After all that apple bashing, samsung comes up with this?
Apple’s next keynote: Tim: “who wants a phone that copies our swag?”

Double the memory just to run Android as smooth as iOS is more an OS negative than a hardware positive.
