But why would anyone want as large a device as fits in a pocket to be able to take accurate notes or sketch out ideas?
The point of a mobile device is *CONSUME DIGITAL MEDIA PLEASE* not enabling creativity or productivity, doesn't Samsung get it?

Pebble
Retina screen, the Dell Streak offered a 5" display in 2010, where the the same year Galaxy S only had 4"
Apple Newton's pen.
Have been around for much longer.
Lumia 920
No, Samsung didn't invent photoplethysmogram.
Is a smaller ecosystem compared to Apple's HealthKit.
Simply following the Apple model, when you see lesser and lesser people upgrading the product, increase the price of the mobile and make loyal customers to shoulder the pain.
Why is this even on a website called MAC Rumors ? paid advertising disguise as article or what ?
What exactly is it that they have copied from apple?
Large display?
S pen
Smartwatch?
Smart watch with LTE?
Tablet?
DeX?
512GB of ram
Large battery?
Any of those done by Apple?
If PDA's count, Apple wins with the Newton, big screen, stylus, handwriting recognition...
1994 is back, baby!
Big phones? Yeah, right.
Apple:
The Smartphone (more or less)
TouchID
FaceID
3D-Touch
iOS
TrueTone Displays
Apple Pencil
The way you can change a band on the Apple Watch alone is a milestone innovation. I enjoy it every single day. Honestly.
If I wanted to buy an Android device, I would opt for a Sony device. not Samsung.
I get enough Android from running Bluestacks when I want to check out what the latest Android kerfluffle is. So far the selection of apps has been pretty depressing. There are next to no decent art apps to make use of the pen. Google apps slurping up all your person information to sell you, the product. Sure, you can hack your device, but I didn't buy mine to tinker around under the hood to fix shortcomings.
$1300 for the 8GB 512GB RAM model
I imagine the iPhone X Plus model this year may well be a 4GB of RAM and 512 GB SSD for likely $1300 as well.I love the notch. Samsung design may be considered as outdated real soon.
Apple were not the first to have a fingerprint scanner on a phone. 3D Touch is based on haptic technology which has been around on android for years.
Microsoft had the surface pen out before the Apple Pencil. Samsung also had tablets with a stylus going back as far as 2012.

This comment makes me laugh and is a microcosm of Apple users as a whole. No matter what Apple device you have you have to give credit where credit is due to Samsung. Samsung dropping that 4000mah battery is HUGE! Samsung's display on their devices are gorgeous. Apple users have to turn loose their notions that our products are superior in every way because they are not. Their whole presentation was extremely impressive and interesting. A watch that last for days and multiple faces to access the apps needed is nice too. I am more than willing to bet that if this was Apple' keynote someone like you would gawking all over it hollering "innovation innovation" from the roof tops.
Good job Samsung!
I got a sneak peek at the next-generation Samsung Watch. Still in Development; but they have leaked some Prototypes out...
I have Note 8 but I recommend you to upgrade. Samsung have a trade-in of $400 if you return your Note 8 to get a Note 9. I think Note 9 comes with free AKG noise cancelling headphones as a gift too.
Those Galaxy watches are hideous. Apple makes the only decent looking smart watch. I really don’t blame the designers since it is impossible to make digital watches look as good as real, mechanical classics. No matter what they do, they will always look like cheap toys.
As for the Note 9, I expect it to see alright until the iPhone X Plus arrives. Samsung has trapped themselves in a corner with their bezel less design but Apple will soon have the same problem. How do you keep making new designs when the only thing you can change is the back? Not having a bezel leaves little room for creativity.

Yeah, too bad that isn't possible with an iPhone.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.
Oh, wait:

Wow, that speaker looks fugly. And the announcement just gave us a replica of the features shown on the Apple HomePod announcement. They don't even try to hide it? Seems like a dead-on-arrival product to me. The design seems like a miss and who exactly wants to have and use Bixby?
This is Samsung in a nutshell. They always try to cram their own in-house solution instead of supporting the Android ecosystem. It was the same back when Google Chromecast/Google Cast started to become big and became a part of Android. What did Samsung decide to do? Block the native support for Google Cast within Android in order to push their own Samsung Allshare that no-one uses...
This is the same thing.. Instead of going with and supporting Google Home/Assistant they are trying to push their own solution in Bixby which in return makes the entire product that much less appealing... It's just crazy to me how they keep doing this over and over again even though it tends to never work out...
