I sure hope so. The big phones SHOULD have more and better capabilities.

Samsung Shares New 'Ingenius' Ads Pitting New Galaxy Note 9 Against iPhone X

Fair enough. As I mentioned in a few responses, there is a small niche group of people who want one, but the general consumer mass market does not. That’s probably why no other manufacturers have focused on the old school stylus. There are third party ones you can buy for iPhones though so maybe that’s the route you take if it’s that important to you.

LOL the last ad could be used as a ad against the S9 and S9 Plus. Terrible marketing, consumers don't like negative ads, its been proven over and over again. Focus on your product (Note 9) and tell me why I should switch to it by highlighting its new features, wait there are none...
I wouldn’t mind one. I wouldn’t choose a galaxy note over an iPhone just for the stylus but I wouldn’t mind one for the iPhone.
The third party ones just aren’t very good. Before I got my iPad Pro 10.5 and Apple Pencil I bought a third Party stylus for ~ $80 to use with my old iPad Air 2 and it wasn’t very good. It was supposed to have palm rejection but it didn’t really work. So I’d rather have an Apple made one.
this is because the poor performance of storage speed in some models.
Nobody seems to care about this, but is just same important as RAM, GPU or CPU...

Yea I wonder what they’ll do with it. The current Pencil feels way too large to use on an iPhone. I don’t see them having multiple sized Pencil’s, but I guess we’ll see.
Their features are... all XD
They have all you can put in a phone, from the begining of smarthphone era, just in case someone could miss some feature.
Galaxy 2032 would still have jack, finger reader, 25 cameras, usb-c, sd card together with 20 years of innovarion technology. All making troubles as windows users might know... who cares about size, just a bigger screen will justify the new size for make room to everything
Oh yes, I agree, VERY mild in what you could do if you really wanted to.
Bringing up quotes from the past, showing poor/shoddy designs from the past.
One could really twist the knife.
Let's be honest, Very few Mac fans are going to be keen on the ads, so it's a given it stirs up so many issues here.
If you ARE a mac fan, and you think these ads are stupid and do Samsung no favors, then you should applaud them, and hope they keep them up. The last thing you want Samsung to do is make amazing ads which make people stop buying iPhone and buying Galaxy phones
Generally speaking Android comes out with newer tech first. Facial unlocking has been a think for them for a bit now. Apple only has it on the iPhone X.
As a general rule if you want bleeding edge, Android is and has been your answer.
If you want polished then Apple is your answer. Sadly, iOS 11 has shown Apple may not be the answer so here's to hoping 12 has them clean up their act a bit.
Every one of these commercials just reinforces how much I am NOT a Samsung potential customer.
Touchwiz enough said and Samsung is just sleazy as a company it’s sad

And the x (2018) will be even faster ;-)

The note 9 hype will die down after iPhone 2018 releases
Face unlock on android is nothing like Face ID on iPhone X. The only similarity here is "Face" in the name of the feature.
When it is all of android (including a plethora of manufacturers) against iOS (one manufacturer) it does look grim for iOS when it comes to innovations. Even still, Apple does quite well overall, even with it's size disadvantage.
But, like many Android innovations pulled down from PCs / Linux, Apple brings quite a bit over from the Mac & MacOS. At this point in time, these devices are less phones with software, and more pocket computers with cellular radios built in.
it works better then iphone X. If you lose your head, you can use a backup photo to unlock your phone!
Correct. And at that time... Apple was in a weak position in the PC market.
So is Samsung admitting that Apple is actually the stronger competitor? Is their only option to tear-down Apple and point out flaws in the iPhone?
It's funny though... Apple isn't really the cause of Samsung's problems.
Samsung seems to be ignoring all the Chinese manufacturers who are selling similar/better/cheaper Android phones.
I think they're more to blame for Samsung's 10% drop in sales YoY.
It’s actually even easier, just hold up a picture. Honestly, there’s flaws in both videos we are referencing. Just move on.
The point was to display how asinine a feature it is. Unless you’re a business CEO holding FaceTime meetings with your board or something, nobody needs the ability to FT 32 people. It’s a fake feature. You’ll never use it.
I’m looking forward to it. I have iOS devices deployed over a team of 60. This will be cheaper than a Skype license and I’ll be able to easily have calls with regional teams of 25. Can’t wait. You’re right though, it’s a niche group of people, just like a stylus. Both aren’t marketable features in my eyes.
Store models are set up to unlock all faces otherwise how will random customers demo the phone?
Here's the owner of the original video admitting his mistake.
So? A chance of that always exists, just like with fingerprints. They actually have very similar facial features.
