I hope they offer steep discounts. The Samsung Ultra starts at $1299 with just 128GB of storage.
If they removed the external storage slot to increase your storage via an SD CARD I am going to be PISSED.

Excited to see the Ultra variant with inbuilt S-pen
And all your features like ECG, blood pressutl Monitoring auto working when you switch from your Samsung phone to another android OEM.
It’s crazy to think that I forgot they even make tablets anymore, given the iPad really is the single most marketed tablet on the market. But now that you mention it, I think I want to tune in just to see what the advancements are compared to the iPad, given I rarely see marketing from Samsung in the tablet area.
I think there will be a revival of Android tablets. More and more OEMs are entering the tablet market again, with Xiaomi, Realme, and even Nokia. The pandemic is making more demand into tablets, for those not able to afford and iPad, or those finding PCs to be too complicated.
It's now up to Google to start being serious about Android on tablets again.
I'm idly wondering if smartphones are a mature product or whether we are in an accumulation phase in terms of computing power before the next great innovation can happen.
My gut says it's the latter, but I can't prove it.
True, I understand where you're coming from. But the problem with Samsung is that they're always rushing to be the first ones out the door.
Regardless of whether the feature is ready for prime time or not. The first Samsung Fold was a classic example to be seen as the first even though that phone felt more like a prototype phone than a phone that has been properly designed and tested.
I'm always interested to see what Samsung announces each year.
Seconded. I know this is an Apple-cetric forum, but its genuinely hilarious how many people here don't grasp basic economics and actively want an Apple monopoly 😆
I have a hard time understanding if this is a joke or not. How can you seriously say that samsung should compare their phone to the iPhone 14, you are free to make the comparison, but only once both phones are out
Seems like you do not care about the products at all. You are just trying to defend a company.
I quite like the squarer design of the Ultra. It looks less like an iPhone and the camera design is a lot better. Samsung make decent phones but the use of the word 'Epic' in their tagline is awful.
I believe that all colors were already leaked: https://www.notebookcheck.com/Samsu...en-Pressebilder-in-allen-Farben.595490.0.html
It’s like hoping for M Night Shylaman to make a great movie again. A part of me still wants to believe, the rest of me just know better.
At the end of the day, the disparity comes down to Apple willing to invest in having an ecosystem, and everyone else either being unwilling, or unable to commit to doing the same.
Seriously. Samsung had like one crowning achievement - phablets. The rest has been a mixed bag, and this forum is still hyping them up like they are even capable of any form of meaningful competition to Apple at this point.
And probably unsupported before the iPhone 14 even comes out!
As for innovation, forget it. I think we're done. We're at the stage of maturity for smartphones. What we need is incremental improvements: better screens, better cameras, better battery life, less weight, lower power usage, simplifications. Rather than smash the whole chess board off the table, we just need to play the game.
Most innovation at this point feels like the customer is being experimented on, badly. Foldable screen phones is a fine example. I don't want that. I genuinely need a reliable and trustworthy device.

I understand your joke, but seeing iPhone users here upgrading their iPhones on a yearly basis anyway, does it matter in context of people here?
