Don't dismiss all Corollas, some are sought after...
There were few touchscreen phones at that time. I had a Nokia 7710 in 2005 with resistive touchscreen and a stylus. It was awful to use.
Please explain why Apple have kept this antiquated technology on every product launched since?
Ooh so a cheaper price then the iPhone and a headphone jack and new camera tech, for a phone, will be an interesting battle this one, shame about Samsung’s OS though, if it had naked Android it would be an easy sell.
I don't particularly care for Samsung, although I am an Android user.. But their DeX is really interesting. With Linux distros supported soon, you can plug in your phone and get a full linux desktop workstation running all the programs I need for work. Interesting to see where this goes.
Also, would LOVE for apple to make something similar. Dock you iPhone and get an OS X desktop, that would probably bring me back into the iPhone camp (although would require OS X to be running on ARM, not sure how feasible that would be).

Dolby atmos on a phone? Seriously? Will you even notice directional audio on something so small?
And does anyone even deliver content online with Dolby atmos encoding? (Apple said they will for Apple TV but that’s about it as far as I know).
Also, in 2018 there should be no jerky ANYTHING on the phone. Some of the UI is still stuttering, even in an advert. Has jerky UI now become a design asthetic for Android? Like people are so used to it they demand to see it!
The interesting thing about this phone is its camera and the price point. $7-800 dollars in iPhone 8 pricing and $200 dollars cheaper than an entry iPhone X. Apple will have to keep the iPhone 8 line and the iPhone X line if samsung keep the same price range. Also if a rumoured iPhone X plus comes out the price difference for flagship phones between the twelve companies will be huge.
I’m not sure Apple will be able to deal with that unscathed.

Samsung has never had a 'faceID'. The salient part of this is 'ID', meaning it can be used to authorise credit card payments. This is why they have no choice but to keep the fingerprint scanner and worse keep it on the back of the phone.
Is this macrumors or samsungrumors forum?
What I like about MacRumors, is that they report not just Apple related news, but also other smart phone manufacturer related news. It saves me from having to visit multiple sites to find out what else is happening in the tech world around us. That’s what I really like about how they report from various competitors.
2 milliseconds into 6 seconds of footage does not add up to me.
960 frames per second = 1 millisecond per frame.
2 milliseconds is thus 2 frames.
That played back at 30 frames per second = 0.067 seconds of footage.
or in other words 960 frames per second is 32x normal speed.
2 milliseconds x 32 = 64 milliseconds of footage

Seems like two great phones. But its obvious that Samsung is going full-out on the "gimmicks" here. Like Dolby Atmos on a phone?
Dolby Atmos is the current-generation surround format from Dolby. It differs from Dolby Digital by adding the capability of having metadata in the audio allowing for spatial sounds spaning both horizontally and vertically. It supports up to 128 sound sources / speakers.
These phones have only two tiny speakers. They have a really hard time getting a stereo perspective to work in the first place. How on earth are they supposed to give you anything that has to do with a Dolby Atmos sound-stage? Its complete marketing jimbo without any substance.

I think the bloat and rather pitiful Samsung CS has pushed/is pushing a few others away (myself included). Also quite difficult to ignore Nokia/Pixel/OnePlus/Xiaomi if you want OS updates in a reasonable amount of time at a lower price point (not the pixel of course). I know having tried vanilla android i'd never let Samsung sway me back again.
The unwashed! Such is a vile term. Some would say it makes you part of the snob effect!. Now I like iPhones and iOS but its nothing about status and price make a product good. The S9 looks to be a good phone at a sensible price point for a flagship model, that can have via expandable storage have up to 400GB.
Having played with an X with is rounded screen corners (because all TV's and monitors have that right) Its slight but annoying at least to me, lip where the stainless band goes round the glass and its incredible fragility. Add to that the OLED screen with its own inherent issues and what I perceived as awkward gestures, meant I stuck with a seven this year. Call me a cynical consumer maybe or just aware that other operating systems and devices like the S9 can be good too. The X to my mind for its usefulness to me compared with previous versions was not £700 better (with apple care) than the 7 for my own needs, nor will any phone costing over £1000. Your wallets mileage may vary of course.
Then why is the headphone jack still present in all of other apple products? Hmmmm, curious.

Why is it still there on the iPad and iMac?

So do I that's why I added it to my iPad, iMac, tv, and PC monitor. It's a fantastic future design. Notch all the way!
Had a genuine interest in this but when you can't begin your keynote without immediately attacking your main competition like a petulant child you can forget it. Especially when you then go into talking about features you've copied from that very same competition...Literally turned off as soon as that happened. Not going to do business with children.
yup, they've always been very keen on selling gimmicks. According to initial reviews the phone has great speakers (relatively I suppose as far as smartphones go) - they could have just said "improved speakers", though.
As always, if you're ready to switch phones every year, Samsung is just fine. They make good hardware, the software is also fine. If you think you're getting a version update after a year, however, you're out of luck. Security-updates wise they've been quite ok lately.
