Looks neat. Interested in seeing what other companies can produce that's similar to this
I've reached the very top of what I'm willing to spend on a phone. So there's no way I'd even consider a phone that's almost 2,000 bucks, unless it can 100% replace my workstation.

Problem with Samsung they love to be the first of everything and don't bother making sure it's good enough, this looks like a beta problem, no apps would really work well
Perhaps you are so full of your self that you didn't see how the presenter was nervous. I'm sure you would be much better at handing a big presentation to thousands of people around the world.
There's really no need to show specs, we already know the battery life is going to rekt away the XS Max. Oh wait the Galaxy S5 already does that.
You can be nervous and charismatic at the same time. They’re not mutually exclusive.
or.... $1100 for the max and $800 for the iPad Pro...
But there's better tech nowadays. Apple is only maintaining the high margins. Your point?
And vendors that design and manufacture phones in China.Get your photocopiers ready, Cupertino!
The price of Samsung phones are really going through the roof. Apple, please don't copy.Huge Apple supporter here... but I can honestly say that that looks awesome.
If Apple were selling one I would be buying!

Poor guy was shaking. Thought he did a decent job!
Totally love the innovation push.
Major kudos to Samsung.
Apple has done nothing of even remote interest on the innovation front anytime recently, so I applaud this sort of effort.
Apple needs to be pushed. Big time.

Those keynotes are always a good laugh, they never learn how to do it properly. Trying to constantly outdo Apple while not getting any response from the audience...
Anyway, the phone itself looks like very cool tech. An iPad in your pocket is brilliant. You can clearly see it's a first gen product and the price is ridiculous, but this could very well be the future. It's definetly not the 'now' for me though.

Since when did “innovation” mean “throw unorthodox ideas against a wall and see what sticks”?
Face ID technology (which the competitors still can’t replicate) or the Apple A-series chip (which the competitors still can’t outperform) is a lot more innovative than a screen on a hinge which you can open — to double its size and halve the thickness. Wow! How did they manage that?!
Are you seeing something I’m not?
Its way to thick folded up but its still super cool and a great start for the next phase of smartphones. Gotta give em props for this.
I can’t see myself with a $2000 mobile. I'm just going to stick with my cheap iPhone Xs Max, it does everything I need.
The square is problematic. Like, it’s a bigger screen but when I watch a video the screen is ... idk, half used?
