Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 Compared to iPhone 8 Dummy

Shouldn't that be: "Samsung's Galaxy Note 8 Compared to iPhone 8, Dummy. And the Note should be taking notes..."
We need to wait and see what the Apple backroom has cooked up, but it's premature for the Note to be pounding its chest. We haven't had the first spontaneous combustion yet...

Your suspecting Samsung stealing Apples vertical camera alignment? Apple is blatantly stealing Samsungs display design. How about stating that first?
Might be worth waiting until, you know, Apple releases their new phone to complain about the look, rather than complaining at Apple about mockups that other people have cobbled together.
iPhone 7 is 7.1mm thick with a protruding camera that adds about 1.3mm. To make the camera flush you have to add a case that's at least 1.3mm thick so now the total thickness is 8.4mm while the battery is still deficient compared to 8mm Galaxy S8 with flush camera. It's better to make the phone thicker with a bigger battery to make the camera flush.
Here's a Galaxy S8 non-Plus destroying the iPhone 7 Plus monstrosity in battery test. The iPhone 7 non-Plus is about 23% worse.
What is the obsession of comparing two phones, Samsung s8 it's a different phone, also nobody knows what the new iPhone will look like until is released. This is so stupid, and do not make any sense at this point. Wait un till September and then you can compare. My God!!!!!
Because they switched to OLED like nearly every other manufacturer or because they narrowed the bezels like nearly every other manufacturer? Do you really believe that Jony Ive sites at his computer all day waiting to see what Samsung releases so he'll have design inspiration? Really?
Ok, well here is list of design awards he's received (as per Wikipedia) - I can't figure out why he'd receive all of these awards for stealing Samsung's designs, but there you have it:

However, Jobs was succeeded by Tim Cook, the company's former COO.

Note 8 will be clearly the best. Records audio better, takes better pictures, allows me doing some nice sketches. But iPhone has universal clipboard. Come on, hardware is important indeed.
Lol - yeah - clearly Apple stole the iPhone dual camera idea from Samsung. I better get Tim Cook on the phone now. Oh wait - he just sent me this link: http://www.techtree.com/content/features/11600/dual-camera-smartphones-launched-iphone-7-plus.htmlSamsung had a vertical dual camera SCH-B710 phone in 2007.
I wonder who stole what from who? Although almost all of them look better than the Samsung B710.
This is the one thing that stands out to me as I see this all the time with my 6S+ and my wife's 7+.
Both iPhones last a long time between 100%-90%.
Once they get below 90%, it drains at a faster and more consistent rate.
LOL! They look nothing alike. Get real. They're both rectangles with rounded corners. Execution is entirely different. The whole Galaxy line was conceived as an iPhone clone. You've clearly forgotten.
Seeing awards lists like that always makes me smile and wonder if people actually believe that Oscars and other such awards are only dished out to the best of the best and most deserving.
Besides, many people on here believe that a multi-billion dollar company like Samsung base their product designs on Macrumors articles....
I will give props to Samsung and say that their last few generations of phones have a unique design aesthetic and no longer look Apple-esque. Good for them.
That protruding camera makes the iPhone look it has its own iPhone.
Surreal to be comparing shipping product to a non-functioning third-party prototype and conclude they are pretty much the equal. It is like comparing a chef's cuisine with an Instagram photograph and saying they both look and taste similar — or in the minds of some people, the photo is better.
It wasn't Samsungs display design, bezeless was started prior to all of this. But that wasn't stated either.
Amazing the hubris over this.
Your case would still have an enormous window. Their design is abysmal. They should have tried to hide the camerasThe back is SO important because no one puts cases on them, right?
idiotic. The device being thinner is always superior. By the way the L-shaped battery in the iPhone this year will embarrass the Samsung phones
Samsung had a vertical dual camera SCH-B710 phone in 2007.
Wow. What difference does it make? Back in 2007 they weren't vertical so they could be used in the VR headsets.
What a completely useless comparison. A product that DOES exist pitted against a product that doesn't. You may as well compare the Galaxy to the next- unannounced Ford, SUV.
What a waste of time that was! Stealing is stealing regardless of the past. The iPhone screen changed and is now looking like Samsung.
