Looks dope. Lets hope samsung can fix the pwm issue for amoleds.
If they have pwm for the displays of other phone manufacturers like Google and Apple, they seem to have the secret to taming the migraine inducing effects on their own phones. I’ve been using S series phones for about 4 generations now and for the last two, S8 and S9, I definitely have no complaints. And I would have ended up in the ER with seizures had I tried to endure my XS Max display another full day.
My Pixel 2 Samsung display gives me eye strain with its flicker but doesn’t make me dangerously sick the way my X and XS Max displays did.
[doublepost=1543415809][/doublepost]Oh to answer the original question...I don’t know if I’ll buy it or not. I was so sure I’d buy the Note 9. I even had a preorder. In the end, I decided to wait because Samsung’s customer service enraged me when my husband tried to preorder, too. Our last trade ins went flawlessly but they refused to even process his preorder until every aspect of mine would have been completed. Yet both of us were delayed a month on delivery.
And there’s always a lottery with Samsung (Apple is getting that way, too, sadly, but at least it’s much easier to process a return or exchange with Apple). Out of all the Samsungs purchased between my husband and me, almost half of them would qualify as lemons. Not quite half, but it was close. Of the four Note 7s we had, his first one had a wretched display. My second one had wonky performance and overheating issues. I had two S7’s. One had wonky performance and overheating issues.
Our two S7 Edges were ok in most respects but his had battery problems. Of our S8+’s His was fine. Mine has a pink blob display and now both of them are so laggy they barely function despite light use. I hate that phone so much I’ve recently arranged for it to be traded off for a paltry $230 so I could buy a Christmas present. I don’t care what the market rate is for it, I would almost have gotten more satisfaction running it over with my truck. It wasn’t just the phone itself but the experience I had purchasing and trying to get Samsung to respond to my questions that had me almost writing off Samsung for good.
It was with great trepidation that I traded off my S7 Edge for a discount on my S9+. But the one last chance paid off and it’s been one of the finest phones I’ve ever owned. It’s better in most respects than any of my iPhones. All that holds it back is that I don’t like any of the wearables for Android enough to give up an iPhone and Apple Watch combo and I am one of the unicorns who finds Apple Maps indispensable where I commute.
So I am all over the place with Samsung and therefore don’t know what I’m going to do. But yes of course I’m drooling over these promised specs. However, I doubt this configuration will be offered outside of China and South Korea. Maybe...but I wouldn’t get my hopes up.
love what Xiaomi did there.
