Not only ip 8 and plus has all those features..but the x is coming out on November with 1k over....with 64/256 gb...right?

don't Forget...they are ip 67 graded resistance...not 68.

Looks like note 8 is more appealing, right? What say you? Let's not bring OS issue into this.

I’ve been waiting to decide about the note 8 and well today I’m ordering it. I’m disappointed in Apple. I just hope I can figure out what to do about all my pictures.
Are you apple user?

About pictures, you can transfer them from osx to note. There is an app for it. Wondershare i believe.

I don't intend to purchase Note 8. I purchase a lot of phones, but avoid samsung.
But this year, just like last year, I will avoid Apple as well. iPhone 8 is still 4 year old design, and iPhone X is way overpriced, and I kinda like touch id, and am skeptical about face id.

But will reserve my judgment for when I actually see and try out the phone.

I agree. Although i need a phone bad, I still priortize what's important in my life. Life situation over iphone x or plus anyday.

Back them up to google photos.

One of the worst presentations. I felt like I was watching an Ad every 5 minutes. Almost as bad as Samsung's goofy Galaxy S4 presentation.
It was poor. Everything was underwhelming and it as almost like they didn't believe in what they were saying most of the time.

Yeah it is for me right now for sure.

i hate to imagine what the price will be per month via carriers

Apple's finance is $49.91 64gb and $56.16. I'm just going to pay off my 7+ and wait until next year.

I already know T-mobile will most likely require a bigger down payment, to keep the cost at $30 a month.

As a person who is Pro-consumerism...don't let iphone x crap take over your priority.

Time, because it rules EVERYTHING!
Without doubt... I played with it at the weekend, stunning screen and cameras, stunning.. and it's a phone that will drop in price after a few months to be a bargain..
it's hard to think of the Note 8 as actually being a competitor only to the iPhone 8 Plus due to pricing, it's Apple competitor is based in three or four year old tech and design...
The iPhone X is priced too high to be its competitor..

Way too much for monthly payments for any phone. Especially when the upgrade program isn't designed for you to keep it.

Yea, I think I'm just going to keep it for good.

Well they are charging I think around £60 a month for 24 months and a charge of £50 one off for the Note 8.. yeah the iPhone X will be a ridiculous price.
