I don’t know how the double cut out really looks but the single hole punch is miles better than the current notch (Apple ,Google).

I’d rank them like this


Samsung S9+/Note 9
Tear drop notch/hole punch



The notch- Apple and google.

I might favour the single hole punch over the tear drop but need to see it properly.

Right now I feel Chinese oems have the best solution with the pop out selfie cam.
It’s used far less then the rear camera and allows a full display.

I agree about the camera and the Xs max has a really good camera now. The S7 edge had a great camera. Better than the 6S plus I had at the time and even the 7 plus I got afterwards. The note 8 was alright probably as good as my 7 plus I had at the time but the X I got after had a better camera. The X had a better camera that the S9 plus. I’m also concerned about a loss in camera quality particularly as the one on the Xs max is really good now.

I don’t think iOS 13 will have comparable features but I would take split screen apps and a change to the home screen layout for now.

The iPhone X camera was pretty disappointing to me, imo the gs9 was better.

But apple really stepped it up with the XS. My XS Max has the best camera I have used on an iPhone by far.

The cameras are all pretty comparable in well-lit scenes where everyone is stationary. But when you're trying to take a picture of your kid running around and the lighting isn't perfect, cameras like the one on the Pixel blow others out of the water.

I think ecosystem wise it’s ok I’ve you replace it with Samsung products which is what I would need to do

Phone
Galaxy watch
Galaxy buds
Tab tablet

I couldn’t just buy one product

Photo integration for me would be the issue moving away from apple. It syncs perfectly and I hate google photos

When it comes to watch/air pods/iPad that’s where apple is miles ahead imo and losing that is something I struggle to come to terms with

Even if the Samsung phones are fantastic and do more than the iPhone.

The performance and smoothness of apps is still a big deal for me

My Fiancée has the S8 and when using hers and going back to my max I just like the feel of the iPhone better software wise even though I lose
Always on display
Spilt screen apps
Secret folder
On screen widgets
Window in window

All great features that I wish I had

I know you went back to the iPhone from the S9 and note 9.

Do you see yourself doing the same or is this it you’re going to stick with the Samsung line?

I know these events make things tempting to switch but if we end up going back to what we like best is it worth switching? Tough I know

I am not sure why you think just in terms of mobile OS android works very well with W10 devices among others

W10 tablets or 2 in 1's offer a whole new world over just replicating your phone on a larger screen on a typical Android or IPP's

Cloud services offered by MS offer a far greater flexibility and synch than what you are use to with Icloud including generous storage space. Samsung come bundled with 200GB not Apples 15GB and Office owners get 1T each for up to six family members and so on before we even talk about dropbox and others

The only real differentiation on the Apple ECO is you can answer cell calls across devices most other useful features are available

There's nothing wrong with personal preferences and familiarity but don't let this limit your options or cloud your judgement the Apple ECO is a thin double edge sword of mostly trivial convenience vs device entrapment by lack of cross platform compatibility

Yeah, I hated how the X camera overexposed people in selfie mode, it would totally blow out the faces with light.

The variable aperture on the S9 was quite good for taking pics in dim lighting in doors but the iPhone X I had at the time was better at taking portrait pics which I use a lot. I have kids. My baby stays still but the toddler is more difficult to gets pics of these days.

I don’t take selfies so I don’t really care about the selfie camera.

I agree. It’s highly convenient but now I feel utterly trapped. The worst thing about is that I know what’s put there because I used android for 2.5 years and have had various devices over the past 4 years I’ve been back with Apple. It’s the other devices that are holding me back.

Is the in display fingerprint scanner the same as the OnePlus 6Ts, or a different more accurate and higher quality reader?

From this site I got some leaks of the accessories:

For the S10 e

For the S10 (and possibly the S10+)

Samsung_Galaxy_S10_covers_1550557113322.jpg

Wow I love that teal cover. :eek: I have a lot of clothes and accessories that color. I may have to rethink the white color choice I was going to make. That style of cover is the one I have that just protected my S9+ from a four and a half foot drop out of my truck onto a rough asphalt parking lot. There's just a tiny scrape on the case. I didn't even notice it at first. The phone is fine. So it's a proven design for me.

Not so much the colour, sorry but if that's the LED case the date etc looks better I assume the grey is the new leather cover but with LED
[doublepost=1550685501][/doublepost]A cunning plan ish:

I'm thinking the S10+ in a nice bright colour but a grey case, so when the Galaxy fold comes out I can swap out the Mrs S8 for the s10+

It's fun to plan. I'm so excited. My husband and I are trying to get the Unpacked Event on TV now. Yep here it is.

Ahhhhhhh the Fold!
