A good point on the exchange rate, Apple absolutely raped Canada as well with their prices. $2k for their top storage xs max.
I know Canadian dollar is weaker than USD. But it’s not a $500 difference on the top phone
You know as well as I (and everyone else), what is posted online is a small sampling of the vocal minority. Not the silent majority.
The Note 9 clearly validated the higher prices Apple charges, whether one believes their (either Apple or Samsung) phones are worth the price or not.
I agree and to be fair 1k+ for a phone is, lets be honest stupid money. Regardless if its Apple or Samsung or whomever, I got 400 off trading in my note 8 which is a little less than ebay but no risk so i thought what the hell (plus a juicy ppi came in). If there was no trade in then i doubt i would have been bothered to upgrade as the 8 was a nice device
Probably 4 product lines being introduced......they still have the high end chrome OS devices to introduce for this year, the bixby smart speaker, windows 10 devices (possible galaxy book replacements), and a introduction of their foldable phone technology and true prototype. (Product diversity and innovation....something lacking with other big brand companies
)

It's a real event now according to the verge...so it's not just this.....this can easily be released with online advertising

Ah, good to know. Jon Rettinger kinda sucks anyhow, so I was hesitant to post that to begin with.
@FFR is there going to be any point where you let other people find value where it fits them? You're seemingly on this witch-hunt against folks who find the Note9 more valuable to them. Not everyone is going to agree with you, and not everyone will agree with me, and that's okay. The things you care about (you might be the only person dragging on and on about ufs vs nvme), may not be things anyone else cares about. I've yet to see you say one positive thing about the Note9, nothing but throwing negatives back in others faces. To you, maybe it's not worth a dollar, but you can't seem to accept the fact that other folks see the iPhone in the same light. These are personal tools, and every person can spend their money where it's valuable for them.
Somehow, as much as you clearly hate Samsung, you continue finding yourself in this forum of all forums.

Sure find all the value you want, I was discussing hardware don’t know why people take it personally.
Ufs vs nvme are standards one is better than the other, Samsung will eventually adopt it for their smartphone line.
I have been in the industry a long time and have a lot of friends that work for Samsung as well as Apple and google. None of them take it personally as some do here.
I have even attended some of Samsung past unpacked events.
From the s5 unveiling:
AT&T and other companies say it is, EOD.

Laugh, they don't need to adopt it. Samsung's is already faster. I also have friends that work at Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and so on. But you on the other hand are the only person here that is so negatively emotional about other phones that aren't Apples, that it makes every conversation not fun to have on this site. Honestly, you need to go away as you ruin this site.
Eh, I don't take it personally at all. I just see you rehashing the same bullet points over and over to anyone who thinks the Note is worth their money moreso than the iPhone. People don't need to hear the same rehashed points over and over again to make the right decision for them. If it works for you, that's great and I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase.Sure find all the value you want, I was discussing hardware don’t know why people take it personally.

I use my free throw-in headphones every day btw fwiw.
"A Galaxy Event" makese believe it's Galaxy A Series related and it may be an update to the range, as they say 4X Fun.
When fanboys think they know more than the top SSD manufacturer. Perhaps Samsung chose UFS for mobile for the combination of performance and lower power consumption.
Even Vivo Nex with UFS 2.1 is already faster than iPhone X.
UFS 3.0 is even faster with max total data rate of 2900 MB/s vs UFS 2.1 1200 MB/s.

That’s great and all, but it won’t change the fact the iPhone X sold a ton. It won’t change the fact the XS will sell too.
Yeah, and no one said they wouldn't...? It's funny how sales get brought into a conversation that was never about sales. I also don't think anyone (except FFR, apparently) is rushing to buy an iPhone because "oh my god it has nvme!". They buy iPhone for the other hundred reasons.
I am just saying because it was a comparison between a Vivo and iPhone X w/ UFS storage. If storage writing speeds were really significant, then it would factor into sales. If anything, it's a conversation point and could be something an Arstechnica could explain why it's important for a Samsung or a Vivo product.
I brought in sales because when people compare an iPhone to an Android device, it's not the same comparison. Apple products may have some inherent advantages, like FaceID and the 7nm processor, but they're lacking elsewhere. RAM, flash storage writing speeds, quick charge speeds, etc.
Those things aren't needed for Apple to make the sales, so it's not a fair comparison because they're not going to stick all the best of the best tech in there. Notice how Band 71 LTE just got into an iPhone XS/XS Max/XR along with dual sim capabilities? All that stuff has been on Android for a little bit longer, so of course Apple is going to overhype inclusions like dual SIM tech.
On the contrary, they're important enough to discuss. Notice how HTC is getting closer to irrelevance and obscurity? Notice how Samsung is the most dominant force in the Android sphere? Notice how lethargic Apple can be and still make crazy sales? Without the market shaped as it is, we couldn't discuss why the XR has a 850p display or why Samsung may push its foldable display tech to a later point in time.
For starters, Samsung pushed curved displays and allowed itself to test the market. Since their products are super popular, they know they could push foldable display tech and possibly sell a ton of the product.
But the iPhone selling more than any other phone says nothing about the quality of the iPhone. HTC going bankrupt says little about the quality of their phones.
I think the storage issue was brought up because originally FFR claimed that there were no new features on the note 9. When someone pointed out having 512GB of internal storage as an improvement it was rubbished as being slow and inefficient and not as good as the storage on the iPhone. No one is saying that having UFS makes a phone better than the iPhone or that it will suddenly outsell the iPhone.
It is a sad state of affairs as well as amusing how people get so personal over a brand.and whilst both camps have there cheerleaders the vitriol on here sometimes ott.
I was on xda site which is a dev site and mainly android. And someone was discussing why they were not getting the new pixel and felt there next choice would be an iPhone x.
And the response from the forum was pretty much..you got to get what is best for you and enjoy it. No foaming at the mouth.
I dont like iOS, I dont like getting less for more price/features specs imho but I can appreciate how nice iPhones look and how good the eco system is.
And I would never knock someone choice cos its none of my business and not my money.
Is the note 9 a perfect phone, not at all it's missing something, and anyone who had the note 7 will understand that as the 7 was the perfect marriage of hardware and software, and I dont have the same attachment to it with the 8 or 9.
Whatever Samsung releases will hopefully spur companies to push forward and hopefully apple will come up with some fresh ideas too and bring a bit of excitement back to the game, otherwise we are just going to enter the cycle amd and Intel fell into, stagnation and that benefits none.

Well said. There are absolutely small (thankfully) contingents of supporters for specific OEMs (<cough>Apple and Samsung<cough>) who see them as incapable of doing no wrong and either never acknowledge their preferred company's shortcomings or any positive aspects of their competitors. I've just learned to tune them out and let them fade into the background....or just hit the ignore button.
Makes discussions around here far more pleasant and useful.
