The iPhone 11 is just the same phone as the iPhone X. So why spend so much money buying the same phone twice. Geekbench warriors will disagree drooling how much higher scores they get, but in real world usage it is the same phone.

Better buy a Samsung Note 10+ and have the best of both worlds alongside your “old” iPhone X.

How about you buy the Samsung, and don’t worry about what other strangers on the forum are doing.

What if I am happy with my current iPhone? You are trying to hold a gun to our head and saying we must buy Samsung?

I do not take to ultimatums like that very well, so I will have to give you big resounding "NO!!!" and advise for others, buy whatever makes you happy or keep the your current phone if that makes you happy.

Don't see point of this thread, no value

You can find the new "suspected" iphone 11 features numerous places--it is NOT the same as the X.

Whether or not all/some/none of those features are important to anyone is irrelevant.

Wasteland----

Maybe go and do what you want everyone else to do in this forum and save us some time and effort.

And also look up the meaning of the word “incremental”.

The Note 10 is just a Note 9 with a facelift.

I agree but I would also argue that a facelift brought a better experience than the mainly internal changes from Note 8 -> Note 9.

For example, the screen is now quite considerably bigger yet the phone is better to hold and similar size in hand.

IMO that is a much better improvement to users than say, increasing the speed of the processor.

Why even buy a Samsung Note 10+ when you can buy a OnePlus 7 Pro for less and better screen?

OP says don’t buy iPhone 11 because it’s the same as iPhone X. Reply was pointing out that the note line is also working with incremental upgrades. Are you arguing that the upgrades from The Note 8 to the Note 10 are better than the upgrades from iPhone X to iPhone 11? That assessment is surely subjective.

I think it is all subjective - for example, we might define "incremental" differently.

The “old” iPhone X still has the best implementation of AMOLED out there. Galaxy S10 in comparison.

I'm going for the iPhone 11 max/pro cause I already have the S9+ and S10+. Both which are great phones, and recommend to anyone. No sense in me getting a Note 10. Plus I want to see how iOS13 holds up, and how long I can last using it as my main device.

Stop it. That is clearly not the S10. You can see the bezel, black border of the display, and it clearly has a back light. You already posted these fake pics in the iPhone thread.

Hahaha this is hilarious. There’s no backlight man, it’s this scene that gives Samsung AMOLED devices a lot of trouble. If you have a Samsung AMOLED device go see for yourself already! Real 4K HDR 60fps: LG Jazz HDR UHD. At 1:46-1:47 and then at 1:51-1:53. Go find the darkest place you can and then let me know what you find haha. If you have a X or Xs for comparison even better.
