I want to......... but anything above 60k is a no go for me. I think samsung would be shooting itself in the foot with those prices....
I would be considering the nokia-9 or pixel 2 xl if the price ain't right....
Pre-booking in India Started. You've to pay 2000!
Here is the link : https://shop.samsung.com/in/mobiles-wearables/mobiles/galaxy-s9-s9plus.html
Did anyone pre-book it ?
I did not. I am actually waiting for Flipkart. It will have some offers from the bank or some free goodies or discount on other Samsung Gadgets. So, waiting for that.
They will probably start Pre-booking in March 1st Week.

I just pre-booked it. They said you can change your order or back out if the offer / price is not right when they do launch the prices.
I have the S8.. i am not sure if it is enough an upgrade.. if I do go for it.. I will get the S9+ this time.. and I am inclined towards the coral blue color
I pre booked s9+ Lilac Purple, expecting the 64 gig model to be around 80k

Samsung Galaxy S9 256GBINR 71,000
Samsung Galaxy S9+ 64GBINR 70,000

Those dicount prices are amazing and even less than s8/s8+ launch prices. I think i might just get s9 though i dont really feel like an upgrade over s8+

Those are dealer prices and not discounted prices.
I currently have a Note 8 and hoping most of the new software features are ported to it.
The one feature that is tempting me to upgrade to a S9+ is the stereo speakers setup (the single speaker on the Note 8 is rather pathetic, especially when compared to some HTC and Sony phones with dual front-facing speakers). Has anyone come across reviews or YouTube videos that compare the S9/ S9+ speakers to other models? I am not sure how good they will sound since one speaker is front-firing and the other bottom-firing -- that is a rather odd setup.
Also, hoping that with credit card cashback and buyback offer on the Note 8, the S9+ price will work out to be palatable.
i am hoping i can sell my Pixel 2 XL in OLX/Quickr and buy an S9+

So simple question is note 8 would be worth it i am upgrading from my old s5 or should i wait for note 9 or s10
From S5 coming, e.g. note 4 it's worth to upgrade,too. [emoji28]
If you have enough time, you also can wait for note 11 or S12. they will be even better
The note 8 it's an "up to date" high performance device. But in the smartphone section a 1 year old device is an old device .......*crazy world*.
If you have enough money for a few new features and want an 1 year more up to date device, wait for the upcoming devices.
Every new coming device will be a little bit more faster or better as the predecessor model........ every year!

But how should we know if you should wait for the note 9 or s10 ? We don't know what you want or need. All we know till now are rumors, nobody knows how the end product will be. So you can check those rumors yourself. And for the note 8 there are tons of reviews out there, so be sure to check them out too and decide what you need or want. It's really pointless that we discuss here what is already all over the web. Just my opinion.

I recently bought a Note 8 as it was an amazing price. Dual sim, 64gb midnight black colour, only 540 EURO, brand new. Considering it cost almost double that when released, it was amazing value. 95% as fast as a Note 9. You can see on Youtube the speed test, even faster than iphone X in most cases.
Note 8 with the Exynos processor is a BEAST. If you can purchase the Note 8 for a good amount, go and buy one. You won't be dissapointed. It is VERY fast especially with a custom kernel and rom.

Thanks a lot i have got an offer for note 8 dual sim 570$ so according to your reply it is really great deal
I was forced to upgrade from my Note 4 N910C to the Note 8 N950N with 256GB of internal storage a few months ago, and I have to say that is probably my best purchase of this year! As my N950N is a beast of a device and will run anything without any issues whatsoever. The camera takes excellent shots, which are just as good as those taken on my N910C.
I would definitely wait for the Note 9
Much better battery life expected with the 4000 mah battery.
Also a few nice tricks with the S pen.
You would regret your purchase if you end up buying the Note 8 especially when the 9 is just around the corner

You should absolutely buy it... It's a one time investment phone from my perspective.. It has everything you need in a premium phone... (telling you after using it for 8months)

Pure speculation. You don't know the Note9 will have a 4000mah battery or even what new features the S-Pen will have.
I think the Note8 is the best device I've ever had and probably will be for a while to come. I doubt the Note9 will offer anything of worth to me.
I'd wait to see a couple of price-points about the Note 9 first. The first one is obviously phone's cost. It's likely to be 1K. Is that worth it for the dual speakers and larger battery? Bear in mind screen is bigger and brighter so I'd be wary to assume battery life will be significantly better.
Then there is that upgraded pen. OK it's got bluetooth in it. But how much is that going to cost to replace now? At least with the N8 you can use N7 pens and they are relatively cheap.

If you could put up with the satisfactory Battery Life and the lack of dual speakers , this device is definitely worth your money !!
If you can afford to wait, then kindly do wait and check the Note 9 before making the final decision as the announce date for Note 9 is less than a month away.
Cheers !!

Someone is cut haha.
I had the Note 8 and returned it as it had poor battery and wasn't fluid due to touchwiz. I wouldn't give more than 500 to 600 for the Note 8 especially when you know the Note 9 is out in a couple of weeks. You will regret purchasing the Note 8 for sure.
Wait for the Note 9 aa it will have great internal upgrades making it worth while.
The Note 8 has a 3300mah battery which is a laugh on its own on a phone with 6.3 inch display.
I suggest you wait and make the ideal purchase

A device is worthy depending 0n what it will cost, and what you expect to obtain, pure an simple , note 8 devices are droping their prices, the difference in price against a note 9 may be some 300 dlls or more , so in the end it is a matter 0f the kind of money you are willing to pay…. And what you expect to obtain…

You are missing the point.
Most people buy the Note range over the Samsung S series for the added benefit S pen, bigger screen and business usage.
In other words it should last much longer than others
im also going to probably buy a exynos note 8 tomorrow. i have a s9 plus but the battery life is pretty terrible and there at least root for the note 8.
According to all phone companies it's worth the upgrade no matter the year shut up and give them your money lol
Hi all :victory:
Samsung announced today their new beast the Samsung Galaxy Note 9. What do you think about this new device ? Are you considering to buy it ? Upgrade from your current device ? Tell us :good:
i just received an email from samsung that i can preorder today, they said everyone else preorder start tomorrow.
hopefully i get it sooner than everyone.
i preordered Verzion version since i'm with Verizon prepaid.
i trade in my Note8 for 400$. that' a fair price, if you sell it yourself, you have to pay swappa fee, paypal fee, and shipping.
reason i want note9.
1. need something new to play with. haha
2. cpu and graphic is faster than note8
3. 128gb storage compare to 64gb on note8, but do i need it? i only used 30gb on my note8
4. bluetooth spen, hopefully i able to use it for selfie.
5. hopefully we can Quick Charge 4. qualcomm listed QC4.0, charge 15 minutes get 50% battery life !
I'm buying it for sure. Till the official announcement, I wasn't considering it based on strong rumors of still being equipped with QC 2.0 and my personal taste on the not-so-usefulness of the S-Pen. But then, I made my mind to get it ASAP due to,
1. 4000 mAh battery.(little disappointing that it's still QC 2.0 only). I'm not so happy with the S9+'s batterylife.
2. S-Pen is pretty "dope" this time around- it's a remote controller for the camera, it's a pen, it can control streaming services from 30 feet away, can control apps, it's customizable, gets charged under 1 minute using supercapacitors inside....
3. AI integration on camera.
4. Water-carbon cooling system to prevent overheating and AI based performance adjuster.
5. Plenty of of RAM and flash Storage.
....
**Pixel 3 xl was in my mind but then after trustworthy leaks showing its design, I felt "NO". , it should be the Note 9 worth taking.
Was going to preorder it, but the have only the blue one, and purple one available only, wanted the black one. Also you get a free AKG wireless noise canceling headphones.

Qualcomm SD 845 chipset supports QC 4.0 but Samsung capped it at QC 2.0. So, do not hope
I was excited for this phone but after reading it still only comes with Android 8.0 was enough for me to say PASS.

Samsung experience have all features you need,you get even more than what Android P users are getting and will ever get even in Android 12 i think
In italy, we have to rent the 512gb/8gb ram for 45€ per month 24 months long with a first payment of 99€.
Waiting for firsts reviews to check battery.

To me, if I am going to pay upwards of $1000 for a phone then it should be Flagship. To me that means the most up to date hardware and software. At least Android 8.1 would be acceptable but 8.0 just means that put a nice paint job on an old house.
I actually didnt want to get it, but my Note 5 is getting older and battery is not holding a long charge.
Plus Tmo can give me $500 for this old phone. I think I am going to pull the trigger.
Likely ill get it, not thrilled with the color choices...copper is the only one Id consider but i def need to see it in person.

I've found the more memory I have available, the more I'll use so 128 Gb may suit you well. Quick Charge is 2.0 for the Note 9 which is a bit disappointing but not a deal killer. I turned down Samsung's $400 trade in offer and sold my S8+ for a $100 more on a local Craigslist post., no fees or shipping required. Personally I feel the S9 Plus makes more sense unless you really use S Pen. The devices are very similar in hardware besides the bigger battery on Note 9, display size is very close but the big difference is price. New Note 9 - $1,000, New S9 Plus (128 Gb) - $664 for the device on ebay.
Just pre-ordered unlocked 128 gb from Samsung. Bought a lg g6 on swappa for $160 to get the $300 trade in. I'm ready!
I pre ordered mine. Blue with 8 gigs and the 512 memory. I bought an S7 active on eBay for a $100 and will trade it in for $300. Just sold note 8 for over $500. Bought Whitestone Dome glass and S View case. Hurry up August 24th!!

I'm doing something similar! Buying the S7 for $130(ish) and trading in for $500 through T-mobile! Where did you snag one for only $100?? I can't seem to beat $130.
I'm getting the $999 Note9 (Blue). Can't wait! I adore my Note 8 and the only thing that I wish was better was the battery life, so this phone should be PERFECT!
Nice pre-order deal here in Australia, on samsung’s site: 512GB model for the price of the 128 GB model, A$1499.
And samsung will give me a very good trade in of A$785 for my 10 months old pixel 2 XL. That’s about what I could get on ebay, but without the hassle.
Ordered!

Bought one with "shadows” . There are even cheaper ones with the green line running down the screen.
My seller is out of NY
Bought 128gb Blue, ugh I wanted black. Got the unlocked version 400 dollars off thanks to an S8 sitting in a drawer. Wife gets to dump her LG V20 and get my Note 8 and I get the 9 for 640 bucks with tax. Win win.
Got mine ordered last night!
I've seen so many different rumors about prices and models. Does anyone have a break down of the rumored price in US dollars? Will they really price the Galaxy S10 at over $900? If so it may be time for me to jump to the Pixel 3 if Google drops the price again.
Latest guestimates from Forbes
Samsung Galaxy S10 will start at $799 and it goes up to high end $1499.:cyclops:

Please do't say that, I really want this but 800? I was hoping around the 749 for the S10.
One price rumor puts the budget Galaxy S10 Lite model at $650-$750 (roughly £500-£585 / AU$900-AU$1,040), while another rumor has the Samsung Galaxy S10 price rise to £799 which will likely be around $779 (around AU$1,400) for the 128GB variant and £999 for 512GB of storage..............-'GOOGLE ANSWER'.
Even samsung has raised their price like Apple.

Maybe, you can go with lite version of S10 series that is S10E. Not that much difference in specs between S10 and S10E.

Who else signed up for the pre-order trade-in of $550 (for S9s)? Was expecting it to be only $350-400 like last year.

This makes sure that S10 will be more expensive than the previous versions of samsung galaxy S series.
I was shocked when I saw the $550 I have an S9 Plus and I know back when the Note 9 came out I saw where they were giving $600. I paid $849 for my 9 plus after getting $400 for my Note 8 and I got a $450 BB gift card through my work for something so I own my 9 Plus now it's unlocked and my husband paid $650 for his Note 8 after we had gotten $300 for our 7 Edges. I wasn't into the Note and got the 9 plus but now I want the 10 plus. I have been saving too so I can buy my 10 plus out right too. I reserved us a spot and can't wait to see the S10 plus. But over at slick deals lots of people complaining how they got screwed with trade ins I hope this isn't the case this time around. We had no problems when we traded in our 7 Edges and got the full $300 so I am hoping we get the full $550 our phones are in perfect condition. I had just called the day before this $550 deal came out to this kiosk that bought back my Note 8 for $400 and they said like 245 for the Note and 3 something for my 9 plus. I just hope the 10 plus 128 version is under a 1000 if my 9 plus sold for 849 maybe 949 for this one I'll take it.

No. He has no proof either though.
Funny how you think Google will drop the price for the next Pixels, even the Mi 9 is now over $500 that should tell you how the other flagships will be. Personally, waiting for the Pocophone F2 that's the only SD855 phone that will be below $500.
I'm currently needing to upgrade from an S7 and am debating whether it's worth my time to try and eek out another month until the Note 10 is announced to see whether the s10 price will drop any further. Currently a VZW s10/s10+ can be found for $600/$700 respectively (through Samsung, Best Buy) with a DPP; I'm wondering if the price would come down any further next month when the Note 10 is announced/released...
Does anyone remember whether the s9 saw a price drop when the Note 9 was released? I haven't been able to find anything definitive regarding price drops on Google from around that time (Aug 2018).
Any info is appreciated.
I would wait and see but I kind of doubt it will drop much in price. Note 10 will start at $1200 so keeping the s10+ at $999 seems about right.
