Are you sure the 512 wasn't in power save mode? Battery was at 15% compared to 87% on the 128.

Wow, that's a huge win for the 512, if true. Is that not a real-world performance type of difference, in your estimation? I'm really struggling with the decision of 128 vs. 512. I have a 256GB SD card and don't even have 50GB used up on my Note8 internal... So I'm thinking I should stick with the 128 and save the $250. Unless there's actually a performance difference, but I'm not sure 8GB can do much at this stage. I don't know!

In theory then the Snap 128 should beat the snap Exynos then? One thing I've learned in the past couple of years is benchmarks are essentially for bragging rights, there is no real world impact on an Antutu score from 250 to 300k. Not unless you are measuring apps opening in milliseconds and want to claim because your phone opened said app .00001 ms faster you win. I've never had any type of problems in real world use of the Note 8. I suspect it stays the same with the 9.

Perhaps Samsung is using slower memory chips in the 512gb version? I remember awhile back some phones of the exact same model were unperforming because they were using slower memory chips in some of them.

It doesn't look too much different than the s4, very disappointed. Everything else looks up to par but I was expecting something different. The s3 which was their best selling device, customers are due for an upgrade. IMO it was imperative for Samsung to push the envelope and correct some of the constant criticisms the s phones have received. They hit a home run with the s3, the s4's sales were dismal at best now was the time. Software and hardware look good but it seems the build quality will be questionable as usual. Touchwiz looks the same. I wonder how locked down this phone will be. Most likely I will be buying one as I did with all the previous models. The m8 might have to come first though.

I like new look, blue abd gold one looks nice, better than iPhone or Sony. I really like live hdr mode and fast auto focus. I want live hdr on my phone and this new ui it loojs nicer.
Water resistant is cool thing. But people remember its not waterproof dont swim with it, like lots of people with their S4Active, then they cried. Hope they improved usb flap port cover.
I laughed when they said that we customers want better KNOX, maybe when it wouldn't void our warranties when counter is triggered it would be ok. But I am disappointed that it has only 2gh RAM. With all that samsung stuff running in background sometime its not enough. And it would need better colling system.

I don't particularly like the design. As mentioned before, it really isn't much of a change from the S3 and S4. I'm excited to get the full resolution wallpaper though, I like the looks of that!
From a technical standpoint, I don't think 2 gigs of extra RAM is gonna give the phone a 20% boost in performance, but is 64 gigs enough keeping in mind no expandable storage?
I'm coming from Redmi 2 Prime with 16gig internal, but I have a 32gig SD which is almost filled all the times.
So what do you say - should i wait for the 128gigs to come?
Also, for my Indian friends, can anybody guess the price of 128gigs? I'm thinking under 20k probably.

no need to guess the 6/128 model price, it's already listed for €283.78 at gearbest but I personally think there's no huge difference in performance as android 9 will use ~2,5GB RAM and pixel 3 XL will even come with 4GB, right? howevery finally it depends on usage, for playing games Mi A2 might not be a top deal, I read it's getting hot. for my daily usage - web, email, fotos! - the 4GB model is perfect.

I own the 6/128 model while my brother has the 4/64. As far as I can tell, it rarely makes a difference, such as when engaged in many apps (We've tried with Snapchat, Facebook, Whatsapp, Camera, and Google Photos. It was a minimal difference but I have to say that the extra storage with cloud functionality is awesome. I wonder if I can root this Android One model of the 6X.
It's not getting hot in my opinion, unless it's charging. It goes well beyond 50 degrees, which is kinda toasty. I have tested the thermal issue as such: Pokemon GO with max brightness and 4K-30FPS max brightness. The phone got a bit excited at start but in the end it managed to keep itself from overheating without reducing performance that much. As for the camera... I am a bit disappointed since I was expecting something a bit better than the A1 but it seems to be pretty much the exact same. I can do some sample photos of everything if anyone is really interested.

As it's been for a long time (computers, laptops, etc), the extra ram won't increase performance. It ** Will ** perform better if you open many many apps at the same time.
Do you do that? If it's necessary for you to, then wait. If not, then don't.
The extra storage is soooo subjective. I don't create or use huge files. If I did create huge video files (as an example), I'd use wifi and upload to some cloud storage, when possible. But, some people may be doing multiple vids in a short time and don't have the opportunity to upload... so for them it may be worth getting the 128.
It's not really a mystery, if you have ever run into storage limits (say with a 64), then get the 128. If you haven't before, you probably won't now.
I too wish the Mi A2 had an expansion slot, it would be nice. But is it a necessity? Not for me it's not. I could use it for years and never have it affect me.
If you can wait then get the 6/128. If you need the phone right now then buy the 4/64.
It all depends on what your requirements are.

I was about to purchase a2, then the bomb called poco f1 dropped, and I went for that immediately ?
thank you all for your help.
Today in the GalaxyNote9 subreddit, there has already been 2 defective Note 9 displays been reported. Both users purchased the US Snapdragon models via Samsung. One was a 512gb and the other 128gb. Both show the same green line down the right side of the display.
The phone hasn't even officially launched yet and the fact that we're already seeing 2 defective units on a subreddit with less than 3k users is VERY worrisome. I really hope this is just incredibly bad luck.
I pre-ordered mine through my carrier here in Canada and will DEFINITELY be testing it out in store before I leave.

Hello! I can't see anything wrong from the pictures. Can you tell us exactly what to see in them?
You do realise that millions of Note 9's are already in circulation.
If you are VERY worried I would cancel and stay with what you own.
Lemos will be found, 100% guarantee of that. It's unfortunate but a consequence of mass production.

Thats why there is warranty.
I think if you had a green line down the side of your display, you would definitely notice, without even specifically testing these phones

I originally ordered the 10th (128GB). Then I wanted to change my order and they couldn't edit it. So on the 19th, I canceled the order and reordered the 512GB. Sept 5 through Sept 12 is the estimated date.
Ordered through T-Mobile.
I have a note 9 512gb variant with 8gb ram. However when I go to apps in settings none of the apps report full 8gb ram. See the attached screenshot. Storage is reported correctly by apps but not ram.

That's because all the running and cached apps take up an enormous chunk of the ram, I have the 6gb version and barely have 2gb available ram, shocking really, I am pretty disappointed, you should be even more so haha.
I even have over 100 apps disabled which did free up a bit, but not much.
I have a le eco le max 2 with 6gb ram with a custom pie rom on it, with almost 5gb free at all times.
I see no performance issues on the note 9 but it seems daft to advertise a phone with 6 gb of ram where barely 2 is ever available. Obviously any operating system and running/cached apps are going to take up some of that ram...but really over %60?

2GB of RAM are eaten up by "SWAP" on this phone.

Same here, but, I'm glad I opted for the 8/512 version.
After experiencing 8G RAM on a few phones (BlackShark/OnePlus 5T/RazerPhone), I wasn't about to pass up the option, especially on a Samsung device, running a much heavier skin than vs the abovementioned. Out of all of those (Note9 included), I'd have to say the RazerPhone seemed smoother/faster, but not by very much.

remember the Android Mantra; "unused ram is wasted ram"..
forget about how much free ram is "available"; it means absolutely nothing on a modern Android Phone..

That's because all the running and cached apps take up an enormous chunk of the ram, I have the 6gb version and barely have 2gb available ram, shocking really, I am pretty disappointed, you should be even more so haha.
I even have over 100 apps disabled which did free up a bit, but not much.
I have a le eco le max 2 with 6gb ram with a custom pie rom on it, with almost 5gb free at all times.
I see no performance issues on the note 9 but it seems daft to advertise a phone with 6 gb of ram where barely 2 is ever available. Obviously any operating system and running/cached apps are going to take up some of that ram...but really over %60?

The RAM usage is different. Android works accordingly to what is available.
4GB, 6GB, 8GB.
It actually utilizes what is available. The more RAM you have the more it will use
Well... Running Bitdefender in the background and my phone is not even reaching 4GB.
Anyway more is better than less, I'm sure some future version of Android will take full advantage of that RAM
As soon as all the phones were introduced, i put the 5G atop even the Fold. But having this phone when the S10+ gets a 12GB variant and Ceramics killed it for me.
Will those two options ever be available for the 5G?

That might be right but don't forget this device gets the UFS 3.0
and that makes a huge difference in speed and performance!

I read ufs 3.0 so I called Samsung to confirm, spent an hour on the phone with three different departments and never received a definitive answer.
Definitely not UFS 3.0. the only advantages are the bigger screen (not for me), bigger battery (but still as yet unproven battery life), and the ToF sensor which is useful for girls that like to post artsy videos on their Instagram page. That last one I don't think is an advantage as I've seen the mate 20 Pro do some awesome portrait video like gimmicks as well without that sensor. Samsung just hamstringing the other S10 models I think.
I just repurchased the S10+ 1tb version (long story) and think I've decided to wait for the Note 10.

I agree if it had UFS 3.0 like the fold I would think about it more. Hoping to wait out the note 10 as well and hoping UFS 3.0 and better 5G modem!

No x55 in the Note 10 unfortunately. If you want Samsung gonna have to wait for the S11 pro ultra super 5g edition unfortunately. Should have it by then.

You don't think the Note 10 will get the new x55? Has to be close to coming in the note 10. Wonder if it will get UFS 3.0??
I've read lots of articles saying beginning of 2020 for the new modem. One article said end of 2019, but August isn't the end of 2019. UFS 3.0 has to be guaranteed in the Note 10, otherwise Samsung is dropping the ball.

Agree with that. UFS 3.0 better be in there or I may have to hold out for S11? I wish I knew if Note 10 had UFS 3.0 and what modems. If it doesn't have UFS 3.0 and still using old modem I should buy an S10 5G now then for the bigger display, bigger battery and more cameras but wish I knew what Note 10 would entail
