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.

What set features 8.1 has over 8.0 since that being the only reason you're not getting it?

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!
Hi everyone!
The note 9 has just been released and I already saw the price tag in my country.
In my county, the phone cost 1249,- euro. That is a lot! That is for the 512gb 8gb ram version.
The 128gb 6gb ram version cost 1050,- euro. Still expensive!
There are some pretty cool new features on the phone but I don't really think its worth the price.
The price will drop in time of course, but I still think when it dropped, its still way too expensive. U can get a better deal for a greater price.
So... what do you think?
I think it's very expensive and in Switzerland where I live now they don't give you any incentives so i will pass. I am very happy at the moment with my mate 10 pro.
Not for me. I got a s8 and can get a great deal on note 8

exactly! Also very happy with my oneplus 6 here
I think it's too expensive as well. Happy with my XZ2.
I think looking at the s9 plus or the lg g7 both have the same specs and are around 500 dollars now so yes it is very expensive for the premium to have the stylus.
Everyone is on here complaining about the price but honestly the note has always been the more expensive device. The Note 8 was $990 when it came out and the S9 Plus was $930. I mean the higher the memory and higher the ram yes its going to get more expensive just like everything when you get a upgraded model. If you don't like the price go with the base model. It's pretty simple or just dont get it period.
or, get a note 8, for a ton less, and almost identical features...
if you have the note 8 it isn't worth it , if you have s8 plus you might want to due to dual cameras you missed last year. I don't think its worth it right now 1000$ is a bit too much.
Specially when the s9+ can do the same thing as this phone besides the pen and the note 8 already has 90% of s pen features (except for useless pen remote thingy).
The only encouraging upgrade is the battery [but we haven't seen battery drain tests comparison yet]. The storage is not encouraging why? most of us have 128 GB SD Cards in our pockets and 512 GB SD Cards are expensive.
Make no mistake its a great phone but its only worth it if you use the pen and if you find the s9+ or note 8 battery capacity not enough for you , other wise the s9+ or the note 8 (depending if you want to shoot 4k 60 fps or 1080p 60 fps for 60 fps videos) is pretty good and almost has the same Camera features [Even in low light they are VERY close with all 3 of them having dual cameras and the amazing live focus features].
Personally I rather wait 1 year for price cuts [considering you have either note 8 / s9+].
I bought my Note 8 new for 600$ because I couldn't justify 950$. Now Note 8 is 600$ , I would wait until the price goes down.
Definitely worth it.
just faster CPU performance already worth it to upgrade from note8
stereo speakers
use spen for selfie
better camera

There is no answer to your question. Its relative.
If you want transport buy a bicycle, if you want to go one better buy a motorbike......Car....What car, a 4,500€ Yugo or a 1.5 million euro Roller?
Same with all tech purchases. Watches...... Buy a Swatch watch for 50€ or a Patek Philippe For half a million€ Its relative.
Got mobile phones here for 35.00€ Oddly enough THAT to me is a waste of money. If the Note 9 was made by Apple it would cost ?1,800.00€? and because it carries the Apple brand it would sell like hot cakes.
The Note series was never intended for mass sales as the S9 is. The note series is one of four styles in the 9 group. If you don't need nor use the S-pen buy the S9+ or the still cheaper S9.
So much to consider. My first lap top cost me twice this price in November 2000 and the specs!! ....650MHz processor. 6GB hard drive. 64Mb SDRAM memory etc.....
I think considering what the Note 9 does its incredible, not to mention only 36 months ago such technology would be only in ones dreams.
Unsure how one can value such a device? Very difficult. 1k for a smart phone, but then again its not just any smart phone is it.

Everything is expensive in Switzerland! Ive been there a bunch of times and the fordt time was shocked at the cost of things.

But for me totally worth every penny, all $1500 of them

the s9 has been a flop sales figures wise though....I seriously suspect N9 price will plunge in October / pre xmas sales and competition with Apple X11 or Huawei. Samsung are loosing ground and I don't believe this does anything to stop that....
My country have a promo. Buying the 128gb model will get free upgrade to 512gb.
And base in the exchange rate, it cost about 890 euros . This is from Singapore by the way.

Agreed.
Why buy the same phone as last year but with a wireless s pen that takes shots. I am still waiting for samsung to update their selfie camera to be as good as the back.
Also you are right about the argument "cuz cpu will be faster yeaa cuz its a car not a smartphone that goes 1 milisecond faster in opening Apps than past year"
Since when did Note 8 lag. And if Clock speed is the argument then you will just upgrade every 6 month due to fastest processor and waste your money

i said the same thing when I used to have 14" PC monitor, that screen is perfectly fine, I don't need no bigger monitor.
I used to have DSL, are you complaining about the speed?
now I have 22" monitor and Comcast cable internet , you don't know what you missing until you have it.

Invalid argument. Did you know the note 9 has lower ppi than the note 8 with the same screen resolution. Will that stop you from buying Note 9?
Oh and the s10 will be 2 miliseconds faster,will you buy it too?
The speed you won't notice unless you compare them side by side. In your daily tasks you won't just say "Hm i saved 2 miliseconds." Again unless this is a racing car,this is not a valid argument.
Beside the fact nore 9 and note 8 software is the same.
And 0.1 increase in screen size and lower ppi.
Isn't 4G LTE good enough? Fast enough ?
I wonder why wireless carriers throwing million$ and million$ to build 5G networks
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 have thinking about buying this phone and the price is being dropped to 23k.
So according to all of the users that have been using this device is it still viable option or i should skip this now.
I Like flashing roms and modding so this phone ticks that box aswell.
So wondering if someone could share their experiences so that i can decide if to buy it or not.
23k what ? I haven't seen this phone on sale (as new) for months. I even saw one used on amazon at more than 400 € while I paid mine less than 300 mid octobre last year. I recently bought a Mi Note 10 Pro but I prefer my 9T Pro (it's faster, and has no cut in the screen). I've flashed several ROMs (Syberia, cdDroid) but had problems with Camera apps. Now, I have both phones using the latest xiomi.eu beta (and there's nothing else for the Mi Note 10).

ON upcoming sale from 6th august k20 pro will be for 23k 6-128 variant and thats why i am planning to get this but have doubts about heating and battery backup..
Is "k" a currency ? I wouldn't never buy a phone at 23000 €, even not a car. Maybe I have to guess your country and where you expect to buy a phone which seems to have disappeared months ago. The phone is cold and battery lasts long (especially when not used).

23K will be Indian INR - Also FlipKart is an Indian online retailer, so there's a hint there.
Just had a look and that's coming in at around $305 US.
Probably not much difference in price to what you could get it for, last year, on AliExpress.
On one side, it's not much of a sale discount, considering it's over a year old.
But on the other side, there's been a bit of a price hike all across the board this year, so it's a better phone than all the mid range SD7xx phones that are available now, for around the same price.
If you can stretch to a bit more money, the Poco F2 Pro should be a better option. But if 23K is about your limit, This phone, will probably be the best available for that price.
Battery life and performance are very good, with not a great deal of heat under heavy load.
Its still great phone for 23-24k Rs price range SD 855 , 6GB Ram , 128GB storage .. no notch display with hdr and good cameras (can be made better via gcam mods) and great redmi has release kernel sources so you have custom os and rom development .

Poco F2 Pro isn't available in India and in current pandemic situation with India China dispute Buying anything from AliExpress doesn't make sense.
my budget is 25000 max and at 25k i also have Realme X3 which might have better camera(Though I don't care for camera's) and a 120hz ips panel with 855+ chipset but the development situation for Realme devices is bad so i won't choose that one and also it doesn't has a 3.5mm jack.

Its still great phone for 23-24k Rs price range SD 855 , 6GB Ram , 128GB storage .. no notch display with hdr and good cameras (can be made better via gcam mods) and great redmi has release kernel sources so you have custom os and rom development .

K means Kilo = 1000 everywhere (not just in India and not only 1000 Rupias):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilo-
Still, it can be Kilo grams, Kilo meters, Kilo bytes, Kilo Rupias, Kilo Euros, etc.
Hence the price "23K" without a currency is meaningless - in India it would mean 23000 Rupias, in Europe 23000 Euros, in US 23000 Dollars
Since this is international forum, nobody should guess that the poster was from India and that 23K meant for him 23000 Rupias (not Canadian Dollars or 23000 in any other currency)

i will mention the prices in full currency next time on..
But i have seen some review stating that the device gets heated up very fast and the metal frame and screen becomes too hot to touch or use..
Also Miui 12 Indian stable update has ruined the phone as much as i have seen the reviews.
So was skeptical if this phone will at least last me 1-1.5 year without any issue from now on if i buy it.

as far as i know there are no heating issues with this device
since i have K20 (not K20 pro) i haven't seen any issues in that device
and talking about MIUI 12, even i didn't liked that they made it exactly like iPhone. Only thing i didn't like about MIUI 12 is notification center else everything is fine
and custom roms are always there
and if you have ICICI or City bank card then you will get the phone for around 20,700 and for that price i think that steal deal
its almost at same price segment as poco f1 was
BTW even i am planing to but this at 6th aug

Ok thanks for your response now i am sure to buy this one on sale.
23k INR will be a good value for this phone. I bought it for 32k BDT (around 350 USD) and price has been same now after dropping somewhere to 30k. Worth mentioning it's not manufactured anymore so will be unavailable any time.
For the comparison with Realme X3, amoled is superior over lcd on phones anytime, regardless of refreshrate.

Hey, I recently bought the K20 Pro ( almost 2 weeks ago) and I am more than delighted with it...
I did pre-order the Oneplus Nord but I that the phone was overhyped and not worth it.... The other competition is Realme X3 but that phone doesn't have much ROM support... So no..
I just love this phone.... The built quality is more that Awesome.. and the pop up camera is more sturdy than I expected.. I got it for ₹2 25k.. And for that price it's the best in class according to me..
It does get warn...( As all phones do ) but I don't think that's a problem..
I did compare it with POCO X2 of my friend and I found its camera wayy better.... This phone's main camera is kinda average.... But I feel it's just the best deal you can get...
Also don't even think that this phone is an year old and all that stuff.... It's still the best. I personally believe that one year old flagship killer with good support are the best....
Previously I had Lenovo Z2 Plus with SD820...( for ₹1 13000 for a new one) and that was my life..
I hope that after reading this you too will become a member of our community....
The only ? thing is MIUI... And I am sure you will change that.... ..

Same here, just bought a few days ago for 24000 INR. It is the best bang for the buck. The only other competitors are Realme X3 which has LCD screen and no dev support, and the Nord which looks uglier imo and is a plastic build, with slower processor. The only upside for it is the 90Hz screen, but the K20 pro does go upto 72 Hz, so its not that of a big deal. Only downside is the camera, my old Mi A2 felt better (GCam in both). Especially, the selfie camera is very bad in a few indoor conditions. But even the Nord has the same main camera sensor, so there's that.
I think you should go for it.

23K will be Indian INR - Also FlipKart is an Indian online retailer, so there's a hint there.
Just had a look and that's coming in at around $305 US.
Probably not much difference in price to what you could get it for, last year, on AliExpress.
On one side, it's not much of a sale discount, considering it's over a year old.
But on the other side, there's been a bit of a price hike all across the board this year, so it's a better phone than all the mid range SD7xx phones that are available now, for around the same price.
If you can stretch to a bit more money, the Poco F2 Pro should be a better option. But if 23K is about your limit, This phone, will probably be the best available for that price.
Battery life and performance are very good, with not a great deal of heat under heavy load.

Yeah, this is great phone for 305$.

I really like the miui with all the bells and whistles it brings like floating window (helps a lot for my gaming), icon animations, hassle-free theme support etc.
Rom is personal taste and choice, ofc.

The OP 10 Pro is the second time OP has truly disappointed me. The phone is only available with 128GB in the US. For a "pro" model, this is a joke. The $900 price puts it right at a PIxel 6 Pro and S22+ price. There is 0 reason to get the OnePlus vs those two, considering both have substantially better cameras, more support for accessories, and much bigger communities on XDA.
My most recent OP was the 9 (non-pro). I've been very disappointed with the cameras, as even an old Pixel 3 I have takes better pics in most conditions. I replaced it about a month ago with a Korean s20 Ultra (so I can root), and I'm never going back. Much better camera, so many case options, and even though the processor is an older model, it feels just as fast. Went with the 20 vs 21 for sdcard support, and having an extra 512gb for $60 is great. I have all my pics and vids ever on the phone. All OSM for US, Canada, and Mexico, tons of music on the phone for flying (which I do a lot).
I've been a long time OP supporter, right from the OP1, and have had every phone except the OP2. They seemed to lose their way with the 7 (I had to get a chinese model since I didn't want the pro), and have been on a decline ever since, charging more but not offering anything better except the new snapdragon processor.
Sorry for the rant. I'm sure the 10 pro will be a decent phone. Right on par with the 9 pro, which was a decent phone. I'm just not excited about OP releases any more, when I used to be online hitting refresh for the sale to open.
Doesn't help that Jerryrig snapped the phone in half very easily. Be careful, these look fragile.
No SD card slot regardless of the internal memory capacity is a severe handicap. Even 500gb internal memory isn't enough let alone 128gb without an SD card. Having a OS drive and data drive(s) is the best way to run any PC or smartphone.
Samsung has also dropped the Note and the ball on all their current Flagships.
They screwed their loyal power users Apple bad.
Google Adroid emulated Apple by adopting cpu cycling sucking, user unfriendly scoped storage.
Android 11 and up suck Apple bad now.
I have 2 N10+'s, the second new one was bought 5 months ago. One is running on 9, the newer one on 10.
Whatever. I'm good for a couple years.
OEM new device releases are always a rollercoaster
I just ordered the Global black 128gb 10 Pro to take it for a spin....
No dual-sim USA. No 256gb USA. Both deal-breakers for me.
I spoke with my money when I canceled and bought a pixel 6 pro instead.

Oneplus are a bunch of turds now.

Pretty much this - I can't see a single advantage the OP10Pro has over the Pixel 6 Pro or s22 + or ultra. Granted, the sammy is a little more expensive.
I got the OP 10 Pro and I don't like the design after seeing it with my naked eyes and I'm gonna return this and get an S22 Plus!
In the EU we have 12gb ram 256gb

True True, I picked up my copy of the OP 10PRO 12/256 today.
Moving from OP6 makes a difference

AH, yeah! Fromt the 6 is quite a big move indeed!
I came from the 8Pro, not a crazy difference, but with the trade-in I got just a little less of what I paid for at last year's Amazon Black Friday
I don't understand why anyone would buy this phone. Performance is the same or worse than a 9 Pro depending on what you are doing, has less storage and ram, is more fragile, and the camera system overall is worse. This phone is a flop.
Another interesting fact is that our local amazon has gone down in price. For the first two days it was 1029Euro, then they lowered the price by 6% to 964Euro.
Not much, but still something. Plus headphones (OnePlus Buds Pro) on sale in preorder and the price becomes bearable
I can test it for one day and here are few things...
80W and 65W are almost the same
Stereo speaker downgrade
With 50/50 mobile/wifi up to 5h SOT
No OxygenOS (its more ColorOS with Oxygen skin)
Front camera is much better
Yes, no IP68

Hey,
You got the 10.. I just received mine today, good t see you.
Re: the OP.... Soon as there's some good pixel ROMs the photos back storage will be unlimited, 128GB for the most part is more than enough, at the end of the day it's a phone, would be nice to have more but not the end of the world.
Regarding the RAM, I'm not too upset by it.. should use less battery being 8 and not 12.. I don't think that there will be a performance hit.
Rest of the hardware is the same so I'm happy with it.
Guess if you really need 12 and 256 plus then I think your only option would be to buy direct.
