Is it just me or does it seem like Samsung is phoning it in on the Note 9? They are taking things off the table to curb them for the S10.. The Note line was the premier flagship but now seems like no more than an obligation. Anyone?
Let's hope not because I'm a huge fan and there are a few of us at least.Samsung wants to make money. That's all I think they care about, so they're going to make whatever decision they think will get them the most money. If that means death to the Note line then death to the Note line but I don't think they're even close to that yet.
The Note used to be the phone that debuted new Samsung tech first. Now, it's the S series. So, it seems like there is no wow factor for the Note line anymore. It changed when they aligned the numbers of the phones. The naming is too similar. Why would someone who doesn't know but a Note9 when the S9 has been out for over 5 months? They are basically the same phones now released 5 months apart. So, it feels like old tech for more money.
I don't think the note is even used as a productivity device by most ppl. It started out with ppl wanting it mainly for big screens, removable batteries and external storage. It was a phone geeks wet dream. That's being filled by other devices. Few Note users actually use the S Pen (from poll taken across the web) for productivity purposes. And Samsung has not increased the s pens usefulness outside of its own ecosystem. I say get rid of it too, it's too expensive anyway.
Well, if I designed a Note it would be like this:
8GB ram
512GB built in storage
Removable battery
IR blaster
FLAT 6.3 Inch screen
Water resistant
Finger print sensor in screen.
That would be my phone if I built it
I wonder how much it would cost to produce and buy lol.

when are we getting those curved or foldable screens? seems like we have been reading about them for a year or two now...

Not true.
Remember the Note 8 was the first phone with the dual camera setup. Then the S9 came out with it as well and added on the Dual Aperture.
I think it just all depends on what technology they have that's ready for mass production.
