Reasons to pick up a S10+ over a Note 9?

[Velenoso]

Can you link the article where Bixby beat down Siri, Google assistant, and Alexa in a show down? The article you linked just talks about what Samsung is working on.

The heading implies it "Did Samsung's Bixby just beat out Siri, Alexa and Google" You can either accept it or not I don't really care.

Nothing to accept. The heading asked a question (in case you aren't aware, publications often try to get attention with a tantalizing heading). Anyway, if you read the actual article you will find no "show down" and no "beat down". Just go ahead and read it. At least it is clear what forms the basis of your whole argument. Thanks.

Honestly we cant compare devices unless the device is here... right now the s10 is just rumored features... if you can hold out and wait... awesome. if not pick up a note. it's a great phone.

Say the S10 comes out on 5G
And 5 G will only work in major cities.
What happens when you leave the major city it's to my understanding. That a 5 G phone will not work on 5g networks and 4G networks.
What now.
You need 2 phones.
And you will need a 5 G wireless router to be able to use Wifi calling .

Not true. See this article. (Don't let Verizon and AT&T's bad 5G demos temper your excitement for 5G in the real world https://www.androidcentral.com/dont-let-verizon-att-bad-5g-demos-temper-excitement) It'll fall back to 4G, just like current phones will fall back to 3G if needed.

A few things

1) the fingerprint sensor in display works with some screen protectors on the Oneplus 6t which is using optics

2) The tech used on the S series is going to be different and is inline with what Qualcomm Just showed off with the snapdragon 855. This can be used with a screen protector even will work if the screen is a little dirty. Google it

3) Samsung and other Manufactures will offer both 5G and 4G device options. The 5G option will be considerably more money.

4) 5G is only going to be available so far in 2019 with Verizon and ATT in limited markets.

5) Its a little bit of a mess on standards for 5G because Verizon is using one technology to deliver 5G and a company like Tmobile will be using another.

6) I hope carriers offer the option for 4G devices for the next few years because I don't want to pay more $$ for something I may not be able to use.

7) In closing, from the Qualcomm event 5g, is going to take several years to have a meaningful deployment outside major cities.

8) Oh Yeah, you'll be paying more too for the service

Assuming the s10 will be the update it is rumored to be I’ll get one while I wait for the note 10 I’m more excited about

 

[I Can Be Your Hero]

I'd say wait for the S10 to be revealed then make a decision if it's worth the extra $$ over the Note 9. Plus, the note 9 should be cheaper by then anyway, so it works out better for you.

I might get the S10 when it's comes out. Don't get me wrong the note 9 is a great phone but I'm ready for a smaller phone for a change.

the bezel will be super thin, and the camera has 3 lens (Huawei did on the Mate20 pro_

Recently I got a iPhone 6s, also a note 9. I used to have iPhone 7 plus, now i found that iPhone 6s is perfect iPhone.
So size does matter.

 

[planomaic]

How about the 99 ration screen and bezel?

 

[sulla1965]

Well if you don't care about the S pen, then there is no reason to pick any note over a Galaxy series phone nowadays.

 

[mountainman]

No reason... has a hole in the screen.

 

[sulla1965]

Well if the s10 has a hole, you can expect the same with the Note 10.

If they make it with a higher screen brightness than the S9 I’m sold. Need a bright screen to fly my drone in sunlight.

Supprised you haven't looked at a small tablet.

It’s not about the size but about the visibility in sunlight.

 

[cardboard60]

With a tablet, you got to make a cardboard sun shield.

You can do that with a phone as well ( better to buy one) but it’s still doesn’t prevent the sun hitting the screen from every angle.
