Design needs to be revamped, it's getting old... but hey, at least no notch!

How very 2017.

No notch?
Woohoo!!!

No notch?
Woohoo!!!

With all the Samsung ads running now that mock the notch (notch hair-do guy even has a notch-hairdo baby now!), it'd be a pretty dumb move if they included it on the next flagship.

It would be awesome if the cameras stayed horizontal but I don't think this is correct.

Well... they mocked the wall huggers because Samsung replaceable phone batteries...

No, that was because iPhones were, up until then, pretty bad with ON-TIME battery (they've always been stellar with standby). And to this day, even though they've improved a lot, take a look next time you're at an airport or Starbucks... for some reason the ones always plugged in are mostly iUsers

BUT if they are going to add a notch, common sense would have dictated the mocking ads would stop with a few months to spare before they join the trend... but they just released NEW ads mocking it. So not likely (and most leaks point to that) having a notch on the Note. S10, who knows.

They're keeping that for the Note 10 ;-)

Agree. Need something different.

Lmao don't jinx us lol. Apple can keep that all to themselves

Looks exactly like the Note 8. Now I'm curious to see what the Galaxy S10 is going to look like because if it uses the same design language as the S8 and S9 will there be an outcry like there has been towards Apple for using pretty much the same design for the iPhone 6 to the 8? Probably not as it seems Samsung gets a pass for pretty much everything.

 

[Nakrohtap]

How much can you really change the design? Basically, we're moving towards a full screen display. What more can be done except upgrading the processor, display panels and cameras? I know people want change for the sake of change. But, what's next that people want to see in a new phone?

That's exactly what I was thinking. Like what design are you going for? It's a phone not a car. Changing to flat screen seems to be a step in the past, changing from glass to aluminum disables the wireless charging feature...

Sometimes it's better to live in the past. My wife loves the Note line, but hates the curved screens and fragile glass bodies. I hate them too, but I'm not a Samsung fan for other reasons. We'll take a durable phone with a good display over a pretty phone with a distorted display (the curves) any day.

Yea I understand that. I could give it take the curves myself.

I'm with your wife, and agree completely on all points. different and new isn't always better

Even if the S10 looks like an S8 it will be only the 3rd year of that design.

Meanwhile the iPhone 8 is the 4th year with that design, and the iPhone SE is still selling with the 6 year old iPhone 5 design.

No distortion on my note 8s curves at all. I love the infinity display.
