Note 10 INFO FOR NOTE 9 USERS

[berfles]

What makes you think all buyers can afford it?

Good point, sometimes I forget many people buy things they can't afford.

Nowhere near ready in what way, exactly?

It's a first generation device in the infancy of its design, if it even becomes a thing. The Galaxy Fold has a tiny screen when folded with giant bezels, when it's unfolded there's still a big cutout, it doesn't fold flat, the screens have to be made of plastic which means it's going to be a scratch magnet which is a joke for a 2000 dollar phone, probably can't use normal screen protectors because of the folding, and there is an obvious fold/wrinkle when you unfold the phone. That's going to be distracting as hell in my opinion.

The Huawei at least is a bezel-less design and has the smart idea of making the selfie camera utilize the rear camera instead so it can forego the main screen cutout, but the other issues are still there. Crappy plastic screen (that, on this one, is never protected when it's folded), obvious distortion/ripple in the center where it folds. I don't see a way they will ever fold flat because that would involve creasing the screen, so they're always going to be semi-clamshell. Not to mention the durability in general.

I just think it's a really stupid idea honestly. I mean in theory it's an awesome tech achievement, but for daily use? Completely stupid. People complain about the Note 9 size already, so now they're going to want to carry around a half inch thick phone instead that's still roughly the same length as the Note 9?

Agreed 100%. Never get a 1st generation of most new techs.. many times... 2nd gen much better. Screen folding... Let's see how many people have issues with screens after 1st month. Esp that Hawaei that has the screen exposed all the time. Scratch all the time I am assuming. I at least like the Samsung idea of hiding the main screen. Outside screen on fold should have no bezels or at least way smaller bezels. Make it a 5.5 inch screen and u folds to a 8 inch would be great to me. Just my thoughts tho!

I've been a Samsung user for a long time, but I think this is my last one. Tired of the slow software updates,but more importantly, I'm tired of the curved screen. Why can't they make the screen flat again? No need for the curve anymore.

Samsung has an S phone with a flat screen. Maybe look at that. Won't solve slow updates though.

On Note 9 the curve has been a lot less then previous, tell you the truth I sometimes think its flat with my case lol
Os updates are slow
Security updates are 1 month out from Google

I'm hoping that they don't ruin it like they have the S10

How so?

I'll sit back and wait for the note 10 to drop with the same amount of camera's or more and watch the comments of how great it is to have all these camera's, oh all the possibilities we have now. Lol

I've been getting security patches by the middle of the same month. I truly believe getting OS updates earlier (Pixels, Android One phones) is overrated. Seems to be, on a daily level, mainly for bragging rights.

As long we get the security patch shortly after pixel I'm fine.

I'll buy the Note 10 if it brings more to the table than my current Note 9 does and those extra features enhance my user experience.
