Note 8 to iPhone X?

[recDNA]

I would absolutely hate doing that lol. It takes me minimum 3-5hrs to get my phone setup just right! Once a yr at most is enough for me! Lol

Agreed. It's exciting to get a new phone so I don't mind much but hard resetting after every update is for the birds. Too much work for me. I have no doubt Android phones need a reset once a year and PC could use one as well but too much of a pita for me. I'd rather buy new ones!

I reset my Android about once a quarter. Yes, it is a pain in the @$$ but I like that fresh, new car smell!!

If they pumped out that new phone smell I would do it! New phones have a distinctive smell different but as exciting as a new car. New phones smell like new laptops.

This is probably a foolish question to ask on this forum, but are any Note 8 users taking the plunge on an iPhone X? I have two lines and I think I may bite the bullet and pre-order one tonight.

You gotta be kidding.

Note 8 is better

I got an iPhone 8 plus last night, coming from SE, its a huge upgrade. With my S8, its a solid combo for daily use.

I have a note 8 wife has an iPhone X honestly it's a great phone. The size is good especially for one handed use. The camera is awesome. The iphone X is everything I wanted in an iPhone except I don't like ios that much just way to limiting and boring for me. Some apps may be better on ios. I was hoping that Apple would take the chance to update the launchpad with the x. They didn't and now I am back in Android with a note 8 loving life. It really depends on what you want in your phone. If you could live with slower updates but in return you get so many more options go with a note other than that both are awesome choices and you can't go wrong with either.

iPhone X is better to pocket carry. In every other way I prefer Note 8. Would love to own both. Won't spend retail for either.

As a fan of both platforms I have the iPhone 10 256gb an love it. Had the note 8 for a week it’s a better phone overall no debate there. I just didn’t like the fingerprint scanner on the back was to tall for my liking an I have slightly larger than normal hands an not comfortable in my pocket for daily use. Returned for the 10 I got what I call my dream iPhone with a Samsung display an other features android has had for several years. Is it a great phone nah I don’t think so but a darn good phone but the price Samsung is a better choice. I happen to enjoy the Face ID I have no issues with it but looking forward to the note 9. An the note 7 was my favorite phone of all time next to the 4.

I got an iPhone 8 (same old design as 4 yrs ago, relic), while waiting for X and for Note 8. Thought it'd be nice as just a music player / phone to fit in my pocket. But iOS just killed it.

The X is about same size as Galaxy S8 yet weighs as much as my S8+. (The Essential is also heavy for its size).

I figure my Note 8 today is... iPhone X Plus. Twice the memory Apple uses.

And yes I'll be in line for Note 9 next year at this time!

The iPhone X and note 8 are both incredible devices, base your decision on ecosystem - both have outstanding hardware and run smoothly.

Ecosystem. It boils down to that. I have kids under 5 but smart enough to slide that answer button on their iPad for Facetime. Other comparable android apps won’t be that simple for their age.

You are letting a 4 year old do FaceTime by themselves?

My 2 year old granddaughter can navigate an Amazon Fire tablet by herself, Android can be just as easy to use.

Yep. They facetime to me or their mom. That’s it.

You don't have to "buy" it - but I buy / sell / trade all the time. I have already had the iPhone 8 plus twice , note 8 twice and iPhone 8 once since they have come out - for instance.

I have a note 8 I will gladly trade for an iPhone

 

[magichoward]

And why can't Samsung support the note 8 as long as iPhone X... 2 years verse 4 years plus... That's one reason iphones keep there values

 

[o4liberty]

I have both devices and each has its pluses and minuses with the note being the more powerful device. The size of the x is better though.

Your 4 year old iPhone struggles and can’t be used with current iOS. The 6S Plus should but stressing. Most all the shipped models had battery issues. I had two.

Apple is slow at including 4GB except their Pro iPad.

In two years Google will have us on 64-bit and have to to support more than 4GB memory, changes from Project Treble.

I did. So I regret it? Sometimes. I like iMessage with my family and friends. And it’s just easier to send pictures and videos with it. But I do miss my note 8. I am looking to replace my work phone s7 edge with either note 8 or s9 plus. So that’ll help.

Sorry but this is not true. We had iPhone 5se running the latest o/s. And it ran fine without any issues. Apple doesn’t need memory as long as their o/s is well optimized and they have proven that.
