Note 9 similar to Note 8?

[debdroid1a]

Well if they want to compete with Huawei and Apple they better do better than just small upgrades, just look what happened with the iPhone X selling less than half of expected numbers and discontinued after a year

The X was totally different then any iPhone and iPhone users don't want different. That's why they buy iPhones.

That may be another reason NOT to change much. The X being different flopped. By the time the Note 10 comes out, it will be almost forgotten, just the like Note 7.

I kept my Note 5 for two years and it was fine. Depending on how my Note 8 performs at the release and what the Note 9 is will be my deciding factor

This bums me out. I was a note user until forced to give up my 7. I then got a Pixel XL which has turned it to be a very good phone. I didn't get the Note8 because it didn't seem like anything special. I also didn't go to the Pixel2, I was waiting on this Note9. Ugh! Now I find myself conflicted.

No Offense, but if you weren't addicted to the S-Pen, then there are a lot of other great options for phones with large screens nowadays without having to be bummed about the Note 9 rumors.
I'm excited about getting back to a phone with an S-Pen. The S9 plus is cool for me, but not enough.

As much as I want I need the S-Pen the reality is I hardly ever ever use it unless I make myself. Yet, I know he Note 9 will likely call me.

I love me an SPen but it turned out that I mostly used it to meme farm I might get one, I don't know yet. I haven't been excited about a phone since I got the N7. I truly loved that phone. We'll see.

I loved the Note 7 too. I liked the form of it more than the Note 8. Of course the Note 8 performs better but the overall feel in my hand and teh screen ration I liked better.

Note 7 was awesome. Hated having to give it up.

I think the Note7 was awesome at the time. Given the option now, I would definitely stick with the current version. I'm over the physical home button. I still have a Note 4 for work and it's awful.

If there was no battery issue, that year Samsung might surpass iphones!

Samsung sells more phones than Apple (worldwide).
IPhone dominates the US market.

The Note 7 was the best Note I've owned.

I loved my note 7. I still miss it but moved on of course. It was an awesome phone but note8 my best note. Now if I didn't have the note8 then I would definitely say note 7 was the best phone I've had

When I first got the Note 8 I liked it. Then the Bixby button started getting a lot of accidental pushes. It's just a little too long to me.

Disable it.

Disable it.

Can it be remapped to google instead?

Yeah I understand what you are saying. I have to hold my note8 with both hands most of the time. It kind of bothered me at first but i got used to it. And lol I've hit the Bixby button by accident a few times but haven't in awhile. I can see how it could a problem for some. Note9 is most likely going to have the same issue.

amen. miss it still. the Note 8 is great, but too thin and too long for me. every time I type a text I hit the right key but the wrong letter is displayed because the keyboard is so scrunched. the Note 7 was a little slice of heaven right here on earth... and only the good die young, right? ??????

Why so many like the Note 7 more than Note 8? The moment Note 8 ditched the physical home button, my love for Note 7 becomes zero lol

I loved the note 7 but love my note8 way more and I definitely do not miss the physical home button lol. Hopefully Samsung doesn't bring that back anytime soon.

I think people are being sentimental, like remembering old movies you haven't seen in years. Then, you watch it again and it's not as good as you remembered.
I loved the Note7 when it came out as well. I wouldn't want it today, though. IMO, everything is better on the Note8. I still have a 5.7" 16:9 on my Note 4 and it's awful. Yes, it's flat, too. Big deal. It also has a removable battery. Again...big deal. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. Phones evolve. The Note7 was no different.

I don't have a note 8 so I don't really care if the n 9 is similar. Im just ready to get my note back and I'm impatiently waiting on the 9. Announce it already so I can know when I can pre-order.Lol
