Lol I do not miss the physical home button.

I've gotten so used to not having one that I get confused when I'm dealing with someone else's phone that has it.

Lmao that is funny I think if I went back to a physical home button I'll be holding my finger on botton like I do with note8 like "hey *****...just press on the button"

I'd love if the Note 9 design was just like the Note 7 only with slightly larger screen, and of course 6 or 8gb ram. The phone felt amazing in the hand with a case on it and I preferred the screen shape overall compared to the Note 8.

So, you prefer the fingerprint reader in the home button, as opposed to on the back?
I agree that the phone felt amazing as well...at the time. The Note8 is so much better than the Note7. I think nostalgia clouds your perception. Things aren't always as good as as you remember them.

I definately prefer the fps on the front instead of the back. I know we won't see that until they get it working under the screen though, because the trend is towards minimal bezel as possible. I also preferred 16/9 screen ratio. To each his own. Obviously we evaluate our choice based on a variety of things across a wide range of offerings. It's a collection of compromises and how we weigh them. There is no phone that gives me everything just how I would like it. I am glad to see the Note 9 going with 4000mah. That's something I have been vocal about, and carries a lot of weight in my want list.

The only thing worrying me right now is the camera. The design choices on the S9 are causing a disappointing (to my eyes) softness. I hope they fine tune that setup for the Note. I actually prefer the pictures I get on my Note 8 to what I have seen from the S9.
