Why is the buzz so low?

[natehartey12]

there is no hype because the prices are going to be outrageous

 

[mundo472]

At the alleged prices I suppose most people are going to pass on this one and keep their old phones for another year.

Not being able to put a screen protector on without breaking the ultrasonic fingerprint reader might also have to do with it

I'm thinking you are on to something regarding pricing. It dampens one's enthusiasm to spend so much more for something that will be outclassed in 2 years (or at least in need of a new battery).

And... Things are picking up now that we are 2 weeks away from the announcement. I have to say I'm slightly impressed by the leaks.

I am just waiting for the S10 to be released so Samsung will drop the price of the S9+ and I can swap out my S6.

Buzz seems so low that even this thread has low traffic. The S9 series was lower than previous years, but this seems like half the traffic compared to the S9 forum before launch.

I know I can't believe how low the hype is on this board

The entire 2019 S series has leaked.
There's nothing to talk about until pre order day.

Rumor today is that the phone will ship with free Galaxy Pods if you pre-order. Curious if that will only be for the S10+ though. Definitely a great incentive for the phones if it's offered for all.

 

[tcdude]

My guess is that it will be offered all the variants

I'm curious about a screen protector too I read on this one site that this phone will come with a protector already on it which I doubt cause no one else has mentioned it yet. I always use a Zagg protector this girl at the mall kiosk puts it on for me so I will be upset if I can't have one.

From a case maker Armadillotek.com, they said they tested the SP on real phone, wo t work

I was wondering the same thing...I remember the S7 edge and S8Plus, these forums were on fire. The S10 is supposed to be showing Feb 20th and from what i hear pre-ordering starts there after. I have the S8plus, which I love, but I really want to upgrade to the S10plus, so many cool features that I like. I can't stop thinking about it really

 

[JHStewart1023]

I dont think I'll be upgrading to the 10 this year... the note is an awesome phone and for the price of the newer devices... I doubt they will have any improvements that will make me jump ship.

I know the buzz is really low this year compared to other years and it's the 10 anniversary, even if not everyone will upgrade people always would comment on these boards regardless

 

[racedog]

Frankly, not finding anything all that exciting, and Samsung seems to think their name on a phone is like 24k gold. We'll, it isn't and after years of buying Sammy phones I'll be looking at alot of other possibilities this year.

You also have to consider that the smartphone market has saturated and matured, even in the last year. Look around Android Central, name a new device where there is lots of buzz. You won't find one. Even the buzz around the latest iPhones is dead.

What are we suppose to be buzzing about exactly? The camera? The Oled screens? Samsung One UI? We've already experienced the best the smartphone world has to offer.

I agree with everything you are saying it's just something enthusiasts will usually chat about regardless of whether they are getting the phone or not, but like you said the buzz is low everywhere

Specifically the performance has gotten to the point of most folks not seeing a need to jump. Again, this is a key reason for fixed batteries. They essentially force a two year aggregate retirement curve.

The prices on the S10 will also be keeping people away. I'm hearing the model with the 12GB/1TB model will be $1500 in the US and the lower capacity model will be about $1300.

It's really time to start thinking about a 2 year upgrade cycle at those prices. I still have my Note 9 and S9+, plus a fully functioning Note 8 that I still enjoy using.

LOL... Anyone who thinks they need 12 gb of Ram and 1tb of storage deserves to pay 1500.

I would never commit that much to one phone. I would never fill half of that.
