Why wait?

[Jax112]

Is there any legitimate reason for me to wait before buying the note 9. For instance Black Friday sale or possibly a price reduction when other phones hit the market like the new iPhone or the new Pixel?

personal preference really.
I have a Note 8 and I'm waiting for black friday and cyber monday to see if I'll be able to get the 512gb/8gb ram version for less than 1k Euro.
If I was upgrading from something older than the note 8 I probably would have got one already

I'm sorry I should have mentioned that I have a note 8. I'm afraid if I wait too much longer the value of the Note 8 on trade-in will be much less

With new phones coming, the value will probably go down. My Note 8 isn't paid off, so I'm also waiting to find sales that might work for me or when I finally just walk into tmobile for some shopping therapy (shoes aren't my thing).

Unless you know your carrier offers sales regularly, then I would keep an eye out for the best you can get and go for it.

You can always wait to see if a deal rolls in - like Back to School, Black Friday, Christmas, etc - but it's really up to you! Do what feels right!

Should sell the Note 8 outright. You're bound to get more than on trade in.

And there definitely should be some specials coming up on the note 9 for black Friday etc. Retailers likely to offer some deals though depends on carrier you use. Tmobile doesnt ha e deals theough retailers but sprint, Verizon, att do

If you have the patience to wait, for sure there will be great deals come holiday season. I'm guessing you can easily save at least couple hundred bucks in some kind of sale. It's always been like that, you are paying full price at launch, and always have more deals as months pass by and sales tend to flatten up a bit. Just look at S9 or past phones trend and there always have been great deals as every month goes by.

Personally, zero patience and want it day one

I have the Pixel 2 XL and I am waiting for two reasons. 1. Sales 2. Official Pixel 3 announcement. Most likely going to pick up the Note 9, but you never know what Google has up it's sleeve.

Note 9 will have a great sale on 9-10 or 9-11..... LOLOLOL

Will there be a sale on the Note 9 by black friday? From history -- yes.

I'm thinking your just looking to feel validated if you decide to get it. Just decide for yourself. No-one can predict what will happen. If you want it, get it. No need to over complicate it.

Wait for the in store gift card deals. Our you buying on carrier financing or not? That makes a huge difference.

Any sale that's not a BOGO FREE with a new line of service?

Probably highly depends where you're looking. Various retailers, In store carrier, online carrier.

My wife and I plan to take advantage of the bogo deal at Sams Club tomorrow. Plus we each get a $200 gift card as well. Not a bad deal.

There are deals at Best Buy a lot but not for T-Mobile.

I waited last year and picked up the Note 8 in mid October for $250 off plus a free Samsung wireless fast charger. I'm hoping for something similar this year. There will be deals almost every week. It's just a matter of deciding when to pull the trigger. There is always a risk that a better deal is around the corner.

I am passing my Note 8 on to my son so I'm not worried about trade in value. I usually sell my old phones anyway. I can't let someone else profit off my phone. Lol.

 

[Jax112]

Well I did it. Got it today at Best Buy. Now what to do with all the cases and battery packs that fit the N8. Any suggestions

I doubt it. After Apple announces the prices of the iPhone XS, Samsung will probably be able to raise theirs
