Will you buy the s9 or stick with the Note 8?

I hope to get at least 2 years if not more out of my note as long as the battery lasts.

I will keep the Note 8 til Note 10. I honestly hope they don't go back to flat screen. The whole infinity experience looks so much better on the edge screen!

I'll probably wait till the note 9 comes out. I have a S8+ for now. Hoping the Note 9 has any upcoming camera bugs worked out, better dual cameras and finger print scanner on the from of the screen. But I guess we'll have to wait to next year and see what happens.

 

[CTREV21]

This!

Personally, I think the "flat screened phone" ship has sailed for Samsung. It's time to move on. I can't picture a bigger phone at this point either.
I don't know where the flat screen rumors originated. But, I do recall a story a couple of months ago about Samsung ordering the same exact sized display sizes for the 2018 lineup.

Stick with note8 definitely, 1st time note user but loving it and the s pen, so will definitely wait for the next note

I would have skipped the S8+ if the Note 7 mess had not happened. I am all about the Note and the Note 5 was a good (still very usable device even today) but it lacked some things I wanted. I most likely will pass on the S9 in favor of the next Note.

Cheers,

I have to laugh here. S8 plus users got chewed out when they said the note 8 is a s8 plus with a s pen. And your saying the s9 will be a note 8 without a s pen. Too funny.

Well there are physical similarities but it has its own wow factor and until you've had both you cannot compare the two. Just because they are "wrapped" the same doesn't meant the contents are the same. I frankly was getting tired of hearing they were the same, "why are you wasting your money", you have a S8+ is the same phone but just has the S Pen, that is so stupid"! And I did hear that a lot. I replied to them that if we wanted to get into how they spend their money then we can do that, otherwise let's not go there.... I haven't heard another word.

I have used all the galaxy S from S2 till the s7 Edge. I have bought the Note8 and all has changed. In my job I use a lot of notes. Today I have take some notes with the Spen and it is marvellous. This mobile is different. It works fine and very quick. Very Interesting for bussines people. I would not change to other mobile untill see something different. I have write this message with the Spen writing the words. It's Incredible.

Samsung may skip the 9 and go straight to the SX. And Note X. Of course we saw what happened when they skipped the Note 6.

 

[durandetto]

If they introduce some new exciting features in the s9+ I'll consider using JOD to switch then switch to the note 9.

 

[RSindian]

I'm sticking with this Note 8 and then upgade to a Note 9 when it comes out next year.

 

[SilverEagle7210]

No, and if the Note 9 doesn't have features that add value to my life, I'll stick with the Note 8 till they come out with another one with features I both need and use. I no longer upgrade just because it's the new one, new doesn't necessarily mean better for me.

I don't see any other phone but one with a stylus as an option. When they took my Note 7, (actually they just disabled it so I had to turn it in) I would have chosen an S7 or the Apple phone if it was better than my old Note. Those of us that use the S-pen several times a day are not understood by those that don't use the pen. They see it as just a phone. But I depend on the Note for business. It's nice to be able to fill out and sign contracts directly on the screen. Also I can annotate or mark out parts of the contract I disagree with, or make notes directly on other documents.

Also I prefer using the pen to take notes, everything from what I need at a store, to notes during a meeting. Gotta have that pen!

Wait for the note 9 have a s8 plus an note 8 I'm good for now

 

[LegalAmerican]

After the Note 7 fiasco, I downgraded big time to the Note 4 and held out for an entire YEAR for this Note 8 to come out. There's not a freaking chance I would give up the Note for some S-series device. There really isn't anything they could do to convince me to jump from the Note to the S line. Of course, this thread is obviously aimed at the people who do not use the Note like a Note and never use the S pen for actual productivity. Because no one who does that would even consider the S devices this far out from any official release or even reliable leaks.

 

[eshropshire]

I buy new phones about every 2 to 2.5 years. So no I will not be buying a s9.

That said, if the Note 9 has a flat screen I might upgrade. The curved screen is the only thing I dislike on my Note 8.

 

[Auronda40]

I'm sure I'll keep this until Note 10 unless............ the next Note is foldable like some rumors I've seen. What do you guys make of a foldable Note? What would that be like lol?! Kinda interesting!

 

[cwbcpa]

I would have kept the Note 7 if I could have. I'll keep the Note 8 until the next one at least.

I think I will stick with my Note 8. Only 4GB ram? Only advantage is front finger print sensor. I see no reason why someone with the Note 8 would upgrade to the S9 Plus. It will have only 4gb ram, same dual camera probably as the Note 8 as well.

Jump to the 9 without thinking
