Amazed more don't get it. They are selling to people that bought in 2016, anyone that buys from 2017, is a bonus.

Competition is fierce, and will not forgive.
Denis Thomas, 10 Aug 2018What an "explosive" story!
It will "burn" the competition.It's on fire!!

There will essentially be so little change after 1 year that justify upgrading mid contract or buying the very latest phone the following year.
Phones especially flagship can be held longer, indeed unless there is significant changes in 2 years to pay flagship priced just for the upgrade.
There are tradeoffs that have been made, non user changeable batteries, waterproofing bigger batteries, faster charge, and the need to now carry a charging cable
There is only 2 Operating Systems so very little diversity between manufacturers, a feature in say Android Oreo is "available" to all Android Oreo phones

The next significant feature will be the Note 10 will be 5G capable.
Apparently Spen is manufactured to tolerance 1/100th mm !
Awesome ;-)
Finally full size photos in one click instead of that clunky gallery!!!
Though I don't miss much with Note 9 as such, I have Now 8 which she to be meeting my needs but I have to say that with Samsung going this way, I may feel tempted to try some other brand if they bring stylus or spen in my region. S Pen is the only differentiator according to me. Not worth upgrade from Now 8. Bigger battery is good but otherwise very minor upgrade. I don't complain as such since note 8 itself is a very close to perfection mobile device.
Samsung needed one year to increase the battery for the same note8 and to change the fingerprint sensor. And they want £1000 for that. I don't think anyone who has note8 will change it to note9. No wonder that Samsung's sales depreciated with 7%

I'll wait for the next Note when samsung plans to release along with their in-house GPU that they just recently announced the newly formed division in the future.

I am curious what they can do with the S10/Galaxy X/Note 10... If it's not freaking blowing our minds away, Samsung is bone for, and will lose some significant market share.
Selfie camera under the display would be a smart point to start with.
Josh CR , 09 Aug 2018Oh Oh cool XD
I spect to see a lot of implementation from app to thisCheck out YouTube with MKBHD and MrMobile for more info!
What's cool is that you can control the camera the same way with the phone! Tap remote features are the best on the S Pen.
Geric.770, 09 Aug 2018No dude. XD
The remote thingy is used only for remote commands.Oh Oh cool XD
