Alien , 22 Nov 2018What's the point of keeping the software if I never use the hardware? it's just a battery hog ... moretake Nokia with flashlight than.
Realistic1, 20 Nov 2018So now you have a phone full of hardware that you cannot use. IMO erasing bluetooth and NFC is... moreWhat's the point of keeping the software if I never use the hardware? it's just a battery hog from my point of view.
I mean I never use Bluetooth, NFC, Bixby, location, I don't want to use the fingerprint sensor or the iris (both are covered with stickers) and the list goes on.
Pure junk from my point of view. I'd rather have a secondary SD card slot or a infrared camera. That would be awesome!
Right now I plan on hard resetting the phone and start from scratch with debloating it.
Maybe I'll make a comprehensive xls and a small automated script file and post them on XDA :)
I went with S8+ because it had the SD card slot, the 3.5mm jack AND I can root it whenever I want. But my next phone will probably be a Sony (most reliable in terms of software updates and durability).
Not everyone is a default user..
I really hope this will be a good thing. Phones are so unbelievably boring now, almost all the are the same black slates with little to no differentiation both hardware and software wise. I hope with the flat display and flexible double screens we can finally see some much needed innovation after all these years.
Flat display and wide camera - that's I've benn waiting on Samsung for years!
The best implementation of the curved screen was on the LG g flex
What Samsung has to keep in mind are the rising prices it keeps introducing with all it's models. The competition from China are offering cheaper phones with near enough specs as the Samsung Galaxy models. Going to the 1000 euro price range is ridiculous. See what is happening with the Google and iPhone hardliners. They are going for other phones which are nearly as good as and with half the price! Samsung wake up!!

handyfan, 20 Nov 2018I think that Samsung can win back customers if they bring out a flagship with a flat screen. N... moreVery true, which might explain 'in part' why the s7/s7 edge did so well
Flat S10 looks like the only upcoming contender to me in terms of giving up my S7. Other than (to me) unwanted curved screen Samsung S9/S10, all the other phones of similar size are midrange or lower, and lack wireless charging, USB 3.1, etc. Rumor is 128GB, hoping 256 or even 512 are options to pair with my 400GB SD card.. Headphone jack inclusion is a big deal to me, bluetooth can't match wired for sound quality, & clunky USB-C adapters are ridiculous.
Anonymous, 20 Nov 2018What, having a personal preference is 'irrational'?!If it's for an argument that isn't an issue, yes. That is literally the definition of being irrational. There are arguments against curved edge screen. How it works with a pen isn't one of them.

Anonymous, 20 Nov 2018The last IR with Samsung flahships were in S5 and Note 4. I don't know about all versions, but the GS6 model SM-G920W8 definitely had an IR blaster.
If they flatten it and them bring a notch/hole and/or remove headphone jack it would be the biggest L by samsung ever
Anonymous, 20 Nov 2018he did not say there's something wrong with curved screen and pens, he just don't like itThat's the point, isn't it? It's an irrational complaint. :)

Realistic1, 20 Nov 2018Yeah, sadly they decided to be stubborn. And by still buying their product I'd be patronizing ... moreDo whatever feels good for you. Real. I am the LAST person to influate what you'll get~
