    Looking at how inaccurate the fingerprint reader seems to be on the Nex S, I can sort of understand why Samsung isn't willing to risk its flagship brand name on it.

Your experience will not be the same as others, as some may have had a bad experience like you, or will quite like their experience. Besides, the S9 has fixed the problem, as shown by the long term review, and it'll get even better when Crown UX becomes the UI for the next Samsung devices starting from the Note 9.

                Imperator Neubaticus, 29 Jun 2018If the galaxy x will come with an s pen then i might seriou... moreLOL, then you'll have to wait another year for Galaxy Note X (10) to be released. Better go with this one.

                  My last note series was Galaxy note 5......I skipped note 8 due its smaller battery.....For me note 9 will be welcome....Stereo speaker like s9+,4000mah larger battery...Because I am a fan of AMOLED screens....

                      The only malware I've disabled on my phone are the ones coming from Facebook. Something anyone sensible ought to do on any phone.

                        AnonD-762416, 29 Jun 2018I have an S7 it does not lag. Never. And it's two years old... moreTry to disable all the 90+ bloatware on the s7, and you will see how smooth it can be ;-) it can almost follow op5 in lag free and smoothness. The camera on s7 is better though.

                                  .alpha, 29 Jun 2018Same phone as last year. Slightly faster SoC and nothing elseThats not true, bigger battery, improved camera, new ram and storage options, slimmer bezel, refined s pen, improved oled panel, new SoC, new colour options, refined biometrics and placement, this is a refinement of an already solid phone, that being said, if you own the note 8 like I do, then note 9 isnt really a worthy upgrade. I will hold out for note 10 instead or foldable galaxy if its any good :-)

                                      Luvin the news about the battery. I won't buy the note 9 but these leaked if true make me very optimistic as regards to the launch of the S10 and what it will bring to the table.

                                      I think the cosmetic designs of the note and the S models are fab, I'm not looking for any major design changes, I think they are great....

                                      I raise a glass in anticipation of the launch.

                                      Bring it on, start the fanfare and roll out the red carpet :)
