Dear Samsung:
I've been your customer for the last 4 years, however I'm not upgrading this year. Although the improvements are welcome, I couldn't find a strong enough reason to upgrade my Note 8. On top of that, you blew it with your ridiculous price scheme. It looks like you are deliberately going to put your Note series out of the price range most Android users are willing to pay, so the sales volumes become disappointing and you get a good reason to discontinue the series altogether.
See you next year!

    Geric.770, 09 Aug 2018Waiting for Mate 20 Pro to seriously compete a lot.Wait for your Mate 20. If you are living in States wait more. P10 Pro with Kirin 970 is on par with SD 835 last year cpu. New Kirin 980 will be on par with SD 845 this year cpu but this is too late for it. And if you think Huawei prices are better, you are wrong.

        So...
        Huawei fanboys from all over India show up on a Galaxy Note9 thread just to say Huawei Mate 20 (A phone that by the way hasn't been released yet.) is better.

        XD, funny people you are.

Do you know that it will look like a house brick if it have mil 810g and 5000mah? And guess who would complain when? People like you, and designed wise would be failure plus price would be insane. Note 9 camera is already smashing iPhone X in peaces in low light photography or in quality, so please give a break

              Someone Else, 09 Aug 2018What does the Mate 20 pro offers more for Mate 10 users??? ... moreJust a performance and camera bump. And price. XD
              Seriously, Mate 10 users should wait for a worthy upgrade for next few years.

                Best workaround phone on planet for sure, just price is atrocious as usual, not sure if it is worth it

                      Well sami you are looking at slow sales.

                      This is the mistake the note series suffers. Just a marginal increase in specks is not good enough.

                      You have to have

                      MILT STD 810 G

                      A camera way better than what Apple or any other phone has

                      6.5 screen

                      5000 MAh battery.

                          SoC and somewhat camera are about all the nate will have most likely

                            Whackcar, 09 Aug 2018I'm talking about people who are upgrading from last year's... moreWhat does the Mate 20 pro offers more for Mate 10 users???

                            FYI, literally everything changes from the Note8 to the Note9, except the design.

                            6.3" vs 6.4" display
                            Exynos 8895 vs Exynos 9810
                            6/64GB vs 6/128GB base configuration

                            Mono speaker vs Stereo speaker w/ Dolby Atmos

                            Regular S-Pen vs Bluetooth S-Pen

                            Regular slow mo vs Super slow mo (960 fps)
                            4k/30fps vs 4k/60fps
                            Bixby vs Bixby 2.0
                            Heart rate sensor vs blood pressure sensor

                              Someone Else, 09 Aug 2018The Note9 is an upgrade over the Note8, not the S9+And as the Note 8 was an S8 Plus with a stylus, the Note 9 is an S9 Plus.. With a stylus (more or less) ;)

                                Someone Else, 09 Aug 2018The Note9 is an upgrade over the Note8, not the S9+Well, in terms of price, it is a major major MAJOR upgrade over the S9+

Note 9 doesn't offer much to Note 8 users. On the other hand, Mate 20 Pro will offer a lot more to Mate 10 Pro users.

                                    As for whether Mate 20 Pro will be better than Note 9 or not, that we will find out once the device is officially announced with all the details.
