Samsung will not cross this senseless capacity anytime. I am also using A0 pro 2016 which is a flagship model from Samsung. But it quickly ditched it after knowing that it gained popularity over other models.

No movements, objects the software can "identify" and so on. It's good, but it's not the real thing. And yes, the Samsung camera has a wide _and_ a narrow aperture. One more mode than any other mobile camera on the market, giving it the right amount of light for two extreme settings, no matter whether the fake software fixes can guess a correction or not.

LG Superfan, 20 Aug 2018Variable aperture on professional cameras is useful not on ... moreWhen I started doing photography everything was manual on a camera. I know how useful a variable aperture is. Because a fixed aperture is only optimal for that one setting, daylight. Look at the iPhone night photos and you'll see what I mean. They are outright awful, because the phone has to extend the exposure creating dull edges and it still has to "close" the shutter long before it really has an image so they're also massively underexposed. It is not a minor thing. In a few years I expect smartphones will have even more advanced apertures allowing them to adjust for the specific amount of light the sensor prefers. And 20% more battery on a day is a big difference for anyone who'd previously struggled to make it to the end of the day. That is also an undeniable fact.

Anonymous, 20 Aug 2018if I have to spent such amount - will go for iPhone - why g... moreI agree with you 'That make no sense' to spend the same amount of money on the iPhone X when you get alot less everything, smaller screen, 64gb storage with no SD slot to expand memory, less battery, heck with the iP X you would have to fork out extra for a fast charger!
It depends on what price you can get it for in your country, here in the UK, the iP X is £999, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is £899 & there's deals to be had on trade ins, some that work out cheaper than the S9+ @ Car Phone Warehouse for example (always read the small print with any deal or contract,).
Btw there is no lag with the S9 models, and with my nearly 3 1/2 year old S6 the performance is like brand new & no bugs.
If you don't like the latest models then look @ older models (the Note 8 can be had for £550) or wait for price drops.
Whatever you buy know any disadvantages before you buy to avoid disappointment.

30 more minutes it is very very pessimistic.

Jack is ancient thing in present phones look... more1) Jack is usefull it does not look awkward its absent wont be missed but presence will be grateful (that my opinion)
2) SD card purpose is not only for increasing storage space its a great transfer tool too, you have a card in your phone just copy the files you want to share and give the card to other person he inserts in his phones copies the data to phone and give you back your card takes less than 2 minutes and you dont need to carry anything extra like USB and OTG cable and no worry if their is no internet connection
3) Just look at JerryRig video
4) I know Huawei is 2nd biggest OEM their phones are great but what I said about P20 Pro build quality is also true
5) €700 was usually initial offers, pre order discounts etc after that it retailed for $980 in my country and Note9 cost only $80 more for 128GB , better Spen and everything

they are always monitoring apple, they always mock apple and yet samsung never learns from the mistakes of apple. the main reason why the iphone x has poor sales its because of the PRICE and yet samsung went to the $1000 price range.
consumers should never buy phones that goes beyond $800-$850 range, that should tell those brand that we will not buy and give you our hard earn money for your overpriced phones. oneplus 6 prove that you can get decent performance and built for the price range of the oneplus 6, add a little more for the IP68, wireless charging, and some other top of the line feature which would justify the $850 price range

AnonD-731363, 19 Aug 2018Man you said tottaly stupid thing. Market works one way com... moreHere you come again. Every time Samsung or Apple release their flagships, you come trumpeting your ideology about how Chinese flagships are better and more worthy than these latest flagships. Go get a life. Samsung's Note series phones are always better options than many and in fact the BEST in productivity. Everyone knows here how great the said cheaper Chinese flagships are. All the phones you are mentioning costs less because they had cut costs somewhere or the other. Or they are small companies and have far less mouths to feed than Samsung and Apple. If you can't see where Xiaomis and Honors cut costs to price their flagship at 400-500 USD, then you are blind. You can't afford Samsung Galaxy S/Notes or iPhones, so all these cries about them being overpriced and inferior to all Chinese Tom, Dick and Harry.
