SpiritWolf, 08 Nov 2018Good luck with your 200 mAh batteries and 2mm 1/8" sensor c... moreLet's be real here, your 200 mah more batteries is not gonna affect anything in real life usage. Heck i'm 100% sure many people would not notice that tiny "more" battery. I'm not defending the 3,5mm but for the typical "future" wireless reason? Such a nice lie to the dumb masses. Many industries still using or maybe even relying on the 3,5mm such as laptops, DJ, music industries and others. Just keep the jack for the convenience of the others. It's always nice to have more features that STILL used rather than to throw it off for the sake of "future".

This is not an unpacked event. This is samsung developer conference. What part of developer conference dont you people get? It is a conference to develop idea further. Its more like a big meeting. Some of the ideas might be scrapped off. Some might be used for eventual release. Everything presented is under development.

Did Samsung has any notches during their days? No am I right? But after Apple introduced notches, Samsung is NOW putting notches onto their phones. So tell me, who is copying who?

But the comment he replied to is this "But apple made smartphone's before samsung does so whos the copycat here?". His point samsung was in game before. Not as much successful, absolutely. Is it something to brag about? I would say no. But that statement is wrong.

But how many of them can actually make their features shine and affect other mobile makers like Apple did? The moment Apple introduced notches to their IPX, all other android makers start to follow blindly. Just like the same for the missing 3.5mm headphones jacks now. Apple put FaceID on their IPX and now almost all smartphones are talking about IR face unlock etc etc. So, who are the bigger copycats here? I guess you know what I'm talking about.

travstr, 08 Nov 2018I really think some of you over-exaggerate notches... they ... moreI think some people have the problem with how apps react to notches... I had thought of notches since the time of nokia n8.. Not as a place for a camera but for the solo button it had at that time...i think i got the inspiration from a rainmeter theme
If the next note came with a notch I'd have to buy it..i need it for the s pen function for my daily work.. So that rules out all other options.. So.. To each his own

I was expecting to see news about the all new foldable smartphone, instead got my expectations lowered with the teasing of notches. Nobody wants a notch Samsung! Be the first international flagship to not have bezels instead of copying the worst design decisions from competitors who all copy Apple.
I really hope these notches come to only midrange Samsungs and the next galaxy s10 has either no bezels or smaller than current galaxy lineup has. Coming in almost two years late to notches looks like desperate move from Samsung to copy Huawei’s success of being a Apple design copycat. Long gone are the days when Samsung used to have the coolest technology.

I think for the notched screens will be on the midrangers but the new infinity will be for the 10th anniversary for the S series because I do believe Samsung wouldn't put the new infinity design there if they wanted to go for notches and these notches are water drop notches or at least look like them. The O infinity is the circle cut in the upper right or the left in the display and I saw it SID display on BOE's display and they said it's the future shape of notched phones
I hate to say it but the OEMs wants to do step by step to the free bezel displays and if it comes now it's cool but there is 2 solutions here,
1. The phones becomes notched until the developments of the camera and other senors under the display
2. The phones should have sliders how the Chinese OEMs did and until their development of everything under display.
I myself prefer the slider because it's gives the inside of the phone's a bigger space so the components doesn't get cramped and also you will avoid heat ups in the phone.
Now it's Sony's time to show the world the Acoustic Surface Audio with a slider phone because if that happens Sony will start to be the talk of the hour

Anonymous, 08 Nov 2018Which is something I love. Sony make great classic designs ... moreSony is also IRRELEVANT in the mobile space. A mere 1.6 million phones were sold last quarter.
For all we know, Xiaomi could have sold that many Pocophones within the span of 24 hours. Just ONE phone selling more than a megacorporation's entire portfolio...

Don't be a wall hog switch to samsung and replace your battery..
Get the fastest experience (anyone tried the actual j line and below?)
We don't like notches, we give you full display... I like that V and O design! it's not a notch it's a freakin' hole in the screen!
next year: no headphone jack.
And we all thought Zenfone 6 was stupid, now samsung plans to eat the whole cake!
