Note9 User, 31 Jan 2019I've just upgraded from S6 (now a backup), honestly to this... moreYour perception of lag is different then.. My S4, S6, S7 Edge, S9, Note 1, Note 2, and Note 3 all lagged.. I know i'm kind of slow at learning but I learned hard way :(

        BigDisplay, 31 Jan 2019No big surprise att all, and whole 2019 will be bad for Sam... moreI've just upgraded from S6 (now a backup), honestly to this day I've never experienced a slowdown, if I had I would've switched to Huawei or other.

          Anonymous, 31 Jan 2019The mid range and low end are to weak to any other company ... moreBecause there's more room in a low end phone. It's literally a SoC, two cameras and battery. Maybe a fingerprint sensor. The Note has pen, iris scanner, all sorts of sensors and external chips other than the SoC. Add the bigger size of speakers and feedback motor and something has to shrink inside the phone...

            I am guessing that the year has been bad for most smartphone makers with the exception of Huawei (one division only), Xiaom and maybe another smartphone maker. Of Samsung wants to continue to remain profitable and relevant, then it must keep conducting costumer surveys and polls and give customers what features and specs they want, and some more. And keep proces slightly lower.

              But why use bigger battery in low end than flagship also

                Now begin the downfall of Sammy , time will tell

                  BigDisplay, 31 Jan 2019No big surprise att all, and whole 2019 will be bad for Sam... moreFaster updates would be nice, but they better be stable, not like the Pixel and OnePlus.

                    No big surprise att all, and whole 2019 will be bad for Sammy to, unless they start setting their Apple prices down and stop being greedy, slowing their phones, giving faster updates etc. etc

                                I've used my S7 edge for almost 3 years. I've yet to see any new phones worth upgrading to and I can guarantee that I will never buy a phone with a notch or a hole on the screen.

                                  That's price ror insane prices without innovations. Apple and Samsung have to rethink all they do.

                                    Maybe is time to stop launching devices every year. The launch cycle should be 2 years.

                                        I'm sure things will get better with the overpriced S10.
