Hole is way much better than massive notch on the front. It is not a best solution but definitely not bad. https://m.gsmarena.com/samsungs_market_share_surges_while_north_american_smartphone_market_reaches_fiveyear_low-news-36974.php plus according to this S10+ and S10e one of the best selling smartphones in USA, so go figure how failure is S10 :)

    Vegetaholic, 29 May 2019How S10 is a flop can you explain me?is a flop, cause people want more of sammy, not the almost the same as S9, even people have complained before S10 was out that nobody wants a hole in the display...they keep doing as they want...

    you will see the Q2 results from sammy soon, and you will see sales drop because of S10 series. Even more cause Fold is even more a big big flop, and maybe S10 should be the Fold and not what they are now.

      AnonD-241270, 07 May 2019of course, Galaxy Fold was not a finished product, so...why... moreHow S10 is a flop can you explain me?

        The way you said it i wonder why Samsung galaxy fold wasnt created 20-30 years ago.
        You compare something which is not comparable because back in that time there werent technology to create something like that.
        Othervise we wouldnt have an ocean filled with plastic of size of US Texas.

          If Samsung fold was the very first foldable phone i would say its forst but folding phones were here 20 years ago.
          Even nintendo made a folding console before 2000.

            And the first income did not revolutionize or smartphone world. Even the name was stolen. They just hopped on the smartphone bandwagon realizing where it was going and helped popularize a few things.

It's like it is 10 generations behind. Such products should be killed at the design stage, never even reach production. One sees a prototype and *immediately* fires the people responsible.

                      Steve Jobs was a monster of a person but knew how swiftly you should act in cases like this. In 2005 they designed an iPhone which was really, really bad. Steve Jobs asked to look at it, and upon seeing it a rage unlike any other took over him. He fired the team and made sure that they never find work anywhere ever again. He basically destroyed their lives, forced a lot of them to switch states, even go overseas to find work because US was not to welcome to them. Steve Jobs *burnt* them.

                      And *that* is what created the first iPhone and hencefore the mobile revolution that we still experience. It was not the making of a genius, it was the making of fear. Brought upon them the rage that took over Steve Jobs. Everybody since would reminiscence what happened to the original iPhone team (basically decimated, their lives and their families destroyed) and made sure to not the next ones sentenced to the worst life imaginable. Getting a job with Apple used to mean risking *everything* in the old days. Nothing of the rainbow s*** we get these days.

                      A Steve Jobs figure is sorely missed from this space. Old school, stern, unrelenting, vengeful...

                      If such a person existed in Samsung this product would had never got put mof the design phase, the team's lives destroyed. A warning to the rest ...

                        There is a thin line between wanting to innovate and wanting to be the first in something just to take all the praises. It's up to each of you to think where Samsung stood in all this.

It is impossible to read , watch media with a freaking bezels going through the screen. No wonder Kyocera is such a failure of a company.

                                    Thank god that modern foldables look nothing like that. Mate X looks practical even...
