I just don't see why they decided to go with this configuration for a phone. It isn't good in my opinion as there is not really any reason to upgrade from my current note 9. It doesn't DO anything that my previous phone can't. Dex is a great feature I use often, but my 9 can do it. I like having an SD card capable phone, but since I started self hosting my data I place less of a premium on it. But for the insane price they're asking and the thought of upgrading to a phone that doesn't have one just because irks me. Same for the headphone jack even though I own a set of bluetooth headphones, but I'd make concessions if the phone did more.
Samsung has always made gimmicky phones and still does. Christ look at their folding abominations they're so proud of. I can still remember my note 3 having commercials where you could scroll with your chin, and it would pause videos if you looked away. I used those features a couple times, realized they were half baked, and never touched them again. Samsung wisely removed them but they served their purpose in generating hype, something today's Samsung designers could learn a lesson in regarding their standard cell phones. Another half baked trent in newer Samsung phones is the under display fingerprint reader. Why can't we just have standard fingerprint readers like my note 9, or even the brand new Fold 3? In my opinion those need to go the way of chin scrolling. What wasn't half baked about my note 3, and subsequent note 4? The IR blaster that allowed me to control TV's, VCR's, and DVR's with a simple set up. That was not a feature I was thrilled about losing on my note 9, but DEX made up for it.
Another feature my note 4 and note 9 have is the pulse oximeter that integrates into the samsung health app. I use those for my heart rate frequently. Why would I pay 1300 USD for a base model of an Ultra phone for the privilege of then having to buy a bulky watch that I can't even wear in my work place, or have to charge and maintain separately, just to have something my old phone came with? Again, I think the watches are yet another Samsung gimmick, but they have their place for sure. Just not when they are an excuse to carve features out of phones.
My note 3 had issues with overheating, my note 4 did not, and luckly my note 9 runs great even when I'm using dex heavily. The SD 888 is a joke in terms of performance, efficiency, and most importantly: thermally. And from the initial reviews I've seen of the SD 8 abomination 1, things are worse. The motorola that shipped with the awful chipset sucked power and heated the phone past "uncomfortable" to "burns the user" in tests (I've never held or used the phone so I have to take their word). To add insult to injury, when the phone wasn't throttling, the performance improvements for sucking on average more power and creating extreme amounts of heat was a marginal improvement on performance over the 888. This phone will likely only be offered in the SD 8G1 variant in my region and it will have the same issues, and likely will have gimps to performance to make power draw and thermals manageable, but the issue still stands: how is that an improvement over a phone like the note 9/s9, or even the note 20/ s10/ 20 phones? If I can record 8k/ 4k 60fps footage, but have to do so in an air conditioned room and for a short duration before thermals impact my phone's performance, what's the point really? My note 9 will record 4k footage outside until either the battery dies, or it runs out of space as I'm sure most other contemporary phones from that time period, across multiple brands, would do also.
In my opinion Samsung is writing itself into a corner with releases like this and I am disappointed with the rumors thusfar.

It's really unfortunate all the people in my department have decided not to continue with Galaxy phones that 17 phones that won't be purchased just because they don't have SD slots , or a place to put in a head Phone Jack

I definitely will refuse to be a second hand customer, buying the same phone but with the Exinox processor!
It is unfair and definitely it is discriminatory especially because the phone will be sold under the same name! It is shameful!!!

Actually I hoped to buy a new "Galaxy Note", but I am very disappointed, and definitely will buy a difrent brand flagship, and like me will buy a lot of disappointed people, bored by the old and ugly design and the unfair politics regarding the Exinox and Snapdragon processors, and even the downsizing of the cameras despite Samsung are boasts about the superior camera features. Come on guys!!! Really???

It is just unfair to to have difrent processors related regions! What is this? It is absolutely outrageous! Actually it is an inadmissible discrimination!
Otherwise the same ugly and boring design for the third generation, it is quite hilarious!
Another bad approach is to use the 10 megapixeles cameras! Come one, after were used 12 megapixeles camera to operate a downsizing is absolutely a stupid idea and definitely will affect the Samsung Galaxy 22 market share.

Darknoor, 18 Jan 2022As long as people buy these, we will be scammed because no ... moreI agree. It's quite annoying the way things been. Removing headphone jack and sd card slot. Aren't smartphones just mini computers yet we don't even have the same common features a computer has. I also wish they would bump up the screen resolution.
Glad the battery is up a lot but hope 120fps doesn't drain a lot. Also I could care less about the camera cause it's not too used by me but other features could be improved instead of that. Wonder if my favorite underdog headphone jack will ever return. Though maybe i'm just used to it as I never had a phone without one yet. Will wait to see when the phone releases for full specs anyways.

For gamer who play heavy games. I mean the issue is just heat right?🙄🙄

Enola, 16 Jan 2022US/China get SDragon... Rest of the world gets exynos again? I think, more countries will get Snapdragon this time. Although, it will still have 2 versions - one with Exynos and the other with Snapdragon. But still because of shortage of semiconductors, Samsung might give Snapdragon to more countries this time.

ASBOST, 08 Jan 2022I tend to buy the latest Samsung phone each year and curren... moreI totally agree with you, I start skipping years since the note 8, cause there's no point in upgrade every year, since phone now days get software support for more than 2 years, and the hardware upgrades aren't gonna make a difference if you already got the S21 last year. I got the note 8, then the 10+ and now I'm gonna upgrade to the S22 Ultra after 2 years and a half, with mayor phone carriers it takes you 2 years to payoff the phone, that's the best way to keep upgrading, and of course use the trading benefit, to pay less.

LOL, 14 Jan 2022Does it really have FM radio?I'm pretty sure what they mean, is that the chip is capable of, but if it's a feature that samsung will allow the phone to use, that's another thing, this snapdragon, if you look for the presentation is capable of a lots of things, the problem is that samsung release the chip full potencial.

Based on the leaks, this phone will use A32 design combined with 2017 like Sony's Xperia phone.
That's funny.
