The Galaxy Note 8 (2017 edition)

[deathst]

This note 8 is also a "rush" product.

Still say wanna take own sweet time to make sure QC no problem.

In the end Aug keynote and before early to mid sept release.

Those who kena note 7 saga and still buy this on day one release u are truly Samsung fan boy supporter.

You obviously do not understand how products are being made or the timeline of efficient product generation. Production does not start exactly after keynotes/announcements... Companies do not do that, products are already final, tested and in production quite a duration before announcements. In-fact, the designing and sourcing for parts for the future S9 and Note may have already started. In-fact I can strongly believe FW testing is on going right now in Samsung HQ in korea with at least afew test/show-room/pre-live production models already in SG office. The Note 8 in parts somewhere in an assembly factory as the parts are already final and produced for assembly awhile ago.

Then why did the Note 7 thing happen? Cause they were pushing boundaries in battery tech a little too far that the people making the batteries might have created it in a sub-optimized assembly process that created variations of tension and exposed electrodes due to insufficient insulation tape. Battery tech is our limiting factor at the moment, there is still no good way to push so much power into smaller and slimmer factors.

Where did you get your source?

 

[fortunecat]

And it's gonna be priced at 1.2k at least woohoo!

S8+ is already $1298? Should be $13XX at the very minimum, no way can be cheaper than S8+

How come they directly convert from Euro?

S8+ would be ~$1400 if they did the same.

The SGD1550 is i think MSRP (manufacturer's suggested retail price). So the actual price should not be too far off from the MSRP.

It has been suggested that the Note8 is the most expensive flagship phone from Samsung to-date. So i will not be surprised if the actual retail price is around SGD1.5k. I predict at least SGD1.4k cheapest.

We shall see in a few week's time.

Close to $1400 is likely, 1550 is just overboard. Hope Samsung dun think it's status is same as Apple.

The price is about the same as iPhone but the hardware specs are much better than iPhone.... so is more justifiable to buy Note8 than iPhone, spec-wise... hehehe.....

 

[fortunecat]

Not more worth because iPhone got higher resale value.

 

[runforyourlife]

Probably trying to recoup the losses from note7

But they might have been ready way earlier since they are expecting an iPhone anniversary phone this year. Not really "rush" what. Besides, if they have good freebies during day 1, then if something wrong later, not like cannot get back refund but u still get to keep the freebies

Why? i played with my friend's V20 it's ok except that during camera manual mode there's something that make the screen purplish though i'm not sure if that's only her phone's problem lol but she can't be arse to go change. But overall, still doesn't feel right lol. Maybe i'm more use to Samsung but HTC and the then Nexus phone all are very comfortable to me, not the physical aspect but the OS experience.

LCD have very bad ghosting issue, LG UI is no where as refined as Samsung. No SPEN, the auto cam/video mode is as bad as it can be, only manual mode still ok but I just want to point and shoot.

Good luck, hope the OLED will be better than V20's LCD.
UI wise I doubt will be as good as Samsung but at least android OS version will be updated faster that Samsung.

If V30 fail, then I have to save up for Note 8....
Maybe I should look elsewhere like Sony.
