Samsung Galaxy Note8 launches late September for nearly $900, 6GB RAM, 3300mAh Battery & MORE!

so many articles with so much different info, it is really hard to know what to believe. I guess we will really know when we really know.

 

If any of this info is true, then I will truly be disappointed with Samsung. I was a Note 7 owner and will gladly pay good money to have that device back in my hands. So far, I will not be spending my hard-earned money for the Note 8.

3300mah battery in phablet? Why is it other manufacturers(Huawei, moto, Asus, xiaomi, Lenovo) can shove a monster battery in and not have any issues yet samsung with all their money and tech is so behind the times?

 

What's with the 18:9 displays? Let's give you an unnecessarily large screen, and then make it as useless as possible. Brilliant.

 

the real question is why call it 18:9. should it not really be called 2:1

 

Had - it's actually 18.5:9.

But why? That doesn't mesh with the alternative wide screen movie format of 2.35:1. I don't get it - though it was widely considered that 16:9 was for movies, but otherwise something closer to a 4:3 format is better for reading.

 

a lawsuit just like that 4x4 lawsuit against home depot, its false advertising if it is really 18.5:9

seriously, was not aware of the rounding - thanks. you are right, it is a strange format. I guess they are just wanting to add more screen without changing the body size that could make it too wide for pockets.

 

Well, whomever came up with it first said 18:9 was mainly for some new movie formats in 2:1, but they called it 18:9 so stupid consumers would understand it relative to 16:9.

Then I'm guessing Sammie went with 18.5:9....because 18.5 is bigger than 18??? Maybe people are keeping phones longer, and the OEM's want people to feel like a new phone is actually something new and different.

I just don't see 2:1 taking off, since 16:9 is so entrenched in TV's and home theater. And then you occasionally see 2.39:1, which is true cinematic widescreen (and gives you black bars on your 16:9 screen). So I see zero reason for an 18:9 screen

 

It could be a psychological thing, 18:9 sounds bigger than 2:1

Personally I really do not like long phones. not all sites or apps will work in landscape mode so I am stuck with scrolling side to side or try to read smaller text. I wish the new note would make it a bit wider instead of longer because of it.

 

Idk if I'll buy solely due to the fingerprint sensor. Of than that it sounds great! Guess I'll wait to find out and maybe hope for a refurbed Note 7.
