midnight black and cloud silver available soon in the US - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion

Who else is pissed that they settled for the piss yellow pen? As soon as I received my 512 GB version Samsung decided to pull this 'apple like' move.
I jumped the gun due to the tmobile 500 dollar credit so ill probably just end up selling the note 9 for around 600-900 dollars.
I would refund to tmobile but not sure how they would handle my trade in (note 5)

Not pissed, but felt they would allow other colors to come to the US at some point. Just gonna roll on with the blue until the note 10 drop. Also I'm going to wait on color options before I buy.

Why would I be mad? Almost perfect phone. Cool blue. Nerdy stylus. Note 9 looks sweet in black though.

I adore the blue.
I really like how the yellow pen writes on the black screen, too.

Are you saying how the plastic nibeets the glass. Nothing like paper and pencil. I like the sound effects though. ??

Love the blue! Also love the feel of the spen on a screen protector for taking notes. Close enough to pencil and paper for me.

Really? Which screen protector are you using?

If your piss is that yellow you're probably pissing pure sulfur.

I go back and forth between the armor suit and the phantom skinz. Armor Suit fits better but the spen marks stay a long time. The phantomskinz is the best feel, but everytime I put a spigen case on, it peels up on the bottom edges. Wish they would cut it just a hair smaller and they would have the best screen protector out there. Still, I would say give phantom skinz a try, cause spen works great on it.

Who cares what color the pen is? It's insane to get all worked up about it that you are willing to dump the phone to get a different color.

My blue Note 9 in a black case looks awesome! Problem solved. :good:

Don't care, it's going in a case.

Black vs White subtle differences

I got a chance today to get hold of both variations. Other than the obvious color on the back, there are several subtle differences:
1. Earpiece color, black vs white
2. Side finish, matte vs glossy
3. Back finish, soft-touch vs regular matte plastic (contrary to what Engadget reported)
I was going to grab the white one for the look, but after getting them in my hands, I changed my mind. That soft touch back on the black one is really comfortable to touch (I don't plan on using a case anyway). Also, I prefer the earpiece to be black.
Also take a look at this post:

Weak, I didn't know that (about the finish on the back) or I too would've opted for black.
So the conclusion is that white has the better looking and the black is more comfortable for using?

16gb white was all that was available when i hit the play store yesterday so that's what i ordered. i like the black / white combo on this device and ordered the white spiegen ultra fit case to show it off.
won't really matter how the back compares against the black once the case is on there.

Well yes, this is my opinion, although IMO white is just slightly more appealing if it also have a soft touch back.
I guess having soft touch on white is either very difficult, or will make it stain/turn yellow easily
I always believed that the white one will not have soft touch, until I read the Engadget report...but it turns out to be false
I have a white GS3 and love white devices but after never being able to get a case or bumper that can stay clean, I opted for the black Nexus 5.
Man, if I had known the white wasn't a soft-touch stain magnet, I may have considered it more. That white ear piece grill is ugly, though.
Now that you mention it it makes sense that they wouldnt go soft touch with the white. Makes me long for the black one now. Im not usually one to put my phone is a case, but I think without the softback I might go with a case this time around and see how it works. Regardless, they both look like great pieces of hardware

Man thats disappointing. I was looking forward to the white. Did the back cover feel like the same type of plastic on the white HTC HERO? I Wish I could get hands on both. I was really up for the white but the ear piece looks silver in pics and I thought it would really detract from the gorgeous screen always catching your eye.
Shame they really should have documented that there was a difference in the two models and how they are finished.
Also how did the glossy sides feel of the white one? Im assuming the white is aimed stereotypically at the female market hence the glossy glossy sides.

I don't know how it compares to Hero... My first Android device is the GNex. It feels similar to white Note 3's back.
The sides shouldn't make that much difference in feel, I guess (I didn't check that out).
Looking at these pictures it seems the black one is fingerprint magnet:

Not that bad from my limited testing. I tried pressing my finger on it, no obvious print; although there are slight smudges from (presumably) the previous person.

I've got it in hand and it is really good looking, the back is a soft touch plastic but it is different to the black. The black is identical to the 2013 N7, where as the white is smoother and less absorbent, but still very comfortable.
Let's put it this way, in was stood with the black in one hand and the white in the other, could have had either and I walked away with the white

Finally pulled the trigger on white thinking that I could always cover it with the bumper case in case I regret, but I didn't notice the ugly earpiece! :crying:

ALL the phones/tablet he show in the comparison have greasy prints all over :laugh:
Even the two-year old phone I use everyday is much cleaner...
Yeah looking at YouTube vids the white is soft touch. The sides are definitely glossy I actually think it looks more premium than the black.
However the white earpiece cover is freaking unforgivable in my eyes who thought that was a good idea. Its so freaking distracting.
It may be good so you can quickly pick up the phone the right way up but coming from a gnex my eye is drawn to it since its the same size as the notification light on my nexus.
Also watching any video on this and your always going to be drawn to the white dot. If they were willing to do that they may as well have made the whole thing white. The point in the black front is to stop glare or light reflection so as not to distract from the screen. This does the opposite.
It reminds me of a mini galaxy tab when it first came out. I liked that and I like this just not the white earpiece. Silly design feature.

We need more people who actually touched the device to get a conclusion. For me, the white one definitely feels like regular plastic.

Just received S6 Edge - AMA

Just got my shiny new 128gb AT&T S6 Edge. Have a couple of hours to kill - feel free to ask me stuff!
I've got mine, but I'm curious does your front screen have scratch swirls all of it when you are in light?
Mine is scratched to hell on the front.
Any chance you want to attempt using CF-autoroot just in case Samsung ignored AT&T's request to lock? Figured I'd ask, despite the fact that there's virtually no chance.

I received my black/128 today as well. Not a scratch in sight. So far loving it but still notice signs of lag. Coming from Moto X 2nd gen and HTC M9. However, it is far less than S5 and is worth it to have a great overall phone with superb camera (M9 was aweful)
How is the battery ? Could you post some pictures?

Well I don't blame you, the 128gb on ATT is frankly outrageously expensive.
My 128gb looks perfect.
How bad is the att bloat? Also did it come in Samsung packaging or the att boxes they have been doing in the past?
Mine appears to be just a regular Samsung box, not specifically AT&T. Also, mine doesn't have any scratches or swirls, I have the 128GB white. It's immaculate.

I've always been partial to the white phones. I'm not too keen on all the different colors. A crystal clear thinnest case available and white is my favorite. The new colors the have though are pretty nice. You'll be very happy with whatever you decide to get.

Samsung pay
Just got my White 32gb S6 edge..Not a scratch in sight! Wanted to ask you guys if you'll have heard anything about the samsung pay. The samsung rep from best buy told me sometime this summer and the live chat on the samsung website told me that its available on the S6 but not yet on the S6 Edge which doesn't make any sense!
For those of you who already have one, how does it feel to hold with the curved screen? It seems sexy as hell but I feel like it's really easy to accidentally touch the sides of the screen

It is sexy as hell! And actually only find the edges easier to grip and less slippy than the S6. So far I haven't had issues with accidental touches, and it makes swiping in side menus actually a pleasure. Some apps are also emerging that make the most of the curves which is even cooler.
ok
ok.....
Can't wait to get it!
Played with one in Costco, and I must say, just amazing! The screen is even better than my note 4, which is saying a lot! And the curves look sexy as hell! Mine will b off contract though, so I will more than likely end up getting the 64gb.
U guys should post some pics......

Ugly black border on Soft Gold version.

Seriously, I can't use the phone without noticing these thick black borders. The soft gold variant appealed me because Oneplus photoshopped out the black borders inside the bezels. Why oneplus why?
Furthermore, I don't have any option to return the phone as I've imported it. I am hating the phone that I wanted to love.
Do not buy in Soft Gold, it's ugly.

Yes, but not to the level of this phone. Apple, to their credit shiw the border(which is thinner than on OP3 anyway) in the promotional pictures. But if you look at OP3's website the gold color is shown without any border. I feel bit cheated.
I'm overacting a bit but I'm really regretting the fact that I don't have an option to exchange it for a black one.

I just received my "russian girl" OP3... first thing, it is not bling-bling at all, the gold tone is very soft, and yes the white face is a little of a shock to me since this is the very first time I have a phone with a white face, but I'm sure I will get used to it. It does not look like a cheap chinese telephone at all as someone said, which is funny because this IS a cheap chinese phone .
The only thing I do not like is the screen protector that comes with it, it is like wearing a size S t-shirt when you are size L .
Forgot to say that the black line around the screen is a non issue for me.

For me this Soft Gold model is just perfect for it's price. The tiny black border doesn't bother me at all, it's on all white front phones I've seen and used. Otherwise it's also much better than I expected after reading these threads here and on OnePlus forums complaining just about anything. Very positively surprised.
It's all about personal taste and preference I guess!
@brickedvice could you post a photo of the Soft Gold phone with the screen protector that has black top and bottom? I'd love to see how it looks

Light leak on Note 9 512GB blue special edition

On a 512gb Blue special edition bought in Hong Kong
Please ignore the Chinese.... Here's the image
https://ibb.co/c76Tze
https://ibb.co/kHjnsz
Can see even with case on , UAG plasma case
Doesn't look that bad but still... It cost 10k hong Kong dollar
What to do..
return to shop, ask for replacement
In my country where Samsung placed factory, users reported this problem then Samsung said: it is a feature of curve Amoled display, don't worry )
dont buy Chinese, buy Korean
A feature huh... The real edge light it is? :cyclops: I am going for a exchange after work , hopefully they will let me.

ask to see other models to check if they all have it or not
It's just going to happen again anyway. Light bleed will eventually return as you use the device. There's nothing wrong with the device man.
I have just left the service center, they said they will need to check to see if its vaild for replacement or not. They initial try NOT to acknowledge the issue and said they couldn't see it. Will see what they have to say in 45min. I am very disappointed how Samsung treat me as a customer who bought their highest tier note 9 and note 8 previously. If they don't give me a replacement I am going to sell it via eBay and get a iPhone after 12th conference. Not happy about it !
BTW here is an article about the issue https://www.google.com.hk/amp/s/wccftech.com/galaxy-note-9-light-leak-issue/amp/

My s7e is perfectly fine too. It's absurd someone to be ok with compromises in 1000/1250 euro phone! No excuses in that price range, it's samsung problem the rushed first batches of as many devices as they can! Not yours as a customer that pays so much money for a phone to be faced with constructive defect and then decline an exchange.
OP, can't you just use the law to return the phone in 7 (14 in some countries) days?
Lucky you. Just got my phone back from Samsung customer case and they ask me to believe its completely normal, which is not in my opinion. The 512gb is around 1400USD or so. (bought it in hong kong HKD9798)

return it as fast as you can then. but a nice thin case like the seidio surface might be a good alternative if you want to keep it.( case should hug the phone right up to the edges)
a good permanent marker doesn't stink or rub off once its full dry...

Sharpie stinks. But I don't have light bleed so I'm not sweating it. Just seems like if you spend that much on a device it shouldnt be a fixer upper.

Glass back already cracked

A handful of posters that do not have the phone , posting on a thread of a phone that clearly was hit or dropped. It comes with a case. Tmo offers casemate for $20.

Exactly. This is more an example of vocal idiots than any kind of issue with the phone.

You can tell it was dropped or hit by something. In the sub Reddit thread, someone even pointed out that you could see the impact and when I looked closer at the picture and zoomed in, I could see it also.
I read that post yesterday and was shaking my head. OP: "I woke up and it was like this???" And the top comment seems to agree it could have happened spontaneously. This of course is only possible on reddit.
Why OnePlus used glass black in a phone without wireless charge? Unless the 7 Pro T comes with it so they will use same glass back.

Hell I could see the impact without zooming in, looks like a sharp edge. If he really doesn't remember it he probably drank and ran into a counter.

I don't understand what these people are doing to their phones, I've had 6 phones now and not one has ever been damaged like that, my Nexus 4's battery inflated like a balloon eventually but I was able to replace it. When I hand on my phones after replacing them they've always been in mint condition. Screen protector and a good protective case, that's all you need. I think it's just the iPhone mentality..."Nah, it spoils the looks bruh"

This is hilarious,the guy is hangover for sure,any glass phone won't break itself that bad, he surely hit something while phone was in hos pocket or he dropped it.
Btw ,today going to work i had my phone in between the car seats in a cup holder and i slammed on brakes ,phone flu hitting gear stick and landing on the floor . Nothing happened,i had the case provided in the box.
he woke and it was like that because he dropped it while he was sleeping. He just left out a few key details.
Probably passed out on a bench after a late night outing and the phone fell on the pavement / tar road. Only on reddit. Everything is possible.

So what do you think of the upgrade from 1+5 to 1+7? Worth it?

7 Pro! ...and yes, definitely worth it if you passed the 6/6T. The UFS 3.0 alone is worth it. Startup time is stupidly quick.

I upgraded from 1+5 to 1+7 Pro. This was definitely worth it and I bet it's the same for an upgrade to 1+7!
@djsubterrain @.vermilion
My 7 pro just arrived. Coming from 5. Hope it's worth it.
I've had the paint off mine come off on a little spot below the alert slider.
Do you think this is some sort of manufacture defect or just my own carelessness?
I have been using the phone with the case (the one includes in the box) since the very beginning.
Although the case doesn't cover that part, I don't see how I could have caused the paint to come off. If it's just due to some light scratching due to my nails when using the alert slider then I'd be quite disappointed with the durability of the frame, especially since it's made of aluminium.
