I often choose Didi hitchhiking as a round-trip Love to play computer games The transportation between the studio and the home is comfortable, and it can communicate with many different people to increase the fun of life. When they ask about the author's career, they all agree that digital evaluation is fun, and I will be happy to talk about my views on all kinds of mobile phones.
After taking hundreds of hitchhikes, I summarized the views of these non digital enthusiasts on mobile phones: the iPhone is very powerful, Huawei is getting better and better, and Samsung is still stuck.
In fact, the first two writers can understand, but the recent Samsung mobile phones are not stuck anymore. That era has been more than a year since we passed. *Episode: The author bought one in September 2016 After a period of time, the card couldn't take care of itself and was teased by colleagues. Finally, it ended with the return of iPhone 6s Plus
On August 9, Samsung's flagship in the second half of the year Galaxy Note9 officially released , because it has been exploded before, there is not much to see in this press conference, except for the price: BOC's tasting price is ¥ 7499（ 6 + 128 ）And ¥ 9499（ 8 + 512 ）。
As soon as it was announced, there was widespread resentment.
As an Android king competing with the new iPhone in the second half of the year, Note9 has the same appearance and features as Note8, as well as the same hardware and functions as S9+.
What is the competitiveness of this machine?
Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC+liquid cooling heat dissipation, and from the disassembly drawing of foreign media, this is not a gimmick, and the heat dissipation performance should not be poor.
For the first time, 8GB of memory is available.
For the first time, 512GB of storage space is available, and with a 512GB microSD card, you can have a 1TB mobile phone（ ）。 Gangzhen, in fact, too many people can't use so much space.
S Pen has added Bluetooth function, and Samsung has also released SDK, so developers can develop some special functions for this pen.
Finally, it is equipped with the battery that the Note series should have - 4000 mAh, after all, the battery capacity ratio of Note 8 last year S8+ It's too small to lose face. It seems that Samsung has finally gone out“ Explosion door ”The shadow of.
If there is no accident IMX345/S5K2L3 + S5K3M3 There should be no earthshaking difference between the photo performance and S9+, and it still belongs to the first echelon.
The weight and thickness of the body have increased, but considering that the screen and battery capacity of Note9 are larger than those of Note8, the 6g is completely acceptable.
In terms of charging power, Samsung is still too conservative in this regard, as it is still being hung up by domestic flagship and even mid-range mobile phones.
The location of fingerprint identification is more user-friendly, reducing the threshold of user finger length.
On the whole, Note9 is more like Note8s. The conventional hardware upgrade+the improvement of the shortcomings of Note8. It is an Android machine. There is no doubt about this. No matter what functions and configurations you want or don't want, you can find them in Note9. Wireless charging? Yes √ waterproof? √ Excellent appearance Low frequency PWM dimming Screen? With √ 3.5mm headphone interface? There is also √. Then why do many people still refuse to buy it?
There are two reasons: price
Price of Notes in recent years
Let's take a look at the competitors
IPhone 6s/6s Plus in 2015 Starting price of BOC ¥ 5288/¥ 6088
IPhone 7/7 Plus in 2016 Starting price of BOC RMB 5388/RMB 6388, up by 1.8% / 4.9%
In 2017, the starting price of iPhone 8/8 Plus in BOC was ¥ 5888/¥ 6688, up by 9.2% / 4.6%
And of course, the iPhone X, Starting price of BOC It is ¥ 8388, which is also very expensive.
Let's have a visual look at the price changes
（ Samsung Galaxy Note Series ）
（ iPhone ）
Galaxy Note8 in 2017 was ¥ 1600 more expensive than Note5 in 2015, up by 29.6% （ Since the tasting price is not the final price, it is not easy to use Note9 for comparison ）。 The iPhone 8 Plus in 2017 was ¥ 600 more expensive than the 6s Plus in 2015, an increase of 9.8% 。
cause
The increase of Samsung flagship can be said to be quite high. The price points to 7K. Many users have to consider one question: Is it worth it? Indeed, Note9 has many functions and strong performance, but do you really need these things?
Most users pursue basic functions, such as fluency（ Existing performance ）Appearance（ It must be handsome ）. The battery life should be longer, the charging should be faster, the call should be clearer, and the photo taking performance should be better. The Samsung flagship can satisfy you with these basic functions.
But to be honest, some domestic Android 845 flagship with lower price can also do it, which is not much worse than Note9. The main input points are photography, screen quality and additional functions, and from Look, its achievements 。
Galaxy Note9 doesn't have many highlights that can make it stand out from the crowd. The S Pen is fun, but it doesn't belong to the pain point function. With it, I can record ideas, draw pictures, and now I can take remote photos. But without it, I wouldn't want to use it. DeX has a good idea. It can be used when you forget to bring a computer but remember to bring Type-C to HDMI cable and there is a monitor beside you; Or if you don't want to take so many equipment with you on business trips, you can also handle low-intensity work by taking a adapter cable+keyboard.
For a product, "expensive is not worth it" is very dangerous, The author also has deep feelings.
They are also flagship phones, all of which are Android systems. Samsung's phones are much more expensive than iPhone's, but they do not bring unique experience similar to iOS, nor are they equipped with current hot hardware functions such as 3D structured light or screen fingerprint . So, maybe this is why many people think Note9 is not worth this price. After all, if you take ¥ 7499 to buy a millet, one plus or 2698, you still have thousands of dollars left, and then go to do some financial management.
last
The impression of being stuck, the increasingly expensive price, and the negative history（ Note7 ）The rise of domestic flagship has directly led to fewer and fewer people putting Samsung flagship on the list of consideration, and also led to the current The market share is less than 1% In 2013, the number was as high as 20%.
When Note7 was just released in 2016, the author's belief in it was almost overflowing, such as the beautiful body design, iris (though not easy to use), 4096 level pressure feeling S Pen, etc., and the price was reasonable, but it was short of life. and Note8 After the release, although it is also very good, the high price still makes many people have a feeling of "can be seen from afar but not play profane".
Even though Galaxy Note9 is undoubtedly the flagship, I still think it is not worth the price. If we can lower the starting price to below ¥ 6000, it may also win back some users' attention, at least in the current situation, The performance of Note9 in the domestic market is still not optimistic, and the exchange rate is not strong now, and Hong Kong prices may not surprise you. If you really like this phone, you might as well wait for a while and wait for the price to fall, just like before~
