Samsung Galaxy S10 = NOPE

TwinTurboXI · 03-14-2019, 09:29 AM

I'm pretty excited for mine to arrive today and i'm not concerned about the UFS 2.1 vs 3.0 controversy.

I'll be trading my S9 in for $550 which is more than I paid for it..

S10e - $800
S10 - $900
S10+ - $1000
All three were light years ahead of my S, uh... nevermind (although - the rep did offer $150 for ol' Bessie as trade-in).
Nevertheless, I did my due diligence on the www before pulling the trigger on a product that'll be tethered to me from wake-up to beddy-bye for the next several years.
I was surprised at some of the stuff I read from reputable outlets.
Especially,
"Every Galaxy S10 model is fitted with UFS 2.1 storage, despite Samsung announcing the commercial availability of UFS 3.0 which is twice as fast and more efficient, so it has less battery drain." (Forbes)
Apparently,
UFS 2.1 tranfers 23.2Gbps
UFS 3.0 transfers 11.6Gbps
resulting in "apps loading and responding dramatically faster."
Also,
UFS 2.1 has 3.3V power supply
UFS 3.0 has 2.5V power supply
resulting in:
-huge performance boost
-less power consumption
-longer battery life
You may be saying, "So what buttercup? They didn't use 3.0 so get over it."
Well peep this... Evidently,
"Samsung has*already confirmed*the Galaxy Fold will have UFS 3.0 when it launches next month and every Samsung flagship phone will feature this next-generation storage from now on."
Here's a kicker - when the Galaxy S9 was released it went for $720. In one month the model had lost 41.66% of its value. In nine months it'd lost nearly 60% and was worth $290. Heck, it takes several years for even a bimmer's price to be cut in half.
Can you imagine how quick and how much this new S10 will depreciate when Samsung starts dropping superphones in a month? Guess 'ol Bessie is sticking around for a little longer.

Tell me where I can get a s9 for 299?? I will buy some of them and sell for 550. That's a lie what your saying.

Damn, unwad your panties. If it is a lie, then it's a lie that I'm quoting.
I named the source and posted a screen grab.

Where are you finding them new for 290? A quick Amazon search shows it current costs 536 for the cheapest new one.

He is making the info on the go, I was looking for a phone my self few months ago became I broke my note 8, and there were no s9 for 299. I ended up buying a s6 for 170, so I won't regret if it brakes at work. Also funy how he compares a 1,000$ phone to a x5, when a phone gets released every years so of course it will depreciate faster.

LOL, you made me Google. Never heard of Bixby. Apparently the version loaded onto my ancient device is called S Voice.

Your post doesn't prove nothing. I was in the market for a phone also, and there were no s9 for 299. You most seen s6 for 299, even s8 is almost 400.

Okay friend. I appreciate your passion. In the future I'll be more careful about ripping quotes and data from reputable sources. Meanwhile, I hope that S6 serves you very well for a long time.

Reputable?

Did they include links where you can purchase the phone for under 300?

Pure bullscrap

Yeah, most folks consider Forbes a reputable publication. I suppose they would've presented the evidence upon which the claim was based if they were preparing a case for trial. But it was just an article. Try decaf.

Lol nice one. Do they also have information for people that complain about phone bean to expensive? I just look up and it says they also accept BMW x5 for a trade in for a brand new 1000$ s10, in case the phone is to much for you.
