I'm also happy!!! It's about time people understand what phones are just useless and what is the best. It's about time for people to be brave enough to boycott Samsung for their lack of innovation and copying of other companies.

it's also time that people realize the value of money. Phone prices now are absolutely ridiculous. You can already get a great performing mid range device and get your moneys' worth

Hahahahahahahaah, lack of inovation? look at your fruit, they stole every single feature from android

Small bezels
Iris scanner/face id
wireless charging
Glass design
higher resolution (then the "perfect retina")
Amoled display
Fast charging

So before you spread bs, try to think first.

Small bezels are not an android feature lol it's a technological advances which every brands regardless of OS will reach.

Iris scanner is a feature of Samsung and not an Android feature YET. Android supports face recognition which is 2D and not 3D which Face ID offers. Apple is not the first to offer face recognition but the first to offer Facial 3D recognition on a mobile device.

Wireless charging started with palm lol but fast wireless charging started with Samsung (still not android)

Glass design is not a software feature (Android) besides Glass design started with iphone 4 were released before that we all had combination of plastic, metal, and polycarbonate materials.

Apple started the high ppi with their iphone 4 (Retina display 326ppi) and then other brands started putting way higher ppi (past the retina display apple called which is 326ppi)

Nokia had amoled display with their N86 before Samsung started using it with their devices and besides AMOLED is not a feature of Android.

Fast charging if you mean QC 2.0 -4.0 then it first started with S6 and Note 5(QC2.0) then used by other brands with Qualcomm chipsets while stock Android supported USB PD.

Acting like you had the higher ground just because you can list random things that are apparently 'first' from Android. I used both OSes extensively they have their own pros and cons. Who cares who started it first? Company copies to be in the market aren't you glad there's a competition. Fact check your facts before spreading news that arent even true.

This kind of blind fan boy/girl is the worst kind.

Apple didn't "start the high ppi", their marketing even gets their fanboys deludes. It was Samsung, Sony and LG, with their jet, X1, X2 and GD880 mini

Yeah with 480P lol.

I gave Samsung credit for the first to introduce clipboard on there keyboard that allow you to copy and paste including showing your copy and paste and deleted later on if you want lg did the same btw. This the one of the best feature of Samsung and lg that no android phone offrded even with third party keyboard including pixel even iPhone.

lack of innovation title is for apple...samsung innovated many things in recent years and still innovating...sometimes slow and sometimes fast... its a matter of realisationor proper knowledgeof technology...and one more thing other makers are copying or adopting latest trends setting by OEM.if you want to boycott then boycott other chinese makers or other brands of not having attraction .... samsung phones are full of everything....SAMSUNG is LEADING in a good way.

I don't think Samsung lacks innovation,
I think the main reason for low sales is same design.

105. Marcwand3l (Posts: 287; Member since: 08 May 2017)

I would say the price is the main reason.
Let's get real the S9 is actually a little more expensive than the S8.
Flagships phones are getting more expensive and this is not a good thing.

haha i love samsung bui i am not interested in the s9 because the only thing they did was front speaker and its not even that good,

3. Machiavelli (Posts: 4; Member since: 11 Mar 2018)

Yes, fresh and innovative design is what makes phones sell well,

7. BLUEBLASTER (Posts: 804; Member since: 23 Feb 2014)

Same as Apple wait till next year for the 10 version? I assume Samsung will be holding back the good stuff for the 10th phone?

8. mootu (Posts: 997; Member since: 16 Mar 2017)

What happened to the iPhone 4 years in a row then?
It's probably not the design but more than likely the market is mature and people don't feel the need to upgrade as often.
Same for all OEM's, take Apple for instance, the X is the first radical design change in 10 years, it should have flown off the shelves but yet they sold less phones in 2017 than in 2016.
LG offered some damn good phones in 2017 yet lost almost $1 billion.
The only ones with huge growth are OEM's such as Xaomi, OnePlus & Nokia who are offering far more value for your money.

"What happened to the iPhone 4 years in a row then?"
Well, they did not sell well either.

"Same for all OEM's, take Apple for instance, the X is the first radical design change in 10 years, it should have flown off the shelves but yet they sold less phones in 2017 than in 2016."
Yeah, Apple sold less phones but only 1 percent less and that's because 8/8 Plus did not sell well. iPhone X did its job.

10. Trex95 (Posts: 2308; Member since: 03 Mar 2013)

Actullay iPhone and galaxy still the best selling phones forget about xaomi, one plus and Nokia. The reason why not selling well due to the expensive price S9 plus in Canada cost 1099$ add tax going to cost around 1200$!.

92. murtaxarzv (Posts: 47; Member since: 13 Sep 2017)

thing is people are seeing samsung doing great work so they are asking more but some times things get too matired so refinements are only things to do...Apple give samse design for 4 years straight still great sales....where samsung galaxy S9 is so much emersive ,beautiful , beast yet identical to S8 are pointing fingers....wow.... HATS OFF to samsung for making phones great

106. Marcwand3l (Posts: 287; Member since: 08 May 2017)

How many times they lowered the orders for iphone x parts in 2018?

16. piyath (Posts: 2388; Member since: 23 Mar 2012)

There is no point of arguing with Samsung fanboys in this site. They are a bunch of 12 year old kids who like to name call others when they lose an argument. It's like punching a wall hoping it'd collapse. A fool is a fool no matter how hard you try to convince them.

23. darkkjedii (Posts: 29478; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

And yet you keep coming to Samsung articles to do just that. Actually, you come to troll, and point out any Samsung issue, but not Apple's exact same issue. You're a hypotroll.

24. fyah_king (unregistered)

Dude, stop punching the wall. The wall garden will not let you go. A sheep is a sheep no matter how hard you try to convince them.

40. darkkjedii (Posts: 29478; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)

Exactly...he refuses to see that plain fact though. It’s laughable.

Hey iFanatic, name a better phone then the S9 plus atm.
