S10+ anyone

Not worth it at 175k.
FP scanner seems to have some complaints, although can be improved with software updates. The cutout on the display is an eyesore and unlike notches that can be disabled on some devices, hiding the cutout on the S10 creates this large hideous black bezel on top that just ruins the whole look.
The only appealing parts are the camera and battery.
S10e and s10 is where it's at with the single-camera cutout and lower price. The S10Plus is a big no-no in terms of the aesthetic department. Even If I had all the money in the world I still would NOT buy the Plus variant. S10e looks compelling at that 750$ Price tag. But, as always, everything that comes into Pakistan is bloated in price. I personally think the Cutouts on the S10e and S10 looks better than any notch tbh

Hmmmmm, sure about that grey?
Ehh, the cutouts all look equally weird, even the single cam ones. But I might come around, maybe once I see the device in real life.
Another thing I forgot to mention, is that they killed the notification LED... kind of a deal breaker for me. It's such a useful feature.
I really don't understand, the punch hole (or in case of s10+, holes) are in the top right corner and should not distract content wise unless you have an OCD, I think the s10+ is the best looking galaxy, second to note 9. I also do like the boxier aesthetics of s10.
iPhone 10 has a very very wide notch that obstructs notification icons.
Pixel 3 XL has a very deep notch which may obstruct content, Pixel 3 has a relatively less screen to body ratio (doesn't bother me though).
Xperia and Htc are not in the game (although I love both).
So the only device that can come close to S10 is OP6T, which you know has some compromises obviously due to having a lower price point.
TLDR; If you do not have issue with a notch, punch hole should not be a deciding factor. Only thing that I hate about the S10 is the software, I still don't like the One UI majorly due to the app drawer and weird ugly icons, not to mention the bloatware. If you like Samsung and can buy one from abroad, go for it because S11 would be definitely not a huge improvement anyways. Otherwise wait for OnePlus 7.

S10 just may be if price some day comes down to 110-120k. While I am in the topic, its time to change my phone, I was hoping for S10 but price + screen finger scanner so not sure. I want to go for S9 Plus, don't care that its a year old now and will get only one more major update, should I go buy one now or wait for S10 to arrive, hoping the prices go down? and anyone has shopped around for a new S9 Plus these days? Online prices are all 106k - 110k plus.
Unfortunately due to dollar rate hike, S9+ is also being sold for 100+ (brand new).
Reason being, that Samsung Pak stopped selling the 64GB model, and is only selling the 128GB S9+ with official warranty, giving them an excuse to charge 112k for it (official retail price).
You could look around in local market and get it lower if some shopkeeper sells it at wholesale rate, or wait and see the price cut that they impose themselves when the S10 is out of pre-order stage.
Honestly Samsung is basically giving everyone except NA/ China an inferior set by focing their exynos crap. The SnapDragon versions are superior in GPU/CPU/ flash performance and in all likelihood battery performance to say the least.
This is nothing new it has been going for nearly forever, with PTA/DIRBS (sic) it has become that much more of an issue of getting an import working. I got a s10+ (single sim/ exynos crap) for AUD 750 through my contracting comp. Gonna see how bringing it back goes.

Melbourne, my work contractor gets all sorts of deals one of which was this. I plan on selling it back home provided i can get it activated at no charge which i am hopeful as I am only going to be carrying this one phone.
As per FBR policy international Traveler PAK can get one phone reg, free of cost in a year, So i think it wont be an issue with you, and there is also a planned protest against PTA Dirbs by Mobile Association of PAK tomorrow, so let see what happens.

Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming. -
SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.

XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
