Samsung Galaxy Note 10 will be Note X

Samsung has used roman numeral in the past on multiple devices before Apple which doesn't matter to me at all. You're the one who said Samsung is copying apple and I simply pointed out that Samsung has a past of using roman numerals years before apple. Motorola first release Moto X back in September 2014 and released a moto x second, third and fourth generation of the brand name each year until 2017 so by your position on the branding didn't apple copy Motorola? The point is simply that apple didn't invent roman numerals. Y’all hardcore apple-dumplings think apple invented everything that they place in a commercial when it has already been done before.

As I pointed out previously, in Samsung's Note series, which is the handset we're talking about, there was one other time a Roman numeral was used: the Galaxy Note 2. Seven Note generations and one radical redesign later, Samsung copied Apple's Roman numeral"X" branding for their own flagship handset plain and simple.

Of course Apple didn't invent Roman numerals. Was that even necessary for you to point out? lol
Anyway, your using Motorola as evidence of previous Roman numeral numbering in branding doesn't apply .
Motorola never used the "X"as a Roman numeral but as a letter - just like the Moto C, Z, M, E, etc. Nice try.

Apple used Roman numeral X in 2017 for the iPhone X to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the manufacture of the iPhone.
Samsung's current iteration is the Note 9, soon to be followed by the Note X (10).
"Apple-dumplings" made me :roflmao:

I prefer the Apple ecosystem, but I don't knock people for preferring Android and I'm not delusional enough to think Apple never copied things from Samsung. The hardcore Fandroids get so touchy when it's pointed out Samsung copies Apple too. The fact is both companies have copied each other for years, and both have innovated as well. In the end, their competitiveness has resulted in great devices for the consumers.

:lol::roflmao:Yeah I remember saying something about facial recognition a few months ago and someone said, “I didn’t know Android had facial recognition”. Android had facial recognition and portrait mode (called SELECTIVE FOCUS on the Note 5) before Apple they just didn’t make commercials featuring it

Funny thing is, Apple and Android are making each other money working together, while we're here not making a dime from debating X's.
 
I'm about to download the carrier app. It shouldn't matter as all of my previous phones were unlocked and had VM out the gate.
The carrier app is slow. It takes several minutes for the VM to show up after receiving a call. People use to hate on Windows phone but it got a lot of shit right. Still waiting on dark theme...
 
Clown Apple but want to be Apple


You know Apple used to buy all their chips from Samsung rite?

You know Samsung has the best storage on any platform rite?

You know Samsung has the best displays on any platform rite?

You know Apple used to sue Samsung cause they would sell to others rite?

Samsung to be top supplier for Apple's iPhone again in 2017

I write about tech companies in Asia.
reported last month. Not that Apple had much of a choice. The Korean tech giant dominates the market.

“Currently in flexible OLED market, Samsung is the only company to mass produce and to stand in No. 1 position in both OLED smartphone and OLED panel markets,” according to Jeff Kim and Kevin Kim, analysts at Hyundai Securities.

Memory chips

Samsung is the largest supplier of NAND flash memory chips, with more than a third of the global market share. With so much business, Samsung was able to afford to pass on Apple’s demands in prior years, which was to use electromagnetic interference shielding technology, reported ETNews. That would cost Samsung more money to make, and left SK Hynix and Toshiba to step in.

Now Samsung needs a big buyer—like Apple—to make full use of its new semiconductor facility. In 2014, Samsung poured 15.6 trillion won ($14.7 billion) into a new chip plant in South Korea, the largest investment for a single plant by the tech giant.

The new plant will start operations next year, and ETNews has reported Samsung will once again supply NAND flash memory chips to Apple.

But again, the California-based company couldn’t really avoid Samsung. The iPhone maker sources from multiple suppliers and it’s difficult not to use the largest supplier of NAND flash memory chips.

Apple also won’t be able to circumvent using Samsung’s DRAM memory chips, as it commands about 60% of the mobile DRAM market.

A-series chips

Contract chip manufacturing is really the only area where Samsung faces competition, due to Taiwanese foundryTSMC.

Both Samsung and TSMC made Apple’s A9 chips for last year’s iPhone 6 smartphones, but the Taiwanese company won an exclusive contract for A10 chips for the iPhone 7. It’s expected to continue to be the sole supplier for A11 chips used in next year’s iPhones.

TSMC’s advantage comes from its integrated fan-out packaging technology, which the company said has led to improvements in both speed and packaging thickness, as well as thermal performance. The improvement will help TSMC continue to secure Apple’s business, says Len Jelinek, senior director of semiconductor manufacturing at IHS Markit. “The package in design, along with an optimized chip design, provides Apple a SoC performance advantage, as well as a physical advantage in board assembly,” he says.

But this loss hasn’t left Samsung too disappointed. This year, it produced flagship chips for Qualcomm, the other big chip buyer, and will do the same in 2017.

Back-scratching

Samsung is a vertically integrated electronics company and its advantage comes from the synergy of handsets and components. It has huge facilities that make more components than its own smartphones for economies of scale, and needs big component buyers like Apple.

Apple depends on multiple sources, but it also needs a reliable supplier who can make high quality components at large quantities like Samsung.

At the end of the day, despite the rivalry and legal battles, the top two smartphone makers need each other.
