If you had taken advantage of the Note 7 apology discount you could've easily paid off an iPhone X.
The 256 GB SD card alone goes for over $100.

Hell, with that deal the Note 8 is actually cheaper than the iPhone 7.

TC, I'm amazed you didn't take advantage of that Note 7 owners deal. Literally $500 for a Note 8 and a 256GB card. You could've sold those for profit.


The S9 will come out in about 6 months and then the Note 8 will be history sadly

Not to mention the retina scanning can be faked with a photo, it has nothing Face ID

I also despise how Samsung is constantly fighting with Android for OS superiority


I said you could have sold them. It's a $1000 phone for $500. It's not rocket science.

The Note market is oversaturated and no one is buying these for more than $800. Take out FeeBay's expenses and you're looking at about $700. Samsung owes me more than a potential $200 for ruining the best phone ever

The SD card would go into my Switch but I have a 128 GB I found for $40 anyway

I have Jump On Demand so the 8 Plus cost me $0 down and the X will be about $250 tops

When I picked up the iPhone 8, I knew this was no ordinary phone. Just one touch of the smooth glass back filled my body with a sense of energy and strength I had not felt in years.

"Careful!" my friend Mike told me. "You don't want to mess with that thing. Rumor has it that it scored over 10k on Geekbench."

I laughed. "That's nonsense," I said with a smile. "No phone has ever scored that high. Are you trying to pull the wool over ol' GB's eyes?"

I flipped the phone over and gazed at the screen. The gorgeous Tru-Tone screen sprung to life and filled my eyes with colors that I could never have even imagined.

"WELCOME TO IPHONE," the phone said. "ARE YOU PREPARED TO EXPERIENCE TRUE POWER?"

Mike jumped back, startled. "I told you not to fuck with that!" he screamed. "It's 10k on Geekbench! The most powerful phone ever, until the next phone that comes out this exact same time next year!"

"YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF THIS POWER," replied the phone. A beam fired out of the iPhone 8, liquifying Mike before my eyes.

"NOW," the phone said. "WHAT WILL YOUR FIRST SEQUENCE BE?"

I looked at the gory remains of my friend. I felt the power of a 10k Geekbench score in the palm of my hand.

"iPhone, open up Facebook," I said, excited to experience such tremendous power. "I've got a post about how BLM is a domestic terrorist group to compose."

That's a lot to write up for a joke of a smartphone.


It's copy pasta

Don't disrespect Green Butter by accusing him of posting a pasta.


I saw a similar one posted for the Xbox One X is why

He wrote the Xbox One X one too.

Even at $800 you would've made a $300 profit from the phone and at least $100 extra for the card. Why give that up? It's free money, man.

Yeah so I thought he just reworded it but reading it again and it's new

I already beat him up and stole his stock options so it's okay now

Dude. I have an iPhone 6 Plus as well. Just tired of the pretense that all that processing power results in anything meaningful over its rivals - because it for sure is overkill for a 750p phone with 2GB of RAM


That's odd because specs are exactly what Android fanboys bring up every single time like it's gonna murk the latest iPhone, and it never does

I still remember the S7. QUAD CORE SNAPDRAGON 730 GET FUCKED CRAPPLE

*7 Plus bodies the S7 Edge easily*

You didn't remember correctly. It's Qualcomm Snapdragon 820. >_>

Everyone is putting up their Note 8s and 256 SD cards on eBay and therefore the market is oversaturated. The SD cards aren't selling for more than $50-$70.

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=256gb%20micro%20sd%20card&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

The Note 8 averages around $750. Deduct the seller fees for both and you're only making around $150 tops.

Plus, on the other hand, you're paying $950 for an 8 Plus. That's practically double what you could've gotten a Note 8 for.

The 7 Plus starts at $799, Bert

Are you messing up the prices intentionally again

You also forgot to consider the downtime I would be without a phone while I sell the Note 8 after giving them my own phone

And let’s not forget they don’t absolve you from whatever payments you still had left on it

The link I posted showed multicore scores. iPhone 8 has nearly a 2x lead


I don't know about you but I'm trusting the source that shows the score on the iPhone 8 within the app itself which gave iPhone 8 a 6381 score which was lower than Galaxy but within margin of error instead of a summary bar graph.

You're getting the 64 GB model and not the 256?

Yup. Apple Music has been fucking fantastic in terms of uploading my entire iTunes collection and mixing it with their own offerings.

I do plan on getting the 256 X just for longetivity reasons

I despise the 7 since I was forced to upgrade from the Note 7

The 8 Plus is $0 down and my monthly bill doesn't change

I can upgrade every 30 days

If I can preorder the X then I can just give up the 8 (and keep all the goodies it comes with)

If I fail to preorder the X I'll still have the 8 until I can preorder again
