I Went to Purchase a Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and AT&T Shrugged

Was there fervor? Was the staff persuaded to offer the telephone? Not in any case the ones who had a Note 8.

Each time another - and evidently imperative - telephone rises, I get energized. 

I need to go to a store, contact it, and play with it. 

The vast majority of all, I need to hear how the business people are offering it. 

I like being sold to by an individual. Also, with regards to telephones, I've heard such a significant number of entrancing strategies, stories, and even affirmations throughout the years. 

At the dispatch of the iPhone X, for instance, a T-Mobile store revealed to me it wasn't justified, despite any potential benefits. 

Things being what they are, what might happen when the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 turned out on Friday? 

I quickly went straight to an AT&T store - I'm a client - to see the energy and, I envisioned, tune in to fine patter. 

The First Surprise 

The store was strangely unfilled. 

In any case, I was welcomed by a beguiling sales representative, brimming with eagerness. 

Regular excitement, that is. Not excitement for the Note 9. 

"Along these lines, what's the distinction amongst this and the Note 8?" I inquired. 

"Very little. Simply the camera," she answered, with a shrug. "That is it. It's about the profundity in the photo, and this telephone has the best camera of all." 

"That is what individuals truly think about?" 

"You'd be shocked. They truly mind. The one issue is that when you have a Samsung telephone, and you send your photo to an iPhone, it doesn't look so great." 

Pause, individuals think about how their pixels will look when they send photographs to companions? 

It appears to be so. 

"I have an iPhone," the sales representative proceeded. "The majority of my companions have iPhones, and none of us would switch on account of what it would do to our photos." 

She was disarmingly forthcoming, and this was an obviously better ordeal than my toward the end in an AT&T store, at the dispatch of the Galaxy S9. 

In any case, I expected more excitement about the Note 9. All things considered, when iPhone X turned out, an AT&T sales representative instructed me to purchase a Note 8. 

The Second Surprise 

"The main other thing about the Note 9 is the S Pen," proceeded with the businessperson, with another shrug. "We have one in the back. Individuals continue taking them." 

She drew out the S Pen, we attempted to take a selfie together, as I utilized the S Pen to enact the camera. 

She likewise demonstrated to me how you can drift the S Pen over words on the telephone's screen to get moment interpretations - to Polish, obviously. 

All things considered, however, she couldn't imagine this was a type of enchanted gadget. 

She recommended that I sit tight for the new iPhones. These, clearly, will turn out in September. 

"We don't know which day, yet the organization's as of now prevented us from taking any get-away. On the off chance that you have something booked, you can go. Be that as it may, in the event that you don't, you need to be prepared to work quickly," she said. 

The Third Surprise 

Another businessperson meandered over. 

He'd obviously caught our discussion and needed to talk. 

Why? He possessed a Note 8 and adored it. Presently I'd truly get the hard offer. 

"Thus, what do you consider this Note 9?" I inquired. 

"It's okay," he said. 

What? That is all the better you can do? 

"Are you going to get one?" I inquired. 

"Not for that kind of cash." 

The Note 9 can cost $1,250, however this declared Samsung darling wasn't sold. He acknowledged, to some degree grudgingly, this was the best Note yet. He proved unable, however, summon anything near fervor. 

To be perfectly honest, neither could Samsung when it initially introduced it. 

What followed straightaway, however, was a discussion between the businessperson and the salesperson about the benefits of the opponent biological communities. 

Both concurred that the other's telephone was "excessively confused." 

For the iPhone-cherishing businessperson: "With Samsung, there's all these additional applications and things. It's simply excessively. Also, a lot of stuff I don't need." 

For the Samsung-cherishing businessperson: "iPhones are excessively confused on the grounds that they're excessively straightforward." 

We both took a gander at him to ponder what he was discussing. 

He clarified: "It resembles, I take a gander at it, and I don't know how to return when I'm finished with something." 

Er, OK. 

Both concurred, in any case, that Samsung was battling a bit. 

"Samsung sent us T-shirts for the S9 dispatch," said the businessperson. "We remained around in them and nobody came." 

The businessperson endeavored to spare brand confront: "With the iPhones, it's simply the showcasing. Apple's better at advertising." 

Is that extremely evident? Samsung has, in now is the ideal time, had some incredible battles. Apple's, then again, have to a great extent been very trite. 

By one means or another, however, there's greater fervor about iPhones on the grounds that Apple still figures out how to influence the items themselves to appear to be changed. Or on the other hand, at any rate, sufficiently unique - particularly generally. 

There's a sure funniness in what number of Android telephones are duplicating the iPhone X's score. There's equivalent amusingness in how Samsung feels it has little to showcase, put something aside to suggest that Apple store workers are numbskulls. 

I could have stood talking to these two sales representatives for some time. They were totally enchanting. I had different activities, in any case. 

"Possibly I'll see you in September," I said. 

"We'll be here," said the sales representative. "We didn't book excursion sufficiently early."
