This, i had the 10+ when it was new, I ordered this phone on the 14th last month, was released on the 29th. But didnt get it till the 12th.
I did order one of the exclusive colors that are harder to get, so that's why it took so long

I've had mine for like two weeks and I haven't actually activated it yet. Initially it was because I didn't have a case and screen protector for it, but now it is mostly because swapping phones is just kind of aggravating.

If its Samsung to Samsung, use smart switch, it moved over everything including all my settings

As someone who sells these things, I just don't get it.

I'm perfectly happy with my $200-$300 phone.

I don't mind having an expensive phone if you're gonna keep it a good while. Thus skipping many later iterations. It's the people that always scrambling to keep up with the latest (and can't afford to) that make me eyeroll. I'm still here chugging along with my S8. It was hot and expensive at the time but has ended up being worth the value.

I haven't felt the need to change it in nearly 4 years. And it's been pretty easy not to be tempted because all their later models look like shite. The s8 is still their most stylish model which is sad. The ones right after that were thicker and clunky. Then later on they keep clawing for more and more camera power like if any normal person needs that. These multi camera looks are so bad. They look like tumors on the phone. Iphone is also guilty. The S21 looks horrible. S20 was the one that almost got me to buy a new phone because it recaptured some of the lost style with more slim form and multi camera that wasn't as obnoxious.

The Note series numbering is even weirder.

The curved screen version of the Note 4 was known as the Note Edge, with no mention of the version number. They skipped the number 6 because up until then the Note was one number behind the S-series (S5 & Note 4 came out the same year), so skipping 6 allowed them to bring the version numbers into parity (S7 & Note 7 came out the same year). Of course, the Note 7 had major issues requiring a global recall, so finding one of those that hasn't exploded is extremely rare. They re-released the Note 7 with a smaller, less explodey battery as the Note Fan Edition, again, no version number in the name. And like the S-series, they skipped 11-19.

And then there was the Note 8.0, Note 10.1, Note 10.1 2014 Edition, and Note 12.2, all of which were tablets, not phones, and which came out way before the similar numbered phones.
