I was talking about the hardware. Is it even possible to buy a few kB memory?

So was I. Though I admit I made an assumtion that hardware components make a significant proportion of the final price. If the 1GB RAM takes less than 1% of the $250 price tag, then I would question how on earth can they justify the rest.

To be fair, I have no idea. But as an illustration, I work for a company making CPUs for embedded tech. Our chips have a few KB built in, both RAM and flash. We sell the chips for a few cents a piece of you buy in bulk.

Have you checked out S9 plus? Supposed to have best camera. What do you think about the notch? Are you becoming too invested in Apple ecosystem to make it hard to change?

tried it. doesn't like it.

No, Im only using browser and mail/calender. (and streaming services)

maibe next note will be wider. if no cool double screen device or hwqwerty appears. But its more likely to witnesses an alien invation than finding a high-end qwerty in store.

If that is all you are using it for I would get an intermediate level android at half the price as they have comparable performance.
