Weekly poll results: Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ grab the MWC flagship crown

11 March 2018
In a surprise upset, the Zenfone 5z muscled past the Sony and Nokia phones.

Sort by:

Nothing offers the versatility and feature set of the S9, from the 3.5mm headphone jack, to the extremely versatile Bixby, to the advanced DeX experience. It may merely be an incremental update to the S8, but that was already far more versatile than what the other 3 even offer now...not that either of them are worthy replacement to my Note 8.

          Just came here for all the crying and hurt feelings, not disappointed, Lol.

            US wants to ban Chinese brand smartphones because they don't want to allow US spyware and backdoors into their phones.

            And as if we have privacy when Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft are among the biggest data collectors, and most especially the US government are biggest spies and violators of privacy (*ehem* Snowden and WikiLeaks *ehem*) yeah right.

              The US government banned them for a reason. That's good enough for me.
              When you'll find your bank account empty, make sure to thank those replika brands you praise..
              Everybody knows in the Android world there's only Samsung and Sony. The rest are lame wannabes that will copy everything, even that hideous notch!

                    Hayaan Mo Sila, 11 Mar 2018People are crazy at overreacting. I also thought for once ... moreQuit lying to yourself man! I'm a Sony fan and user (XZP) but even I vot3for the s9. Why? Because of that horrible, horrible design the XZ2 has, it looks like it has a huge hump on the back. And for what? There's no significant battery in it and NO 3.5MM jack that could fit without a problem.
                    The gave us that silly vibration motor. WTF is the bs?
                    I lo e Sony, vut this year they fracked up good.

                      S9 looks like a Samsung phone
                      LG's looks like a LG phone
                      Zenphone 5x looks like a Asus phone
                      Nokia 8 looks like a HMD phone
                      But Sony's looks like a Lumia

                        Only because Huawei and apple wasn't there with their new flagship.

                            but, if zenfone don't shout AI on everything, it can be a good standing beside the s9
                            i think it so ridiculous when a company, as great as asus(computer wise that is) slapping AI on every possible thing it can when it's actually not

                              Anonymous, 11 Mar 2018This MWC was disappointing to say the least. Asus is promis... moreI chose it because it doesn't have a notch, has 3.5mm jack and atleast imo looks good. If the XZ2 retained the 3.5mm jack i would've chose it. Etc.

                                People are crazy at overreacting.
                                I also thought for once that it will be hard to not have a headphone jack. But I've seen my sister with her iPhone 7 Plus, and I don't find anything hard with using the Lightning EarPods.
                                The more OEMs ditching the jack, the faster and easier wireless earphones and headphones will spread and be made better.
                                Besides, there is a Y-dongle in the box that allows for 3.5mm jack and USB C simultaneously. And before you say that they shouldn't have removed it in the first place, let me tell you one thing: SPACE!

                                The internals of the XZ2 are so big, headphone jack is hard to fit inside. Vibration motor is large, camera sensor is large, stereo speakers are large, battery is large, plus some add-ons like Qi Wireless Charging, if they didn't make it 11mm thick, they wouldn't even have half of these crazy new hardwares inside.

                                  AnonD-674238, 11 Mar 2018WHY AND HOW?? s9 and s9 plus were worse improvement in any deviceOnly the Galaxy S9, S9+ and the Zenfone 5z are the most ideal phone, here's why :
                                  Both phones have the latest chipset while V30S and Nokia 8 Sirocco have a last year chipset.
                                  Both phones have stereo speakers while V30S and Nokia don't have it.
                                  Both phones have audio jack while Xperia and Nokia don't.

                                  Galaxy S9&S9+ over the Zenfone 5z
                                  Wireless charging
                                  Better display without the notch
                                  IP68 certified
                                  Dual Aperture

                                  Zenfone 5z over the Galaxy S9&S9+
                                  Wide angle camera (have the Note8 and telephoto lens is useless)
                                  AI features (I like their AI boost, AI camera and AI battery charging, machine learning that adapt to user is great).

                                    Glad to see ASUS getting positive attention. Not a fan of the notch, but what they're offering at those price points is worthy of appreciation!
