soares, 19 Sep 2018Why that ugly notch? Apple was a symbol of a good design on... morePeople say copy, I say that Samsung had 20million notched screens to dispose of and sold them off cheap. Seriously, there was a glut of display tech, sat idle. Much may not have been made, but they likely had a surplus of the components needed. I just wished that HTC had bought them, could have made the U12+ bearable.

    And mine new fone gonna have 5000mAh :) and cost me only £321 :)

      LOL, 19 Sep 2018You do know that iPhones are much more energy efficient tha... moreYou do understand that the android is not optimized to run one a single hardware combo like IOS is ???
      There are hundreds of phone makers that use android on there phones and there is like at least 4 types of different CPU's like Snapdragon, Exynos, Kirin and Meadiatek.
      Then RAM from 1GB to 8GB

      While for IOS there is only what apple has and are optimized to work on there devices.

          GTK DONALD, 19 Sep 2018i can recommend this is a beast phone . iphone is the best ... more....lol. To answer your question, no the Galaxy S9+ is not the worst phone.

          HTC U12+
          LG G7
          Sony XZ2 (premium is great but not for the price)

          Those would like a word with you. Also, unlike the iPhones, at least Samsung has better battery, RAM, microSD card, HEADPHONE JACK, and winds up this year with the better camera with its dual aperture and 4K60fps video recording. As much as I don't like Samsung's software (which can be remediated with Open Source beautiful ROMS and such), Samsung has the better specs for the price.

          So again, no, Samsung Galaxy S9+ is not the worst phone.

                AnonD-632062, 19 Sep 2018Well, with it's screen resolution, it's obvious that the XR... moreTrue. I won't be surprised if Apple puts in a VGA resolution for the next gen 'budget' XR and get even better battery optimisation.

                  Simplicity.

Even simple, basic stuff such as the software keyboard is badly botched by certain Android OEMs (and no, not everyone wants to install Swiftkey or some third party keyboard.)

                          Can you charge and listen without a dongle?
                          (Accounting for 7/8/x/Xs/Xr)
                          Transfer songs without a software as a bridge?
                          Request a cable from another brand user to charge your phone?
                          Arrange freely apps in a grid? Or alternately Hide them as you don't need the built in app?
                          If any of these's questions's answers is no, then it's not the best phone.
                          (I am sure I forgot other examples though)

                            Joey, 19 Sep 2018so far behind that everyone wants one....... You do know that iPhones are much more energy efficient than Android phones, don't you? Similarly, iOS does not need insane amounts of RAM.

                            It's easy to hate/dislike Apple and think this is one more way it screws over its customers. But it really is not.

                              Fusion, 19 Sep 2018Why are all you Android Fanboys obsessed with Apple? iPh... moreMy reason: Mainly because of the restrictive experience of iOS, I love iPhones, just not their OS.

                                  Sakuragi, 19 Sep 2018Yeah right, even the iPhone X with 2,716 mAh has better scr... moreI have a 6s , its battery has always been useless for my use , last iPhone I have purchased.

                                    iPhone XS Max's battery is fine but the display is too large with the aspect ratio so it won't enough as some people and biased youtubers were saying the XZ3 6 inch display won't be enough with the 3300 battery. Now I want them to say the same thing about Apple.
                                    Also the phones's are thick and yet have smaller batteries and the people where questioning Sony all the way. At least Sony was giving good performance with the LCD displays so with the OLED it will have great optimisation. Also the iPhones will have will have a great optimisation and it's doesn't matter if you have big battery when it will be the same average with the smaller batteries as we seen in the battery tests.
                                    At the end of the day, its about the personal use of the phone. If you use it heavy then you the phone won't last the whole day but if your normal user you will have the phone the whole day and maybe more. But looking how the iPhones were bad in the battery tests, this will be the first die with battery test and average use
