It was mentioned in the article that Windows supports H.265 natively. Well guess what, Windows removed H.265 codec at it's spring 2018 update. Though now you can buy it back with 1 Eur from their website. So no more native support for H.265. Weird behavior from Microsoft.

Before you make a decision on the purchase of samsung product,
keep in mind that samsung intentionally deferred the capacity expansion of DRAM production , even though demands for DRAM have been increased significantly .
Samsung just wanted to make huge profits by using supply shortages, while customers from many sectors suffered from the increased cost of DRAM.
Imagine if Intel intentionally reduce the CPU production for their profit......
Samsung should be judged for their unethical behavior.

Realistic1, 05 Sep 2018If you have S8 it's probably not worth it to go for S9, and... moreOn the S9 & S9+ you can remap the Bixby button to launch different apps or actions, there's an app called bxActions.
There's also been a bit of a backlash with the Bixby button on the Note 9 as this is currently more difficult, discussions with Samsung are happening right now, and we'll know more by the end of this month:

If you have S8 it's probably not worth it to go for S9, and S9+ is whole other story tho.
Samsung should also make phones that don't slow down so fast. And with less deisgn problems (Bixby) or at least actually listen their customers and allow them to reprogram Bixby button for something else.
S9 at least has better fingerprint scanner position, and stereo speakers.
And iris scanner is useless.
Samsung claims they listen to their customers by not adding a notch, or removing headphone jack and SD slot... yet Bixby is still here...

Exynos chipset has more peak performance but sustainable performance is shit.
Just like Apple A11.
Meanwhile Qualcomm has learned something from QSD 810 fiasco and they prioritize sustainable performance and developed far better co-processor like ISP, DSP, DAC and Neural Engine.
We'll never see QSD jump to 3500 geekbench single-core score in the future.

Since the S6, only the S7 had stuck with the flat screen. Wish that they new Galaxy series from the S8 forward would offer that option. Much better to work with than those stupid curved edges.

Samsung , either you add a better GPU design or simply buy a license from snapdragon for the GPU
20% less GPU performance is not acceptable when Apple is already faster than snapdragon , your Graphics run at half speed of Apple last Gen , and the next Gen is a month away
