Most expensive and worst mobile phone I've ever had!
I'm using bluetooth headset all the time and now shock - it can't work properly with S9+! This so called "flagship" turn off headset if you receive another call while you in the call. Be aware and stay away from this phone if you want to use it with bluetooth no matter is that headset, expensive built in car bluetooth or expensive motorcycle helmet headset!
Example: you are in bluetooth call in the car and your phone is on passinger seat. You are talking and someone calls you on the other line. This "super" mobile phone will disconnect your bluetooth headset without any sound notification that you are disconnected or that you have another call waiting (there is no ringing on headset or phone). You are continuing talking to noone or maybe other side will hear you if you are talking too loud so your phone mic can pick you up from passinger seat. You can think that other side talk nothing but that is only because he/she is switched to phone ear speaker and you can't hear it from the distance. In a meanwhile on the screen you still have call on waiting and option to answer. So, you don't know that you have call on wait until you look at the phone (that can be in your pocket, other room, bag,...). You that have two options to answer: slide on screen or press headset. In both situations you will answer call on waiting and drop other call (no option to put on hold) but call will be on phone, not on headset and bluetooth icon on the screen will be marked like the call is on bluetooth headset. If you want you can talk on the phone but if you want to talk on headset you must first tap the bluetooth icon to turn it off and than tap again to turn it on!
Imagine you are on motorcycle, talking inside your helmet and someone call you. You can do nothing, you can't know when the conversation ended and if and when you realize that, you must stop, take the gloves off...
One more thing, you can't use double tap on screen to unlock or lock phone any more (this phone).
This is PHONE and it should be used for CALLS!!! I don't need superb camera, fingerprint reader, face recognition,... if I don't have basics - PHONE that works like in 1990'!
What next to expect? Wait that Canon and Nikon lounch camera that can call someone but can't take pictures?

That’s how sorry ass Samsung flagships are ......iPhone users never even have to be bother with that word “LAG” since the inception of iPhone back in the stone age
You also never see stock android users like pixel or Oneplus mention about that word also because it’s non-existent just like iPhone

When you make 4 basic designs for 4 years 'ip6'
You will think thats its normal for that, and bad for other manufacturers, its just a perspective

"Perfect device"?
A business smartphone that can NOT record a voice call? Such basic operation. You are not serious or Samsung paid you.

Since I keep none in my my smartphones, I can even factory reset them just for a fair comparison. But then even if I had, it wouldn't be a concern as the "media" you keep in a smartphone filling the storage doesn't interfere in the day-to-day performance and speed. Its the UI, the unoptimized OS, the current required across the board from the battery all together make it slow. When its Samsung its primarily the UI and "unnecessarily-feature-rich, bloatware-rich OS" that Samsung stops working behind within a year or so on their existing lineup that prevents the phones from staying "zippy". The latest experience UI on s9/s9+ is the "best" Samsung ever developed but it still has a long way to go.

First they tried to make them last as long as possible as opposed to a day or couple hours. Then they achieved longevity and a lightbulb went off in their head that know one will replace their lightbulbs so nonmote revenue. Then came how do we decrease the lifespans. The majority of lightbulbs manufacturers colluded together osram, ge, etc. Unfortunately that's business.

Unless a a law is passed, its not gonna stop. 1.... moreI really disagree regarding on the S7E, I have the same handset for 2 years, and I didn't encounter that word "slower" on my mobile phone. maybe, one of the reason why you're is getting slower, coz you have a lot of " (nrop) - read it backward" in the phone. Just thank me if I'm correct.

Cover the camera in the picture of the back of the Samsung. When you’ve covered it up,you see what the Samsung s10 should look like, with that tiny bezel at the bottom and the infinity display

Anonymous, 28 Jun 2018I would like to believe your explanation but the evidence i... moreWell said !!!
These giant tech companies need to be responsible for electronic waste. We cannot continue to pollute countries like China and India with every increasing mountains of electronic garbage.
We already have a serious problem with low quality consumer goods which don't last and inevitably end up in landfill or in the oceans.
Garbage and our modern consumer oriented throw away goods mentality is going to bury us in mountains of garbage.
We must curtail this short sighted greed mentality that's killing us.
Sealed batteries, software that puts more and more load on the hardware and inevitably leads to its sluggishness is despicable.
If you keep doing that I'll just stop buying a phone completely.
Why is it my S4 is still running whereas my Note 4 is not ?
The only reason I don't use my S4 anymore is because the batteries wont produce enough current anymore and the browser does not support the Internet anymore.
Planned obsolescence is pure greed and lack of any morality or ethical standards.
