And with my experience of battery saving tips I find myself still having 30% by 9pm using intermittent YouTube, news, weather, sync on, Google Maps, browsing (via Samsung browser), social media (except Facebook). So I still think it is just about above average. And I believe the phone itself optimises your usage and learns what you are using and doing to your phone.
    I just wish the volume via headphones is a bit louder.

I'm currently on Oreo 8.0.0 with Samsung Experience 9.0 w/ the September security patch. It would be better if the UI have some features such as:
          1. Ability to edit the Google Search bar
          2. Google Lens integration in the camera app.
          3. a wide angle option in the camera app (I could not find one so far)
          4. Google Chromecast support
          5. Search function in the Settings could be a bit faster.
          Other than that i'm fairly satisfied. I will now start saving for a Galaxy S9+ next year.

              I know I will notice some things that may need improving and I will forward all of them to Samsung. And upon seeing what's in store for 2019 i.e. the Samsung Experience 10.0 things could and should only get better. I would rather see a UI that is fully optimised with features that are useful to us. Rather than a half-baked, poorly optimised OS,
              Saying that, before I bought my S8+ I almost bought a Pixel 2 XL as it was discounted but still significantly more expensive than the S8+ deal. But I resisted and so far im happy with my baby.

I regret wasting my hard earned money on buying the XZ1, I could've saved it & got the S8/S9 much earlier but better late than never. So far I'm happy with my S8 after the Sony fiasco :-)

I've always favoured good/above average camera quality and I agree with you based on my own experience and the countless videos I've seen Sony never learn from complaints and critcisms of their phones. From poor low light, to lots of noise to zooming-in to slow shutter speeds you name it. I'm hope I'll be happy with an S8+ coz I just bought one on ebay. And as Samsung is currently doing a trade-in for their phones I may end up getting an S9 Plus either in these coming days or at least next few weeks. I appreciate all the help I get from here I do hope the Samsung community continue to be bigger and the developers to continue to give us a much more refined, useful, productivity-based, performance-driven, non battery hugging UX for us to truly enjoy.

That's why I was really upset with the Sony XZ, XZ1 as they had really bad camera (specially in lowlight). I also have a 2015 J7 which is my secondary phone & is still in running condition. If you wanna buy the S8/S8+ go ahead as they're available at great prices right now.

                      BTW, I've cancelled my order for the V30 and awaiting a refund. In the next 24 hours I will be purchasing my very first Samsung device since the S5 Neo a few years ago.

                      Thoughts?

Sony won't ever learn from their mistakes in the camera department no OIS, pathetic image processing, blurred low lights pics with lack of details to name a few and the same goes with their latest XZ2 which is also pathetic in terms of camera quality. I mean you pay such an hefty amount and get disappointed in the end. The S8 has a great camera and till date I haven't even used the flash light while taking any low light shots cause it captures tons of details and pics are really crisp and clear. V30 is much better than any Sony phone hope the minor issues you're talking about the camera & video quality of the V30 will get resolved by an update. Enjoy your new phone.

                              Don't worry about updates. Samsung & LG already have more features than those in stock Android. That's why major updates are insignificant for these devices. The Oreo update brought nothing new to the S8 tbh

And the 5MP selfie camera seems worse than my Moto X4 or my Xperia XZ in terms of overall quality. And the slow-mo video looks like 480p quality which is just really poor.

I have the normal s8 and used the v30 from a friend for a week and I got about double screen on time, the only reason I wouldn't buy any lg phone is the poor after sale support, zero security updates and major updates take forever to arrive. If lg would fix that service-problem they would get more fanboys. My personal opinion is that al the major brands are overrated and you pay for the brand and not the quality. Look at nokia, solid phones with good quality and support but the name is no longer a fashion statement so people don't want to buy them.

                                        The v30 is as good as an s8. Congrats
