And speaker on S9 is better...S9 best compact phone at the moment and you can get it for 500 euros with a trade-in and some promotions. Will get S10 for sure, but only 6 months after launch.

Thoughts about the V30 vs the S8+? DO you think it was a good choice?

S9 has better low light camera compared to the S8 as it has f/1.5 compared to f/1.7 on the latter but that doesn't mean the S8 is bad in low lights in fact it takes stunning low light shots. You can visit the following link for the camera comparisons between the two:

Gino76ph, 18 Oct 2018I did hear about battery life issues with the S9. But surel... moreIt's the Exynos version of S9 that has battery issues. The first week was the worst for me. But I think as the phone learned your usage pattern, it became more efficient. The funniest thing is that disabling fast charging seemed to make it better.
In any case, I hope Android 9 brings further improvement. The Note 9 has identical chipset but released under 8.1. Its battery (taking actual capacity into account) is actually great.

If I can get almost the same camera experience on the S8 then I will go for it. If the change to the S9 camera was incremental compared to the S8 then I'll blindly go for the S8. My main concerns with the camera are:
1. poor low light performance (front & rear cameras)
2. dreaded purple or orange tinge in low light or extreme sunny conditions
3. over and underexposure
4. unresolved details especially around the corners
5. lots of noise when zooming in (under any conditions)
6. No OIS or (the very least) EIS in both the front & rear camera. (I'm doing more 1080p videos @ either 30 or 60fps than 4K)
7. Audio recording sounds as if the people talking have a blocked nose (mono).
8. Unnatural bland or over-contrasty colours (in Auto Mode)
9. Poorly optimised portrait shots (background blur looks artificial)
So, Does this sounds the S8 can easily handle? Or go for the newer S9?

But surely with battery-saving tips I've learned in the past that can improve a lot. If I can get the Exynos version (I live in the UK) then battery life I can "manage".
Why did you say Xperia phones have heating issues? I've never heard that before.

Gino76ph, 17 Oct 2018Thank you and I appreciate all the comments. At the mome... moreI had the XZ1 before this but the camera was disappointing, specially in low light the pics were quite blurred with lack of details due to no OIS. Whereas the S8 is concerned it has one of the best cameras on smartphone and takes stunning pics in any lighting conditions. As far as the XZ2 and S9 are concerned I would suggest you to go for the S9 blindly, I agree that Sony gets faster updates but those updates don't change anything. By the way my S8 is already running on October security patch.

At the moment my heart is set between the current S9 and a slightly older Xperia XZ2.
Having second thoughts with the S8 simply because of the fingerprint scanner placement and the fact that updates maybe even slower now that it has been relegated to an old flagship.
Thoughts about S9 vs XZ2?

So I think it has great battery life if not the best. Don't go for the mid range A or J series Samsung phones they are no where when compared to the camera quality of S8, it's a stunner no matter what the lighting conditions are. Rest is upto you, after all it's your choice & money.
