Or w... moreIMO if you have the budget, Samsung flagships are almost always the better deal than midrange phones up to one year later. Because the “midrange” are by no means cheap and cut quite a few corners. If you can wait, the Galaxy S10 family is coming soon, so you can expect a significant price drop of the S9. I concur with the assessment on battery life without fast charging, but I’m hoping it could be even better after 9.0 release.

      Do you think the S9 updates that you received helped with battery life and performance/memory management and camera enhancements?

            2. Read no.1, super quality sound.
            Same in headphones mode, but I use my own eq setting and with Dolby at music mode. Also using oldschool buds instead of these new ones.

            3. Alittle but switching to pro mode (auto) fixes that.. should be a new update out soon to fix it, just like for note9.

            4. No, and battery is ok once you disable fast charge option. Longer stamina at least 15-20% longer usage, acts as if 3500mah then. No perf lags either- it has a extra option to reset the phone once a week.

            I have a exynos ds version, ost on avg 6-8hrs.

                Have been using this phone over a week and has to say this device is wonderful. this clicks some really good photos.

                  Signal issues common problem . I’ve burned through an s8 and in the last month 2 s9s - all requiring antenna replacement. Within the first few weeks! keep dropping LTE signals. And two different providers used. iPhone tested same areas and no issues. Anyone heard of antenna problems?

I really hope they will optimise the board support package of the Exynos version to fix the battery issue. This really is the perfect phone for me except in that one area.

                          When will be the PIE coming out? Hopefully it will fix some issues like battery consumption, screen burn and etc.. .

                            I wanted to trade-in my old Xperia XZ for a brand-new Galaxy S9 via the website but I have read so many negative issues about this phone in particular:
                            1. "Black smear" and blue ink/tinge on the screen (especially when brightness is on low)
                            2. Video recording audio is poor (clarity & bitrate)
                            3. Photo underexposure/overexposure in Auto Mode on times where it should not be.
                            4. Dead pixels on screen
                            Plus the usual battery life/performance slowdowns/memory management combo.

                            Are these issues still present? or have they been fixed with the latest update?

                                  It is not just the actual RAM only 3.3GB but also the free RAM less than 1GB

                                    I love the S series phones from Samsung but I think the pixel 3 and the 3XL are doing things smartly when it comes to meeting the users demand. Majority of people today buy phones because of the camera but at the same time not everyone has big hands. So, If you are making a phone of a smaller size, in this case the S9 compared to the S9+, please keep the camera same. The S9 do not have dual camera which is sad for many people. I know that, everything on both big and the small phone can not be 100% similar. However, the S9 already has lower battery capacity. Thus make the screen resolution lower to compensate for the smaller battery so that it can last just as long as the S9+. Pixel 3 and 3XL are good example of both of this not to mention the price difference is also greater! I am not trying to say that pixel is better that samsung but it was a just my opinion I shared to see something right in the future from the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S series smartphones. Thank you.
