But thinking that the S9 is now on its half-life there are really tempting deals out there and prices are slowly going down.

Galaxy S series phones traditionally get 2 major Android updates and came with the chipset to make those updates count. I think a Galaxy S8 will serve you well for at least another 2 years.

Always buy Samsung flagship devices (newer or older) rather than the midrange ones which are cheaper but don't serve the purpose and you'll always be happy and content. Have a fantastic day.

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.

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 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?
