Indeed, I'll be buying an unlocked phone, outright. They seem to be periodically replenishing stock on B&H, so I'll be going that route. I just hope I don't wait so long I end up with a refurbished device, lol.

I'd say that's quite impressive, lol. Thanks.

Not yet, lol. I'm just waiting for the price to drop a little bit before going ahead. I've kept going back and forth between it and the S9+, but the quad DAC is hard to pass up. I just wish I knew what to expect with battery life. I'd be going from 3450 mAh on this Nexus 6P to 3300. Although, I...

The thing that tempts me about the Note 9 is the rumored 3850 mAh battery, which is quite a jump from 3300 mAh. There are also rumors going around that the Note 9 will have 8 GB of RAM, as well as a 120hz display, a la the Razer phone.

I'm on T-Mo band 4 in NYC, and I'm in the market to upgrade from my 6P at some point this year. Even though my phone just got April's security patch yesterday, I'm actually quite bored with stock at this point. Those of you with an unlocked S9+, have you noticed any improvement with battery life...

How many GB of storage is available out of the box on the 64 GB variant?

I just played it, it works fine.

Exactly. +1

I keep hearing that EMUI doesn't support Smart Lock, which is a useful feature, and that notifications aren't great on it. I'd wanna go for it for the battery life, but a lot of people down it cause of the software.

What headphones are you using to take advantage of the DAC? Please report back about your battery life experience with it. Enjoy!

You're welcome! Same.

So there's a new video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuTi4PVUxeo up from PocketNow where Jaime Rivera talks about the Mate 10 Pro. He basically says that he loves the phone, but mentions that the audio through the dongle is "bad". Is this true, and if so, what's bad about it? Does it sound...

How's the battery life on the U11+ with that LCD screen? I know LCD's are more color accurate, but they're also more power-hungry when compared to AMOLED, which I'm wary of. Are you able to see the screen in direct sunlight at max brightness? Any problems with reception or call quality? It sucks...

Thanks for this. I was all set to get the SoundMagic e80c to go with the V30+, since the higher impedance triggers the DAC. My favorite audio implementation is BoomSound from HTC, but given their struggles, I don't see myself getting another HTC. Do you have experience with BoomSound? I know...
