Only if you have small hands, or hate rear fingerprint sensors in general. I have no issue with the location. It did take me a week or so to get used to the location coming from an S7 edge, but I can comfortably unlock my Note 8 and do so just as quickly as my S7 edge if not faster. Front...

I assume you've done this already, but think it through and decide if you can live with everything that comes with it (e.g. do you have a watch, DRM related purchases that can't be transferred, etc), or you may regret your purchase shortly after you switch. You should also be prepared for some...

Assuming you are a man, that is an incredibly sexist thing to say. My wife uses the Note 8, 5 grams heavier than your Mate 9, and has no issues with the weight. Anyhow, to the op. For what it's worth, my wife came from an iPhone 6+, and as I mentioned above she decided on the Note 8. She...

I am like many others and haven't had an issue with a case. I have always hated cases and refused to use them on my phones. I was never willing to accept the extra bulk. This phone is so slim that having a case actually improves usability. I do have issues tapping anything on the curve of the...

It's just your device IMO. I haven't done a lot of headphone listening, but I did try my s7e with my monster Miles Davis edition headphones. I didn't experience any of the issues you mentioned. It sounds as good as I expected, and probably better than my last three phones going from memory...

So flashing to btu allowed you to install Samsung pay from the galaxy store? I currently can't install it with whatever build my unlocked phone came with. Posted via the Android Central App

I don't think it's over sharpening you are seeing unless your phone is different than mine. What I see is extremely aggressive use of noise reduction. All the detail is lost and your left with a bunch of edges and no texture. Posted via the Android Central App

I find the stock camera images have way too much noise reduction applied. So much detail is lost with the stock algorithm. Posted via the Android Central App

I use ANT+ to sync with my Tanita scale, and I plan to get the ibike app to sync with my bike sensor and Garmin heart rate strap. Both ibike and wahoo have a list of supported apps for their bike apps. Posted via the Android Central App

You shouldn't have to live with it. My international single sim works fine with AT&T LTE. I am not that intune with all the international models, but I assume you verified it has all the appropriate LTE bands?

From my perspective it is. There are pros and cons to each, but the battery life is reported to be better with the Exynos (per gsmarena), and TW seems to be more optimized for the Exynos chip (less reloading of apps). You can also load custom roms if that's your thing. Right now the...

I guess I care more about the hardware than how touchwiz looks because like others said, it's so easy to change and make my own. It's one of the major reasons I chose Android over Apple. Posted via the Android Central App

I didn't get my device until April, but I don't experience any of the issues you mention. The only issue I've had was related to unlocking the device, but I've been able to avoid it by not installing the app that appears to have caused it. Posted via the Android Central App

Are you making assumptions that phone manufacturers are not already preventing you from discharging to zero? Just because the phone says zero doesn't mean the battery is completely drained. I regularly drain my phone's below 40% and I never noticed any significant degradation of the battery. I...

FWIW, I don't have any of these disabled, and I can get 2+ days of use out of mine with around 5-6 hours sot with always on disabled. Always on reduces that by about 25% for me. That's on par with my lumia 1520 which has a higher endurance rating listed on gsmarena. Not saying these aren't...
