S9 Plus going back

[ThrottleJohnny]

I agree with all of what you said - the question is just: why would you buy an S9 over a Pixel? I personally hate the Pixel's screen, that's why I figured I'd try the S9+. But apart from that, camera-wise the Pixel is excellent (as is the Samsung), but the S9 is slower and yeah, the screen protectors are an issue for a lot of people - I'm sure I'm not the only one here.

The question is why you would run out and buy a Samsung phone if you already had a Pixel? lol Didn’t you have the same problem with your S8?

Seems to me you would at least wait for some real hands on reviews. A Samsung phone is NEVER going to be as fast or fluid as a Pixel lol. That’s not why you buy a Samsung.

And the screen on the Pixel 2XL isn’t bad at all.

And for those who are saying I’m lying / trolling: here are the ones I’ve tried so far. The Eiger is on at the moment but sucks just as bad as the others.

I never thought you were lying. I found it funny that you had all that ready to go, without first figuring out if the phone is going to work for you or not.

Hopefully you can get your money back on all that stuff.

Wow, lots of things to consider. If you purchased the Samsung protection plan and even if you did not, my advice is to at least wait 1-2 weeks and try it as you should still be able to return it. Maybe there is a software update coming...or maybe you might have a defective unit? Seems like Everytime we make Snap decisions without fully considering things we regret it later.
I do hope whatever you decide that you are happy...

Oh i don't have mine yet i was just checking if Samsung kept that feature from Oreo. I got the 9+ for $500 so if i decide i like my 2xl better I'm just going to give the plus to my wife. Win win for me lol

Samsung may have kept the feature but altered some ways to access it. Anyways, I would expect Samsung to either alter it to work like their previous popup windows, or alter their implementation to work like the native one. But there is a very high chance that you'll just get one or the other.

Liquid screen protectors work great and no sensitivity issues.

 

[krisqz]

Didn't they add extra sensitivity toggle in Settings?

Didn't they add extra sensitivity toggle in Settings?

I haven't found it on my Note 8s.

 

[lucianus_luciferus]

there is a setting for that in settings - advanced settings - touch sensitivity

 

[evernolasco191]

Are you sure no screen protector works?? That's hard to believe.

 

[tadpoles]

I'm pretty confident in the Otao tempered glass. It works great for the Note 8, I can't imagine why it wouldn't for the s9+.

 

[mat2514]

whitestone dome glass works fine on the s9 plus I'm also using a spigen case with no lifting.

I would love to get Elite, but sold out everywhere. Where did you find?

Zagg. I just ordered online

Well let's see, years ago I bought my first Google phone, Nexus 5. Then a couple years ago I bought the original Google Pixel XL( both phones are formers now). From Samsung; former Galaxy S6 and former Galaxy S8+, my current mobile Samsung Note 8.
Zipro for me you're not a troller or Google Pixel Fan #1 . This is very simple:
Are Goggle mobiles phones are fast? Yes, the fasters in the game.
What else they got?
The last Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 got a great camara. Yes, but really... this is 2018 my Note 8 got a great camara too. And the S9+ got a great camara too.
Did I take lot's of photos?
No.
Did Google Pixels 2 got the most great camara?
No, different needs and taste's regarding two or three great phones camaras is the game at present 2018.
What else it's got?
No bloatware..... but that's the reason of being the faster phone. So what's else it's got?
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...
Did I buy a next Pixel 3?
Yes, if it get a pretty good screen, not the Pixel XL 2 LG ops ops or no good no good screen.
Did I buy next Samsung Note 9?
Yessssssssss, as a matter of fact that's my next mobile.
Is my next Note 9 be faster than the Google Pixel mobiles?
No.
Zipro if you want to take back the S9+ go ahead. And never forget, if you want fast without bloatware, don't hesitate for a second the name of the game is Google Pixel.
And what's happens if Samsung manufactures a next Google Pixel?
Woooooooaaaaaoooo that's Led Zeppelin with Bonham resurrected from death.

I think S9 and S9+ do have it though.

 

[zipro]

Thank you - at least the plastic one I have on now seems to work fine now.

I am seriously thinking about returning mine too to be honest. I have the S9+ 128



Compared to the V30 and 2XL battery especially on standby is a bit of a let down so clearly the Samsung bloat is still doing its thing. I’m not sure that the new Oreo battery improvements are even working e.g. I have Facebook toggled off for ‘Allow background activity’ but it is still there running in the background. Also not impressed that it is just 8.0 when 8.1 has been out for ages, that does not bode well really but then I guess beggars cannot be choosers!



Mostly though I have just found it be a bit meh, hard to put my finger on but given the cost I am not sure it is worth it. On the fence still going to decide today, luckily I purchased from Samsung so I can return.
