So I am a proud owner of a Note 8. I recently bought the S9+ because...well, I am just like that I guess LOL. I love to change phones, don't think I have had the same phone for more that 4 months. Money is not an issue, not because I am independently wealthy or something like that, but I rotate the $ in a tech fund I replenish through selling old devices on ebay. But enough about me..LOL. Wanted to give some thoughts on S9+ vs Note8 and dilemma I see:
Note8 Loves:
1. Love the pen, although I don't use it that often
2. Great screen. Vibrant, bright, big
Note8 Hates:
1. Battery life has really been marginal. I get anywhere from 2 to 3 SOT with 15 hours off charger.
2. Size - would love it to be a bit shorter. with case, tough in front pocket of jeans
3. Updates - still not happy about being on old OS
S9+ Loves:
1. Love the size. Even though it is on mm smaller, it just feels better. I know..sounds crazy.
2. Camera - definite improvement. SSlowMo is pretty cool...the 1.5 aperture is really nice in low light.
3. New OS. Really liking the refinement.
4. Battery life - so far, better than Note8. Getting about 4 to 5 SOT with 15 hours off charger.
S9+ Hates:
1. Had to set it up all over again LOL
2. Are the differences above really enough for me to shell out $1k for S9+?
3. Yes, thought about going to base S9, but fear that the much smaller size will be a huge downgrade.
So you can see the dilemma...if i was in market for new phone, I would go with S9+..hands down. Just not sure if it is worth spend the revolving Tech fund $ on this upgrade
Anyone else in the same first world problem dilemma?
