I just pre ordered the Galaxy S9+ in Coral Blue! I am trading in my Iphone 6 and got the 100 off at best buy pre order so I am getting it for 664.99. I am excited, as it is a major upgrade from the Iphone. It is my first time going with Android so a bit nervous, but I hope everything works out well. I am tired of the Iphone, been using it for 10 years now, time for a change!

Hoping to get the S9Plus Monday/Tuesday based on the UPS activity. The good thing is I've got up to 30 days to decide: Return the S9Plus, or return the Note 8. I'm curious to see if we have better connectivity with the new S9 Plus - will see soon!!

So what were you using before this last month? I’m on the fence. I miss some iOS things but the X as good as many things are there are a lot of things that feel like hacks. I feel for the price I’m missing out on quite a few real options with Google and I know I’ll be missing speedy OS updates and then the typical Samsung complaints that go with having one. But man that S9 Plus is looking nice with that camera for low light. I’m getting my new puppy soon and I want the best Camera possible for crisp pics so I’m leaning Pixel or S9.

I'm torn too. I love my 8+ and I had the x but it was too narrow. I like the app quality, the updates, the fluidity, and how well everything syncs but the s9 seems appealing. It's always software vs hardware for me I love the Samsung hardware but their software experience isn't as good in my opinion

That’s always what gets me. The X is appealing but still seems lacking. I’m sure the camera on the S9+ will be exceptional but in a world that Google is creating amazing photos nearly every time you push the button all other devices will be judged against that. I feel a good reviewer should be able to judge and review the device on it’s own merits instead of ranking everything against other devices. Like does it take quick photos and keep moving objects in focus or do they get motion blue due to the camera being unable to fire quick shots.

I've got a Note 8. I'm not sure I can let it go, but it depends on the S9 Plus.

From a few reviews I've seen the 9+ takes quick shots and is great in low light, but it defaults to a slower shutter speed to let in light so pics with motion had a tendency to come out blurry compared to other cameras. My kids are still young so i hope it's not too bad. Action shots are a must with a toddler lol

So you know first hand what I’m concerned about. I’ve got a 4 year old, 2 year old and a new pup coming soon and I’m wanting solid pics. I’m thinking heavily on the 2 XL.

If this is your biggest concern, you really can't go wrong with the pixel. Compared to my last two phones (s7 edge, v20) the pixel camera is on another level.
