Keep the 10 or A9?

[Armeniandave]

Went back and used the A9 all weekend before I kept the 10 and decided to keep the A9 and send back the 10. Having gone back and forth between the two for the last two weeks I think the 10 is maybe 10% better. Day to day use they are equal except for the battery which is better on the 10. I've reconsidered and I don't think it's worth the $370 upgrade price over the A9.

For me the battery life is a pretty big deal. Also, while the a9 has a good camera the 10 is definitely a step up. However, you are correct, in day to day use, it's hard to see a difference between the two.
The a9 is a very underrated phone.

I'm still using my M7 which looks and runs like the day I bought it. I do keep up with these forums just in case. But I have no desire to get rid of my M7 yet. But if something does happen to it I will probably get the A9. just can't justify the cost of the 10. Not for me anyway.

I too still have my M7, and am keeping it in case the kids need a phone. I think that the A9 is a wonderful idea, but I still worry about battery life. If I was not keeping my M8 as my backup, I would probably go to an A9 as backup phone.

Agreed on the camera and battery. And hat tip to the person who suggested the Spigen Crystal screen protector. While it doesn't completely eliminate the screen polarization issue, it makes it usable. Instead of the screen appearing off, it now looks like its at 75% brightness.
