They do get degraded when uploading due to compression being applied in order to save bandwidth.
I'll likely share a proper Google Photos album with better examples, especially in HDR situations
I laugh when people keep flapping between S and Note line. And then laugh even harder when someone says they are upgrading from Note 8 to S9+. Totally different lines of phones. Wish people stop comparing both.
Switching from a note 8 to an S9 is a downgrade in my opinion
You have no idea what you're talking about. Have you had a Samsung device lately? Security updates are at least one month behind Google. Which is a lot better than how it used to be. The S8 line is already getting Oreo so all in all Samsung is doing a lot better job than other manufacturers out there.Don't know how anyone will feel about what I'm going to say. But people need to look into the past and realize that Samsung. May be all fine and dandy in the hardware Dept but keeping there phones up to date with the newest software and security patches is way behind the curb a year and a half to be exact. And Samsung along with the networks are in it only for the money to make sure you have to get the newest Samsung just to have to new software. And buy the time you do get updates for what you already have your another one year behind most of the other device makers. (Pixel, OnePlus, huawai, ) even Apple updates the phones on time. I believe Samsung has a great financial deal with the network providers to only benefit themselfs and the network not the customers.
Newest software they're behind, but not on security patches. My S8+ is on the February security patch just like my Pixel 2 XL is. As for the newest software version, I feel like you're a beta tester with Google. That can be good at times and bad at times. I feel like the software is always pretty solid with Samsung. Pros and cons.Don't know how anyone will feel about what I'm going to say. But people need to look into the past and realize that Samsung.

I'm going to keep my Note 8. It's been a solid performer for me. I like where Samsung is going with the S9/S9+, so I'm stoked to see what's in store for the Note 9, but for now, I'm still loving my Note 8.
I have never understood all the fuss over the placement of the fingerprint scanner on the back. It took me less than a day to get used to placing my finger in the correct spot and it's worked perfectly.
My Note8 went from flawless on Day 1 to being one of many that developed a freezing problem while on standby starting in November. I'm definitely trading it in for an S9. The regular S9, not the plus (despite Samsung not treating the two equally).
Doesn't bother me at all now. The finger print sensor on the s9 looks too low on the phone for me.
