Except DisplayMate does NOT make a ranking.
They produce Shout-Outs where they make their analysis. Absolutely nowhere in their analysis do they say "this display is better than that one". In fact, they don't mention ANY smartphone other than the one they're analysing and the ones that preceded them from the same brand.
But they do share their results, in addition to their analysis and you can make a spreadsheet on your own and compare the values.
From their Pixel 3 XL Shout-Out
"The Pixel 3 XL joins four Top Tier Smartphone Displays: the Galaxy S9, Galaxy Note9, iPhone X, and iPhone XS Max, that all provide close to Text Book Perfect Calibration Accuracy and Performance that is Visually Indistinguishable From Perfect, so they All received and maintain Concurrent DisplayMate Best Smartphone Display Awards."
What you just quoted shows that your basis for your statement that the S9 is better is false, since at best, all four are equal. However my case is not based on this quote - all being visually indistinguishable from perfect does not mean that they are all equal in an absolute sense - and they are not. From a practical standpoint, they're all the same in that humans can't tell the difference. But machines can, and one is objectively better, and it is the Pixel. Use their data, do the analysis.
Your claim is outright false.
Samsung HAS provided all updates within the 30 days of the update being released publicly on the S9. They haven't skipped a beat. Not in Europe.
If they have in the US, maybe start by removing carriers from the equation. In places like Europe where the updates come directly from Samsung and carriers have no power whatsoever, the S9, S9+ and Note 9 have all received the monthly security updates timely within the month they belong to.
I'm unclear on what you think, "on time" means. Right now it's November 29th. Do 100% of S9's either already have the November update, or the ability to download it if they want it? Samsung's goal isn't even monthly updates, they have published that their goal is quarterly updates. I remember trying to help someone through trying to get updates this past spring on the S9, their device was two months behind. Exynos and Snapdragon devices get them at different times, different carriers at different times, unlocked is on its own schedule, etc.
To be clear, my definition of on time is that it's available to 100% of devices within the same calendar month as the patch is labeled. IE the April update is available by April 30th. That's similar to what you sated in your last sentence. That is Samsung's goal too on carrier versions. They routinely miss that goal on at least one of them.
And one failure to hit goal, on one version, anywhere is enough to falsify "all".
2 major updates matches the 2 years of legal warranty that Samsung is forced to provide by Law in Europe.
Google offers an extra year? OK, good.
Which phone needs more desperately updates? The Google one 'cause it's using a version of Android that's 4 years behind the rest.
Two is one number, three is another. One is larger than the other. The first three sentences of this statement looks like you were conceding the point, but then you switched into trolling. The Pixels are always running the latest software. Pie has been publicly released for almost four months and Samsung has pushed that update, officially, to zero phones. Including the Note 9, which was released AFTER Pie.
Samsung's version of Oreo in itself is more feature rich and better thought than Google's version of Pie.
And Samsung's version of Pie - even while still in Beta - is already better than Google's version of Android Pie is and likely Android O will be. But I'm sure iPixel owners (all 5 of them) will enjoy gestures that don't s*ck, a system-wide dark theme (heck, themes at all), and all other things that Samsung is already providing and Google is nowhere near close to achieving in their version of Android (because they're more interested in forcing their services on people since that's where they make their money anyway).
I'm not sure where the disconnect here is.. but you are aware that Samsung isn't good at software, right? Like they had to have Google come in and help them get up to snuff on their UX, which made major improvements at that time... only to start regressing shortly afterwards. No? Ok, we can agree to disagree I suppose - but I'm going to ask again... wtf is an iPixel? Is it a straw man you're inventing? Because it's definitely not the device we're discussing. You do need to make sure we're discussing the same topic before trying to make claims for or against anything.
The Pixel camera NEVER kicked the crap out of a Galaxy. Not in a million years. Maybe it does for teenage girls and people with zero understanding of photography. But people who actually know how to take a photo have NEVER praised a camera like the Pixel one, which delivers unicorn-barf covered photos without any trace of colour accuracy but TONS of post-processing and heavy handed forced unrealistic dynamic range.
This statement is an obvious lie, completely out of touch with the consensus of 100% of the professional analysts and reviewers that have compared them. The hyperbole gives away the fact that you know you're saying something that no one will believe if you were to simply make it as a concise and logic based argument.
If your statement is instead that you prefer the S9 camera to the Pixel 3, well that just an opinion, and opinions are fine. But you postured your opinion as objective fact. It probably also means you don't know anything about the technology or how to use it, since the differences between the two shooters are very clear.
This is a list of issues for the Pixel 3. I asked for you to cite your sources that the iPixel is constantly crashing. Since there is no such thing as an iPixel, since you lied, you can't produce that. You said you could cite DOZENS of articles about the iPixel slowing down and crashing and also indicated that you believe the Pixel 3 has worse battery life than the S9. I asked you to cite those claims, you did not. The XDA article that you linked does not address any of those three things. You know one easy way to know that? Read the damned thing. I did. And the fact that it doesn't say what you claim it says, and that you didn't produce any of the DOZENS of sources that would back up your claim, means that your claim is not going to be accepted until you have evidence .
1) There's no such thing as an iPixel, please focus on the topic at hand. 2) If you're going to use a source, read it, understand it, and figure out whether or not it supports your argument. 3) Saying that you know something, when you don't - is misrepresenting your knowledge. That's dishonest.
Ahahahahahahahahah you can't possibly believe that BS.
Would you care to provide ANY evidence of Samsung doing that? Also...Samsung doesn't force you to have a Samsung account. Google on the other hand...
This was about AI integration, and you switched it to privacy. So read through the privacy statements of the two companies. Let me know if you can tell the differences in the language.
The S9 is objectively a better device for 99% of the people.
This is false for two reasons. 1) The word "objective" does not mean "in my opinion". 2) You have no way of knowing which device is better, because you a) apparently don't know anything about the devices b) apparently don't know anything about the market c) have surveyed zero people d) wouldn't know how to analyze survey results even if you had them and d) apparently don't know that generalizations cannot be statistically applied to a number outside of two standard deviations from mean without having sufficient evidence to justify that extreme conclusion.
You could have said, "I think more people prefer Samsung's experience over Google's" and that's an honest statement, and probably what you would have said if you were attempting to be honest. But you instead lied twice in one sentence.
The iPixel is only good for Google fanboys and long-time iPhone users. It excels at absolutely nothing and provides the users with a limited and locked experience. One that makes anyone wonder what's the point of having that phone instead of an iPhone.
I don't know what an iPixel is, so I can't say if you're correct about this or not. Since I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist, I would have to conclude that you're incorrect. If you are instead talking about the Pixel 3, and stating that it excels at nothing - then apparently you haven't heard about it's reputation for camera, updates, software, etc. Whether or not you agree that you enjoy these things more than you enjoy Samsung's implementation is up to you - but to pretend that you're unaware of the positive qualities of a device, simply because you hate it - is dishonest.
The S9 on the other hand does everything the iPixel does better
We've already discussed a number of things that falsify this statement, prior to you making it.
Last two points.
1) The OP already made their decision. None of this matters except for point 2
2) We all, the readers of this sub, know that you're lying. Not that you're mistaken, but that you are deliberately trying to deceive and are knowingly making claims that are false. If you think that everyone should just sit back and let you lie all day and not respond to it, that's not how this works. There are very few members that I will state are being dishonest, rather than being mistaken. I won't say that you are lying unless I can prove that I know you know something is false or that I know you have access to information that would allow you to quickly determine whether or not a claim is substantiated. Furthermore, your reputation as a liar precedes you from the blog. This kind of nonsense that you're doing here is not going to be tolerated or respected.
So I'm sure were' going to do this again, but I hope we're not. I'd much rather spend time with honest people, discussing things in good faith, even when we disagree.
