Samsung Direct: Galaxy S9/S9+ Official Pre-Order Thread

[uvarules]

How do you feel the Neo Hybrid will do on drop protection?

Just going by my Spigen liquid crystal experience on my S7E over the last two years, it should do fine. But I'm not necessarily a "dropper" and it only hit concrete once or twice in two years from lower than waist high. I like the way the phone goes into a soft protective backing and then you snap on the edging. Seems to work and of course any kind of wrong drop could invalidate that.

My S9+ arrived this afternoon with DPD in the UK. It's definitely heavier than my S8 and obviously wider but it feels good in my hands and I'm a 5"3 girl with little hands Just customising it now. Very happy with the 128gb storage. Need to go out and play with this baby.

I ordered 3/2 at about 0630EST.

No shipping confirmation on app yet. No email status updates.

 

[ejohnnyk]

Don't you think they'd post tracking info on your order status if they have shipped?

I agree but Samsung's store page is never very accurate. My package was delivered but Samsung says it's still in transit. And I didn't get a tracking number till a couple of hours before delivery. Not the night before when it shipped. Anyway, not my new S9+ unfortunately. The wait continues.

My credit card hasn't been charged yet either so it looks like Monday. Already got the case, new USB C cords and used today's ebay sale to order a new Gear VR.

My cc was charged as soon as I ordered

Yes, but it was not finalized, if you check your account now, the charge will probably not be there. They'll run it again just before shipping.

Assuming this is not Samsung US?

Samsung upgrade programme in the UK. Got both of my phones - s9 and S9+. Charging them up before I start setting them up. Even switched off they are a thing of beauty......

Fake news

Got both of my phones. And they are very real......

 

[DamianP]

i got my s9 plus this morning
it is amazing
but the delivery email arrived about 4 hours after i received the phone lol
and my uag plyo case arrived about two hours later. still waiting for the screen protector so i can take the phone outside the house

also something interesting...
there is an interesting adapter in the box
looks like a female microusb 2 to male usb 3
nice. this means i can still use my syncwire microusb lead

I got a notice from Sprint on Thursday that my phone had "shipped." From past experience, I know that just means the prepared a shipping label, but I figured it would ship sometime on Thursday. Come today, Saturday, and UPS still shows it as just "label prepared." So I contacted Sprint. They said it will ship on Monday. Still ahead of Samsung's timeline, but their email got me all excited for nothing.

That's awesome. Still waiting on Samsung ordered.

I ordered unlocked from Samsung. I no longer have the option to cancel and I think the phone is arriving today. Ordered 3/5. United States. I'll know in a few hours when I get home. I got a few packages from Samsung today.

Did you get it?

 

[ejohnnyk]

Did you get it?

No, I posted already that it didn't arrive. Got my new Gear IconX (2018), Black instead. Which, btw, are friggin' awesome!!! The wait for my S9+ continues unfortunately.

I hope it arrives before Wednesday. I'm using the S7 Edge currently and it's getting sluggish as of late, no matter if I factory reset, which usually solves the issue. Waiting....

I am also waiting for my s8+ and iconx (in addition to the s9+). Can't wait to try out the iconx.

Does anyone think we'll see some movement tonight on our orders?

I think so, because we're supposed to be getting it by the 14th.
