I came from the V20 and I am positive the V20 manual mode can beat the S9+. Except for low lighting shots; the S9+ wins. You can check the V20 forums for my photos taken with the V20.
I see a few where the phone didn't seem to know where to focus on this thread but I'd say a majority of the photos are pretty nice. Sport mode really helps with quick moving toddlers and selecting a focus point works very well if needed to bring the focus in where you want.

Ouch, that one is a smeared, artifact loaded mess. I’m continued to be unimpressed by the cam. Seems way to much over cooking of images, super aggressive noise reduction, especially in less than ideal light. Zoom a bit and it looks like a watercolored painting.
