This is one of the better ones I've seen, not just because it's generally favorable, but because the dude seems to know what's important in a modern device and what phone freaks like us want to know about them.
Sorry if this is a repost, but the vid was only uploaded a couple of hours ago and a quick search of the forum did not turn it up.
You probably should of included the link to the actual article, which seems to be 4 pages long

wow those 2d pics are the worse of all the 2d pics i've seen from this phone yet

You're right, of course. Sorry for the oversight.
Looks like a solid review..still some concern about the camera tho. It seems a mixed bag when it comes to video record. Some people say its excellent some say mushy. Same thing with call quality..anyways Friday can't get here soon enough
I've got my preorder and am pumped to get this phone! Even if the 3d isn't perfect, I really don't care. The phone looks sweet. Plus, I'm still using a Hero so I am ready to get rid of it. So slow and laggy. Can't wait! Nice review!
So, we're capped at 60fps on this? I would bet that the score would be higher if it weren't capped at 60.
Or is the benchmark itself capped (Quadrant)? I see the SGS2 also capping at 60 during the tests.
Or, is this a limit of the display itself?
One of the review screenshots clearly shows HD 1280x720 video capability.
Atleast there's 1080p playback. I'm sure there will be a fix from HTC since the hardware is capable of it. If not, the devs will do their magic

Yes but that 720 p ..our evos can do that now. albeit not very well..I don't really care as long as it does it well..1080p on a phone isn't much of a difference on a phone screen

I didn't think there was an issue with the 720p recording, it is the fact that it cannot do 1080p (1920x1080) 2D recording.

With the videos not looking as good as i had hoped for at 720....1080 isnt needed. Praying for some type of "less compression" for faster memory cards or something.
By far, THE BEST review I've seen for this phone.
This is not due to ANY kind of opinion from the reviewer, but simply due to the attention to detail given to the review. Even if the reviewer HATED this phone, it'd still be the best and most detailed I've seen yet. Looking forward to checking out this site more often.
Why is this the first and only review or place that I've seen this mentioned
PhoneScoop Review said:
Lastly, using an optional MHL adapter that’s plugged into the handset’s microUSB port, we’re able to watch 1080p videos stored on the handset directly on a high-definition television set. Not only that, but you can get a mirrored experience as well, which brings the handset’s entire platform experience onto the big screen.

what an interesting response....
Hello everyone, I've made a short video about a couple of cool apps I stumbled across.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz_dPzcWWYw
Speak to it assistant and dsp manager.
I encourage you to check them out
Such fun, LOL. Great app. Thanks for sharing.
I have speak to it assistant ans Jeannie on my phone. both work great. I use volume+ for my sounds needs. it dramatically increases speaker volume and quality. you can do the same with headphones or BT headset also.
How is dsp manager listed in Market I don't see it or I am just overlooking it.
Thanks

Been using Speak-to-it for about 6 months now, and it is really good and getting better all the time. I have emailed with questions and requests for features and while their response time isn't necessarily the greatest, when they do respond they actually give you solutions that work.
+1 for Speak-to-it
Speak to it is great, I just wish it had the Iris UI...eventually Android will have built in "Majel" AKA Google Assistant though, and it should one up Siri.

Yea that is strange, I originally got the app on my hd2 then it got moved to my galaxy note and now my transformer. It must have disappeared from the market in that time :s

Haha no worries man, we're all about sharing on here! Cool vid btw
Siri is like Legos. A child's toy that anyone can have fun with.
Reality is that it is still a toy. I have watched my buddies mess with it, repeat their requests, get pissed, yell at it, etc.
I haven't seen a real world use as unreliable as it is.
So, clones would be like Duplo blocks?

+1 to that! Last night i was in the car looking for Rite Aid and my friend was like "imma ask Siri" i started laughing. When she said "where is the closest rite aid" Siri literally could not understand what she was asking. She tried several times before i had enough and used googles speech search "Navigate to Rite Aid" and it immediately gave me turn by turn directions to rite aid. Just to be an ass i kept closing it and searching over and over again and never had a "I don't know" problem LOL .... but Siri worked when she had to call her mom to complain about how much siri sucked LMAO
Never mind.i figured it out

Ok, I just think it would be cool if someone was able to make a Pokedex UI theme. I'm not a huge fan or anything, I just know that thousands of people would instantly get this app if they thought they could turn their phones into Pokedex's.
JUST SAYIN!

Really great idea, it would be nice to see a pokedex theme.
should be pretty easy to make too,perhaps using the slideshow feature to move the pokemon through the pokedex.Well in fifities here and me and the son had some great pokemon battles,still into Mr Potter and Co and definately lord of the rings series.

Actually found a way to display the dex rotating which was pretty bloody easy really,well at least on my galaxy S4.Simply use the built in frames widget if your firmware supports it and it will rotate them,the drawback is that you can only display each pic for seven seconds before it rotates to the next,anyway just a though in case anyone fancies trying it

Yeah, they're really annoying. It's the voLTE indicator. Turn voLTE off to make them go away.
Nooooooooooooo. VoLTE is a huge leap forward in codec (voice) quality. You probably don't want to eschew the feature per se. Instead, grab an app to suppress the notification icon that annoys you.
Haha thank God I was getting ready to shoot skeet with this s5 ha no jk I couldn't I guess I got to get used to it huh?
Oh those are annoying. Must be specific to that rom then or something I think.

Hello, All! I take a lot of low-light video of my musician kid performing in small clubs. The problem I'm having is that the brightness is always at max when I start recording. So, I move the slider down and it's great... until I touch the screen again. Then it returns to max brightness, so I have to keep adjusting it throughout my video clip which is visible in the final product. I often need to touch the screen while taping to snap a still photo or zoom in or out. This issue is maddening and is making me consider buying a different phone which is too bad because I still really love my S9+ otherwise.
Is there maybe a setting somewhere I'm not aware of? Anyone else have this problem? Thanks, everyone!

this is a recurring issue throughout all of the last 5 or 6 Samsung phones. The only way of getting around it is to use a non-standard app. I dont video live shows nearly as much as you do, in all likelihood, but i was at Armin Van Buuren on 2.1.20 and i had the same issue. Same issue with Slayer a few weeks prior to that, concert prior to that was outdoors and during the late fall with plenty of light, so that wasnt an issue then.
Try out some different camera apps in test conditions so you wont be let down at the next event.
The cameras on the S9 and S9+ are very good, but i will tell you that some friends of mine at the aforementioned Slayer gig had far worse seats than me and had FAR better pictures and videos with his S10. The difference was striking.
