I had Pixel 2 XL and P20 Pro, but still I kept my S9+, because is the best phone overall and with the most features.
Pixel 2 XL is overrated, the screen is mediocre as well as the camera; you will get really noisy pictures and videos.
The P20 Pro is more decent, but video quality is bad and the screen is not that good.
I saw also the U12+ which seems really nice, but HTC hasn't been so good with monthly updates so far. (I also had the U11+).
Overall, the S9+ is the best package you can get.

I can't agree more with you on highlighted text. I purchased 3 different pixels 2 xl 128gb and all with same poor results. Screen is worse than bad (ridiculos for sure) and i don't know what people did in youtube reviews but my Note8 pictures are much better overall, especially in sharpness and noise
Dedinitely go for the s9+

There is no competition when it comes to screen quality .. S9+ is the best ..
Although I would have opted for pixel 2xl if it had dual sim .. So I opted for S9+ and very happy with the phone..

I don' t know, is my 1st Samsung ever because I only buy phones with double speaker arrange, and is the first time that Samsung does this, so I decided to give a try and so far I'm really happy with the phone, and I can tell you that I'm extremely picky with my daily driver, because it has to come close to perfection.

Most of the reviewers have zero idea of picture quality and photography overall, but I'm really surprised that everybody was just spreading lies about the "best camera" when honesty is not that good. I was pretty disappointed when I got it in my hands and see the real quality of the pictures.
And not to speak about all the random quality issues the phone has, which makes me doubt I would buy another Pixel anytime soon.

is s9+camera good enough?
I was just going through the same debate, and after some research I found a lot of people complaining about Bluetooth issues on the Pixel 2 XL. I also found many people saying it doesn't work with Fitbit device's, so it was an easy decision for me. Coming from the Note 8 I am really enjoying the S9+.

Camera is good enough and is the most versatile one.
All the phone's cameras have a problem so far:
Pixel 2 XL - Grainy and noisy mess even in medium light conditions
P20 Pro - Good picture, horrible video
OP6 - Decent results, but still not able to compete with the big boys
The only phone that I would probably consider besides the S9+ is the U12+, but the lack of headphone jack and the poor update policy of HTC in the past months could be an issue as well for some people.
Overall, the S9+ offers the best hardware in any smartphone, and the software it would be a matter of preference, but still is smooth and nice.
None, wait for the Note 9. But I think you already bought.
I have both currently, running out of storage on my pixel so bought the exynos S9 plus.
I do love the pixel but the expanded storage on the samsung, the screen, the speakers and just overall added features have me hooked. Have barely used my pixel since i got the S9 plus.
Just make sure you dont get the snapdragon s9 the US and CAN ones all have locked BLs are are worthless in that regard.
And before anyone says it, i have no issues with battery life on my S9 plus.

& bttrylife of exynos s9+ is well known.
Hello,
I have S8+ (exynos) currently, but going for vacations next month and was thinking to replace my current phone with new S9+ (exynos) , mostly due to better camera (zoom etc.) but also for more ram and cpu performance. I was about to buy it when I encountered review on youtube showing that battery life on s9+ is much worse than s8+. This is bad info for having 2h shorter SoT than s8+ is meh..... So my question is, do I really have to worry about that when it comes to s9+ (exynos) or it's the same. if it's the same then it's fine to me, I can live it but worse .... not really.
Mine is worst. The only thing that makes a bit of difference for me is put it in mid porwer save mode.
It's not much of a upgrade from s8 plus I'll say wait for note 9 or s10 before upgrading. U'll loose money and won't feel any difference whatsoever. If u want to buy right now look for other options. But better is to wait and keep using s8+
Don't buy bruh. Very minimal upgrades and battery is poorer than note 8. I purchased it and went bk to note 8 aftr 7 weeks.
I have an exynos s9+ and i don't have any battery issues whatsoever
My average is between 5 and 6hrs of sot, but when i charge it to 100%, the average is between 6 and 7 hours
My max was 8 hrs, and that's pretty good
If you have the money, i wouldn't hesitate to buy it if i were you

To each their own. I just switched to the S9+ from the Note 8 and I'm loving the dual speakers, better/brighter screen and better camera. I only used the S-Pen a few times since launch so it was a no brainer.
If money is no issue, then go ahead. S9+ is a great phone, but the upgrades are minimal from the S8+.

I find that my S9+ has much better battery than my S8+. That S8+ was horrible battery wise.
S8+ was lucky to get 24 hours uptime. s9+ can get 36 hours uptime. That's huge for me!
People say the upgrade is small. I don't feel the same way. Sure the outside of the phone looks very similar but the inside is way diff. More memory, better processor, better screen, better fingerprint reader, etc. How are these components not a better upgrade or worthwhile upgrade? If your main concern is the outer shell of the phone, no, don't get new phone. If your main concern is performance, yes, get new phone!
Hold your ground nd wait for Note 9's release in early August with a big battery. My experience with d exynos gs9+ isn't that gr8 comparing to the snapdragon.
Thank you guys, so smart move would be to wait for Note9 release, the only issue with that phone will be the money it will be priced high for at least few months, while S9+ is in acceptable price currently.

There's always going to be a brand new phone right around the corner. If you wait for the Note9 might as well wait for the S10+, and if you wait for the S10+ you might as well wait for the Note 10 and so on and so on.

May be worth looking into if Samsung has an offer for part-exchanging your S8+ for an S9+ in your country. I did this here in the UK since they offer a £300 discount on the S9+ if I return the S8+, bringing the price of the S9+ 256GB down to £629.

The battery lasts longer on my S9 Plus than my S8+, both Snapdragon. SOT is 6 to 8 hours. Based on what's been posted in this forum the Exynos variants are getting more negative feedback over battery performance. As far as the S9 being worth upgrading over an S8? Combine hardware, features and processing, it's a bigger improvement during usage than spec comparisons indicate. At first the S9 Plus seemed pretty much like the S8+ but since it's been my daily driver for a few months I'm more impressed and comfortable with the upgrade. For me the Note 8 and 9 (rumored) to have a 6.3 inch display are just too big especially when one considers the S9 Plus is so close at 6.2 inch. I guess S Pen has some merit but I doubt I'd use it. I won't upgrade to the S10 based on what's leaking but more than likely I will when the Galaxy X arrives early next year.

See it totally depends on you what you actually want in your phone.
S8+ is premium class phone
-best camera
-Samsung's UX
-good looking
-amoled edge to edge display
-glass front and back
Soo yea its a premium phone. So don't sell it
Pocophone f1 is a budget phone with flagship specifications
It may not look premium and eye candy like galaxy s8+, but it is for power users who don't have so much budget.
I personally want to buy poco f1, because of that specification with aggressive pricing . And currently I am using redmi note 3, So yea for me its a huge upgrade.I will use custom rom on this thing as i am doing with redmi note 3.
See i not i favor of poco or Samsung,but its totally upto your requirement. What you actually want.
Well, I don't have money for now. I would suggest going for this phone. Because Samsung is selling crap these days. And moreover no custom and AOSP ROMs. so using Samsung just for the camera and few other things is useless.

You want to replace a flagship with a budget phone? I would never do that it makes no sense to me.

No you shouldn't. S8 is a flagship device and it will beat poco in many departments. For just SD845 leaving S8 is not practical. SD835 and SD845 don't have that huge of a performance gap either, games will perform more or less same.
But yea, if you're broke for some reason and need some money but can still afford a 300$ device then I think it's a good idea.
I .b2.WJQwould do it for the bootloader. Samsung makes beautiful flagships but to me, what's the point if the bootloader is locked. As you probably guessed I live in the U.S (near Cleveland) and couldn't spend $900 to buy a International phone. So I'm stuck with a G965U and a 2 year plan with Sprint
buy a Pixel 2 XL
if you're into casual usage and use your phone as it is, use Samsung
if you're into modding and flashing, maybe this is a good one although we don't know how massive the development of this rom can be
I'm thinking of getting this and I've just sold my S9+. That is a premium phone but I found I don't care for the curved edges, I was over protective, in case it dropped etc. The camera is great, particularly video.
I've also noticed that resale values of the S9 have dropped considerably, you can pick them up for £500 for the plus model on some sites.
What appeals to me with this phone is the power. The camera seems good, and similar to the One Plus 6 on some reviews. Also, for taking a photo to post ok social media I really do wonder just how much of a difference people actually notice now.
I like the fact it doesn't have a glass back, so more durable and less likely to want to stick a case ok it. I know the screen is Gorilla Glass 3 so will stick a screen protector on.
This phone offers so much for the price it's unbelievable. I'm pretty much certain I'm going to get it and not have the associated anxiety of if I damage my phone its going to cost an arm and a leg to fix. Be keen to see some drop tests.

Just go for it I sold my note8 now i am in love with this device...camera is great battery is better than note 8 and phone unlocking speed is insane...the battery life sucks on note8..but this phone goes 1.5 days with some good usage.
The only thing i am missing from note is ip67 water and dust rating which xiaomi will launch in future devices
If your budget is not for a S9/S9+/note9 then why not. People are going "mad" to get this phone so for the 2-3 next months you can easily sell as a used one for a good price if you don't like it. Sure it is not a premium phone like S8, it is better in some specs but in other cases fall far behind S8.
Galaxy S8+ its not that old, you dont really need to change your phone unless its broken and you are looking for a new one, if you have a good and functional S8+ stay with it. Now if you are like me, that its still rocking a nexus 5 which the battery life now its less than 1 hour SoT then a poco phone could be a good replacement
So we made the jump in favor of the S10 leaving the previous phone behind. Why ?
I personally spent the last months between S9 and OP6T trying to escape from the Samsung supremacy but always find myself returning back to S9. The OP6T isn't bad at all but just feels unfinished when it comes to the special features which could make it more a flagship than a flagship killer.
The S10 in comparison is for me far superior in every aspect: look, feel, build quality, DISPLAY, stereo speaker, atmos, sammy features, CAMERA AND ITS APP, VR, jack, power sharing, wireless charging, shealth, ...

I do a lot of video recording and recording in hdr10 plus is a big thing to me. plus all the other parts that you already said. And the camera has a super steady mode that literally takes any jitter out of the video. I am coming from the pixel 3XL. I will miss the timely updates but I won't really miss root. The only thing I did with root was a theme with substratum and use AdAway to get rid of ads. and since Samsung already has substratum without Root is pretty much not an issue for me.

Yes. I too am a phone whore. A dirty phone whore. Plus, I miss having a flat display. Which is why I bought the One Plus 6T but the camera on that thing SUCKS and there's no wireless charging or a headphone jack. The S10(e) has those things along with a flat display. Plus, it's easier to hold in the hand than my Note 9.
I'm still going to stay with the Note series because of that S-Pen, but I won't be getting a Note 10 (or whatever they're calling it) until next March when Exynos model prices drop. I'm gonna have a rooted Note 10, goddamn it. This T-Mobile S10(E) will serve me well until then.

Pretty much the same here but I went from the Note 9 to Pixel 3XL and now on to the 10+. I won't miss root at all and AdHell3 is great for ads and disabling any unwanted apps.

Not me. I was really close to pulling the trigger but one thing stopped me from doing it: the slow charge on s10. I need super charge feature of the Huawei cause i really depend on it. Otherwise 2 very excellent phones indeed. And this is coming from someone who had the note 9 before the mate.
Pre-ordered the S8+ two years ago, now I've got the S10+ coming today. Seems every 2 years Samsung makes a lot of improvements to their phones. S3-S4, S5-S6, S7-S8, and now the S9-S10. At least it's a predictable trend.
Hey guys, actually I'm using a s9+ for 1 month now. Got it with a contract for just 470 euro. But this night I got a MI 8 from Amazon WHD for just 170 Euro. So I'm thinking about selling my s9+ for about 400 Euro and using the Mi 8 instead. What would you guys do? Can't decide . Both phones are great. Tested the Mi 8 few months ago.
Both phones are great, maybe you can tone down the display to FHD+ on your S9 plus for a week or two. If your eye doesn't hurt, go with it. Some just had a little bit pixel sensitive, some had speaker preference, just try what's best for u.
Personally, I can't bear 3 days of FHD, love the stereo speakers, rarely use camera.

FHD was activated on default on my s9+. Using it since I got it. No issues so far. . Yes, any of these phones have their little advantages. S9 stereo and headphone jack but Mi 8 with great face unlock (soo good when you used to it) and imo the better os. Tjaa, um not making progress with my decision . I'm planning to use the phone for few years. So the most important thing would be reliability for me I guess. Idk about updates. I'm using the s9+ with oreo and immediately deactivated updates bc the new pie with One UI sucks and is lacking of features which oreo got.
Seems to me, u don't care bout gimmick. QHD, wireless charging, samsung added software doesn't concern u at all. Mi8 would be perfect for u. Price different would be just added bonus.

Hm guess you're absolutely right. But with the brand new s9+I got 2 years warranty directly through Samsung. The Warehousedeal Mi 8 got Amazons service. But I'm not sure what they are going to do if my phone will be broken after 1.5 year.. ^^ I mean with that cheap price I could give it a try. That's my main concern. . My last Samsung a galaxy note 4 lasted 2.5 years for me before I broke it myself because of changing the frame. :/. And I'm not sure if Xiaomis will run so fine for such a long time. and heard bad stuff about MI 8s low light performance. I'll run few comparisons with GCam on MI 8 and on s9+.
Well, u can buy 3 Xiaomi for the price of 1 Samsung. It won't have to last 2.5 years, just buy 1 every year. Bonus latest hardware.
I own both and still using them both. The answer is yes.

Thank you. Even if I only paid 170 for the Mi 8, I'll send it back later. Pretty sure that the s9+ is the more reliable device for many years. (and 24 month with contract for 460 Euro in total was damn a good offer.) I could imagine that the mi 8 will run in some problems in the future. And I never thought that the difference between full HD Amazon prime and no HD (Mi 8) is that crazy! I know it's just small devices but sorry, the video quality with the Mi 8 is a no go and helped me to come to a decision. Also mi 8s low light performance is bääh. Glad with my s9+now. Thanks all fr your answers.
