OnePlus 3 vs Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Video - Oneplus 3 proves wrong with 6GB RAM

Oneplus 3 was launched on June 15th and Hit the market on the same day with a great specs and whooping 6GB RAM. All the tech showcased the product on Youtube asking if this is a Flagship killer of 2016? So what do you think ?
Today C4ETech has shared a video on Youtube showing a Speed test between OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but from the video we see that the Oneplus 3 is stuck in a awkward situation where the OnePlus 3 Could not compete with the Samsung Galaxy S7 edge which comes with 4GB of RAM. The video is to open all the application both on OnePlus 3 and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge together in two rounds using the timer. But what we see is that the OnePlus reloads every application which has opened in the first round But Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was very quick and didn't even reload the heavy game like Asphalt.
In the first round Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was very quick, it finished the test in one minute and one second, whereas the OnePlus 3 was 10 seconds slower at one minute and 11 seconds. With the second round, OnePlus 3 showed a lot of differences from the earlier round. The Galaxy S7 Edge has passed the 2nd round with 33 seconds by opening the same background apps which opened in the first round, while the Oneplus 3 took 1 minute and 10 seconds where it failed to open all the application which was in the background and it couldn't even keep a web page in Chrome.

New S9+ user, what should I do?

Okay so I traded in my Pixel 2 XL I came from iOS to android. What should I do first with my s9+? Things to disable, install etc.
Just play with it bro little. And you will realise yourself or just YouTube it tips and tricks for s9 plus

What do I buy next? OP6 or P20 Pro

Hey guys, new to all this so go easy on me. Over the past few years I have become a bit of a tech fanatic. I like to get a phone, use for a few months then sell on while it retains value. I'm March I got the S9 Plus coming from a Note 8 and from that coming from an S8 Plus. I love Samsung through heaven and earth but have become slightly bored with their design and UI. I have been strongly considering the Huawei P20 Pro and the OnePlus 6. Can I have your thoughts please? I have read/watch so many reviews on the P20 Pro and it's seems amazing the lag is the main issue as I do now want it. I don't game, I use a phone for emails, text, whatsapp, web browsing, Twitter, Instagram etc. ?
Why not ask in those forums? This is the Galaxy S9+ forums.

Agreed, definitely this over the OP6 or P20

If you are bored of s9 plus UI then undoubtedly you would definitely get bored of Huwawei's EMUI(yup, has bit of lags as well) and Note 9 UI will be the same as S9 plus(with slightly added refinement of samsung experience) . So as per your question and requirement, you are left with OP6. OxyGenOS is a well thought - out one with some nifty features. The OTAs bring bug sometimes but overall its a, fast fluid experience without bells and whistles.

Except coming from an S9 plus the OP6 is missing some key features.
Sd card slot.
Ip68 rating
Wireless charging
Stereo speakers (although there is a mod for this).
Sure the device is cheaper and some may not care about those features but once you have grown accustomed to them very difficult to give up!
For example, me i dont really care about the IP68 rating but will not purchase any device without the other 3 listed.

True. Had the OP asked for a comparison I could go on and on including your points. But it seems he is bored of Samsung UI, design and trying to choose in bet^n P20 Pro and OnePlus 6. Also based on his additional requirements, I can assure that he would get a pleasant experience with the OP6.

Why won't you just install another launcher on the S9+? That should give you plenty of options to configure how the phone looks. Not all will change of course, but how many time do you spend in the phone's menu's
I had the Mate 10 Pro and P20, had issues with screen dimming on both phones on most all apps, great phones aside from the screen dimming. The screen would dim a couple of seconds after launching any app.
This bothered me to the point of switching to the S9 Plus, if you want a phone that works like its supposed to the S9 is it. Nothing beats the Samsung screens and design. It just works...
I had Mate10 non pro (now stolen, it was a fine Phone, but cam was not naturally for people.).
After them, my old Oneplus 3 (happy with Miui ROM),
then a Xiaomi MiA1 (boring stock Android), then MiMix2s (really good phone, but missing Netflix HD. For me Netflix HD is Import cuz i have 1:10h Train every day).
Now i got the S9+, this is the best package and also the best compromisse!
I've been also a true Samsung user for a long time and getting kinda tired of limitless samsung features and services that prevent the phone from being super snappy and eat up batterytime. Flashed Resurrection Remix ROM on the G-965F and it gave a complete different feeling i.e. near and dear to my liking but still not found a cam mod that works in portrait mode. Rooting, flashing ROMs and the like don't come without sacrifices.:cyclops:
Owning both G-965F and G-9650 models for months now and Pixel 3 XL/OnePlus 6T are in my wish-bucket list.
I had the P20 Pro and sold it mostly because I could get the S9+ for 400$ new. It has its fair share of quirks....It is noticeable laggier than the S9+ and the camera was not great when just trying to point and shoot. You could take great photos with it, but you had to fiddle with it every time to get the shot right.
The battery life is absolutely phenomenal though. The battery could easily last me 2 days. Huawei also has the same problem as Samsung though, and it is a big one for me, updating in a timely fashion.
I am waiting for the Oneplus 6t and Pixel 3 XL and will most likely be switching to one of those and giving the S9+ to my son when I do.

Pixel experience

Any chance that s10 lite users can get a pixel experience rom? It's been a long time since this model has released and I get it that maybe its not that accessible because of its price but as compared to flagship s10 and s10 plus heck even s10e got a pixel experience port, now that s10 lite is cheaper and older, many people have it, believe me I've been snooping around the internet for some hope and I astonishingly found alot of people with this handset looking for roms other than lineage os preferably pixel experience.
