Samsung S9/9+

I have Kaspersky Battery Life installed, which doesn't do anything unless you ask it to, but when you do it'll identify apps that are consuming power and give you the option to kill them off. I find it useful to identify what's actually causing the issue, which indirectly helps to extend the battery life.

Has been ready for install for last couple of days (s9 dual SIM unlocked from Amazon) but I'm holding off just in case there are battery /stability/ camera issues...

I presume it's the exynos variant.

PTH2009 · 21-01-2019 12:34pm

Upgrade time for me

Thinking of going from S8 too the new S10 or whatever it's called

Hoping for Better battery life, faster processor and they continue the Sd card holder cause I have all my pictures/videos on one now

Im an S9* owner coming from a Nexus 6P and a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 before this, don't like Samsung bloatware and the general software interface including Bixby, for this reason I wont be buying another Samsung any time soon and would suggest you wait for the release of the Huawei P30 Pro.

BorneTobyWilde · 21-01-2019 4:58pm

Why is the camera so incredibly crap on these phones and the Note 9

errlloyd · 21-01-2019 6:12pm

My mains charger seems to have packed in. What's the best one to buy? Another official Samsung one or are there any third parties with the same fast charge.

MarkY91 · 21-01-2019 6:17pm

Kinda bored of Samsung. Had each yearly version since S5.

Anyone else thinking of jumping ship? Or maybe waiting until the S10 reveal?

I original hoped the pixel 3 would be good but the notch is horrendous

Thats sacrilege around here. The camera on the Note 9 is horrendous but god forbid I would express that fact.

Took me from the first time the notch appeared until the past week or so to stop despising any phone with it. I don't have a choice anyway as it's the future. So I'll just go with it. My brother has the Huawei p20 lite that looks decent. The battery life on them are meant to be amazing

I've been obsessed with getting a pixel mostly for the camera but the notch is just TOO big.

I'll look into the latest Xiaomi.

It really is, and for that price, it's daylight robbery by Sam Ng. Hurts my eyes even looking at photos from Samsung's Note and S9 range.

Can't you just turn off the notch. Who needs that two corners of screen that is there when it's on, might as well just turn it off and leave it off.

Yeah I only became aware of turning the notch off recently which eases me into the idea of buying a notch phone.

Nice, hopefully Eir will follow soon

tyres · 22-01-2019 3:25pm

Anybody out there using a third party camera app like Camera MX or something similar??

Really struggling with the S9+ camera to take decent pics.

Using AUTO mode on Samsung stock camera, I don't really veer to much away from AUTO as it can be a pain trying to configure settings ahead of taking a picture.

Any suggestions on how to improve my current, dull blurry photos????

morritty · 22-01-2019 3:55pm

I thought it might be an idea to ask eir's web chat about an eta on the update.

Never again.

Hello, thanks for contacting eir Web chat service. How can I help you?

Hi there, Since Android Pie has now been released in Ireland by Samsung. Is there any ETA as to when Eir will be releasing their firmware for the S9+?
[eir]
You wish to have a new mobile phone?
[me]
Never mind.

Samsung S9/9+
