    I see amazon have both phones on sale on amazon.de

    S8 -395 delivered + 128gb card
    S9 -550 delivered + 128gb card

    Would I be better off buying the s8 because of the android software updates. Do Samsung stop supporting phones after a while.

    Coming from a moto G5 Plus. Or would the huawei p20 pro be a better buy from three mobile at 599e

    FWIW i have the s8 and i think it's immense. I couldn't justify the difference between the s8 & s9 for the price, the plus models would be an easier pill to swallow. I also have a 128gb card in my phone, although i have barely scratched the surface of the 64gb.

    The s8 is mooted by Samsung themselves to get an update to pie so you might well be safe for another 12-18 months.

    Think you meant to say the S9 because of the updates... Should get an additional year of security patches and perhaps 1 additional Android update.

    If it were me I'd go for the S8.
    Or even the S8 plus if not that much dearer as battery is a little bigger at 3500mah vs 3000mah (although so is the screen).
