    Single camera on the s9, slightly faster processor with worse battery life on the Exynos chip, same amount of Ram, display is slightly better.

    OnePlus 6 has near stock Android and frequent updates too which is a big plus. It's the camera that would tempt me to Samsung. Decisions, decisions...

    I got S9+ which has double camera. Didn't realise s9 got single camera only, thanks for the correction.

    S9+ got better battery also

    Not really, the battery is larger but because of the bigger display there is nothing between them on battery life.

    That's from my personal experience after using S6 the for a year, then S8 for 6 months and now S9+ for last 2 months. I find S9+ battery best so far out of these 3 phones.

    Offer still there from what I can see. €560 + €18.98 shipping, however it does not ship to either Parcel Motel address or Ireland. Anyone know a way around this?
    Have tried googling but I'm only getting options for shipping something from Ireland to Spain or vice versa, nothing that will actually give me an address like parcel motel.

    After picking up a Huawei P20 about a month ago, hope the iPhone/Samsung owners like parting with their money. Forget the hype.

    Considering the P20 is closer to the S8 than the S9 (and costs more than the former) I wouldn't be so sure you've come out ahead there.

    I'd say so
    I bought my S8 from one last year and told loads of others who bought them as well.
    I also checked and they were authentic
    your warranty is with Samsung as soon as it is activated

    Anyone see any good deals on the Samsung Galaxy S8?

    Here is what I noticed last year. I was eager to get a deal on the S7 edge when the S8 was released. To my surprise, the S7s didn't really fall much in price when the new model came out. Also, the then new S8 model was being sold around the same price-point (maybe even a bit less I think I paid €550 from Amazon.it).

    So, FWIW it seems to be repeating what I noticed last year. Instead of looking for deals on previous models just wait a few months and snag the flagship for ~600.

    My S8 is still going great so will hold off and see if the same pattern repeats itself next year for the S10.

    I tried out the S9 in Vodafone yesterday I love everything about it except the curved screen. Do you grow to love it once you get used to it? Or do ppl find it annoying
    I'd have an otterbox on it anyway so it might block it.

    I am very much satisfied with S9+.

    Pros: Good battery, best screen, fast charge, awesome camera.

    Cons: pricey, some may find it huge to carry around.

    I am used to 6 inch displays so suits me alrite...using a oneplus 6 purely as it fits my budget...missus has s8+ and i like the display and look n feel...so if s9+ falls further may as well get it.

    Was very tempted by the eglobal offer of 646 for the S9+ before I checked their reviews. It seems as if anything goes wrong you're on your own. Phones aren't European so they're not covered by the Samsung warranty. Some people seem to have been covered by it but a lot haven't by the looks of things. Once the sale goes through egloal seem to completely ignore you. Think I'll pass with them and just wait a few more weeks/months for the price to drop a bit more.

    Looking at a comparison on GSMArena[URL="https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=8966&idPhone2=8161#g960f,g950f,*[/URL] S8 and S9 are almost identical, with less than a year between release dates.

    FYI, P20 is dual sim, dual camera, bigger internal storage, bigger battery. Samsungs don't have these.

    I don't think storage is very important for people generally, 64gb is enough with photos and pics saved to a cloud and Spotify for music. What do ppl need any more than that for? Gaming?

    Yes it's same super AMOLED screen. But screen to body ratio is higher in S9+, although by a margin only :)

    My S9+ got dual sim, dual camera, 128 GB + 64 GB storage (further extendable, as opposed to P20 Pro), i agree P20 Pro got 4000 mAh battery and S9+ got 3500 mAh battery. But screen resolution is better in S9+ with 529 ppi, whereas P20 Pro stands at 408 ppi. 6GB RAM in both.

    For me, notch on P20 could be annoying. Plus Huawei phones don't hold much resale value compared to iPhone and Samsung.

    Sorry, I didn't know we were comparing the S9+ with the P20.
    I have various phones with SD slots, and while they are great at expanding memory for photos/videos, they aren't too great at storing or running applications. Infact storing apps on an SD is almost a non-runner for most phones these days.
