Ok noted.

The carbon fibre on Rhinoshield slippery or better grip if compare with Ringke Onyx?

Thanks.

Used to have ringke onyx during s8 time. Compare to Rhinoshield carbon, I prefer overall Rhinoshield feeling in hand. Solid and pretty gripy.

I tested this along few diagnostic stuff on the roadshow before I make a payment in front of the Samsung staff just to minimize chances of getting lemon unit.

They allow you to test the phone before making payment? My experience with them before, pay first then only the they will pass the phone or device to me to check. But that was more than a year ago and before. Recent one I bought online so can't really check.
*
When they unseal and boot up, I request to check on my own. Thoroughly check the metal frame, devixe up time, then camera then fire up diagnostic tools. So far never had problem before dealing with Samsung and Huawei checking before pay.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 24 2018, 07:50 PM)
Pay or not pay, they would change to new unit if you find out your phone has issues. No question asked. The only term and condition are check in front of their eyes, and don't leave the store before you finish your examination. Once you leave the store with your phone, you still have 50-50 chances to get a replacement when you go back to the store. Otherwise, proceed to warranty claim.
*
Agreed.

I see. That's good to know. This is my 1st time buying from them.

After hard and long thought between whitestone dome and hoda, i finally went for the later and purchased hoda tempered glass from sakurazz. I can't really compare it and whitestone dome, but seriously I really satisfy with it. The glass is really top quality - well i use hoda as well for my iPhone X so I am not that surprise. Plus point the friendly sakurazz helps the installation so I don't have to take risk if I buy the whitestone.

Tested with 3 cases with no issue - samsung protective standing cover, ringke onyx and x-one case.

One thing I realize with S9+, even with power saver mid which turn ON the speed limiter, it still blazing fast & smooth for day to day use.

On previous Sammy devices, felt slow when switch ON power saver

What do you prefer Samsung Internet Browser or Google Chrome? What Samsung said the Samsung Internet has better battery drain and fastest download speed
*
Samsung internet browser beta.
If not on Samsung phone, chrome will be better coz Samsung browser kinda lag a bit when pressing new tab button on non-samsung flagship phone.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Mar 25 2018, 11:20 AM)
Ya. According to some reviews, it was said that S9's performance is near to S8/Note 8's performance when you turn on the speed limiter.

I see. That's good.

With the power saving mode on, or just normal mode?

Using m10 or m10p, no need to be cautious about battery and power saving. Really endurance champ.
I agreed that continuous usage s9+ pretty good, but standby draining pretty bad.

I'm using aukey with qc3.0. able to fast charge my S9+ with Samsung, Blitzwolf and Aukey cable, BUT when connect to new wireless charger (FOC from Samsung roadshow), not able to have fast wireless charging.
Wonder what went wrong.
When connect the wireless charger to Samsung stock charger, able to fast wireless charger without issue.
