Technically yes. U can see many users lowering their display settings in order to preserve battery life on the IPhone X forums. But by how much I am not sure.

iPhone X got option to lower display resolution meh? Hehe

Turn off true tone lo. They say turning off true tone and reducing brightness to minimum conserves a bit of battery life ma. laugh.gif

Btw I never mentioned lowering the display resolution of the Iphone X. tongue.gif

Terra. Got free hk speaker and 64gb micro sd and rm200 discount.

Btw anybody try xone stealth protector?

Not really good. In short, try to get proper plastic SPs instead of the silicon/tpu ones as it wont be as smooth as plastic sp or tg.

just received s9+.

not much difference from s8+. made me regret.
daytime photos are meh. no difference with my worker's oneplus 5.
not yet try low light.

edge screen not practical as ever. distorts photos, videos and accidental touches.

fingerprint scanner is done right. (not using face recognition - insecure, iris scanner - scared spoil eyes).
so far no lag. need to install more apps and take more photos to further test.

meh.
not much improvement compare to s8+.
samseng getting lazy. no new tech. boring.
*
Like mentioned, its hard getting much improvements over something that is already so good. If you want to see big leaps or changes, trying changing your phone only after 2 or 3 newer iterations released into the market.

there is difference between s2/3/4/5/6/7/8.
but samseng stop innovating on s9.
milk customers to recover note 7 loss i think.
*
Haha... not true lar. They have already made back the money through the Note 8 by now. At least they maintained similar pricing to the S8/S8+ unlike their competitor, Apple which overpriced their Iphone X even with not much innovation in the Iphone X. Apple is bearing the consequences now looking at the poor sales of the Iphone X right now.

don't talk abt iphones here as it will provoke extreme butthurt. furthermore, iphone is already 2 years ahead.

the latest huawei got more innovation than samseng ler.

It wont, this is not an iphone thread. I disagree on your statement that the iphone is already 2 years ahead, it was but not now. Android is fast catching up and its only a matter of time before they could be on par with IOS.

anyway, limit ur comments to s9/9+.

Doesn't matter. I'm using the latest android phones as well as iphones and should know better. Those who stay only on one side and claim their's is better should come out of the shell they are hiding in and see the world.

Just tried with my old S8+ screen protector which came bundled with Starter Kits during previous pre-order. It matches S9+ perfectly. No need to hunt everywhere for screen protector already, yay.

That is a good tip for those searching or screen protectors. thumbup.gif

Yes, I think it is usually software, it depend on Samsung how to optimize it.
mine s9+ btw.

Try to wipe cache and see if battery life improves. Battery drain could be bad because you restored from your old phone.

No subsidy on the S9/S9+ price though. They must think we don’t know how to calculate, ha ha ha.

All along, Maxis thinks that their customers are suckers. laugh.gif

Not really bro. Digi has improved tremendously. especially with their 4G+ network. I would say that Digi is on par or Maxis has only slight advantage over Digi. But then again, look at the packages Maxis is offering on the S9/S9+, Im afraid they dont think so.

just would like to report in. officially owned S9+ blue coral 128gb  biggrin.gif

bought on last Friday during roadshow along with alcantara black. prefer the red version, too bad not available on that day.

set it up almost 95% as i used to set up previous m10p.

install whitestone dome. too bad not perfect install, accidentally shift a bit to lower side. hopefully when my rhinoshield solid suit arrive it wont lift the glass.

pictures as below  smile.gif

[attachmentid=9668770][attachmentid=9668771][attachmentid=9668772]

with alcantara case

[attachmentid=9668773][attachmentid=9668774]

after 48hours of use, i feel this is the best all-rounder Samsung phone. the only aspect kinda let down a bit, the battery life i would say far cry with mate 10p (even when compared to fw 1.32 which not as  good as earlier fw). understand it's 3500mAh vs 4000mAh but would expect with newer chip and optimization, at least should be much lower performance.
other than that, i'm satisfied. in terms of UI, coming  from recent m10p, Samsung UI looks and feel more consistent and polish compared to EMUI 8.

if wanna nitpick, here the list (based on my personal perspective)
1. the power button location on S9+ too high up. S9 and m10p location perfect though.
2. fingerprint location is good but too near with camera and on the smaller size. anyway it's leap and way better than in S8.
3. im wondering why Samsung can't install the S9/S9+ with  better selfie camera as in A8/A8+ 2018 series.

hopefully it's age well throughout my ownership period.  laugh.gif
*
Is the front facing camera not as good as the ones on the A8/A8+ series? hmm.gif

Iphone lost becouse of its smaller RAM size. But in real life you dont open so many games & apps at all at once.

I live in both worlds. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. This actually serves as a reminder to Apple that it should be upping its game by giving better hardware, irregardless of how well their ecosystem is designed to run.

If your main concern would be battery life, I strongly suggest you opt for S9+.

Ya, Samsung has never been great at power management but they have improved by leaps and bounds compared to devices of old. I think the only flagships with 4000mAh batteries are from Huawei thus far.

Maybe we’ll wait for that 16,000mAh battery Energizer phone laugh.gif

Correct bro. Battery management has never been one of Samsung's strengths but rather user interactivity and usability. Btw, have you given up on your iphone x? tongue.gif

Told you so already. tongue.gif But noooo.... as usual Ifags in the iphone forums will mati mati defend that the Iphone X battery life is better than the 7+ /8+. doh.gif

Apple should come up with IBrainwash. rolleyes.gif
