If samsung keep the tradition.. means we already know mostly what coming for Note 9. Similar design, with elusive upgrade features.. glad that more likely money saved for keeping Note 8 this year and wait for Note 10.. unless samsung has a surprise for Note 9..

note 9 will most probably have the on-screen fingerprint scanner

I dont think on screen fingerprint scanner will gain much popularity without sacrificing display quality. Actually I havent used my fingerprint scanner at all for 2weeks after my finger start peeling skin. It still couldnt read properly. Been using Iris scanner and it seem to works even better nowadays.

I also been using bixby to unlock the phone. What I didnt like about bixby voice unlock is that it still try to use recognition which is not necessary. Why cant they make it so it will verify the particular short burst of voice and match the tone/pitch instead. I have been using bixby quite often ever since I discovered that it can even set off my samsung robot vacuum with just voice command. If only Samsung had the same thing for their tv and aircon (Im already using their triangle ac).

Anyone managed to find any video on speaker comparison between S8 and S9?

Try not to use too much of iris scanner as it uses a kind of light which is harmful to your eyes in long run.

I realized my eyes teared a lot after using it for a few days

face unlock is insecure. can be easily fooled with photo.
worthless and false sense of security.
better disable it and use pattern lock.

best is still finger print or pin code. since s9 fingerprint scanner is placed lower, it's easier to reach anyhow.

Is Whitestone Dome Glass good? That's a hefty price to pay for a TG IMO *sweat*

I just went into Samsung Service Center, paid RM99 to get their nano protective silicon which will self-heal if there's scratches. I think almost similar to clear-coat.

The other day i went to pavilion's mobile fitters.. i got a shock to know they hike up their price from RM185 to RM250 for S9 plus in just 3 freaking months!

I previously paid rm250 for hao5d and it cracked replace rm90 and cracked again. Silicon got a weakness after awhile it will have mark and stain so if u would replace it again it will cost u another rm99. Let say u replace 3rd time it will be rm300.

Based on the screen shot below its rm190 and rm225.

I have replace my clear coat 3 times I paid like rm185 + rm6 and u just need rm6 everytime u replace your sp for the lifetime of the phone.

I started using clearcoat since 3-4 years ago. Wrapped 5 phones with it and they price hiked up like crazy. 100% in 3 years?

I just feel not worth anymore..

During my times with clear coat for my S7E and wife A9 Pro, it was only RM170(matte) & RM 150(matte) respectively~

That time was totally no extra charges for unlimited time of replacing the films...

Things start to change over the time and charges are implemented for all sort of reasons...

Was attracted to this brand because of the compatibility for curve screen and lifetime warranty for the film, which include no charges for unlimited time of replacement...

But after the price hike & change of policy, it really hold me back from getting it from them~
Plus now I'm using my S9+ without any SP or TG, it seems like I'm starting to get used to it and for the 1st time truly enjoy the naked screen touch.... tongue.gif
*
Yeah exactly my thought. But I never tried using a phone with naked screen before. Doesn't it scratch easily esp hairline scratches?

Haha, so fast alrdy seeing shop taking in stocks for sells but damn dat price... Only TG and Loca glue for RM100... for full set add on another RM50 blink.gif

By the way, anyone know how to turn off the security pin/password prompt which saying that you cannot login using FP or biometric due to security policy thing? hmm.gif

Don't think can be turned off as that's the backup pin/password if it fails to identify your biometric and fingerprint. It a a good thing actually.

Guys, slow mo video needs to be really bright environment? I realized if i try to take slow motion or live focus, the image is very dark. Even a bright lit room especially for slow motion video, it's superbly dark.

Why huh? Is it cuz it's using the 2.4 aperture lens? But I thought all switch to 1.5 if it detects darker area?

Sadly, exynos under clock their processor to be on par or below snapdragon for s9+. It's part of their contract I think.

Nice... I think we should compile more s9+ shots with the setting used so that everyone can learn more especially with the pro mode.

im inclined to say theyre about the same as their counterpart. S9+ should be on par with S8+

I just watched a battery drainage test with p20 pro vs s9+ with other phones such as iPhone X, Sony XZ.. etc and I'm surprised by the results. S9+ is only 16 mins behind p20 pro which has a 4000mah battery compared to our s9+, 3500mAH
