Run it for a week or so...then the battery drain like slower water.

And Samsung did improved their processing by quite abit

Share some test shots around the neighborhood.

Some ppl are too hyped when it comes to SOT

Well here mine, been running game since morning till now.

I probably hit 6 hours SOT if I keep this going.

I'm on data not on Wi-Fi.

Total blackout wallpaper/background.. then again I don't believe it's helps significantly tho

I would say ur 4g full bar signal contributed alot to ur sot

Anyone activated a S9 on or after 16th April? Did you get 1500 points for Samsung Rewards? Is it applicable for new Samsung account only?

If can get 1500 points, feels like taking a bus to penang to get my S9+ from my sister.
*
i upgrade from s8+, confirm 1500 points is given

500 for 1st spay trx (instant)
500 for samsung members (points awarded after 6days)
500 for Bixby (instant)

Yeah auto.. some cropping but otherwise untouched.

It's improved for portraits but I'll still be bringing my cameras for those especially for low light.

Food shots though is pretty good.

For me the portrait shots look rather unnatural but that's kinda been a thing with Samsung phones for quite some time now.

Coming from Google's Pixels, i realised that the s9+ tends to edit my pictures too much. Algorithm problem! Seriously, they need to make the pictures more... natural instead of making them freaking white/pale.

I kinda like the low light and the food photos though.

I am swapping between cases. currently using Zizo bolt case. Have a spare in Spigen Hybrid Armor. I like Spigen a lot.

Yep. Even for my pixels I used Spigen since I can get them easier from Amazon in the UK. The quality is quite good. UAG is nice. Bulky + more pricey but nice.

I am trying out Zizo bolt and it feels quite heavy.

S9 camera meters hot... about 1/3 to 1/2 EV which is an easy fix by just pulling down brightness or in post. The bright side to this is that we get more headroom for processing.

Haha. I am trying to get used to it coming from my pixels. Well when I was reading around, few sites/forums came to a conclusion that Google has better algorithm compared to a lot of the phones in the market.

Gonna try out the camera more and compare the differences between cameras. I'd probably record some videos and compare them as well.

Hopefully I'd have the time to bring the phones out together. Currently one is enough for now.

speaking of VR, besides Gear VR, what other VR kit are compatible with the S9+? Google Cardboard?
