last time i used plastic SP for my s8+ so now decided to use glass for s9 plus, clear coat or cheapo PET will have the nail scratches there.

Nowadays those PET has self healing where there are scratches. Can't be too deep though.

But glass one easily break for s9 cuz of the curve at the side. Tried it and felt money just flew away

I found out that AOD is kinda battery consuming even though I only used the side bar only..

I agree. The battery got better after the latest update.

Clearing cache does help a lot.

I have P20 pro, g7+, v30+, 1+6 256gb, s8+, s9+ 256gb, note 8 exynos n sd 835 so i knew which one battery last n standby longer. Now waiting for u12+.
All are on depend on personal preference n usage but note 8 after fully charged with starting used around 10 minutes drop 10% & others just drop 2 to 5% ,only.

That's a lot of phones u used there and all flagship phones!

So among all, which has the best battery? The best camera? The most user friendly? The recommended phone?

Anyone still experiencing call drop?

Getting a bit frustrated as I was in conference calls which lasted around 50 mins and it dropped twice.

P20 pro best night shoot n battery superd.
V30 + wide angle + battery.
S9+ camera day shoot n more like on sd 845.
G7+ sounds systems is the best, selfie no wide angle n battery so so only.
Op6 best os smooth but easy get bored on it.
Note 8 best spen but lagg n battery not as good as s9+.

Depends ur preferences and usage,  seriously
P20p great for low light and battery life
G7 impressive boombox sound
S9+, dual speaker, manual tune camera lens, samsung pay

imo, choose phone based on YOUR preferences and needs. Not due to the phone features
*
Ok thanks.

I'm thinking to switch to G7 as it's using SD 845 and it provides features like s9+ (besides proprietary apps like samsung pay/health etc)

But i heard very bad reviews on G7. Is it true if compared to s9+ or just difference of few mins?

I saw few review saying g7 battery worse than g6 n v30. I did research more on v30.. v30 much better option if u want sound, camera and battery balance.

S9+ suck in standby, 1% lost every hour but SOT not bad for flagship tier.. continuous usage I can get 5h to 6h with 4g, wqhd, AOD and auto brightness.
Yup.. I notice that as well.. I'm thinking maybe schedule it.. I don't think at home nd AOD

To turn off background data, go to the app setting, mobile data.
To turn off background activity, go to battery usage, choose desired app and turn off allow background activity. (I only found this option at battery usage)

I only turn off samsung apps like galaxy app and themes.. 😁

P20 pro for users like photos night shoot n battery performance superd.
G7+ for users like to listen music, watch movie, using headphones for listen the greatest sounds, the single firing boombox speaker fanstatic with loudest than others phone's, wide angle shoot n battery performance on par.
S9+ for users like curve, infinity screen, stereo speaker, more features n battery performance on par.

Now waiting for u12+ n xz premium 2.

Thanks guys.

One reason I am considering LG phones is because of the wide angle lens. I don't like the telephoto lens on s9 plus because 1st, it is f2.4 and gosh, why super slow mode, portrait mode has to use the 2nd lens. 2nd, I rarely use 2x optical zoom. I briefly used mate 10 last time and I like how they use the main lens to shoot portrait pictures. No need to walk few steps behind or only work in well lit environment.

I downloaded but I think basically it's just a nicer lock screen app. Haven't dived in to check all these functionalities it offers yet.

If anyone uses it, maybe can shed some lights here? What is it really for?

Hi guys..

Can I know what kind of car charger you used?

The current set I have us LNDIO Qualcomm 3.0 car charger and a Rock cable. It's still charging slowly.. not sure does cable plays a role here that is causing slow charging. Please advise smile.gif
