QUOTE(RoyRF @ Apr 24 2018, 08:53 PM) Hello folks, s8+ user here..if upgrade to s9+ got any significant upgrade especially on battery usage & standby time? Would love to hear some feedbacks before switching..hehe thanks! In my opinion, no. If you're upgrading from a S8+ to a S9+ in the hope for better battery usage and standby, you'd be disappointed. On the plus side, the 6GB RAM on board makes everything smoother in the S9+ compared to the S8+, the fingerprint sensor location makes more sense, and the speakers are much better. As for the camera, yeah, portrait shots are better but the S8+ camera was plenty capable too in my opinion (but I'm not a serious photography enthusiast).

You can try to disable band 7 when indoors. *#2263# Stack 1 (or 2 depending which sim you use for data) Band disable LTE Tap on Band7 once (no more * beside band 7) Try and see if it improved. Repeat 1-3 and reset when you're outdoor so that you can enjoy 4G+.

Battery life very hard to compare ler... everyone running different config... different stuffs installed. My own case is I fully charge the phone before I sleep.... with AOD off, power saving mode on (mainly to disable background network activity) and wifi on ( "keep mobile data turned on" being off)... 7 hours overnight drain 3% battery. But my usage especially pokemon go memang rape the battery...by ~3pm, my battery left ~40%.... I'll charge again until 90% By 9-10pm, battery left 40-50% again.

I concur with Sniper, battery life is different for each user based on usage patterns, apps installed, etc. But I would say that with my same apps and usage style I got more out of the S8+ compared to the S9+. I do experience a tiny bit of lag on the S8+ and I realised this as soon as I switched from the S8+ to the Note 8, with 6GB RAM. Everything felt snappier, and it was the same with the S9+. That’s not to say the S8+ lag is unbearable, in fact, some people may not even feel it at all. It’s very, very minor.

Yeah agree, battery life is really depends on how user use it and how they set their setting. Like mine, lasted more than 24 hours, since I last unplugged my phone on Tues morning at 4am and now I'm left with 29%. I have FB, WA, Insta, Gmail, Mail and some other stuffs running background. But I usually close all before I lock my screen and notifications still coming in.

QUOTE(taf89 @ Apr 26 2018, 08:05 AM) guys, any alternative usb type c cable that support samsung fast charging? which brand is reliable? thanks  Can try UGreen. Seems not bad. Can get it from Lazada since they are having sales. But shipping out from China tho, might take a week.
