Just play the S9+, to be honest I really like it and it feel smooth even the demo set.

Any known issue on this phone? Feel like want to grab it.

Hi Andrew,

Based on the official Samsung forum:

https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-.../bd-p/uk-galaxy

the top 3 issues for S9/S9+ are:

1) S9 speaker phone cutting out on call
2) SD CARD ERROR ON S9+
3) Mobile HDR not enabled & Black crush

I only have problem with call drop. I don't use the SD card so I can't comment more about this. For item no. 3, I no even tested it yet. So far, tested with digi and maxis, both same problem. Means, no matter I call or receive call, call will disconnected for call within 10 minutes. Before the latest firmware update (ARCC), it drop more frequent if compare with the latest firmware update.

Some of the forumers I ask in Lowyat also have similar problem if you refer to V1 thread, but seem like no one take it seriously.

Everyone else got this problem? Especially for the 1st one - call drop.

If you are already on the S8+, not so much changes to make the upgrade worthwhile. Note 9 is on the way already btw.  tongue.gif

I long ago selling off my S8+, using LG G6 now. Not interesting with Note series as I don't use S Pen. smile.gif

The battery life is similar like S8+ and I have never encountered the call drop problem.

Of course its not gonna happen in a phone anytime soon. It's a point that a friend made when we're talking about S9+ only having 3500mah batt and P20 having 4000mah.

In my case that 500mah didn't matter as its just minutes of extra batt life. To really make a difference, I'll need at least double... so its back to powerbanks.
It's not bad per say.... it's just expectations vs reality  laugh.gif

Most of those youtube drain test still has the exynos S9+ in the uppermost positions among flagships.

Never encountered call drop nor micro sd card issues.
So far best stylist designs, good stereo speakers, best camera especially on night mode, Atmos Dolby system with headphones, Animoji n many features.

Battery life on exynos better than sd 845.

Great to know this. In this case the so call issue is isolate case to me. smile.gif

As for battery life if similar with S8+ then I am very ok. smile.gif

Using dual SIM while roaming in Singapore, no games or navigation, just emails, web browsing and WhatsApp with occasional FB. Is this good or bad?

Oh, and forgot to mention, phone was on max power saving mode from 11pm - 7am, whereby it dropped from 100% to 95% even with both data and WiFi switched off.  But yeah, Androids will be Androids.

Data is always on for me. Haha
