Battery life won't be better. Exynos 8895 more power saving than Exynos 9810. Performance wise will be quite improved. Now I don't even have to use game tuner.

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).

hi there, so it means to say that 4gb on s8+ vs 6gb on s9+ will have significant better user experience on the latter? another s9+ user said that the new exynos 9810 chip is more meant for photography enhancement. but, out of curiosity as an s8+ user of 8895 chipset, i was wondering whether the newer chipset will have better battery life.. like example, i use heavy whatsapp, telegram, gmail, yahoo, heavy calls in one day, the battery on s8+ left 17-20% by 6pm cos i thought at least at 3500mah, can last 1 half day or so.. another thing about s8+ battery is that when fully charged before going to sleep, by next morning, the battery is left with 92-93%..i dunno whether it is normal or not cos it sipped the battery quite high even on idling / sleep mode..

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.

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.
