hello guy, just got my s9+ and use it for about 2 weeks
I disable most of the bloatware and bixby
Daily use
Youtube,messenger,whatapps,gaming(pubg,bh3)
Can only last for 3-4sot, is that normal? I believe there are people can do 6-8 hour sot, everyday need bring powerbank go out and at least charge 2 time in a day
Quite sad about it.
Another issue i want to ask is the live focus features, i know if shoot at night you can change the shape of bokeh effect, but problem is, how come live focus at the night are so dark, but automode the photo is very bright and clear, but only in the live focus, is that normal?

Any s9 user want to group buying case or lens from moments?

The shipping cost is extremely expensive
But it will be cheaper if more people share together
https://www.shopmoment.com/shop/photo-case/galaxy-s9/walnut

The shipping cost is 40usd
Hope can find more people and share

Anyone interested?

How about screen brightness, FHD or QHD?
U can adjust the bright light of the camera before snap.

Quite normal apparently. Your gaming will take up a lot of the batt even at the low settings. I am trying out different types of games and apart from offline games, online games will take up a fair amount of battery to be honest. (Using data drains batt faster, using wifi is slightly better).
*
Ya i think so
Even dont play any game also can last like 4sot
Maybe data really eat alot of battery

Data eat too much batt. I tried before. I stopped around 65% in the morning around 10, didn't play any game for the whole day after that and my batt still lasted until the night. This is without power saving on too.
*
so if whole day inside wifi area the batt can last longer?

Yep. Definitely longer. Lower your screen brightness too. The prob with data is the connection. The phone heats up faster too with data and gaming. Stable connection using wifi definitely helps. Less chances of the phone trying to get stable line over and over again.

Probably need to change the connection too since its LTE/3G/2G (auto). The phone will automatically search for whichever is better too.

I see, thank you for sharing

I can't remember how many he got tbh. He swaps them quite a bit so I am not even sure which is which. Then again, if you can afford them, its quite good. 

So 29.99 + lenses = ???. That depends on which set we buy right? Oh gosh. Now looking at the site... I realised that the lenses are sold... separately.
*
Yup the lens are super duper expensive, but heard the quality are great, but i found an alternative lens which is SIRUI lens, the price is like abour RM120 way cheaper than moment lens, but the only problem is i need s moment case to try.
If can get 10 case the shipping is like 5usd only
