Anyone from s9 plus jumped over to op6? I'm fascinated by the speed and battery life reviews by YouTubers and would like to know what do you guys think.
Is it worth the switch?
I have little extended experience with the S9+ (or any modern Sammy for that matter since the Note 3), but if there's anything my looooong previous experience with Sammy has thought me (pretty much every flagship from the S2 to the N3), is that most of them were filled to the brim with background services - leading to the infamous "progressive Samsung lag" (aka "why-is-my-Samsung-getting-slower-every-month" syndrome) and corresponding battery drain.
Grace UX was supposed to "fix" this, though if you dig deep, it's still seems to not entirely be "light enough" bloat-wise even at this point.
I won't lie and say that OOS doesn't have ANY background bloat, but it's pretty barebones compared to what Sammy has, leading to the claims of speed/lesser lag and battery life - which, for me at least, is pretty spot on.
The prompt OP update schedule seems to help too.
On the other hand, leaving Grace UX for OOS does also mean you give up a lot of Sammy's software niceties. And, you know, that awesome QHD+ AMOLED, expandable memory, Samsung Pay and terrific camera setup on the hardware side of the S9+.
So yeah, if you feel that those things are worth trading out for lesser lag in extended use and better controlled battery drain, then yeah the OP6 might just be "worth" the switch.
Well, IMHO anyway ler.
