Softening the blow: the Galaxy S9 will be bundled with free gifts... in some markets

Right.. They always give a free MicroSD, wireless charger, Gear VR, or at least a free case..
They even give free DeX for Note8 pre-order here (but only limited to the first 100 IIRC :-/)

Every reviewer praised the phones performance. And the phone has lots of useful features. And check out S8 and Note 8 in Oreo Beta speed tests against top flagships before you type.

*Please Samsung, hear our prayers, forget the free gifts and ship us a better user interface on your phones.

And missed out on the App pair features, palm swipe to capture, Edge lighting, smart pickup and call dismissing gestures, split screen app multitasking with the addition of picture in picture resizable window app. Screen off memo, best always on displays layouts, live focus, back ground blur after the shot and choosing to keep a wide angle if you like it. Maybe not the best camera, but still great. Also you know whats great, watch the Oreo s8 and Note 8 take on the Pixel 2XL and OnePlus 5T and destroy them in speed and ram performance tests on youtube. S8 also beat out iPhone X in Oreo Beta also. Doesnt matter if they run Nougat, Samsung's new experience UI 8.1+ are running like stock vanilla smooth. Also I have 374 apps on my phone and I never had a lag or stutter, or force hard button rebopopot from freezes on my S8 which is about 10 months old. Or my Note8 which is about 5 months old.

watch when it water damages and you'll end up buying another one. Might as well had bought Note which reviewers are saying phone of the year last year. And if you think IP rating isn't important, I had an S8 that a river treasure diver returned to me right after he found it when I lost it for 2 nights and 1 in the American River in Sacramento. Don't cheap out, occasionally if a phone stops working one day for some reason. OnePlus have been known to have horrible support. You'll probably wouldn't want to buy another phone from them.

It's nothing to do with the water proof. Galaxy S7s already have it at lower prices.

Come on now....they can at least afford to include a quality lubricant like they use in hospitals.
