Samsung Galaxy S9 rumored to come with bigger battery, here's the alleged capacity
The Samsung Galaxy S9 could arrive with a slightly larger battery than its predecessor, according to a new rumor. The latest speculation comes from Chinese website Weibo, where a user who supposedly is in possession of a test unit shared the following information:
The message also mentions that Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology is also currently being tested and could be present on the upcoming devices. While that's an improvement over the QC 2.0 on the S8 and S8+, we have to say that we were hoping to see either the QC 4.0 or 4+ standards on the S9.
Needless to say, such rumors should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism. However, the information is in line with the alleged S9 renders that emerged a few days ago. The Galaxy S9 will supposedly be a tad bit wider and thicker than its predecessor, which should theoretically allow it to host a larger battery.

The pen needs space.
Note will never have 4000.

Either you want an S or a Note. They are not the same.

Mainly depends on if you want the s-pen
If so, Note 8 (or Note 9 if you can wait)
If not, then S9 or S9+

if you want tge S series, an S8 should be permanently discount like the current S7 and S7 Edges. That fingerprint sensor location on the S8 is actually okay with a thin skin on and even better with a case on. The S8 is blazing quick, especially the Oreo in betas. Check videos out on Youtube.

Here is the translation:
"What I wanna tell you is, the charging speed of S9 is probably not 12W. The prototype on your hand is an early stage one and the latest prototype is using QC 3.0. Hence, it is highly that S9 will be using QC 3.0. Nevertheless, I am doubtful as mass production units are tentatively set to QC 2.0 by Qualcomm. Battery standard should be 3200. The latest engineering drawing shows that there is in-screen fingerprint sensor but there may be difficulties in mass production. Hence, it is likely that it will use rear fingerprint sensor."
