Like I said before. I will never listen to anything that come out of the company's mouth wether it's Apple or Samsung. Better off let the consumers speak themself.

Samsung did really shoot themself in the foot this year by trying to be like the boring company for not changing the design. Beautiful phone but who wanna buy something that already look the same as last year. Camera got better in low light but over all I like the Pixel2 camera better imo. Well Note 9 better be different Sammy boy. LG, Sony, Nokia hurry bring something out will ya. It's your chance.

That's ridiculous. It is neither economical nor smart for a company to drastically change the design of their product every year. No company with a good brand identity does that. Get real.

Yea, comparing photos on phone display is th best way to do it, you got a point, its a slight upgrade.

Lightweight? The phones are heavier than their predecessors which weren't lightweight to begin with. I have to disagree with you on that one.

S9 is a little wider and thicker than the S8, maybe that's why extra weight got distributed uniformly and he felt it lighter

21. AngelicusMaximus (Posts: 445; Member since: 20 Dec 2017)

No. It's less than a credit card wider & two hundredths of an inch thicker. Those are negligible increases. Don't feed into the ignorance.

24. NateDiaz (Posts: 1020; Member since: 03 Mar 2018)

If you look relatively, S9 is 6.25% thicker than the S8.

And try to be nice, no one owes you nothing.

26. AngelicusMaximus (Posts: 445; Member since: 20 Dec 2017)

And I would call negligible considering the overall size. Also, I like how you conveniently left out the fact that it's less than 1% wider.

Besides, I was being nice & while your double negative betrays you, I already realize no one owes me anything. I don't see what that has to do with anything though.

"Don't feed into the ignorance." This is the nicest sentence ever written, yeah for sure.

I am allowed to put my perspective, ain't I? You're the one who took it negatively.

28. AngelicusMaximus (Posts: 445; Member since: 20 Dec 2017)

I never said it was "the nicest sentence ever written". I said I was being nice which, from my perspective, I was. You're allowed to say whatever you want. That should be obvious. This is the internet. Welcome.

How does the glass and metal on it feel like cheap plastic when it's the same type of GG5 and metal frame used on all smartphones, INCLUDING the S8 that you just said they felt the same while holding. What you didn't know is that the S9 is even heavier than the S8. You lost all the credibility in your comment by this sentence alone.

Then comes the camera, reviewers have had the phone for a week now and a small number of them did a brief camera reviews because it's still running on pre-production software, yet you were able to give us a conclusion about the camera after trying a store demo unit?

He needs to do some homework before he speaks.
Lighter than the s8, thats funny because it is heavier, lol.

14. nodes (Posts: 1053; Member since: 06 Mar 2014)

pre-production and retail unit won't differ by huge margins.
heck i doubt it will be any different.

at this point, flagship cameras are all great, some have cons and pros on their own, no camera is "the best" on all aspects.

S6 Edge is about same size of my phone.
Both are glass sandwich.
My phone is way heavier than s6 edge.

S6e feels so light , even more than a J1

Where at? I haven't been to my local Best Buy yet.

Being a Note user, as far as S models go, I just look at what's new on that & look forward to what will be bigger & better on the Note that comes out in the fall. Interesting that you say it feels lighter than its predecessor.

Now I am thinking why people are foolishly thinking that S9 and S9+ buyers are only S8,S8+ and Note 8 buyers? ironic right? lol

"...one thing I noticed was how lightweight the phone is, to the point that it feels like cheap plastic instead of glass and metal."

Not sure what kind of demo you had but at Best Buy the S9+ felt heavier than the S8+ & both the S8 & S9 feel light to me. Not cheap, just light.

It ironic that this is coming from a die hard Sony fanboy who always screamed don't fix what isn't broken lol

Awesome video

It costs the exact same as the S8. If it costs more in your country, blame your government for increasing customs duty/your currency depreciating in value.

15. sissy246 (Posts: 6192; Member since: 04 Mar 2015)

To a point I agree, it's not a huge update for people with a s8/s8+.
A lot of upgrades will be come from people with phones older then the s8 and s8+, so for them it will be a big update.
