What made you switch?


Wasn't the camera already incredible and the speed already amazing?
I mean it could be the s9 plus is better but curious why you upgraded.
Did they announce the s10 release date yet?

I wouldn't upgrade on the older hardware, never seems to work out.
Yup.  Though actually I upgraded on the S8 and had no issues...  But I still wouldn't recommend it generally, unless you have a pixel.

finally switched over from my note 8 to the s9 plus, I must say I am impressed.

Camera - amazing

speed - incredible

bluetooth- much better

and a bunch of other small things.
oh and bold beast voice recorder works flawlessly.

Battery life?

I have a note 8, Korean edition, so it has a chipset that isnt of the usa, but the battery is same capacity, and the battery life, like most battery lives of droids, expires relatively quickly in my opinion with the screen on.  I am always envious of iphones, they seem to last longer.
I highly suggest a portable fast-charging battery, it does wonders.  Samsung sells a 5100 maH battery that's perfect.

Screen protectors are the absolute pits.  All of them on Amazon have false 5-star reviews, all lessen the touch-ability.
In Japan they make excellent protectors.  If you can get one from there I would.

Lol no I probably didn't.  Your link did not have a screen protector for the note 8 so I just searched it. Whatever it's $2 I'll see what I get.

Doesn't seem like they have that one for the note 8. Do you see it on their site?
