Default Samsung Galaxy S9+

Will give a full report this weekend. Charging now, with super fast charger, which I like. Camera is supposed to be off of the charts. Something like super slow mo video with over 400 FPS. Records in 4k UHD.

Got an Otterbox for this slippery sucker. No breakage for this one.

It's pretty sad when you can buy a very capable notebook computer for 300-400 bucks, and a phone is over $1k. But, paid full retail, so my grandfathered unlimited 4G plan is still in tact.

Love the S8. Impressed with the camera and S9 supposed to be even better. Hope the S9 works for you.

I have a regular S8 for work, and I dropped it, and the back glass broke. They are so slippery. My existing S7 Edge has been great, except for the reduced battery life over time, and the screen burn in. I don't expect screen issues with the new one, cuz I let the phone sleep now after a short period of time. I was satisfied waiting for a 2nd version before replacing. Either giving my S7 Edge to my wife to replace her crappy iPhone, or giving to GWiz to replace the same exact phone, which has a broken front screen.

Super fast charger rocks. Phone has been plugged in for only about 35 minutes, and it went from 0% to 69% charged.

I think that was thought back in the rumor timeline, before it finally came out.

BTW; interesting read on this:

"Stellar" camera has yet to impress. I haven't done video yet, nor read a damn thing, but these 3 images were taken today. The one that's in 4x3 aspect ratio is 12 Mega Pixels. The 16x9 ones are 9+ megapixels. Really don't see anything that blows my skirt up yet in that department.

After reviewing, the racecar pic in the garage is actually pretty good.

Video quality is stellar. UHD, 60 fps, and excellent low light capabilities. GWiz and I took the same selfie at the restaurant on each phone for comparison. S7 Edge vs. S9+....HUGE difference. Will post later.

With Datafiz, sometimes it's best to not know all the details.
