    Post Who's getting it? And what are you coming from?

    Coming from my horrible iPhone XS Max. Pre-ordered the Note 10+ in Aurora blue 256GB config. Wish I had gone with the 512gb now lol I loved my Note 9. I regret getting rid of it now!

    Post iPhoneX vs Note9 benchmarks...iPhoneX wins?

    Benchmarks isn't the end all be all. Basically if you want a phone that scores high benchmarks then the iPhone is for you.

    VoLTE worked fine on my unlocked S9+ with Verizon.

    Previous devices. I got my Note 8 and S8+ a week early. Samsung says ships by 20th.

    Post Pre-Order Waiting Room. What did you go with?

    I am also confused by this. Black is like the most popular option. Although I think the blue looks sick. I can only think they might release a black option later this year to help sales.

    I don't run betas. But I will post back when I get mine with what my battery life is like. And if it is decent for me it should be decent for anyone :D

    I don't really trust SOT from most people on XDA. It is so easy to fake that kind of screen on time with black screens. I never got close to that with my Note 8. Most I have ever got was 5hrs SOT. And that was me actually trying to stretch battery life.

    Note 8 can't get anywhere near that in that type of test. These battery tests are far different than real life usage. ---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ---------- Correct. These battery tests are very hard on batteries. Something to keep in mind as...

    I'm not mad lol I just don't like people not posting all the facts. And you left at some important facts. The battery having over 40% left is huge with that usage. I am not holding out much hope. But like I said I like facts. I could have a 6000mah battery and use it in half a day lol

    There are no reviews out. Just first impressions. And most are crap. Android Pit just posted on article where he got 9 hrs of SOT over the weekend. That is pretty damn good if that keeps up.

    Post So who is getting it ?

    It was $750 net for me. The phone I’m trading in was free. It really isn’t a bad deal with the trade in offers. Apple isn’t that generous! So yea, I think it is worth it for people who want the phone. SDK isn’t headphones, btw. It is the the development kit that allows app developers to take...

    Post So who is getting it ?

    I only paid $750, after trading in a device I had laying around. Plus the $200 headphones for pre-ordering makes it a little sweeter. The battery life alone makes this a worthy upgrade for me, assuming it will live up to the hype. And I don't think Sammy is going to get rid of the Note series...

    Post CDMA support

    I don't think you are understanding what I am saying. I am from the states and very young. I am 5 years old. Anyways, I totally agree with what you are saying. My point is you can run non-verizon phones on Verizon network. They don't need any amount of certification from Verizon at all to do that!
  25. Josh LaCelle

    Post CDMA support

    You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. I am talking about using a non-verizon phone on Verizon's network. I have used non-verizon phones on Verizon's network with no problem at all! You just need the bands you don't need Verizon's certification.
  26. Josh LaCelle

    Post CDMA support

    You don't need certification to use a phone on Verizon's network. You just need the bands. You just pop a sim in and it works.

    Me too! But another $14 hurts to me lol My order total was $587.24 with the S7 trade-in. I bought a S7 on eBay for $120 to trade in. After my $30 cashback from RetailMeNot I will have $670ish into it. So as you can see I am pinching my pennies haha

    The first charge was just a pre-authorization charge. They will recharge the card once the phone ships. The phone will ship when it ships. Hopefully soon.

    Samsung doesn't treat the USA any better... Yes - we get three colors. But where is 128GB or 256GB options for the USA?!?! And no preorder bonus gifts? Come on Sammy! You can do better!

    Post [USA] Galaxy S9+ Waiting Room

    I think the unlocked model through Samsung will work worldwide for the most part. Wifi calling and visual voicemail never worked for me on unlocked phones besides the Google Pixel. But that doesn't bother me. So I don't think it will be no different on the S9.

    Post Battery life

    I was wondering if the test was done with the almost a year old S8/S8 Plus, or were these brand new S8's just for the test. If these are indeed older phones not really a fair test aganst the new S9 which has brand new batteries out of the box. With that said, the S9/S9 Plus does not look...

    Post WiFi Tether Trick?

    I could tether fine with my unlocked Note 8. No FoxFi was required. I just started hotspot from the settings. I am on the grandfathered unlimited plan as well.

    Post What are the drawbacks to buying the unlocked S9 for Verizon?

    Verizon are a bunch of liars and crooks. Verizon tweaks nothing. They just make sure all their products and services work with the phone, that is all. I wouldn't pay $100 more for a phone that only has bloatware from Verizon. Not to mention Verizon phones are locked from factory now

    I am getting the S9+. Preordering the unlocked version on launch day. I am currently using the Pixel 2 XL. While it is a nice phone it doesn't really feel like a flagship with the subpar screen.
