Any thoughts on moving from the s9+ to the mate pro 20? What would you miss the most?

Its called itch..i had same in past..but finally realised i lost so much money for that i could have bought a car..
So choose wisely. For what u want to upgrade??
Currently i am not seeing anything else better then s9 plus..ofc some.minor upgrade but trust me...i had sold my s9plus for i X.and finally come back to s9plus to realise how many features i had compromised for my ITCH

::::: Was searching for a good screen protector :::::
_________________________________________________
I generally don't use any screenguard in any of my gadgets. But since I always had a fear of oleophobic coating getting worn off due to constant touches on the screen and due to past hassle of poor Samsung experience on the same matter I had been searching for a good protector for the past 2 and half months.
..
Screenguards/tempered glasses I tried on the gs9 plus and my experience on them as below:
1. Elove galaxy s9 plus screen protector (amazon.in).
- - a plastic rubbery plastic protector that neither had a full clarity on the screen when installed nor it was cooperating with any case.
2. Sparkling trends premium case friendly(amazon.in).
- - a complete garbage, the sides didn't stick at all keeping a gap in between the protector and the screen and everything on the screen was looking foggy.
3. Spigen neo flex screenguard (amazon.in).
-- super expensive piece of plastic for no reason. Though it was sticking to the screen I hated the feel of cheap plastic that kept on accumulating scratches out of nowhere and I removed it after 2 weeks.
4. Scratchgard galaxy s9 plus tempered glass(reliance digital store).
-- Scratchgard is a known name and so I tried this. But NO, the stickiness on the curved sides were not enough and it didn't stick properly.
5. Gadgetshieldz screen shield- full body protection (gadgetshieldz.com).
-- another cheap quality rubbery plastic protector that requires so much of gymnastics to install. Again the curved sides didn't stick at all.And since soap solution is required in the installation process, it left small sand like dots(not bubbles) beneath the plastic protector( even though bubbles went off in 2 days). When I complained , they sent a replacement only for the front part and again charged me Rs 100 in the name of courier charge. This time also the sides didn't stick even after I tried with utmost precision (they claim it takes 24 hours to properly stick to the screen, but it didnt). They stopped responding to my emails after this.
6. Stuffcool tempered glass screen protector (cromastore).
Didn't have much expectation as I was already tired. But to my surprise, voila!!
It actually worked. Adhesive is superb and is just used only on the borders so that it doesn't interfere on the screen. No issues with clarity and touch response is good after increasing the touch sensitivity in settings. Curves are well thought out so that cases don't come in between and spigen ultra hybrid case is just compatible with it that I am using. Attaching the pictures of the same.
*Instead of using the included stuffcool fibre cloth(it was keeping residues while wiping the screen) , I used a different one(it was in my Rayban sunglass box and it was cleaning the screen without any residues).

Hope this "minor" work helps fellow S9 plus users.

Well anandtech has spoken in detail of bad battery life on exynos, that's a kind of bummer.

OK Cool Mate.

You paid for it but, you wont use all of them everyday. No mobile is perfect and you've to make some customisation to meet your requirements.
Anyway, I understand that You've already decided. So, nothing is gonna stop you now. :fingers-crossed:

See. I know how to fine tune these devices. But the problem is, I've grown tired of tinkering all this **** up everytime I buy a new phone. Why should I run in power saving mode when the USP of this phone is Performance? How do you justify turning off SPay when I use it everyday?
I've already disabled a lot of crap I don't use and I don't mind doing that.
But if someone asks me to turn AoD off, sync off, notifications off, location off, enable power saving mode, I simple lose my mind. Why the hell did I pay for it? To cripple it later and use it as a dumb phone? Please, and this request goes to everybody, please stop teaching someone how to use their phone. You may love to compromise but everyone can't. Cheers
