Hi guys,

I just purchased the S9 and I was supposed to get it Friday. Due to me working remote, I will get it tomorrow.

From my documentation period, I get that the phone has an amazing camera. I tried to stay away from Samsung, even though the camera was top notch due to KNOX and lack of development. My last Samsung phone was an S2, that manged to run up to CM13 like a champ. But the battery life was terrible.

Since then I embraced the Xperia family, which has top notch hardware and almost vanilla Android. I just love the Sony compact phones. Their problem was and it still is to some degree, the camera. So this is the main reason I took into consideration the new Sammy.

I don't know if I will keep my S9, since I own 2 other Xperias, since I got it due to some big discount, but I am interested to hear your opinions and about your techniques of taking photos. My gf has a S7 and I noticed a lot of neat stuff (*cough* raw *cough*) and my best friend has an S8 that takes amazing photos in low light.

The S9 presents itself with a lot of interesting features, like the different aperture camera, raw format, multiframe noise reduction and so on.

I'll even enjoy articles about the theory of photography. It's so much junk of info online, that I don't know what to chose.

Can't wait to read what you have to say. Happy to meet y'all!
