I decided to try the s9 as well. I picked one up yesterday, trying to transition myself away from iOS. I'm bored and find the X to have nothing special that warrants a $1,000+ price tag.
I haven't activated the s9 yet, just running it on wifi for now and getting it all set up. So far I find it quite stunning, it's very fast and like the feel in hand. What are your thoughts on battery life so far? That is my main concern...I didn't get the plus model because it is just too big for me.
Battery life is average at best. It’s not that bad but I’m running it on QHD (max res) and AOD. At first I was using it a lot - setting up Android, getting to learn in, in awe with the screen, etc. Made the battery nose dive. After 1st week it was much more stable. Would get about 14hrs with 15-20% left.
After 3 weeks I’m actually back on an X (yup went and bought another). The little things about Android started to bug me. I won’t get rid of the S9 just yet though. But I think I’m just an iOS guy for life.
