GigaSPX 07/15/18 1:51:56 AM #42:	MuayThai85 posted... I want an S9 but they are stupid expensive in Asia. Found Pixel 2's for half the price of the S9. I've been a Samsung flagship phone users for years so don't really know anything about other phones. Was also considering the Huawei P20. Don't suggest an iPhone. I can't stand iOS and will never spend money on an Apple product again. Best smartphone camera ever is the Huawei P20 Pro, if that's your biggest deciding factor in shopping for a new phone. I'm a Note 8 owner and I'm pretty satisfied with my phone. I jumped in on it for pre-order specials that pretty much make this one only a little over $300 at the end of the 2 year payments I'm locked into. The battery could definitely be bigger, but I've been pretty shitty on battery management these days. Still a solid powerhouse. You can always grab a ported Pixel 2 camera app from XDA to reproduce the Google camera software qualities for your future Samsung phone. To be fair, the S9 does take better photos albeit slightly thanks to latest software and hardware. --- My sig is here. Yup. <cite>GigaSPX posted [p:905100469] in How is the...
