Posted June 26, 2018 It really depends on your preference to Android or iOS, they both run very well on their respective devices.

Posted June 26, 2018 This is a "Android sucks" or "Apple sucks" thread, because they're subjectively opinion based. I have a bias against Android because I had a consistent stream of lemons, where as inversely, I ran my 4S until the battery gave up the ghost. I just replaced it maybe four months ago. That's my experience, and I'm sure others have had the complete opposite. as @FunkmastaFlex said, go with whatever OS you prefer, or whatever features you require from it. ~Remember to quote posts to continue support on your thread~ -Don't be this kind of person- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800x | RAM: 2x16GB Crucial Ripjaws Z | Cooling: XSPC/EK/Bitspower loop | MOBO: Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master | PSU: Seasonic Prime 750 Titanium SSD: 250GB Samsung 980 PRO (OS) | 1TB Crucial MX500| 2TB Crucial P2 | Case: Phanteks Evolv X | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 (with EK Block) | HDD: 1x Seagate Barracuda 2TB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 26, 2018 Compared head-to-head, the Galaxy S9 is cheaper, and more powerful than the iPhone 8. However, since these are two flagship modern phones, I'm assuming that you have the extra cash lying around to pay the notorious 'Apple tax' if need be.

Posted June 27, 2018 2 hours ago, huilun02 said: If you are serious, go for the S9 Plus. Why? 3500mAh battery. And by the way if you get a non US model of the phone, it will NOT support wireless charging. Same applies to basically all Android devices. That is simply not true, I've had multiple European Samsung phones and they have all supported wireless charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
