“Personally, I’m coming to the end of a contract on my S7 - which is having some issues. (dropping it and cracking the back hasn’t helped) I might have to go for an S9..”
My S7 Edge is a little slower than it used to be and I don’t REALLY need an upgrade but the S9 is sounding pretty good to me :)
My S7 is cracked on the back - *then* I bought an otter case for it. (I know, locking the barn door after...) First phone I had ever dropped and damaged. The battery doesn’t have the capacity it used to. That’s starting to become a noticeable issue. Finally, the external volume buttons do not work. That problem predates the drop/crack so I know I didn’t do that to it. I’ve tried every reset / fix procedure on the internet and cannot get them to work. I keep optimistically thinking “the next update will do it” or some such. I’ve done a factory data reset on it several times just to “clean house.” I keep most everything on the micro SD card. Might be time to move up after the initial hoopla over the S9 fades a bit.
