Ordered a Note 20 Ultra, Will miss a capacitive fingerprint reader (that's faster), Iris Scanner, An extra button that I customised to open Google Assistant, No Camera Bump and a compact enough good sized phone (new ones are too big). Guess I just wanted an S9 Plus 2021, but okay…..

By the camera? No mate. By the bezels.

Business Opportunity in Ruvol

I have invented a Board Game [still unpublished and not yet out in the market] that I believe is guaranteed to be as challenging and exciting as CHESS. I called it “RUVOL.”

It is my hope that one day Ruvol may surpass chess as the “Number One Board Game in the World.”

The weakness of chess is it always starts in fixed positions that the opening moves become “memorizable.” In fact, not a few have so mastered the moves that they can play against their opponents “blindfolded.” It is for this very reason that the great Bobby Fischer introduced his so-called “Fischer Random Chess,” where the starting position of the pieces is “randomized” to make the memorization of openings impracticable. Fortunately, it is also for this reason that I invented Ruvol where “every game” has been calculated to be a challenging one to play.

HOW IS RUVOL PLAYED and HOW YOU CAN MONETIZE IT?

I detailed everything in my YouTube video. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcqth0m3-R0

BIG MONEY POTENTIAL IN RUVOL!

It is worthwhile to note that the people who play chess will be the same people who will play Ruvol. In my Google search, I learned there are around 800 million chess players in the world. Even just a small percentage of these 800 million is good enough to earn big money from Ruvol either as an ONLINE GAME BUSINESS or as a PHYSICAL PRODUCT DISTRIBUTOR.

Thanks and God bless!

Because phones for the most part have not changed all that much. We have been over buying processing power now for years for the things that the average user needs their phone for.

Ultimate design. I would love to say that this device looks way more beautiful than even the latest Galaxy S21's.

It not going to get android 11

Watching on my S9+. Very nice review! Gorgeous phone. Photo camera is excellent, and i don't miss an ultra wide lens at all (let's face it, the standard lens allready is a wide angle). In real life this camera is probably better than any modern A or M series (at least the ones i' ve tested). Still gonna keep it for a while (such a sweet phone in January 2021…).

Can I have… A phone?🥺

Samsung ruined a good thing asthetically starting with the S10 series.

IMO, the S8, Note 8, S9 & Note 9 were the best devices Samsung ever made. No, they don't have 5G, but they virtually have everything else going for it, especially a good looking screen – no punch holes, no notches, just a great front end with awesome display. I've had my S9+ (black) for more than 2 years now, still runs like a champ. My next device? Either another S9+ (blue) or a Note 9. I could care less about 5G right now.

I'm still using mine, and it is still absolutely amazing, except the battery. It's still pretty darn good, just not as good as when I got it of course.

DiegoDoodle

where did you get the s9 from the video?

nissa mokoginta

My S9+ works still amazing.. i wished had the note 9 at launch tho… the only downsize is the battery due to software updates it became better. But S9+ & note 9 dont have android software updates anymore. The new samsung devices dont have the iris scanner anymore. I dont know why this is really one of the best security systems of the S9 & note 9 series.

mark purdie

Still have s9+ great phone never let me down not planning another phone anytime soon 👍

I have an Apple iPhone XS MAX 256GB and a S9 Plus 256gb + 256gb microsd emtec and it's perfect, android 10, bixby, no problems. S9+ it's always very fast. Very nice smartphone.

lordboombastic

i traded my s9+ in for an iphone 11. i feel stupid. i miss my s9+

Stefan Mutafchiev

I have S7 and i had a software update yesterday. So I am sure that on the S9 and S9+ you will get atleat 2 more years of software updating and all that kind of stuff.

Milan Obradović

How much update will it have, cause ive got an a71 and my dad is getting a new phone and im picking between staying with the a71 or taking my dads S9+

Brad Justinen

Mask proof isis scanner.

Best design samsung has had.

I have my S9+ for one and half year
now. I still love it and it still works pretty well. The camera is great the acreen is fantastic. I'm waiting for another 8 months to buy S21 Ultra.

hatchhyjack

few reasons why i ain't upgrading from my s9+, still works great, no pink line on the screen and it actually has an iris scanner, headphone jack and notification led

Anoop M.S.

I still prefer my s9 plus display over iphone 11 pro

Jace Zaler

The only reason I traded in my S9+ for the Note 20 Ultra was because I didn't want its trade-in value to drop off before I could benefit from it. The phone was amazing and I never had an issue with it.

Youssuf Ahmad Sayed

damn i was stupid for not waiting another generation for the s9/n9, currently running a n8 and too bad samsung didn't give it final goobye in form of android 10

radha krishnan

The s9plus is a hard machine after 2years same like new phone look

testing 123

still using my s9. very good perfomance. just my battery drain a bit fast

Johann Fojas

My S9+ just stopped charging. Kept giving me the moisture detected error. Got out and got a OnePlus 8 pro. Didn't want to get a new phone but had too. Was perfectly happy with the S9

Rehan Yawar

Has the phone slowed down and become laggy

Argo, Fuck Yourself

hell even s9 is good.

mitchy

mine got screen burnt..

Tokyo o

I had this phone, till I dropped it a few times

Johir Islam

Price plz

Csanad Barczy

Still works for me, no issues at all. I tried to find another one online with 256gb and they cost more than the S10+ renewed. Still has an amazing camera that I use for close ups for work and never fails. Still a great value I think.

Barclay08

I'd keep mine for an extra year if I didn't smash the screen

Samsun’g latest phones has really focused on quality smartphones that could let the user hold on to them for longer.

It is outdated

Abhijith Pankajakshan

Every thing is so true…. respect this phones..

cblizz730

Great review …Galaxy note 20 lost the tof sensor.

Freezey Pop

The we might get one more year of security updates is why I'm switching to Apple. I am fed up of Samsung and their ridiculous update strategy. I'm not gonna buy a $1000+ phone every damn year like a shallow bellend.

The only outed here is the ppi and camera but overall its freaking good 👌🏻
