First time Android user coming from iOS. I love my Galaxy S9+ and all of the customization available. Many of my friends using any Samsung phone recommend using a launcher such as Nova. However, I feel the Samsung UI has so much capabilities and coming from iOS I really enjoy all of the tips! Thanks! - Neil
Yes, that is true. People criticize Samsung UI but trust me it much better in looks as well as in performance (not optimum tbh), I think Samsung UI is most featured packed UI in any smartphone.
Here's another tip which I just found out myself. When you swipe right in your home button at the navigation bar and hold it, it brings up the recent apps and you can slide more to the right to go to your other recent or just do a quick swipe right and it will open up the most recent instead of double tapping the recent button
So impressed with the sound settings. I have tinnitus and have a similar test at my audiologist! Good job Samsung. Making the switch from iPhones to Samsung for the first time
I just got this the other day and saw "say hello google" and I did and it started up and then I said, Oh shit and google comes back with "I hope everything is ok." I died laughing.
So many great tips! Wow, i was blown away that the phone also does a hearing test! If you have the hearing of a 60 yr old, I'm in my 50s, just hoping that I will still have some hearing left!This is an awesome phone! Samsung has done it again. I'm going to do that test right after this.post. Thank you!
You are amazing I just bought my S9 I’ve pixelized, intensified, finger dropped and so many other things I never knew I could do oh found my torch...Thank you for your very generous time 😘
Sir Alfred Lawrence I got clear view standing case for my Galaxy s9. But i wished i got the Led view case, because mine can easily scratch it's glas. It also has space for your credit cards.
also, when you're in camera, you can take selfies by touching the rear sensor next to the back camera. if you are in the dark, test it out it glows red and then snaps the picture. i wanted to point this out as it wasnt in the video. :)
Because Samsung since the s6 because the screens curved it's so easy to crack it by dropping it which is why these phones need a shock proof case and phone screens are easy to scratch no matter what phone it is as most people don't put screen protectors on the phone and shove their phones in the same pocket or bag that they put their keys and loose change so it scratches the screen it's cosmetic wear and tear it'll happen either way
I just got my s9 plus yesterday thanks to a free 300 dollars in accessories from Samsung directly. I was waiting for a deal. Thanks for the tips. I haven't had a galaxy since the s4. Great phone and so glad to get something better than lg phones haha
The drop down quick menu where you have notifications and bluetooth, wifi etc. you can click on the word underneath the symbol and it will show wifi options for example without taking you to settings
Your top 20+ were a lot better than many of the others...convinced me to subscribe to your channel. That said, I followed one bit of advice and got in a little trouble. Regarding Special Access -> Optimize Battery Usage. You said to turn it to All Apps and then change what's needed. Well, there's a gazillion things listed there and now I wish I'd left this in whatever default state it was in and just scrolled through to find any that I might have needed turned on. How can I get this back to the way they were set when I got the phone? Thanks.
I used paxkage disabler to shut bixby 100% down. Even after i disabled parts of it were still running just serv no function. Disabled over 120 items of bloat on my s9. It runs sooooo fast now
thank you so much for such helpful videos .. I love how quickly you get to the point and go through everything. I can always pause on the things that I want more details. Great work!
The concept of this video is great, however you talk and demonstrate like you are an auctioneer, if you would slow down ~25% this would be so much better.
I hope it was an easy transaction for you! I know you posted this two months ago, but Im going to do the same probably this weekend, I hope I don't miss my iPhone too much! its been an oldie but goodie for me! my iPhone 5s is still in great condition not even a scratch on it! I hope this one is just as faithful LOL!
Best smartphone ever. To me the S10 is just an unnecessary upgrade if you already own a Galaxy S9+ or even an S9 regular, not to mention the Note 9. S10 is just Waste of money really, cause now you can buy the s9 plus for 500 euros or 600 bucks if you live in US. Another tip for the ignorants out there is that the human eyeballs can't process that crazy resolution of the S10, we can't even process properly the resolution of the FHD, and the same goes for TVs. So as you can imagine the dynamic amoled screen of the S10 or whatever Samsung calls it, doesn't really do much of a difference since Noone on this Planet can comprehend the amount of pixels of that screen, which is producing millions of millions of pixels every millisecond of the millisecond in order to reach that level of resolution, which is really unnecessary as well. With simple words ain't even worth your while since even their previous models already produce overwhelming resolutions. S10 is just another marketing trick, strategy or however you wonna call it from Samsung's quarters, in order to convince the people who don't know some of the details to make them buy their new ( best smartphone) in the market. Bullcrap I say, not to mention that FUCKING, GOD DAMN, FRIGGIN NOTCH which is something completely new for Samsung smartphones. Nevertheless take care and don't believe anything you hear from these corporations. They just want to drain your pockets even more than they already do, and nothing more.
I really need your help with something. So I’m blind. And I use talkback. But it doesn’t tell me when some things are turned on or off. Also it doesn’t tell me if Wi-Fi networks are open or secure. How would I fix this problem
@@leapkz2448 I think it's ok. As the phone is new to me + I'm trying to get used to Android, I used it the whole day long, trying all the features, camera, games, ... and I went to bed with still 20%. I had to charge my iPhone twice a day... But it's not like it will last 2 full days, as I hoped.
My phone doesn't seem to not want to find any wifi connections sometimes and I have to restart my phone for it to find any as I don't seem to have the 'reset network settings' option. do you know why that is?
Hey, thanks for this awesome video on the S9+.. I had a hard time with getting myself adjusted to this phone for quite a while. I'm kinda wondering if you knew how to solve notifications from the phone to a smart watch? I've been getting duplicated messages on my watch.
It would be nice if we can completely repurpose the Bixby button to do a screenshot!!
It's called Bixby button remaper (app in play store)
My Bixby button is now a physical back button

You all must have similar voices. My Google only works with my voice.

probably the best and detailed video i have seen so far on S9+. nice work bro....
Just got this phone today, personally my favorite phone on the market right now
Same here & I'm loving this device. Just a shame they haven't removed the button for bixby or set it as a dedicated camera button.
Thanks Droid Life. It's my first time owning a Samsung and your vid was awesome. You have great speaking skills! All the way from Australia .........

Feels good to watch this wt my S9plus i remember when im watching vids from my old phone

I will buy the s9 ❤❤❤ its amazing
Thank you for these tips! One thing...can you please slow down a bit (for us "older" people). Much appreciated!

How did you scratch your phone so quickly?
Is that a scratch or did you crack it
I got the s9 and I haven't dropped it, yet I got a decently bad scratch on it after only about a week
Because Samsung since the s6 because the screens curved it's so easy to crack it by dropping it which is why these phones need a shock proof case and phone screens are easy to scratch no matter what phone it is as most people don't put screen protectors on the phone and shove their phones in the same pocket or bag that they put their keys and loose change so it scratches the screen it's cosmetic wear and tear it'll happen either way

You could remap the Bixby button to activate Google assistant when pressed there are apps on google play and I have already set it up
Says he doesn't like Bixby but it level 5 ....
Force you need to try something before giving a proper opinion. He gave it shot and doesn't like it.
Demo phone
The level is tied to his account... not the phone. You can see that it is his personal @droid-life.com account.
thank you so much for the advice about customizing the hearing profile. i am hard of hearing and it made a huge difference!

Hello, got a question.
Got my new s9 like 2 days ago, but
how did you change your button layout to a stop and play layout?
I kinda of bought one but the camera didn't have most of the functions like the slow motion, night mode men
With your talk and actions being so fast could you bring in the camera to show what you are doing closer? The phone is way too small in video.
It's actually crazy I did the sound profile and I hear high tones really well but low tones not so well.
thanks a lot bro
google assistant is for the internet, Bixby is super for controlling your phone, also good for the internet.
Fantastic guide! Thanks
