you said best oled screen but you didnt say what for tho to be honest you should be more careful with your phones cause normally if you drop a phone it smashes what ever phone you use if it has a glass screen but if we rewind here looks wise colors and that its the note 9 with out a doubt

I have very close persons to me with Samsungs, S4, S6, then S8 and all of them are with seriously broken screens.
I have another person with a Huawei phone which has zero hints of any drops.
I know about Sony Xperia S, it can fall multiple times with velocity on asphalt, the only things you would see are tiny scratches on the plastic bezels.
My own VKworld S8 is rock solid but its bezels and body have titanium alloy...

Just be honest and say that the build quality of Samsung's premium phones is trash.
 
Are we going to say iPhone build quality is trash too? I can't believe how many of them I see with broken screens.

Also, aren't they all gorilla glass 5? The same? The actual screen is stuck to the back of that...

I Geekbench 4'd the XZ2 against my Note 9 and the SD845 came up with 8,331 against the Exynos scoring 8,929. I know more factors involved as they are different phones, but interesting I thought.

The Exynos is faster than the Snapdragon on paper, but when you actually look at some of the side by side and deep dives, it doesn't always fare so well due to things like optimisation for the Snapdragon processor, and other factors like CPU governers, which is the frustration as, don't get me wrong, it's one of the best, but its not what it SHOULD be. The SD845 also has a faster graphics chip.

This is a relatively good article run.

One good thing about the Note 9 though is the improved cooling, that should mean sustained performance will be decent and shouldn't throttle too quickly due to heat.
