Think I am going to go for this. On a Sony z2 from 2014 
. Just been waiting for a phone to come along that appeals to me. I wasn't keen on the appearance of the Samsung flagships until the s8. I think it's really nice and so I've decided to go for the s9+. Almost went for a Google Pixel 2 last year then decided to hold off.

sort the damn finger print sensor out. it would be the fastest way to unlock the phone if it wasnt in such a daft position. Anything else is a bonus!
While it is not in the most convenient of places, I never really got why people struggle with the finger print sensor on the S8. I have the S8+, and using the finger print sensor is pretty easy.

Oh just because it requires changing the way i hold the phone. It's actually quicker to just type in a 5 digit passcode instead

Another +1 here. I hold the S8+ in my right hand using the right index finger to unlock, and I dial/type with my left hand. I know it's not the proper way as most people use 2-finger typing with both hands but I never got the knack of that, so I type just left-handed like it's a calculator.

When's the note 9 out?
Of all the faults with the S8, the camera is the thing that needs fixing the least.

S-Series phone tend to come out around Easter time. Note-series phone around October time.
The phone actually working would be a good start. My S7 was the best phone ive had but this S8 has been dreadful, even worse than my S3 was. Will be giving this one a miss I think

based on a clearly faulty phone, right.
Because not one person on this earth holds their phone the same way as they do when unlocking.. it is the dumbest place to put it.
Battery life and longevity without a doubt, mine is absolutely garbage now.
Its a pity they couldn't build a fingerprint reader into either the power putton or somewhere along the bezel where your thumb or fingers would be naturally. Having it on the back, while not the end of the world is somewhat unnecessary in this day and age. That said I have a Spigen case on my GN8 so locating the sensor is very easy and never takes a second go at finding it.
I think every other release is the way to go nowadays as each annual change doesn't seem to be a game changer any more (plus the pant tightening cost of them).

That’s more likely to do with the existing patent out there in the US more than anything. I think we’ve seen with the Sony Handsets over there they need to remove the fingerprint scanner from the power button on the side due to that patent.
Given the size of the market over there I assume unlike Sony, Samsung are reluctant to make a second model of the same size of handset for one market.
At least I think I’m right about the patent thing.
Surely the Note 9 or 10 is going to be the near perfect phone? Samsung only need to up their game slightly in the screen department (a first until the iPhone X), stereo speakers, further improvements in the camera (e.g. nearer Sony's 1k frames at 720p for slow motion) and a 4000mAh battery. The finger print reader under the screen should be good to go by the 10 at the latest.
