I don't know how the 2 cameras work but why can it not get a sense of depth when turned portrait? If I turn my head sideways so that my eyes are vertical, I still see in 3D because my eyes are still seeing two slightly different perspectives.
Because you've got 2 eyes?

My mistake, I see what's going on now. I have an S9+ with two cameras and presumed the S9 had two cameras also.
What is the portrait mode? Not sure I've seen this on my S9+.
Ah see that I don't know as I only have an S8+, I'm guessing its in the camera menu but for stuff like this youtube is always worth a look, people post guides on almost everything.

An official Samsung case - they're well made
If they do an alcantara one for the S9, I recommend one of those

Went for the mous. Very nice.
Stuffed the screen up, so need to find another replacement screen protector.

Hyperknit!
Although Mous... fantastic choice

It's very nice. A little bulky, but it feels fantastic.
It's a shame I'm so clumsy, as it's so much nicer without a case.
Any recs on a screen protector?

Took the plunge - ordered an S9 in black last night.
Coming to the end of my contract with my original Google Pixel, which has been a brilliant phone thus far - but has recently started to lock up a bit; so I treated myself to another contract
Cheaper than my Pixel with masses more data and no more Vodafone - win win win!
First Samsung phone, erm, ever I think. Hopign that the S9 doesn't stutter like my Wife's S7 Edge does - been used to stock Android for many years, but previous commentators on here (for the S8/S9) say its now all good.

I'm thinking of dumping the Pixel 2 for an S9.
I feel like whilst the Pixel gets timely updates, it's boring. In terms of features, the S9 offers so much more.

I personally find stock android a bit stark nowadays, I used to be all over the ROM flashing with the awful executions and late updates to very obvious improvements.
Now I've got an S8+ on Android 8 and frankly I couldn't notice the difference when it updated from 7.. I think we're past that now.
Plus the first thing I do on any android phone is install nova launcher so yeah.. I'd say do it

That was my thinking. While timely updates are nice. It just doesn't seem to have as many features as other OEM's

How much are people currently paying for an s9+? Contract is up for renewal and I’m really tempted to step away from apple now.
Howl howl howl 
Somehow the glass over the camera lens has smashed with a big hole through on my S9+. No idea how that has happened. I have a Gear4 case on but doesn't cover camera of course. Must have got pressured in my pocket. No doubt cost a small fortune to repair and don't have insurance.

I'm sure it's easy to repair, Hasnt Jerryrig fixed them using this

Doesn't look too bad to repair watching a vid on youtube. Replacement glass with tools are cheap enough on ebay. What could possibly go wrong....
May do it myself yet. Just need a hair drier to heat the old glue. Hadn't realized that the camera 'glass' was separate from the glass back.
