I love my S9, I would be lost without it. I love paying for goods with it and I am taking more video and photos than I ever took before. It also works good as a magnifying glass in stores when trying to read ingredients on labels.

I also use it to record doctors instructions and findings after I ask if I can record the conversation so I don't forget and have to call them back.

Do you know how long Samsung will support S9 and continue to release future Android versions for it?

EDIT - the consensus on the net seems to be for "2 OS updates and 3 years of security updates from launch". Which means it will get one more OS update next year and then just security patches for a year after that.

I bought a Samsung product by mistake.

Staron solid surface.

I had no idea until the installers carried in one of the countertops and I saw "Samsung" printed on the underside.

By then it was too late.

It's held up well, so no regrets, but I'll probably choose another brand next time.

we have the Samsung washer and dryer and Samsung frig.

OOPS! Wrong! That's how much laundry I do. We have the LG washer and dryer, but do have the
Samsung Frig. Still can't figure out why they would put an ice maker and cube storage on the refrigerator side, but it works. (it was the #1 complaint when we bought it)

The wife loves the LG electronics and settings. Had one minor problem the 1st month and the service kid (they all look like kids to me now) suggested 1 cup of vinegar once a month in a separate wash, and a cup of bleach every 6 months in a separate wash, and we'll never see him again. He was right for 4+ years so far.

The Samsung frig is starting to make more noises and groans than me trying to move in the morning, but my fingers are crossed.
