The Samsung Galaxy S9 has lower battery power than the one offered by the Samsung Galaxy S8, the differences in tests made so far show that users can expect to have up to 30% less time to use. We are talking about a battery test a few weeks ago for the Samsung Galaxy S9 that showed us that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and the iPhone have better autonomy, but another one of Anandtech confirms the same thing.
The new Exynos 9810 chip
With about 3 hours worse than the Samsung Galaxy S8, it has a big difference in what people are buying the new smartphone. Samsung Galaxy S9 Battery Problem The Samsung Galaxy S9 comes with the new Exynos 9810 chip, integrated in the models in Romania, and now we have an explanation for this radical reduction in battery life.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has a new Exynos 9810 chip that consumes more resources than the 8895 last year, the difference substantially reducing the battery’s autonomy, although in reality, things have to stay completely opposite.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is one of the few premiums, very expensive mobile phones that brings substantial battery retention compared to the previous generation.
Samsung has endowed the Galaxy S9 + with a 3500 mAh battery, one big enough for all of the time standards. Is it enough?
The autonomy is lower because of the processor
It must provide enough power for the generous 6.2-inch, the 6 GB RAM and the octa-core processor on the new Exynos 9810. Although the new Exynos 9810 is more energy-efficient for some features, the Samsung Galaxy S9 has a lower autonomy because the processor consumes more power when it works.
Clearly, the autonomy of the Galaxy S9 + will be tailored to the specifics of each user. Power management can be enabled to reduce resolution, disable some background services, and reduce brightness in the hope that the battery will last longer. Sure, many will do that.

At long last, we have some uplifting news. After a long time of leaks which gave some critical hits to they way Galaxy Note 9 was seen, one of the company’s best insiders has a significant update to come for Samsung’s new smartphone.
The mysterious, but reliably precise Ice Universe, as said by Samsung, has plans to twofold the Galaxy Note 9’s storage to about 512 worth of GB, while additionally giving more to RAM, too, 8GB to be precise. Both are considered new stuff for Samsung’s Galaxy ranges.
Besides, it is significant that the Galaxy Note 9 will have a microSD slot, which is the perfect fit for 512GB, which implies this could be the world’s primarily mass-advertise 1TB smartphone. Considering the fact that as of late launched Galaxy S9 likewise just has 4GB worth of RAM (remember that the Plus variation has 6GB), a hop to 8GB would convey boasting rights too.
However, there’s one issue.
Ice Universe uncovers the two moves will get live if we are fortunate. This means that Samsung is taking a shot at giving them, however still can’t seem to completely submit in front of the Galaxy Note 9’s initial release.
The question is: are we really going to believe this? If we are to remember Ice Universe’s reputation, we think we should. The leaker already broke the Galaxy Note 8 configuration, uncovered the first real photographs of the Galaxy S8 and gave each and every feature of the Galaxy S9. So we should trust that we are fortunate enough for this.
On the off chance that the most exceedingly bad happens, in any case, and Samsung continues its current Galaxy Note 9 resource giving-away with just negligible upsides, you won’t need to hold up a long time to see the company doing what is best at. The smartphone Galaxy S10 will have a tenth-anniversary update with an early comparative release. Furthermore, directly from that point onward, Samsung will dispatch something much additionally energizing. But until then, we can do nothing but hold tight.

The leaked information about the Galaxy Note 9 don’t bring something new to the table. However, Samsung has confirmed that it will worth the wait.
According to the newspaper The Korea Herald, Gray G. Lee, head of the AI Center Under Samsung Research, announced that Galaxy Note 9 will have Bixby 2.0 as the smart assistant. Given the fact that last year users ridiculed Bixby on the Galaxy S8, Lee praised the new feature and said it will enhance enhances the performance and user experience, natural language processing and that it will improve noise resistance capability and faster response times.
However, Samsung has failed to keep up with its competitors – Google, Amazon and Apple – regarding artificial intelligence, but is now regaining strength. Lee characterized Bixby 2.0. as an “artificial intelligence platform”, expecting it to run on 14 million Samsung devices by the end of the year. Moreover, the company now has 1,000-strong AI workforce and will step up the game with involving itself with artificial intelligence businesses.
If the arguments above are not convincing enough, a mysterious leaker who goes by the name Ice Universe stated on Twitter that the Galaxy Note 9 will have a UX design that will be interactive for the users which they will benefit from. He went even further to say that we can call the new product Crown UX. It is worth to mention that Ice Universe has been the Galaxy Note 9’s biggest critic in recent weeks, so to read such a statement praising the product makes the launch more intriguing as it was before.
Samsung has had problems with the software before, so an improvement is welcomed. However, there is still a problem with the Galaxy Note 9 hardware. We won’t have to wait long to find out it the software will make-up for this feature.
