Another notable change is how Samsung is differentiating the two devices. While last year's devices both featured a single camera and 4 GB of RAM, that's not the case this year. Spending the extra ~$ 120 on the Galaxy S9 Plus will get you an extra 2 GB of RAM (to 6 GB total) which matches the Galaxy Note 8. It also has a dual camera system, where the S9 just has a single shooter.
While the Essential Phone is a fantastic phone, missed deadlines, broken promises, and leaking customer data killed the shine on the device. But, that's all in the past. What matters now is the device you can purchase today for a touch under $ 500.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 combines power, speed, and beauty to be one of the best smartphones of the year. Samsung simply had to put out an amazing device after the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco and it delivered. The Galaxy Note 8 is expensive at a $ 999 initial asking price, but delivers some of the best performance available on a smartphone today.
LG is also known for putting great cameras in its phones, and the V30 Plus is no exception. The dual camera setup offers one regular lens and one wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view. The video camera is no slouch either offering features like color grading options, point zoom control, log video, and a quick editor mode.
