Good phone but again suffering from the green/yellow/black screen glitch. As countless others have suspected it might be a software issue because turning the screen on using the Always-On display and turning off auto-brightness fixes the issue for the most part. Samsung just doesn't care to issue a software bug fix, even though this glitch has been present for half a decade.

The worst thing about this phone, is finding an upgrade for it. Most things that have expandable storage and a 3.5mm jack don't offer any real feature or performance upgrades. It's starting to get a little tired, but I've had it pretty much since its release date.

In general, the later your firmware version, the less power it uses as it's more optimized. I'm not sure if you can downgrade Android version through Odin on locked bootloader.

You could limit background activity for every app except those you need running in background or don't want killed. This should improve idle battery drain. You can do so in the Apps section located in Settings. Tap the app, go to Battery, and limit background for the app there. I did that on both S9+ and S10+ with LineageOS 20 on them and I got 8 hours SOT with constant screen on using Firefox (I get 12-16 hours on S10+ with Firefox).
If you want a custom ROM you'll need the Exynos variant. I have a S10+ with 8 GB of RAM now because something fried the SIM slot on my previous S9+. Both have LineageOS 20 support (Android 13). So if you want to flash another firmware other than official Samsung's, you'll have to sell the Snapdragon and get the Exynos. Sorry.

i bought the galaxy s9 plus snapdragon (t-mobile) in 2023 few months ago.
everything was good for me about the phone.the camera is okay...not too good not bad either but i installed gcam 8.1 which make the camera great.the phone run soo fluid better than alot of midrange phone I've seen,i play PUBG on smooth graphics and extreme fps and fps is very stable.the only time the fps fluctuate is when i hotdrop even that it just little that i rarely notice it. strong connectivity,display is great,speaker too is good.
but the only issue am facing is battery drain when it idle and even when it swith off and am suspecting is a bug,cuz on usage it doesn't drain battery as you'll think it wil if you're to judge it base on how it drain on idle.i got 4hrs to 4hrs 30min SOC.always on display is of my wifi and location are always turn of but i dont know why.i check the battrry stat in device care,at first i suspect it google play service as it was always on top in battery usage with 17-20% battery usage,but i monitor it and work on it now it use less than 7% battery usage in batery stat.
everything seem okay according to the battery stat but still the idle batery drain is there.my last resort am thinking now is to flash new firmware on it maybe that will stop the idle battery drain.pls anyone that experience same thing,i want to know if flashing new firmware will solve my issue or not.

(e.g. opening unknown files from email, downloading random things off the internet.) Then you might be at risk, personally I use a VPN to block ads, trackers and unwanted malware this help with security. Some enthusiasts android users root their phones to the newer versions. Very few people actually get their phones hacked.
