I still have an S9 with notification LED and expandable storage. I recently upgraded the SD card to 512gb.
I live in fear of this phone dying, and me having to get something disappointing to replace it.
LG V60 is newer and has an SD slot. That was my last phone and I miss it so much. Next contenders are Motorola G Stylus or bite the bullet and get an Xperia 1 V or VI
performs secret S9 handshake
Mine's in a drawer with the battery removed. If I need a backup phone it's always there. I upgraded about a year and a half ago to the S20FE as it was the most recent with expandable memory. I don't hate it, but it's certainly no where near as good for it's time as the S9 was. My major gripe? The ringtone is so quiet that I often can't hear it from my pocket in a silent room. Which is absolutely ridiculous as the speaker's decently loud. The only way to make notification volume louder is to put a custom ROM on it. I'm perfectly happy to do that, just need to hold off until November when warranty ends, just in case something happens that isn't my fault.
Edit: goddamn I miss the notification LED.......
