The maximum frequency is 2,900 MHz, not 2,700. https://semiconductor.samsung.com/processor/mobile-processor/exynos-9-series-9810/

I have an S9+. It's a beast. The only disadvantages are the battery and 60Hz display.

As for me, the phone is next to perfect. If the battery allowed longer use this phone would be great.
