S9+ has the same size battery as the s8+ 3500mah.

Yeah, I was thinking about the s7 edge which is 3600.

You'll need to ask for the BYOD card probably. Only like 2 popular mid range devices uses it so it's a pretty rare card to have around. 

Just make sure they get the card with such specified info. 
I stopped by a corporate Sprint store & showed the associate your table & he sold me this card.

The BYOD SIM Kit number on the package, which is on the bar code, shows a matching number: 760492036429. It also says BYODSKVer3.0

UPC on the card says: 854798005170

Part #: SIMOLW506TQ

On the SIM card & underneath the ICCID, it says: SOI0002a.

The tech said it'll work with the S9/S9+. Is this true, you think?

Yep that's the right one!

 

The third BYOD Sim type (CSIM, ISIM v1, ISIM v2).

My phone is in Philly now lol, too bad I'll be at work when it's delivered. :( Nice gift to come home to though, and rf comparisons will be done before I switch over. Hoping XPUE actually works on this one doesn't make a difference on this 8+.

Mine suppose to be delivered tomorrow, I'll post my observations on RF and HPUE tomorrow.  My house sits around three Sprint cell sites, two of them running 2500MHz.

Is it just regular purple?

The lilac purple looks much better than I thought.

Phone in hand, uninstalling all the bloat and updating apps etc so far I can notice a decent difference in performance compared to the 8+.

 

Yes MSL is still 000000, unfortunately the default priority list is B25, 26 and then 41 so I had to change that to what it's supposed to be 41, 25 and then 26... Sprint loves to mess this up every time with a new Samsung device. Other than the bloat I like it. :)

How is the RF?

From my limited testing it's about the same on B25 at my house, rarely get B26 or B41 at home lol so I wasnt able to test those. But my S8+ was sitting at 91dBm and my S9+ was sitting at 91dBm after I activated it.

That's not an error. Remember what this list is for. It is for the initial LTE scan. The best band for the phone to scan for is B25. It is the most likely LTE band to be available across the country. B41 or B26 is not guaranteed everywhere. Once you are connected to LTE, the network will dictate what LTE band you are on based on signal strength and availability. If B41 is available, you will be pushed to that relatively quickly.

That may be but I overrode that lol.

    • Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.
    • Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.
    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
