Where the Galaxy S9+ starts to pull ahead is in the finer points; the hardware "extras" you don't notice at first. The Galaxy S9+ has an IP68 water resistance rating, whereas the OnePlus 6T doesn't have any IP certification. The GS9+ does this even though it has stereo speakers, a headphone jack, and a microSD card slot — the OnePlus 6T doesn't. The GS9+'s glass back hides wireless charging, as well as dramatically better haptic feedback and vibration.

The Galaxy S9+ has a slightly smaller screen area, but the panel itself is of a higher quality — even a Samsung screen from earlier in 2018 is one of the best available in the industry. The AMOLED screen is higher resolution, has bolder colors, and importantly, much higher peak brightness than what OnePlus ships. The resolution and colors aren't the biggest differentiators, but the high brightness for outdoor visibility is really nice to have in direct sunlight.
