It is obvious that the battery is no longer replaceable, but there are also other removed features.
I have been using a Galaxy S3 for a long time, because I wanted to wait for the S6 originally, but it turned out different than expected. I was also open for other phone brands.
However, I am wondering about why certain features from previous Samsung phones are no longer there.
Examples:
Radio - Could be useful to gather traffic information where signal reception strength is too weak (no coverage).
Air View - I looked forward to that feature, because it can give me a video preview like YouTube on the desktop computer. Apparently, that feature is no longer there.
Gestures - Didn't previous Samsung phones have some Air Gestures?
Thermometer - Allows temperature measurement.
Drama Shot - I don't care much, because GIMP and Photoshop can do it better probably.
USB 3.0 - Now, we have USB-C, gladly.
Water resistance - Gladly back again.
Battery size - Unfortunately not much improvement here, over the last years.
FTP file manager - I can use ES File Manager for that. No problem.
MicroSD - Is back again.
Infrared - Would really be nice.
Real home button - Is nice but I can live without it.
There were also other minor features I forgot to mention.
Here is a comparison between Galaxy S5 and S6: https://youtu.be/ksa5HKcqrW8
_________________________________________________
Now, why did Samsung remove certain features in the past such as Air View and Gestures?
I would have liked to own a phone with Air View.
Not sure anyone can explain the reasons for why Samsung does things. I assume it's based on market research, profit margins, etc. like any other business.
As sefrocko said, market research mainly
Is this thread about S6 or Note 8? Wrong forum?
Some examples seem incorrect for Note 8:
Air view is still here!
Radio depends on version, SD (e.g. N950U1) has FM radio.
I agree that with sefrcoko. Also, if you remove feature, you can re-introduce as new. Like multi-window was already possible with Note 2 and Note 10.1 in Android 4.2, disappeared and came back later..

This also applies to the Note 8.
I was originally looking for a general Samsung thread, not one for a specific Samsung phone, but I could not.
I posted at Note 8 instead of S9 because I can remember reading an article from Android Authority in late 2016. I will post the link below when I find it.

A test at a local tech store:
Yes, Air View does partially exist. However, in a diminished way.
Also AirView with fingers is removed.

You created 4 different posts, one after the other, all addressing the same one previous post. You could just have edited your first post and added the new information to that instead of creating extra, unnecessary posts.
on previous galaxy phones maybe like 4 years ago, the video app show thumbnails video all playing a short clips on the video.

As far as I know, only the Note 4 had the former one.
Is there any other one?
Sort of... Note Edge had it.
Searched the entire Note 9 forum for the bloatware removal thread, but cannot open it. I've tried 3 different browsers.
It is circled in red, in the first pic and the resulting screen when selected is the second pic.
Its got 126 replies, but won't open.
Why is this?

The link that was posted here does indeed have an extensive list & has the various commands (I'd use disable,since it ca be reversed vs uninstall,which requires a factory reset to restore).
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79118360&postcount=6
The affected functions/apps are conveniently grouped together,making it much easier to troubleshoot if anything desirable gets broken.

That's a good article/tutorial, but, since it was published, disable/enable commands have been found to work vs uninstall.
If you're absolutely sure you want to uninstall, that's fine, but, I see no advantages vs disabling.
You're not going to be able to repurpose the storage by deleting,& disabling is easily reversible.

Cool, I think you only need to freeze one .apk to disable the system updates.
I had a conversation with someone here recently that was on VZW & IIRC, VZW changed the name of the apk(s) responsible.
If you haven't already isolated which one(s) they are, I could look back at my older posts & get that info...

I'm using Adhell3 as well & have not been prompted to update my T-Mobile Note 9.
Tried out Pie & at least on the Note 9, did not like it at all, akin to how the Note 5 seemed like a downgrade from the Note 4.
If you can't trigger the "Check for Updates" in settings, I'd think that should suffice.

Essentially what @KOLIOSIS already said; use disable user option. Although with Ah3 there is no need it might get handy if keys for Ah3 can't be generated.

Hi guys
I made this app which is currently in Beta. I've had a lot of downloads and I received two emails recently, one to say the app does not work on the S8, and the other to say the app does not work on the Note 8. So I tested my app on the Samsung Remote Test Lab and it seems to be working fine on the S8. I am wondering about the Note 8, as I wasn't able to test Pie on it.
I then thought of asking the S8 and Note 8 forums for help. If you are on Android Pie, could you please try the app and let me know if it does what it is supposed to?
For more info, the XDA thread is: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-easy-dnd-disturb-beta-release-t3917437
The Playstore link is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.strangerweather.easydnd
Needless to say it's a free app. If you could post your findings in this thread I would be very grateful! Cheers!

Hey so, I'm on a note 8 running pie and ive got some information regarding the application.
If you turn DND On
Select Priority Only mode
Enable messages and alarms
(And then check the permissions through Samsung settings)
Everything is fine so far.
But if you then go into priority settings and change anything
It will disregard what you previously selected (in this case messages and alarms)
I will screen record and post it here if you would like.

Nice work?
I have a Chinese version of NOTE 9 SM-N9600 it does not have the s-pen activate switch, so I am trying to install HK rom but when I go into download it comes up with Chinese writing meaning Factory mode.... nothing happens when I plug the cable in.

any Ideas guys really stuck here.
The build number shows G950F which is the Galaxy S8!!! Are you sure this is a Note 9. Can you post a screenshot of the Download/Odin mode screen?
Moreover 'Hardware Qualcomm Technologies inc MSM8998' is the Snapdragon 835 processor which was there in Note 8 and the S8 series. This is one problematic device you have. This is certainly NOT the Note 9 if the processor and the build number were anything to go by.

Going by your post, it may also be that a ROM not meant for the Note is probably flashed on your phone. That would explain the S8 build number. Could you tell me how you are getting into download mode on this? The reason I ask this is because on a Note 9 you can only get into download mode by pressing and holding the Volume down and Bixby buttons together and inserting the USB cable from a switched off state. Also could you post a pic of the screen when you are in download mode.
Also could you install the Device Info Samsung app from the playstore? That will give you definitive info about the genuineness of your device.

Hej...
Maybe You can download app called "DevCheck Hardware and System Info" and see exactly what kind of hardware You have inside Your device...
Or this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo
Besides this, according to picture which You provide, it looks like kind of clone for Samsung devices...
Or i can be wrong...
By the looks of it, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you do not have the Samsung Note 9, or even a Samsung phone at all. It looks to be a clone. The CPU doesn't make sense, the display resolution is wrong, there's no warranty bit, bootloader info is unknown, etc. None of it makes sense for a real Samsung device. The reason you are having an issue with the pen is because there is likely no support in this device for a pen. I hope you didn't pay too much for this phone, and I am willing to bet you did not get this from an authorized Samsung retailer. Unfortunately, if I am right, there is no ROM out there that will solve your problem, and because you don't have an actual Samsung device, there will be no ROM here that will work for you. And because none of us know what device you actually have, none of us would be able to point you in the right direction. Sorry that this happened to you.

@sputnik767 and @terpi74 I had an idea that it was fake but you have to go into the brains to check if I could get a ROM to get the S-Pen working even then I doubt it.

I don't think so then You will be able to find ROM with working S-Pen... You will be lucky if You find any proper ROM for that devices...
Get your money back as soon as possible. Get a genuine device and you can use the S-Pen

In the future, the gcam port is dependenant on the phone it's intended for, otherwise you need to adjust the settings manually.id highly suggest not touching ANY settings in the camera app that are in the " settings" menu. You can change the camera modes and stuff but don't touch the settings menu.
As for whitch version to download, any gcam that is in red and Bold is a stable working non beta version.

Yes I did. You told me what you did, what I should do, gave me a couple links to sites...but you never answered the question. Yes or No would have been sufficient since I know all the other stuff already. I just wanted to know if that link was just for the Pixel, since the article didn't make that clear.
BTW, I have changed many of the settings (as suggested when they came out) in earlier versions to get them to work.
Thanks anyway.
So can anyone point me to the correct gcam for my Note 9 Snapdragon? I assume the latest and greatest Google cam port is pretty much install and use as is? I'm seeing several in Red and bold.. Haven't been keeping up lately. Thanks

And these are the kind of pics it produces (just took this a minute ago).
Everyone says you make no adjustments to the settings, yet unless I'm living on Venus, green pics are not what I want.

that may be but i wonder if the gcam port for SD devices has a hidden load config file menu for .xml profiles like the exynos gcam port has.
i guess only you may be able to check it out.
swipe to the "more" section and tap the black area below...

Nothing happened or appeared, and pictures are the same green tinted.

I have a snapdragon, and the gcam port I listed works perfect on my device. Not sure why it's giving the usual green tint problems with k. The one I linked to has the settings baked into it so it's load and go.

Yes, the one you linked works perfectly on my SD Note 9.
