does not have radio

If you already have the S9, the main difference between that and the S10+ would be the bigger screen, slightly better performance, ect... but they are both very similar, and the S9 can do probably 90% of what the S10+ can do anyway. If you are happy ...

Are you happy switching to S10+ ? Because I'm thinking of switching to S10+ as well.. Could you tell me the visible differences in both? Please?
