p1 ama replied to  hippo2s on Huawei Mate 20x (Vs Mate 20 Pro)
I agree, but I really think that the S9+ is really just a big S9 and a Note 9 is an even bigger S9 (5.8", 6.2" and 6.4" respectively). I...

Well that's their choice. Just like it's yours to choose whether you want to use cash or card.

Why is this an issue? Sometimes people are nice, sometimes people are rude. That's life. You got what you want, so I don't see the problem.

Yes, but given the issues, that was what was likely and either way it ended up being the case.

It's a glitch, you can try your luck, but it'll likely be caught before it's shipped out.
