Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB
The Samsung Galaxy S9, like all the new Samsung smartphones, is winning rave reviews, and rightly so! Some of the key features include:
Fantastic Low-light Photos
All of those rave reviews mention the S9's camera, particularly its ability to capture great low-light photos. This is thanks to the F1.5 aperture mode and multi frame noise reduction, so photos taken in a darker light come out bright and detailed. Another game-changing feature is the Dual Aperture lens which adapts, according to Samsung, like the human eye. This means the lens adjusts to various light levels and delivers optimum results in full sunshine or in the shadows of the evening.
A Big Screen In Your Hand
The 6.2-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S9 appears bigger than it really is, thanks to its Infinity Display. Your content, including photos and videos, are taken to the limits of the phone. It's an edge-to-edge display that brings a touch of big screen, cinematic quality to the palm of your hand.
Surrounded By Sound
The S9 offers another cinematic experience beyond the visual realm. Dolby Atmos delivers three-dimensional sound, while the stereo speakers tuned by AKG further enhances the audio capabilities of this smartphone. The new speakers generate 40% higher volume than S8's speakers.
Ready For All Weathers
Unlike many smartphones, the Galaxy S9 can be used effectively and safely in less than ideal weather, thanks to its high IP68 rating so you can continue to send texts or take photos on that ground-breaking camera.
Smart Unlocking
Intelligent Scan is new to the Galaxy S9, combining face recognition and an iris scan for easy unlocking, even in low light.
Interior improvements
Samsung Galaxy S9 looks like the predecessor S8 from the outside except that the fingerprint sensor now resides below the camera. However, there are many improvements inside the shell. New features include cool new AI Emojis and a live translator (just point the camera at a sign or text and it translates the content instantly).
There are four colours to choose from: coral blue, midnight black, lilac purple and titanium grey. The Galaxy S9+ complements S9.
A newer model Samsung Galaxy S10 8GB 128GB was released in November 2018.

So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9- Smart camera tech
- Premium everyday experience
- Superb performance
A little over a week ago, Samsung ushered in their new line of Galaxy S devices in the form of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. The S range has long been the pinnacle of the Android OS ecosystem but saw their lead at the top slowly eroding in recent years until the S8 overturned any of the loses in...
Samsung Galaxy S9 review: Incrementally better in all the right places
The Galaxy S9 is an evolution rather than a revolution, but Samsung has upgraded it in all the right places.- The Infinity Display is even better than the one on the S8
- Camera takes fantastic pics in all kinds of light
- Fingerprint sensor is in a much better...
- Camera features like Dual Aperture and Super Slow-mo are a little gimmicky
- AR Emoji is fun but not as advanced as Apple's Animoji
- The single camera...
Samsung Galaxy S9 review: A refined evolution
While it's not perfect, the Galaxy S9 is a fantastic device. It's got a brilliant display, great camera, brilliant performance all-round, and in a body that's easily one of the most elegant ever released. Its stereo sound makes such a difference to media consumption too.- Brilliant display
- Stereo sound is surprisingly powerful
- Curved glass and metal is very attractive
- Comfortable to use
- Super speedy and fluid performance
- Battery isn't great
- Camera over-exposes highlights regularly
- AR Emoji and Bixby need a lot of improving
- Expensive
Samsung Galaxy S9 review
We're going to have to wait for big jumps in technology, but although the Galaxy S9 only brings a disappointingly small bunch of minor improvements it's still an amazing smartphone that will be hard to beat in 2018.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Review
The Samsung Galaxy S9 forces us to question upgrades for their own sake. On the one hand, there's our desire as consumers to have the very latest tech gadget, even if we don't even use the phone we have now to its full extent.- Galaxy S8's excellent design gets even better
- Screen
- performance & battery all solid
- Camera capable of impressive low-light performance
- Price is competitive
- Intelligent Scan trades security for convenience
- Super Slow-mo is 720p only and needs bright lighting
- Bixby still feels gimmicky
Samsung Galaxy S9 review
Last year, the Galaxy S8 set the bar for the rest of the Android phone world - and now Samsung has raised that bar even further. If not by very much. The S9 fixes old annoyances like the awkwardly-placed fingerprint sensor, adds more power, and streamlines Samsung's already excellent take on Android. The dual aperture camera upgrade gives a welcome low-light boost, too, even if it can't make it the outright best phone for snapping pics with. Does all that make the S9 a particularly exciting upgrade? No, not really - but then it didn't need to be. There are phones with better battery life, phones with a higher screen resolution, and phones that are cheaper - but nothing else truly competes with this as the best all-round handset. Even with the same design, same screen, and a near-identical feature set to the Galaxy S8, it's the phone to buy if you want the best of Android.- Refined, stylish design with gorgeous curved screen
- Improved low-light camera, excellent slo-mo video
- All the features you'd want in a flagship
- Improved camera still can't quite beat the best
- Hard to tell the S9 apart from the S8
- Fingerprint sensor still a bit close to the camera
Samsung Galaxy S9 review: Incrementally better in all the right places
Samsung's Galaxy S9 is a strange breed of smartphone. With a Snapdragon 845 processor, great camera, and 18:9 screen, it has all the trappings of a fantastic 2018 handset. Yet, at the same time, it's remarkably similar to the Galaxy S8 that it replaces.
Samsung Galaxy S9
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a continuation of the path the South Korean company started last year with the Galaxy S8. Both devices are very similar and nearly identical in look and feel.
