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.

[Review] Samsung Galaxy S9 – Powerful camera meets premium design
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a beautifully designed offering that combines powerful performance and one of the best cameras ever seen on a smartphone.- A bit slippery to hold, not cheap
Samsung has hit a home run with the Galaxy S9 and S9+. While it may not look much different to last year's S8, there are still enough new features and abilities to make this one of the best smartphones on the market today.
Samsung Galaxy S9 review review
- 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 and S9+ review: Refinement, refined
The nice thing about the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is that they hold very few mysteries. Go back to our review of the S8 twins last year, and the majority of what you'll read there applies here. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ were great phones, and the S9 and S9+ are better versions of them.- Display An absolutely brilliant screen - the best on any smartphone out there
- Amazing brightness, colors, and viewing angles, Fingerprint scanner The fingerprint scanner is back in a location where it won't give you constant frustration.
- So much glass I mean, this should be obvious - the Galaxy S9 looks kind of fragile
- There's a lot of glass on this phone
- Use a case, Updates Even with Project Treble, Samsung still avoids committing to a period of Android OS updates, let alone timely ones, for its flagship handsets.
The Galaxy S9 is a great phone that doesn't live up to its own hype
The Samsung S9 is an excellent smartphone – one of the best Android phones you can buy today. The screen, in particular, is superb. The colours are crisp and extremely detailed, and the ample screen real estate makes it well-suited to watching videos in horizontal mode.- Good low-light photography
- crisp and detailed screen
- slick design
- No improvement in battery life
- Bixby is still not very useful
- intelligent scan has high failure rate
Review: Samsung's new Galaxy S9 phones make excellence routine
Let's face it: the changes you're going to see in smartphones every year are pretty incremental. With some significant exceptions (I'm looking at you, user interface of the iPhone X ), today's phones aren't all that much different than the phones of three years ago. Faster, yes, More memory, sure.- Solid performance
- classic Samsung design
- Dex dock allows use as desktop computer
- Iris scan feature needs work
- Bixby virtual assistant remains a work in progress
- AR Emoji a half-baked gimmick
Samsung Galaxy S9
The Galaxy S8 was the best phone of 2017. The Galaxy S9 is a little better. The Galaxy S9+ is even better. It's up to you whether the size and cost are worth the power: For us, they are.- Feels great in one hand
- Excellent low-light camera performance
- Better sound and network support than the Galaxy S8
- Not a radical upgrade from the Galaxy S8
- Larger S9+ model has better cameras, more RAM, and stronger Wi-Fi performance
Samsung's improvements to its latest flagship work as promised, but don't feel like features that you'd miss by not upgrading. Still, thanks to blazing performance, solid cameras and long battery life, the Galaxy S9+ continues to uphold the S series' reputation for excellence.
- Dual Aperture effective in low light
- Excellent cameras overall
- Speedy performance
- Long-lasting battery
- Good cameras especially in low light
- Superior performance
- Gorgeous design
- Not a major improvement over last generation
- No major change since last generation
- Lacks the Plus' dual cameras
Samsung Galaxy S9 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
The smartphone as we know it today has been around for about a decade now and while the recent shift in form-factor did breathe some new life into it, there doesn’t seem to be much more “revolutionary firsts” left with this blueprint.
In some ways, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is a serious step up from last year's flagship phone. In particular, its new 12-megapixel f/1.5 rear camera performs far better in low light than its predecessor. Its new Exynos 9810 processor also promises significantly faster performance.
