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.

Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Review – The Everything Phones

When Samsung Galaxy S9 rumours started circulating, all of them share one common point: it's more of the same. Often times, it does sound like it's a bad thing.

Samsung hasn't made any drastic changes to the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ compared to their predecessors, and the company didn't really need to do much. Last year's design is still stunning, and now, it's a little more polished.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Review: Is the Android phone of the year already here?
Samsung has been the king of the Android phone market for some time now. But is this set to change in 2018 with the release of its latest flagship? Does the S9 have enough to beat the , and ?- Fantastic display
- Feels great
- Much improved speakers
- Average battery life
- Dual-sensor only on Plus model
- Some lag with Samsung's software
Samsung Galaxy S9
The Galaxy S9 is a nice incremental upgrade, but its low-light camera isn't a game changer and some new features fall far behind the iPhone X. S8 owners can skip, but it's a good upgrade from older Androids.- The Galaxy S9 once again proves Samsung's formula of a gorgeous 5.8-inch screen, sexy dual-curved design and terrific camera for well-lit shots can't go wrong
- Whiplash-fast speeds, wireless charging and water-resistance complete the package
- And it looks stunning in purple and blue
- Low-light photos often look blurry and lack the fine texture and contrast of competing phone cameras
- The Galaxy S9's camera frequently, accidentally switches between modes
- 3D avatar software is tragically bad and a new face-unlock tool is inherently insecure.
Despite being launched as a completely new generation, I'd say the Galaxy S9 itself is a transition model. It's more of an upgrade similar to the S-branded models in the iPhone family and which Samsung launched in order to buy more time until more substantial upgrades are ready.And this does make...
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus Smartphone
Unless you have the S8 and S9 side by side, you won't see much of a difference between them, at least while you're looking at them from the front.- Beautiful design
- Superb screen
- Great cameras
- Feature packed
- Impressive performance
- Some features could be slicker
- It's pricey
Love it
I pre ordered this phone and I love it. I've changed from iPhone best bit is when you set the phone up it asks if you want to transfer just plug them in together with adaptor provided and 30 minutes later it was complete. Very impressed. Very user friendly and the camera is amazing!
Samsung Galaxy S9 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
If you're a Samsung Galaxy S8 user, the answer for the title above would be a Yes and No. It may seem like many functions have been implemented for the Galaxy S9 compared to the S8, but not many of them are useful practically when it comes to daily tasks.
Samsung Galaxy S9 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review
Samsung is officially kicking off the year w/ the 1st flagship of 2018: the Galaxy S9. Throughout the years, the Galaxy S line has beefed up the cameras, hardware, battery life, software, & even their name (the 1st 2 versions had names based on the carrier they were on, it was a mess back in the...
