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
The Samsung Galaxy S9 sits alongside the S9+ as the latest flagship smartphones from Samsung. Both phones are notable in that they are the first smartphones to offer cameras with a variable aperture lens, that is one that you can control yourself.
Samsung Galaxy S9 review: Can you put a price on perfection
Just like the S8 before it, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is the best phone in the world, with lightning-fast performance, a stupendous camera and a lovely design. Unfortunately, it hasn't done enough to surpass its predecessor, which is still almost as impressive whilst being significantly cheaper.- The fastest Android phone we've ever seen
- Amazing low-light camera
- Slick features
- Doesn't do enough to better last year's Galaxy S8
Great color, great design
Better then I expected so far. Still learning all the features. Seems very easy to operate. Transferred all the information from my other phone easily.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Review (Review Samsung Galaxy S9)
The Samsung Galaxy S9 puts the latest LTE bands and a great low-light camera into a smaller form factor than the S9+ for the best one-handed phone right now.- 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.
If you're considering a move from iPhone, dont!
My review isnt fair as I'm sure an android user would think this phone is the bees knees. However I have always been an apple user and for many reasons thought it's time to try android. Ohhhhhhhh nooooooo. So hard! Settings for settings, then other settings in other apps.
Very good HW for this price point now. Have most functions I want and fit well for a medium-sized hand to handle everyday. 3 major caveats that I have seen after having had this phone for a year about: 1) The HW button on the left that is only used for Bixby.
- Very nice phone
- As a former flagship model, it's as fast as I would expect it to be
- I'm not wild about the gold colour, but it was the lowest price
- I also thought the battery life would be a bit better, but it's not too terrible
Great Phone
This Samsung S9 phone might not be the latest and greatest, but it is still a great phone. Relatively compact, large bright screen, very good camera. I was stressing out over picking this phone as I wasn't sure how it would compare to my old S7 Edge, which I loved, but this phone is so much better.
Worth the money
I had not realised how out of date my old S5 was, better security, better battery life and so much more. Great camera, took close up of the back of my watch for infomation, instead of it being a problem because of the sun light it was as clear as a bell.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Review
Following on from the S8, the Samsung Galaxy S9 seemed to be a case of Samsung playing it safe, with not enough changes for our liking to make this a truly stand-out phone. With the launch of the Galaxy S10, the S9 has to be re-evaluated, particularly as its price has dropped. Now, with many similar features to the S10, including the high-quality OLED display and fantastic camera, the S9 is now a great alternative choice for people that want flagship specs but at a lower price, making it arguably a better choice today than it was at launch.- Fantastic display
- Feels great
- Much improved speakers
- Average battery life
- Dual-sensor only on Plus model
- Some lag with Samsung’s software
