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 and Galaxy S9+ Review: Standing firm
Just minutes after getting my hands on Samsung's latest flagship S Series smartphone, one fact was abundantly clear - if you weren't fond of the Galaxy S8 and S8+, then you're going to have similar feelings about the S9 and S9+.- Super Slow-mo mode is great (when it works
- One of the best Android cameras out there
- Build quality is superb
- Looks the same as the S8/S8
- Glossy body isn't for everyone
- AR Emoji are lacklustre
Let's not beat around the bush, the exterior of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is essentially a carbon copy of the S8 . Yet, even with all that sameness, Samsung's balanced no-notch design seems more considered than before. It doesn't feel needy like a lot of the new iPhone X copycat handsets I saw at MWC.
- Way better performance
- battery life
- and low-light photos AR Emojis aren't all they are cracked up to be

Samsung Galaxy S9 (64GB, Black) - Excellent review

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 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.
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 (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.
Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ Review – The Everything Phones
Far from playing it safe, Samsung has further refined an already excellent design language, adding in new features and improving what needed improving.

- Camera noise processing is still too heavy
- Front-facing camera should be better
- New camera interface is terrible
- Battery life should be better
- Having fewer features on the smaller Galaxy S9 camera is lame
