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's latest flagship is really good if you spend most of your time in Instagram feeds or creating content for the internet. For everything else the handset is just a marginal upgrade on last year's Galaxy S8 but you'll be pleased to know that the experience has been refined somewhat in a number...

Great Successor to the S8

I had the Galaxy S8 and the I-Phone 8 Plus and this phone is excellent for the most part. The battery life is good given I keep the display set on QHD. Why keep it on HD or FHD if the screen resolution is QHD I find that a charge does last me the day with adjustments to increase battery life.
Pros:
  • QHD+ Display
  • Good Battery Life
  • on Standby
  • Keyboard input is fast
  • Dolby Atmos is Great sounding
  • AKG Earphones
  • Fingerprint Sensor Good
  • Camera is Great
  • Photos come out well
Cons:
  • Speakerphone a bit low
  • Some Ringers are low in volume
  • Battery drains fast if screen stays on

Pros:
  • Dual Aperture effective in low light
  • Excellent cameras overall
  • Speedy performance
  • Long-lasting battery
  • Good cameras especially in low light
  • Superior performance
  • Gorgeous design
Cons:
  • Not a major improvement over last generation
  • No major change since last generation
  • Lacks the Plus' dual cameras

Samsung Galaxy S9 Review: Class Glass

So, my final words for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ would be that these are the best options for flagship devices in Nepal right now. Yes, the iPhone X is a direct competitor but is a little bit expensive, the Mate 10 Pro is has begun to lose its charm and the Huawei P20 Pro is yet launch here.
Pros:
  • Top-quality display
  • Sleek Design
  • Minimalistic Bezels
  • Great Camera
Cons:
  • Battery Life
  • Unfinished AR Emoji
  • Low-quality slow-motion video @960fps

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.
Pros:
  • Refined, stylish design with gorgeous curved screen
  • Improved low-light camera, excellent slo-mo video
  • All the features you'd want in a flagship
Cons:
  • 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
