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.

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.

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

Speakerphone a bit low; Some Ringers are low in volume; Battery drains fast if screen stays on

I upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to the S9. There is a lot to get used to but it is definitely an improvement. Except for the bluetooth. The bluetooth is inconsistent. It never automatically connects to my car like the S3 did. Often it takes several scans and selections before it connects.

I was struggling with my Samsung s6 model due to no more updates from Samsung and my camera had a crack I had to upgrade so i did the S9 its a nice phone but I believe its still lacking camera benefits the S6 had a better camera in my opinion 16MP to S9 12MP believe me I can tell the difference just...

Purely impressed! An amazing piece of hardware from Samsung which - to me - excels in all things hardware related, and this is no exception. There is not a single element of the hardware (screen, battery, size, ports, camera, hardware specifications, resilience, and so forth) that isn't outstanding...

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.

I was very hesitant at first, because I've had LG for a very long time, but I decided to make the switch to the galaxy S9. And I love it! Very easy to use, great camera, has pretty much everything I need. Glad I made the switch!

Samsung Galaxy S9 is a small update to an already excellent phone. On first glance, it looks as though it has barely been updated over 2017's Galaxy S8. Look below the surface though and there's actually quite a lot going on. The competition in 2018 is arguably more fierce than it's ever been.

Fantastic display; Feels great; Much improved speakers

Average battery life; Dual-sensor only on Plus model; Some lag with Samsung's software

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is, in terms of hardware and design, an iterative update of last year's Galaxy S8 . The S9 features the exact same screen as last year's phone, the same amount of RAM and storage, the same capacity battery, and an almost identical design, too.

12MP rear camera with dual-aperture technology; Still fabulous Super AMOLED 18.5:9 QHD+ screen; AR Emoji; while not perfect; are lots of fun

Similar specs to the Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is the phone that's supposed to lead the charge where the Galaxy S8 , one of the best phones we've ever tested, left off - but it's not as much of an upgrade, even though it's our top pick for best camera phone .

Swift biometric security; Awesome low-light performance; The most powerful Android phone out

Design is identical to S8; Some camera snaps lack vibrancy; Expensive
