The Galaxy S9 is both powerful and ergonomic, but there's no telling apart from the older Galaxy S8.

Compact and ergonomic; Bright low-light photos

Conservative performance; Poor battery

Good price; good features

Battery life hasn't improved

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

If you don't read the rest of this review, the short answer is yes. Samsung's Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ represent the very best of smartphone technology at the moment, and likely for many months to come. Let's throw out a few quick opinions: That's what leads us to the downsides.

8.0 OREO ANDROID IS NEW OTHERWISE NOTHING NEW

Octacore; 6 GB ram; 128 GB ROM; 8.0 OREO

3500 mah battery is little bit small

A little over a week ago, Samsung ushered in their new line of Galaxy S devices in the form of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. The S range has long been the pinnacle of the Android OS ecosystem but saw their lead at the top slowly eroding in recent years until the S8 overturned any of the loses in...

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

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

Samsung has done some pretty impressive upgrades on the Galaxy S9. It's got a slightly more compact in an almost identical design, a more practical placement of the fingerprint scanner and an inclusion of stereo speakers are all nice.

Impressive performance; Very nice display; Great camera performance; Loud; stereo speakers; Fast wireless charging; Water resistance

Battery life did not improved; Super expensive

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...
