The phone generally seems fine and as expected from a Samsung although battery life and motion detection/face recognition could be better. The box cane with a seal saying "European SIM only" and all the manuals are non-English. However the adaptor was UK which was weird.

"Thank you for all the great help you gave me in going through the process of put my order through .the phone is excellent for were my son lives the signal can be bad .when the weather is bad he can get snow in .the photos you can take with this phone are than tasket he loves it"

I'm a Samsung girl, so naturally I love this phone. I can't say anything bad about it.

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.

Bought as upgrade/replacement for s7 edge that broke while travelling in europe. Battery life sucks, narrower body is awkward to use, lack of home button makes it more difficult to operate. On the plus side, the camera is a big step up for low light pictures but it's poor value for money.

Great phone, well done Samsung. Has everything you would expect from a Samsung smartphone and more. The pictures are exceptionally vivid and clear and the effects make even better photographs. Sound quality is a definite upgrade on my previous s7, the AKG in-ear headphones are very good quality.

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

After my time with the S9 I have to admit there is a lot to like, and a few things that could use a little improvement here or there. From the front, this looks exactly like the older model the S8, and some people will not like the fact their expensive new smartphone looks the same as their friends...

Samsung's Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus were announced in late February and went on sale in the middle of March. Since that time, ZDNet's Matthew Miller reviewed the bigger Galaxy S9 Plus, proclaiming the device is "Android perfection achieved."

Fast; reliable performance; It has a headphone jack; Reliable camera

Battery life; Super Slo-Mo is good; but not great

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
