The Samsung Galaxy S9 sits alongside the S9+ as the latest flagship smartphones from Samsung. Both phones are notable in that they are the first smartphones to offer cameras with a variable aperture lens, that is one that you can control yourself.

My review isnt fair as I'm sure an android user would think this phone is the bees knees. However I have always been an apple user and for many reasons thought it's time to try android. Ohhhhhhhh nooooooo. So hard! Settings for settings, then other settings in other apps.

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.

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

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.

Very nice phone; As a former flagship model, it's as fast as I would expect it to be

I'm not wild about the gold colour, but it was the lowest price; I also thought the battery life would be a bit better, but it's not too terrible

I had not realised how out of date my old S5 was, better security, better battery life and so much more. Great camera, took close up of the back of my watch for infomation, instead of it being a problem because of the sun light it was as clear as a bell.

The Galaxy S8 was the best phone of 2017. The Galaxy S9 is a little better. The Galaxy S9+ is even better. It's up to you whether the size and cost are worth the power: For us, they are.

Feels great in one hand; Excellent low-light camera performance; Better sound and network support than the Galaxy S8

Not a radical upgrade from the Galaxy S8; Larger S9+ model has better cameras, more RAM, and stronger Wi-Fi performance

So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9

Smart camera tech; Premium everyday experience; Superb performance

Very good HW for this price point now. Have most functions I want and fit well for a medium-sized hand to handle everyday. 3 major caveats that I have seen after having had this phone for a year about: 1) The HW button on the left that is only used for Bixby.
