But ultimately, regardless if additional features are useful or not, they don't hurt the phone at all. You don't have to use them. With respect to these smartphones as a whole, we can easily say they're the best-rounded smartphones you can buy right now.

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...

The S9 is top of the line. This is my 3rd Samsung phone. Ive had an S3 then an S5 which was still going strong after 5 years. So far the S9 has exceeded my expectations.

Dope phone yo.

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...

I went fishing and my phone totally dropped in the water about 1' & 1/2 feet and the water was murky so I couldnt see it. The phone was under for a good 2 minutes when I found it. I right away smacked it dry and blew in the charger port.

The Galaxy S9 is a perfect-sized phone with a fantastic camera and great performance.

Excellent display; Great 5.8-inch size; Good speakers; Strong performance; Stunning low-light camera

Battery life is lower than competition; Slow Android updates; Camera not as versatile as S9 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is now on the shelves, a phone that promises to be one of the best of 2018 - but at first glance, might not seem to be that much of an upgrade.

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

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

Samsung has been the king of the Android phone market for some time now. But is this set to change in 2018 with the release of its latest flagship? Does the S9 have enough to beat the , and ?

Fantastic display; Feels great; Much improved speakers

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

The Samsung S9 is an excellent smartphone – one of the best Android phones you can buy today. The screen, in particular, is superb. The colours are crisp and extremely detailed, and the ample screen real estate makes it well-suited to watching videos in horizontal mode.

Good low-light photography; crisp and detailed screen; slick design

No improvement in battery life; Bixby is still not very useful; intelligent scan has high failure rate
