I had not realised how out of date my old S5 was, better security, better battery life and so much more.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.

The Galaxy S9 is all of the good and all of the bad we've come to expect from Samsung

Great design; Beautiful display; Fast performance; Capable camera; A headphone jack; Great design; Beautiful display; Fast performance; Capable camera; A headphone jack

Average battery life; Gimmicks galore; Bixby still sucks; Samsung has a poor history of updating its phones; Average battery life; Gimmicks galore; Bixby still sucks; Samsung has a poor history of updating its phones

The Galaxy S9 is a nice incremental upgrade, but its low-light camera isn't a game changer and some new features fall far behind the iPhone X. S8 owners can skip, but it's a good upgrade from older Androids.

The Galaxy S9 once again proves Samsung's formula of a gorgeous 5.8-inch screen, sexy dual-curved design and terrific camera for well-lit shots can't go wrong; Whiplash-fast speeds, wireless charging and water-resistance complete the package; And it looks stunning in purple and blue

Low-light photos often look blurry and lack the fine texture and contrast of competing phone cameras; The Galaxy S9's camera frequently, accidentally switches between modes; 3D avatar software is tragically bad and a new face-unlock tool is inherently insecure.

We prefer the Samsung Galaxy S9 over its larger sibling S9+. It is not as bulky and the dual-camera is not worth the additional price. The Korean manufacturer once again delivers a really great smartphone, but it is more of a facelift of last year's Galaxy S8 and there are still some bugs, and some...

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

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...
