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

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.

So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9

Smart camera tech; Premium everyday experience; Superb performance

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.

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

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone, but one that didn't really kick on from the Galaxy S8, bringing a very similar design and screen to 2017's version.

Swift biometric security; Awesome low-light performance; Very powerful

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

Last year Samsung didn't unveil a Galaxy smartphone at MWC 17, instead focusing on its manufacturing standards and unveiling the Galaxy S8 a couple of months later. The move proved a smart one, with the Galaxy S8 taking top spot in our books as the best phone of the year.

Impressive design; Bright and crisp display; Great all round camera; High powered processor

Bixby still meh; Not a huge step up from S8

A little over a week ago, Samsung ushered in their new line of Galaxy S devices in the form of the Galaxy S9 an...

This year, Samsung looks to be playing it safe with the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, with two phones that look nearly identical on the surface, but a closer look reveals a different paradigm.

Gorgeous; IP68 water and dust resistant build; Industry-leading display; Incredible Dolby Atmos speakers; 3.5mm audio jack; PMA and WPC wireless charging support; Edge panels are ultra useful; Ultra-fast performance; Samsung Pay is still the best mobile payments solution; Great new biometric...

Only supports QuickCharge 2.0; Camera noise processing is still too heavy; Front-facing camera should be better; New camera interface is terrible; Battery life should be better; Having fewer features on the smaller Galaxy S9 camera is lame
