Loving this phone so far. Upgraded from the Galaxy S6 edge and I'm really enjoying the quality of the screen, camera, and overall layout of this phone. I love the side panel for frequently used apps instead of having them covering the home screen.

I am very glad I bought the Samsung Galaxy S9+ from B&HPhotoVideo. It came with the Tempered Glass Protector which actually protected the glass surface of the cell phone. Having upgraded from Galaxy S5, it has a lot of new features that I am still learning how to use.

Samsung already had some of the best-looking, most desirable smartphones around, so the Galaxy S9+ didn't need to do much to continue the trend.The biggest improvements are the camera, the processing performance and some software refinements.

The best screen on a smartphone; Versatile dual-lens camera; Fantastic performance; Eye-catching design

Little has changed from last year

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is possibly the most fully-featured smartphone on the market. It offers out-of-the-box functionality that exceeds most other devices. It's one of the leaders of a new generation of hardware, pushing one of the nicest quality designs with one of the best displays around.

New speakers are amazing; Great camera performance in low light; Great design and display; Out-of-the-box functionality surpasses rivals; 3.5mm headphone socket

You might never find all the features; Display can crush shadows in movies; Camera could be better with HDR; Price

Simply put, the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is a bigger version of the Samsung Galaxy S9. (Check out our Samsung S9 review to find out more about the S9 Plus's smaller sibling.) And this comes without the S9 Plus being that much different to last year's Samsung Galaxy S8, either.

Standout dual-lens camera system; Luxe 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display; Better-placed fingerprint sensor

Similar to Galaxy S8 Plus; More expensive than S9

Update: Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is now available. Here's what we thought of the newest Android phone with a large screen.

Impressive low-light camera; Better-placed fingerprint sensor; Loud stereo speakers

Not all that different to S8 Plus; AR Emoji mode is overrated; Pricey for 0.4 in of extra screen

Improving on an already near-perfect phone was always going to be difficult for Samsung, but the Galaxy S9 Plus has fixed the select few problems we had with last year's Trusted Reviews Phone of the Year.

Feels great for a big phone; The OLED display is great and highly customisable; Numerous camera features on offer

Iterative upgrade; AR Emoji are just bad; Some lag with Samsung's software

Dual cameras come to Samsung's Galaxy S9 Plus, and they're reason enough to divert your gaze away from the regular Galaxy S9

Dual rear cameras for low-light photography; Unrivalled performance

Battery life isn't as good as last year's; Very expensive

The Galaxy S9+ is undoubtedly an excellent phone and improves on the S8+ with its blazing-fast internals and variable aperture camera. However, as it's £100 more expensive than its predecessor, potential buyers might find themselves opting for last year's model instead.

Gorgeous design and screen; excellent camera; blazing-fast performance

Average battery life; 'Intelligent Scan' is glitchy; duplicate apps; Bixby still needs work

Just put on my new phone today it's brilliant, covers all the edges well and the screen is transparent so no need to keep opening the phone to see time etc.
