Upgraded from an S7 and was definitely worth it.I was a bit annoyed with the grey as i usually get black phones but this colour looks great. The fingerprint reader location is perfect. The only minor downside is the bixby button. Did they really need a physical button for this

A very capable flagship with lots to love, but the back-step in battery performance is disappointing. The camera is easily the best on the market by a country mile, as is the display, while CPU performance is also great - however, you do pay quite a lot for all this

Excellent display; Top-tier processor performance; Superb best-in-class camera; Attractive design; Waterproofing

Battery life has taken a hit; Expensive; UI foibles

The Galaxy S9+ might be the second-most (after the standard S9 ) iterative flagship Samsung's ever made, and yet it might be the most well-rounded flagship you can buy right now.

Great performance; Excellent cameras; Stunning display

Samsung's flagship smartphone was announced at Mobile World Congress, back in February 2018. Both the S9 and the S9 Plus were announced on the same day, with the S9 Plus being both bigger and having some additional features, particularly to the camera.

I have had this phone for about a month now and it has been absolutely awesome. The fingerprint scanner on the back seems to work really efficiently and I have not had any issues with software/app speed or user-friendliness.

It has been the uncrowned king of the Android smartphone kingdom – no phone has been more compared with Android's bête noire, the iPhone, for more than half a decade now. But recent times have seen Samsung's iconic Galaxy S series face an increasing number of challenges not just from Cupertino but...

Great display and sound; Very good cameras; Excellent overall performance

Samsung Experience UI remains cluttered; Camera not "as great" as hyped; On the expensive side

or Samsung Galaxy Note 8 as we'd perhaps liked to have seen. It's also very expensive, but still undercuts the

+ Great dual-lens camera; + Extremely powerful; + Big battery

- Very expensive; - Visually similar to S8; - Bixby isn't great

I'm happy to report that upon initial setup with the Galaxy S9+ the user is given a choice to download Samsung's default apps - or not! Having an out-of-box experience using many stock Google apps creates an experience close enough to a Pixel to make this a nice alternative to Google hardware for...

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is undoubtedly a good phone, if not a very good phone. While not a revolutionary upgrade, Samsung focused on minor improvements and many of these have led to a better smartphone than the Galaxy S8+. However at the same time, several areas of the Exynos model are disappointing.

Attractive, improved design with lots of killer features; Display is still excellent, despite no major upgrades; Strong camera performance

Disappointing performance and battery life from the Exynos model; Glass construction remains fragile; Galaxy S8 owners have no reason to upgrade

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ should be the best phone of its generation, but a number of small grievances unite to diminish its appeal. It's technically capable, to be sure, but it's far from perfect.

Amazing screen; Super powerful; Fantastic camera for pros

Average battery life; Poor quality photos on auto; Bixby is still annoying
