Samsung's Galaxy S9 Plus is the more robust Galaxy S9, and the one for power users to get.

The Galaxy S9 Plus one-ups the excellent Galaxy S9 with a second rear camera for taking portrait photos

Battery life fell short of last year's model in our early tests, and the Galaxy S9 Plus suffers from the same underbaked extras as the smaller Galaxy S9; The dual-aperture camera tends to overexpose low-light photos in auto mode

The Galaxy S9 Plus is a masterpiece.

Gorgeous design; Brilliant; colorful display; Feature-packed camera; Excellent low-light photo quality; Good sound from stereo speakers

Battery life could be better; Live Focus produces fuzzy photos

One final attribute for the Galaxy S9+ that we need to weigh in is cost. Fortunately, we're already seeing both the with a March 16th availability date. The Galaxy S9+ retails for $839 unlocked while an S9 weighs in at $719.

Gorgeous; Refined; Slightly Smaller Design; Samsung Super AMOLED Is The Best; Fastest Android Phone On Market Now; Amazing Camera Performance; Innovative Features; Solid Battery Life

Pricey; Camera Modes Twitchy With Accidental Actuation; Black Units Are Smudge Magnets

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

I've had it for over a month now and i am amazed by it. I previously had the S7 not edge variant. Its a big improvement but i wouldn't recommend upgrading from the s8 or s8 plus to it. Only if you are too tired of the fingerprint scanner :D. But seriously guys. Great display, super fast performance.

If you love taking pictures and want to stand out from the crowd, you simply cannot ignore the Galaxy S9+. When compared to other expensive flagship devices, Samsung has a lot more to offer and it is significantly lower as it is priced at Rs 64,900.

Spectacular HDR Screen; High-Quality Camera; Good Android Oreo Integration; Fun Features like Super Slow-Mo Video; Loud and Crisp Stereo Speakers

Battery life could be better; No update in design; Fingerprint Magnet

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.

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
