Samsung Galaxy S9+ Review: Still The #1 Android Phone

Pros: Excellent display, Top-tier processor performance, Superb best-in-class camera, Attractive design, Waterproofing
Cons: Battery life has taken a hit, Expensive, UI foibles
Verdict: 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

Cons: - Very expensive, - Visually similar to S8, - Bixby isn't great
Verdict: or Samsung Galaxy Note 8 as we'd perhaps liked to have seen. It's also very expensive, but still undercuts the

Pros: Great display and sound, Very good cameras, Excellent overall performance
Cons: Samsung Experience UI remains cluttered, Camera not "as great" as hyped, On the expensive side
Verdict: 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...

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Review: Enter the Snapdragon 845

Verdict: 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...

Pros: Attractive, improved design with lots of killer features. Display is still excellent, despite no major upgrades. Strong camera performance
Cons: Disappointing performance and battery life from the Exynos model. Glass construction remains fragile. Galaxy S8 owners have no reason to upgrade
Verdict: 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.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review: A disappointing fall from grace

Pros: Amazing screen, Super powerful, Fantastic camera for pros
Cons: Average battery life, Poor quality photos on auto, Bixby is still annoying
Verdict: 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.

Verdict: 6.2" Infinity Display The Samsung Galaxy S9+ has one of the largest screens you will find on any smartphone. The 6.2" Super AMOLED Infinity Display is near bezel-less, making it far easier to hold.

Pros: Spectacular HDR Screen, High-Quality Camera, Good Android Oreo Integration, Fun Features like Super Slow-Mo Video, Loud and Crisp Stereo Speakers
Cons: Battery life could be better, No update in design, Fingerprint Magnet
Verdict: 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.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Smartphone Review

Pros: stylish design, great display, fast SoC, expandable storage, LTE Cat. 18, stereo speakers, IP67, good sensor equipment, USB 3.1 with DP, HDMI, and OTG, wireless-charging, great dual camera, optional dual-SIM (Duos model
Cons: no dual-VoLTE, worse battery runtimes than predecessor, long charging time, SoC throttling under constant load, no warranty for damage caused by liquids
Verdict: With the Galaxy S9 Plus, Samsung has managed to create a great smartphone again that received many sensible improvements but no real innovations. The main camera's two aperture levels are a great thing to have and work well in everyday life. Samsung has also optimized the image quality further.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review: Greater than the sum of its parts

Verdict: You can probably gather by now that Samsung Galaxy S9+ is a pretty good smartphone. It has a modern design that looks sleek, while also offering a display that is bright, vibrant, and crisp.

Verdict: I'll quote my own words for this conclusion. The Samsung Galaxy S9 is nothing more than a transition model in anticipation of what hopefully can be a massive overhaul planned for 2019.

Pros: Brilliant display, Good primary Dual Aperture and secondary Telephoto cameras, Good performance
Cons: Same old front camera, Bixby still needs improvement
Verdict: Overall the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is a good upgrade to the Galaxy S8+. Even though it has the same display, it has slightly smaller bottom bezels, packs a faster processor with 6GB RAM, comes with a better dual-aperture and telephoto rear cameras, which is a huge improvement compared to the S8+, stereo...

Cons: Average battery life, 'Intelligent Scan' is glitchy, duplicate apps - and Bixby still needs work
Verdict: The Galaxy S9+, like its predecessor, is an excellent smartphone with a fabulous screen and great performance. It's also more power-efficient and can be charged all the way up to 100 per cent in around 80 minutes.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ Review: A Facelift Simply Perfecting The Galaxy S8+

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is a perfect flagship to cater to all your smartphone needs. If you have the budget for the Samsung Galaxy S9+ then go for it. Of course, there will be many Android brands which will offer an almost similar smartphone for less than the half the price but the difference in that...

Pros: Great camera for both stills and video, Infinity Display still great
Cons: Battery life, Bixby still kinda mediocre, Your mileage may vary on AR emojis
Verdict: Though it'd be easy to talk down Samsung's bold claim that the new Galaxy S9 and S9+ "reimagine" the camera, it's hard to argue that putting that particular aspect of their latest flagship smartphone front-and-center isn't a savvy move by the South Korean tech giant.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review

Verdict: Generation 9 in plus size - this is the Samsung Galaxy S9+. Unlike last year when the S8 and the S8+ had just size setting them apart, in 2018 Samsung's Plus means more than higher battery capacity and larger display diagonal - the S9+ has an extra camera on its back too.

Verdict: As always, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ isn't the perfect smartphone, but then what really is? Manufacturers on the Android system have found their niches and specialities; while OnePlus might be known for its performance and speed, Google Pixel phones are reputed for camera and software.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

Pros: The Galaxy S9 Plus one-ups the excellent Galaxy S9 with a second rear camera for taking portrait photos
Cons: 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
Verdict: Samsung's Galaxy S9 Plus is the more robust Galaxy S9, and the one for power users to get.

Verdict: When we reviewed Samsung's large-screened new Galaxy smartphone last year, the Galaxy S8+ , we described it as "futuristic" for its huge display and edge-to-edge design.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review: Plus finally means something

Pros: - Best allrounder, - Camera innovation with variable aperture, - Great design, - Software brings secure features like Secure Folder, - S8+ complaints fixed
Cons: Large, slippery and fragile, Camera needs update for low light, AR Emoji needs work, Version of Android Oreo already outdated, Inteligent Scan needs update
Verdict: It's interesting when a company uses a bold statement like: "The camera reimagined," all while referring to a smartphone. It actually took me a few days to understand the purpose for a camera to be added to my Motorola V600 back in 2004.

Samsung S9 Plus review: the most powerful and elegant big phone in the world

Pros: Standout dual-lens camera system, Luxe 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display, Better-placed fingerprint sensor
Cons: Similar to Galaxy S8 Plus, More expensive than S9
Verdict: 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.

Cons: battery life could be better, very similar to S8+ design, Bixby button can't be remapped
Verdict: Last year's Galaxy S8+ was slightly held back by a few annoying niggles, such as the awkward fingerprint sensor placement, all of which have been rectified in the Galaxy S9+. Samsung could certainly be accused of simply recycling last year's design, but it was really great in 2017 and is just as...

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus review

Pros: Impressive dual-lens camera, Better-placed fingerprint sensor, Loud stereo speakers
Cons: Not all that different to S8 Plus, AR Emoji mode is overrated, Expensive for 0.4 inches of extra screen
Verdict: You won't find a bigger and better Android phone than the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, thanks to its oversized 6.2-inch curved screen and low-light-defeating dual-lens camera. Sure, it looks exactly like last year's S8 Plus, but it does fix the fingerprint sensor location (it's now center-aligned on the...

Verdict: The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is the second of two Galaxy S9 phones launched by Samsung at 2018's MWC technology show and on first impressions it's the better phone of the two.

Verdict: Love the phone, set up is a little different then old phone. That is to be expected though with a new gen phone, compared to last one. Don't have much on it, also don't have a SD card for it yet. Though only having it for about a month, haven't had any major issues as of yet.
