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

Plus-sized phones often find themselves stuck in a plus-sized niche – but Samsung's Galaxy S9 Plus is different to most. This time around, it's ready to steal the spotlight from the regular S9.

Dual rear cameras for low-light photography; Unrivalled performance

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

Every year the Samsung Galaxy flagship is the most anticipated Android device. And Samsung does enough every year not to disappoint hardcore fans and to show direction to the rest of the industry. This year it has launched the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+.

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

The phone itself has no lag and it performs well with inbound and outbound voice for calls. It took me a while to figure out how to avoid the Samsung-ness and use the native Android apps for almost everything I do on a phone but it has not let me down and the battery easily lasts all day for my...

The Apple iPhone 14 is no match for the just-released iPhone 14 Pro, but if you ignore that, it’s one of the most effective phones around.

Great cameras, front and back, Fast performance, Good battery life, Innovative safety features

Design too familiar, Some average features

The iPhone 14 isn’t much of an upgrade over the iPhone 13, but it’s still a great device and an upgrade for anyone coming from the iPhone 11 or older.

Great camera, Good battery, Emergency features are cool, Still excellent performance
