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

Overall Samsung's Galaxy S9+ looks just like its predecessor - but it is a better phone than last year's version, and an even closer performance competitor to Apple's iPhone 8/8 Plus and X handsets thanks to the very fast Snapdragon 845 in the U.S. version.

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 latest flagship from Samsung has not only to offer large display but a new dual-camera and a powerful octa-core chip that proves it's better than the predecessor. What's new to the phone is the addition of the super slow motion recording (960 fps), AR stickers, Intelligent Scan and more, find...

Poor Battery Life

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.

After the launch of Apple's 10 th anniversary iPhone X , all eyes were on Samsung to check whether the Korean smartphone giant could deliver a smartphone that could one-up Apple's new Face ID technology along with its edge-to-edge display, which also introduced the annoying notch.

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.

no dual-VoLTE; worse battery runtimes than predecessor; long charging time; SoC throttling under constant load; no warranty for damage caused by liquids

I just got my new phone yesterday I upgraded from S7edge this S9+ is totally redesigned with so many exciting new features.

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

Samsung has launched the first set of main-stream flagships for 2018 – the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The two phones bring forward several improvements and refinements, the most notable being the ‘reimagined camera'.
