Samsung Galaxy S9 (256GB, Midnight Black) - Excellent review
The smartphone as we know it today has been around for about a decade now and while the recent shift in form-factor did breathe some new life into it, there doesn’t seem to be much more “revolutionary firsts” left with this blueprint.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review: The brightest star in the Samsung galaxy
The Samsung S9+ is a solid upgrade on last year’s flagship. The package not just has a delicate yet premium design but also has saturated and immersive display, good stereo speakers, best in class processor, ample RAM and storage, impressive camera and a well-performing battery.

In some ways, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is a serious step up from last year's flagship phone. In particular, its new 12-megapixel f/1.5 rear camera performs far better in low light than its predecessor. Its new Exynos 9810 processor also promises significantly faster performance.

Samsung hasn't made any drastic changes to the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ compared to their predecessors, and the company didn't really need to do much. Last year's design is still stunning, and now, it's a little more polished.

Samsung Galaxy S9
The Galaxy S9 is a nice incremental upgrade, but its low-light camera isn't a game changer and some new features fall far behind the iPhone X. S8 owners can skip, but it's a good upgrade from older Androids.
Pros:
- The Galaxy S9 once again proves Samsung's formula of a gorgeous 5.8-inch screen, sexy dual-curved design and terrific camera for well-lit shots can't go wrong
- Whiplash-fast speeds, wireless charging and water-resistance complete the package
- And it looks stunning in purple and blue
Cons:
- Low-light photos often look blurry and lack the fine texture and contrast of competing phone cameras
- The Galaxy S9's camera frequently, accidentally switches between modes
- 3D avatar software is tragically bad and a new face-unlock tool is inherently insecure.
