Samsung Galaxy S9 (256GB, Midnight Black) - Excellent review
There’s no doubting that Samsung’s Galaxy S9+ is a top phone, and given what it had to work with, it’s no surprise. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ were excellent handsets, clones of each other set to bigger sizes, and using those as a template practically guarantees more excellence from Samsung.
Pros:
- Still a great design, Fantastic performance, Some of the fastest 4G around, Excellent screen, Really solid camera, Fingerprint sensor is in a better location, Biometric security is good, Water resistant, Supports wireless charging, Includes a decent pair of wired AKG in-earphones and a case in the...
Cons:
- Low-light isn't great for video, AR Emoji is a very unimpressive gimmick, Battery life could be better, Bixby can get it very, very wrong, Expensive

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 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.

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.

Review: Samsung's new Galaxy S9 phones make excellence routine
Let's face it: the changes you're going to see in smartphones every year are pretty incremental. With some significant exceptions (I'm looking at you, user interface of the iPhone X ), today's phones aren't all that much different than the phones of three years ago. Faster, yes, More memory, sure.
Pros:
- Solid performance
- classic Samsung design
- Dex dock allows use as desktop computer
Cons:
- Iris scan feature needs work
- Bixby virtual assistant remains a work in progress
- AR Emoji a half-baked gimmick

Samsung Galaxy S9
The Galaxy S8 was the best phone of 2017. The Galaxy S9 is a little better. The Galaxy S9+ is even better. It's up to you whether the size and cost are worth the power: For us, they are.
Pros:
- Feels great in one hand
- Excellent low-light camera performance
- Better sound and network support than the Galaxy S8
Cons:
- Not a radical upgrade from the Galaxy S8
- Larger S9+ model has better cameras, more RAM, and stronger Wi-Fi performance

Pros:
- Dual Aperture effective in low light
- Excellent cameras overall
- Speedy performance
- Long-lasting battery
- Good cameras especially in low light
- Superior performance
- Gorgeous design
Cons:
- Not a major improvement over last generation
- No major change since last generation
- Lacks the Plus' dual cameras

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ review: Refinement, refined
The nice thing about the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is that they hold very few mysteries. Go back to our review of the S8 twins last year, and the majority of what you'll read there applies here. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ were great phones, and the S9 and S9+ are better versions of them.
Pros:
- Display An absolutely brilliant screen - the best on any smartphone out there
- Amazing brightness, colors, and viewing angles, Fingerprint scanner The fingerprint scanner is back in a location where it won't give you constant frustration.
Cons:
- So much glass I mean, this should be obvious - the Galaxy S9 looks kind of fragile
- There's a lot of glass on this phone
- Use a case, Updates Even with Project Treble, Samsung still avoids committing to a period of Android OS updates, let alone timely ones, for its flagship handsets.
