Bought as upgrade/replacement for s7 edge that broke while travelling in europe. Battery life sucks, narrower body is awkward to use, lack of home button makes it more difficult to operate. On the plus side, the camera is a big step up for low light pictures but it's poor value for money.

Is the standard Galaxy S9 worth a look when the Plus does it so much better? Yes... But only in certain cases

Great design; Fantastic screen; Powerful internals

Lacks the second camera of the S9 Plus

Infinity Display The Samsung Galaxy S9 continues to have the same good looks as its predecessor. There is a Super AMOLED Infinity Display that is near bezel-less. The 5.8" Quad HD+ display has a resolution of 2960 x 1440 pixels.

I switched from iphone to s9 and I wasn't sure at first. After couple of days I fall in love with this phone and to me is better than iphone.

Last year Samsung didn't unveil a Galaxy smartphone at MWC 17, instead focusing on its manufacturing standards and unveiling the Galaxy S8 a couple of months later. The move proved a smart one, with the Galaxy S8 taking top spot in our books as the best phone of the year.

Impressive design; Bright and crisp display; Great all round camera; High powered processor

Bixby still meh; Not a huge step up from S8

Samsung's latest flagship is really good if you spend most of your time in Instagram feeds or creating content for the internet. For everything else the handset is just a marginal upgrade on last year's Galaxy S8 but you'll be pleased to know that the experience has been refined somewhat in a number...

Despite being launched as a completely new generation, I'd say the Galaxy S9 itself is a transition model. It's more of an upgrade similar to the S-branded models in the iPhone family and which Samsung launched in order to buy more time until more substantial upgrades are ready.And this does make...

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is, in terms of hardware and design, an iterative update of last year's Galaxy S8 . The S9 features the exact same screen as last year's phone, the same amount of RAM and storage, the same capacity battery, and an almost identical design, too.

12MP rear camera with dual-aperture technology; Still fabulous Super AMOLED 18.5:9 QHD+ screen; AR Emoji; while not perfect; are lots of fun

Similar specs to the Galaxy S8

The phone generally seems fine and as expected from a Samsung although battery life and motion detection/face recognition could be better. The box cane with a seal saying "European SIM only" and all the manuals are non-English. However the adaptor was UK which was weird.

Great phone, well done Samsung. Has everything you would expect from a Samsung smartphone and more. The pictures are exceptionally vivid and clear and the effects make even better photographs. Sound quality is a definite upgrade on my previous s7, the AKG in-ear headphones are very good quality.
