This is the first time I have ever used a top of the range smart phone after using a Samsung Galaxy A3 16 for 2 years. Battery life out of all the features had been the most impressive part about this phone for me, continuous us using Spotify or similar apps for over 9 hours.

Upgraded from an S7 and was definitely worth it.I was a bit annoyed with the grey as i usually get black phones but this colour looks great. The fingerprint reader location is perfect. The only minor downside is the bixby button. Did they really need a physical button for this

The Galaxy S9+ is a responsive and well-built flagship smartphone that has some serious photographic chops. The wide-angle lens is great, the video quality is impressive and the screen is among the best we've ever seen. Unfortunately, subpar performance from the telephoto lens, a disappointing portrait mode and blurry low-light results hold it back from being a truly standout mobile photographic experience.

High quality video capture, general photography in good lighting conditions, playback of stills and video on the HDR-capable and color-accurate screen.;

Portrait and low light photography, photography of fast-moving subjects like children;

A very capable flagship with lots to love, but the back-step in battery performance is disappointing. The camera is easily the best on the market by a country mile, as is the display, while CPU performance is also great - however, you do pay quite a lot for all this

Excellent display; Top-tier processor performance; Superb best-in-class camera; Attractive design; Waterproofing

Battery life has taken a hit; Expensive; UI foibles

The Galaxy S9+ might be the second-most (after the standard S9 ) iterative flagship Samsung's ever made, and yet it might be the most well-rounded flagship you can buy right now.

Great performance; Excellent cameras; Stunning display

Samsung's flagship smartphone was announced at Mobile World Congress, back in February 2018. Both the S9 and the S9 Plus were announced on the same day, with the S9 Plus being both bigger and having some additional features, particularly to the camera.

I have had this phone for about a month now and it has been absolutely awesome. The fingerprint scanner on the back seems to work really efficiently and I have not had any issues with software/app speed or user-friendliness.

The Galaxy S9+ is one of the best smartphones money can buy—but should you buy it?

Our deep dive testing reinforces the feeling that both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are great phones, sitting atop the market as of their release. Their weaknesses are generally relegated to features rather than capabilities, but there’s always room for improvement.

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
