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

After using a Pixel xl with stock Android I expected a lesser experience with the Samsung (my last one was an S6). The latest Samsung skin is actually pretty good and there is no compulsion to use Samsung apps so it can be set up pretty much as you like.

For 10 months I have used my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus. It is undoubtedly the best phone I have owned so far. It's really fast, just big and has a fantastic camera. The fabulous screen covers more or less the entire front of the phone.

good perfomence good display nice camera quality i like very much

Samsung might not have gone for any big gimmicks, that is if you can forget and forgive, the AR emoji. But in the process, it has made the Galaxy S9+ a solid phone with top of the line processing, the best Android camera and the best iteration of almost every other feature that you want in a...

Glad I upgraded my phone..

A big, blockbuster phone that awesome at pretty much everything. It’ll probably be too big for most people though.

Stellar screen; Top-notch camera; Incredibly powerful

Almost unchanged design; Uncomfortable to hold for some

When I first picked up the Galaxy S9+ I was certain it would be the better phone of the two new Samsungs. Now I’m not so sure. Dual cameras aside, there’s barely any difference between the two phones and I just find the standard S9 easier to hold. To me at least, that’s a bigger deal than being able to zoom in a little bit more than normal on your photos. If the S9+ is a better fit for you, then you’ll have quite the phone on your hands. Especially if you didn’t get ahold of a Galaxy S8 last year. ‘Cos when you add up all of this handset’s myriad charms it’s a truly awesome proposition with a superb screen, handsome design and one of the best cameras around. That’s a level of refinement that only the iPhone X and Google Pixel 2 XL can come close to. Plus, this phone won’t set you back a thousand quid. So while Samsung’s Galaxy S9+ truly is a little bit boring, it’s exceptionally good. And one of those qualities outweighs the other by quite some margin.

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