And About Nokia they improved really fast.

    Anonymous, 11 Mar 2018Pixel/Nexus was never the best phone and never will be. You... moreYou're a fanboy, thus your opinion becomes irrelevant.

    S9 is nothing more than a expected rehash of S8 with typical yearly upgrades.

    The pixel lineup is well-respected by all the tech communities. That's proof right there why it's such an excellent product. On the other hand, the tech opinion about your favorite Galaxy phones is very divided, which shows that it's a half-arsed product.

      AnonD-731363, 11 Mar 2018Man wrong. This will belong to Nokia 9. It will be the be... moreNo. Nokia is on the right path, but they need a few years to get their position back. I'd say they'd be on the top again within 5 years... that is if they don't drift away from the right track.

      For the moment, the Pixels are probably the most satisfying phones of the bunch. At least in my opinion.

      Razer phone is good, but they really need to improve their camera game.

        Anonymous, 12 Mar 2018You live in the past. Note and S series is not different... moreThat is your thinking logically speaking, what I said is still the fact of why they did that, how is that fact irrelevant already? Yeah they are not differentiated for most aspects, but isn't the NOTE meant for business? Unless u are trying to say that either one series have to die...

            xXENDER FREAKXx, 12 Mar 2018This is the part where u are wrong, and it applies to those... moreYou live in the past.

            Note and S series is not differentiated. They are as much for the pro crowd as they are not.

            The only reason Note 8 and S8+ were different named phones was the simple reason of money grabbibg. Which of course bacck fired. Samsung flagships sell less tha ever.

            They have to get back in being leaders instead of followers as well as return in making pro phones (one that doesn't last the day is a toy, period, removable batts have to return to their professional line).

            But I doubt it will happen. They will follow the fate of blackberry. Slowly but surely become irrelevant...

              S9+ logically is better phone, so no hesitation pick, but both are overpriced not as stupidly as iPhone X but still very expensive and not closely becoming not recommended, will be a lot of phones this year which will be very close to S9 capabilities for almost half the price

                    Gsmarena, May I choose neither of them, if you don't mind.......................

                      AnonD-694886, 11 Mar 2018It's the first S845 phone on the market, why are you even c... moreI got the exynos version actually. And trust me. If the qualcomm version was more powerful. I would've chosen other devices.

                        AnonD-708551, 11 Mar 2018Why do they have the plus at all? Just make 6" S9 and 6.4" ... moreThis is the part where u are wrong, and it applies to those people who think that there isn't a need to have a "+" variant of the smartphone like currently, the GALAXY S9. But think of this, people want a bigger screen, more RAM, dual cameras and a bigger battery. And when I said this people will be like "Oh, even the GALAXY NOTE8 have it" Yes, it have it, but have u ever thought about the S-Pen? The GALAXY NOTE8 is particularly meant for the business users, with the use of S-Pen often. For a normal user if they buy the GALAXY NOTE8 most would think that the S-Pen is considered as "useless" because they use it almost seldom. The "+" variant is meant for the normal users who want the same features as the GALAXY NOTE8 if they want the GALAXY S8+ in comparison but with the exception of the S-Pen, that's it. Lets say they follow what u said right now; they increase the screen size to 6" and drop the "+" variant, then are they being considerate for the users? Doing this would make the users who want bigger screen complain, because it is kind of smaller than what they want (Since it is rocking a 18:9 display, 6" is equivalent to a 5.5" 16:9 aspect ratio display, but kind of bigger since theirs is 18.5:9), and this would also affect those who use the GALAXY S9 at 6" if SAMSUNG is following what u said because it is too big, those using 5.8" 18.5:9 (Approximately equivalent to 5.3" 16:9) would say "It is just right", but when they hold a 5.5" it would be hard because for them holding a 5.3" is already "Just right", then wouldn't holding a 5.5" get even worse? Not reprimanding u but, looking at what I said, wouldn't removing the "+" variant and increasing the GALAXY S9 to 6" 18.5:9 (Approximately 5.5" 16:9) make it a problem for the buyers?

                          S9 if want to use normal app, casual user.

                          S9+ if want dex station, Eye issue.. need giant text.

                          Buying just for the camera.. dual or single, is meaningless.

                            Only 1percent buy these phones but still this site gives so much coverage to S9 and S9+.

                              S9+ of course...more screen estate, more battery, more RAM and a bit more pricey hahaha but it's okay, it's worth it!

                                    Both the S9 and S9+ are to be commended for avoiding the notch.
                                    Well done to Samsung.

Don’t like it, don’t get. Get yourself a Moto E, I mean, it will handle it all, right?

                                        Oh yeah, 2X zoom, shockingly enough, is exactly twice as close. I know it’s hard, but think about, even if it takes you a while, Lol.
