Samsung Galaxy S9 review

09 March 2018
It's true what they say - you don't fix what's not broken. And that's what Samsung did for the Galaxy S9 - it didn't change what was already great, it just tweaked specs wherever possible. And it has worked out just fine for them.

      Did any of you own this phone? Why every time I put my hands on the bottom (around the location of the home "button") and move the phone it will turns on... any way to turn this feature off?

      Thanks guys

        You are going blind by all that Apple is full American Power. Stop hating and start thinking.

Verizon was out... moreThe fact that you could be so careless that you dropped the same phone twice in 3 weeks is pretty ludicrous if you ask me. Even though my phone doesn't have a curved screen, I'm always being careful about how I treat it - I make sure it sits in my hand in a safe position, and when I'm not using it, I put it in my pocket as quickly as I can. I think you really need to know how to handle your phone with care, I mean, dropping a $1000 phone 2 days after the purchase? Jeez...

            Hi. I hope you know that S9 has two different camera modules on Snapdragon (Sony modules) and Exynos (Samsung S5K2L3) versions. There is no one compare in internet. Can you please do this compare?

              I bought the Samsung 9s+ as did my husband. Verizon was out of screen savers so they told us to come back in a week. With one of their recommended cases, although not heavy duty, I dropped it day 2 from hip height and the screen cracked. I didn’t want a refurbished phone and we ended up deciding that when my son returns from his trip abroad in August, he can have it and we bought another. We put the glass screen saver on it. 3 weeks later I dropped it again for only the second time and the screen saver cracked. Luckily it did the job and saved the phone. We have insurance on everything so the screen saver is being replaced but the stress I felt having a phone crack twice when I have NEVER cracked a phone before was ridiculous. I went back and argued and exchanged it for the iPhone 8 Plus and I am thrilled! I really wanted to love the Samsung but it being all glass and cracking so easily is ludicrous.

                  I hate this Samsung S9 release.
                  The downgrade specs from S9+ makes me buy expensive phone but with downgrade specs.
                  However I can't use S9+ as it is too big for me.

                  :sad

                              @gsmarena team : the Galaxy S9/s9+ doesn't measure blood pressure levels! It would be technically impossible with a heart rate sensor...but I guess you need to know how blood pressure is measured to start with. It just tracks your blood pressure, if you' ll choose to input data day by day, just like it'll do with your blood glucose levels. Please be sure to check twice before you publish something like that. Thanks!

                                I have an older device and I'd pay for this S8 facelift max. 50 euros more than S8 costs right now, maybe if they'd make back of it from aluminium instead of glass it would be worth more.

                                  How is cheaper outright than the s8 considered quite pricey...? I sell these things, I see the pricing grids daily across all carriers.

                                        I have always been a fan of Samsung but I am glad I went with the U11+, the S9 its just an S8 with a new chip and iPhone like gimmicks. They should really fo their own thing and stop following Aplle when Samsung can be easily leading the way, but they decide to reduce their IQ to single digits to appeal to iPhone users.
