Samsung Galaxy S9+ long-term review

25 June 2018
To find out how easy or frustrating it is to live with the Galaxy S9+, we used it as our one and only smartphone for an extended period of time and we are ready with the verdict. Once we go past the superficial aspects (such as looks), there are a lot of new things crammed into this glass and metal package, which are worth talking about. So join us over the next pages as we take a look at what makes Samsung's latest flagship tick, where it delivers more than we expected, and where it falls short.

Once you get the phone on, go into Settings to enable additional wake activities to give yourself more options.

                    Mobile is giving the issue of pixelated in this series and also I have found green screen issue while My mobile has no any damage or anything and so many users having same issue and samsung doing nothing in response. At the end you will have to sell mobile at low price.

                          Yeah it s a good phone but the thing is that it s already 2 years old and won t get android 11(oneui3) and it still handles games like cod or fortnite quite good.Second hand at 300 bucks i can t recomand you to buy because you can buy some good New phones at 300 dollars. Yeah, The hdr is better than on galaxy a70 but that s the only advantage it gives in 2020. Plus,it s battery it s s all compare to xiaomi redmi note 9 pro(5020 mau) and it gets fast charging on only 15 e while other phones at this buget have 30 or 40 w

                            Best in class display even in today's midrange mobiles, best for media purpose and par in camera performance to today's midrange android mobiles. If you need to play FPS based games then this is not the mobile for you in longterm usage

                                  A.P Dash, 24 May 2020Is it value for money to purchase Galaxy S9 Plus in 2020 ??Yes it sure is. The display is still one of the best ones on the market, performance is also amazing. It runs 3D games very well, you will hardly see any lag or issues. Cameras are decent but not the best. Software is up to date. The only thing bad on it is the battery life especially if u buy the samsung s9 (the phone i'm currently using) so i advise you to go for the plus model
