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.

                  Im using s9plus for around 5 month bow , i brought the s9 at first , and i really impressed me by its performance, so i upgrade to s9+ with impressed even more!! Im more than happy with this phone ( gaming performance, camera , display , design) all thouse things its unbeatable, even at at 2020 the display is super sharp , sharper then most smart phones on market , camera is really good to , and i would recommend to get phone even in 2020-2021 and dont listen peoples who cry about scratching on the screen , its their problem that cant look after , and overall phone is brilliant, fast sharp , there is more + about phone then -

                        Samsung galaxy s9+'s battery life is the worst. I have an s9+ and the battery life is nothing like they claim. Screen on time is 2hour after a year.
                        Last time I'm trusting gsmarena.

                          Hello to all.
                          I want to share my expiriance.
                          So , i one note 9 , allways owed notes...
                          Notes are gretatest.
                          Then I bought s9+ as a secondary phone.
                          Still i favor note more but and came to idea to sold my s9+ for note8.
                          Note 8 , disapointment big time.
                          Screen on time , no more than 3 and half hours.
                          So i returned on s9+ and all I can say is that phone is great.

                            I was a samsung fan until the s9. Bought in Indonesia and had problems after 9 months. Phone would not turn on. Unfortunately I was out of the country die to injury and not able to take back until 14 months of which the phone was not warranted. The phone was not covered under the country I was in either. Poor customer service for what is meant to be top end product.

                                Avoid this phone by all means. Bought in november, since may and june updates battery drain has been reported to be massive, probably planned obsolescence as you cant go past 4 or 5 hours instead of the usual 7 at the time. Openes 5 tickets with samsung to no avail except usual suggestions like factory reset or temporary mode to check for issues. Mind you, i only use fb lite and instagram and this is the result regardless of my usage. Like buying a ferrari with a 10l tank to run around. Wont get another samsung if they dont fix it, and they dont seem to be planning so.

                                        It is very bad phone i bought it few month ago and now find scrached in display without any reason.i don't know what to do. Customer care sevice told me you have one year screen replacement warrant. But why my new phone be scrached automatically. My friend also face the same thing.Samsung make us fool. Wast of money.
