The Samsung Galaxy S9 (Price Check) looks almost identical to its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S8. While some see it as a “lack of innovation“, others point out that “if it ain't broke, don't fix it!”Whatever we may think of its familiar design, there...
Excellent display, superb rear dual aperture camera, waterproofing, great stereo speakers, novel AR Emoji,
A bit slippery to hold, not cheap
The Galaxy S9 doesn't upgrade the size of its battery over its sire and it is still similarly sized at 3,000mAh though the provision of the new Exynos 9810 processor along with a host of optimisation tricks that they've implemented have helped to ensure e...

So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9?If you already own last year's S8, we'd say take a pass. This blower doesn't offer any essential new features compared with the previous flagship, and it sure ain't cheap either. However, if you're tempted by a...

Abstract: Samsung is the first big-name global smartphone maker to launch new flagship phones in 2018, and early responses have been somewhat mixed. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ certainly managed to impress members of the media who were able to take an early look a...

The prevailing question for potential Galaxy S9 buyers is “has Samsung done enough to warrant an upgrade over the Galaxy S8?” The answer to that depends on where your priorities lie.So much of the Galaxy S8 look and feel has been carried over to this new...

The Galaxy S9 is an evolution rather than a revolution, but Samsung has upgraded it in all the right places...
I had hoped that, after exhaustively going over all the ways the S9 is new, I'd find the updates here to be more significant. But I still don't. The new camera features aren't must-haves unless you plan on shooting in darkness a lot, and you can get basic...

The nice thing about the Galaxy S9 and S9+ is that they hold very few mysteries. Go back to our review of the S8 twins last year, and the majority of what you'll read there applies here. The Galaxy S8 and S8+ were great phones, and the S9 and S9+ are bett...
