I mean
This should be obvious - the Galaxy S9 looks kind of fragile. There's a lot of glass on this phone. Use a case
Even with Project Treble
Samsung still avoids committing to a period of Android OS updates
Let alone timely ones
For its flagship ha
The fragile glass body collects fingerprints like crazy and probably won't survive a drop
Bixby is still awful
And while you can partially disable the button
It stinks that Samsung won't let you remap it
Samsung's Android loadout provides no benefits
Pricey
Camera Modes Twitchy With Accidental Actuation
Black Units Are Smudge Magnets
The intelligent scan isn't fast enough
AR Emojis are barely useful
Average battery life

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
Modest battery life
Finish is a fingerprint magnet
Not cheap

Battery life fell short of last year's model in our early tests
And the Galaxy S9 Plus suffers from the same underbaked extras as the smaller Galaxy S9. The dual-aperture camera tends to overexpose low-light photos in auto mode

Intelligent Scan a step behind Face I
Bixby Vision AR features feel half-baked
Gimmicks galore
Bixby still sucks
Samsung has a poor history of updating its phones
Facial recognition is not there yet
AR Emoji needs more development
Needs a more powerful graphics processor
Battery life doesn't impress
Large
Slippery and fragile
Camera needs update for low light
AR Emoji needs work
Version of Android Oreo already outdated
Inteligent Scan needs update
Flagship pricing
Some may not like the $900+ price
Bixby isn't for everyone and you can't use it for Google
Glass slabs are fingerprint magnets
Bezel-free phones can sometimes register slight unintended touches on the sides
Back is a fingerprint magnet
Intelligent Scan is not as effective or quick as Apple's FaceID
Probably not enough of a leap forward for S8 owners to upgrade
THE LAST WORD The best Android out there
Bar none. The S9+ and regular S9 are both great to use and set a high new bar for Samsung
Iterative hardware and features
Fingerprint magnet
Expensive
Disappointing performance and battery life from the Exynos model. Glass construction remains fragile. Galaxy S8 owners have no reason to upgrade
Portrait and low light photography
Photography of fast-moving subjects like children
Not a major improvement over last generation
No dual-VoLTE
Worse battery runtimes than predecessor
Long charging time
SoC throttling under constant load
No warranty for damage caused by liquids
Occasional visible stepping during exposure convergence
At the time of writing, the Galaxy S20+ 5G is priced on Samsung's website at $999, (128 GB internal storage). Meanwhile, the Galaxy S10+ goes for $849 (128 GB internal storage), and finally, the S9 is now $399 (128/256 GB internal storage). On retailers s...

Great performance, Excellent cameras, Stunning display
Iterative hardware and features, Fingerprint magnet, Expensive
The Galaxy S9+ might be the second-most (after the standard S9) iterative flagship Samsung's ever made, and yet it might be the most well-rounded flagship you can buy right now. At £870 it's not cheap by any stretch, but it goes the extra mile in multiple...

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus (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, t...
