Doesn't do enough to better last year's Galaxy S8
Improved camera still can't quite beat the best
Hard to tell the S9 apart from the S8
Fingerprint sensor still a bit close to the camera
Audio still lacks the last word in timing
Similar specs to the Galaxy S8
No improvement in battery life
Bixby is still not very useful
Intelligent scan has high failure rate
Battery life is lower than competition
Slow Android updates
Camera not as versatile as S9 Plus
You'll need to fork out £130 more to get a depth of field function on the camera that blurs the background and keeps the subject in focus
It's very expensive
The battery life is disappointing compared to the Samsung Galaxy S8

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone, but one that hasn't really kicked on from the Galaxy S8, bringing a very similar design and screen to 2017's version. The improved biometrics were sorely needed, and the camera is a leap forward, but the amazing low...

While it's not perfect, the Galaxy S9 is a fantastic device. It's got a brilliant display, great camera, brilliant performance all-round, and in a body that's easily one of the most elegant ever released. Its stereo sound makes such a difference to media...

The Galaxy S9 is a nice incremental upgrade, but its low-light camera isn't a game changer and some new features fall far behind the iPhone X. S8 owners can skip, but it's a good upgrade from older Androids...

These are both stunning-looking and extremely high-specced flagship smartphones. Both get large 5.8in displays in almost all-screen bodies, although the S9's is considerably sharper (whether you'll be able to notice the difference is debatable; the X's 45...

Samsung Galaxy S9 – Battery Life Battery life on the Samsung Galaxy S9 is almost exactly the same as last year's S8. Even with the switch to a more efficient mobile chip, it's a shame Samsung hasn't really been able to squeeze any more juice from the 3000...

Good looking and simple to use, the Samsung Galaxy S9 performs really well. However, it really doesn't offer enough 'wow factor' when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S8. It's not a must-have but would be a good upgrade from a phone that you've had for two...

Not all that different to S8, AR Emoji a little limited
The Samsung Galaxy S9's party piece is a seriously impressive camera, but there's much more than a passing resemblance to the Galaxy S8 which is now cheaper. It may make the S9 slightly harder to justify, but it's still set to be an excellent smartphone...

These two phones share a sense of mild anticlimax: they are both fairly minor upgrades on their predecessors. But the S9 still feels like it's ahead in a lot of departments.It has a far larger and near bezel-free screen, better camera features, slightly b...
