Doesn't do enough to better last year's Galaxy S8
Improved camera still can't quite beat the best

Samsung has always produced awesome flagship Android phones from a pure hardware point of view. Just look at last year's Galaxy S8, which not only blew all other Android phones released at the time out of the water but, in many cases, is only now been cau...

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is all about the camera and, though it looks good, I don't think it's going to be quite enough to justify the £50 price hike this year. £739 is a lot to pay for a phone that's only slightly different to last year's offering.Given tha...

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is not so different from the S8, apart from its upgraded camera functions. However, that doesn't mean it's a failed device. Quite the opposite in fact. We loved the S8, so it's nice to see that Samsung hasn't changed the things that...

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 considerably cheaper. It may make the S9 slightly harder to justify, but it's still set to be an excellent...

The Galaxy S9 is the technological equivalent of a football team winning the Premier League at a canter, and still spending £100 million pounds on a new striker in the next transfer window. Fundamentally, it's the same phone as before we're talking about...

Without flexing too many major muscles, Samsung has rustled up a pretty polished successor to the Galaxy S8, with a handful of carefully considered tweaks, all built into one of the best designed smartphones you can buy.And when you consider the new camer...
We're going to have to wait for big jumps in technology, but although the Galaxy S9 only brings a disappointingly small bunch of minor improvements it's still an amazing smartphone that will be hard to beat in 2018. Samsung has expertly combined design, h...
