Doesn't do enough to better last year's Galaxy S8

It's very expensive
The battery life is disappointing compared to the Samsung Galaxy S8
Abstract: So it's that time of the year for Samsung to show us what the next big thing is. And where in 2017 it was all about a new encompassing display, in 2018 it's about the camera. On the surface, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are an iterative update, if there's ever b...
Abstract: After posting our Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ written review earlier in the week, our video version is now ready for those who can't read like visuals. It's the overview of sorts, where we dive into some good, some bad, and share the (well, my) general takew...

The conclusion for the Galaxy S9 is always the toughest part to write as it's where we have to reconcile all the pros and cons of the device and making a verdict on its value as a product to customers.In terms of design, the S9 iterates on the S8 and I th...

I always look at phones as packages, a combination of different aspects varying in quality that will ultimately satisfy or dis-satisfy differing needs. In the case of the Galaxy S9 or S9+, I give it two thumbs up, with gorgeous hardware and software that...
The Galaxy S9 is a great update to the S8. They made sure to beef up the performance w/ the faster Snapdragon 845 chipset, same camera lens but w/ better low-light abilities, nice-tuned stereo speakers, and fixing the fingerprint scanner placement. The AR...
Abstract: It's finally here! The Galaxy S9 and S9+ is now available! Are you planning on making the upgrade? Verizon invited me to get a hands on look at the S9 and S9 plus before the public launch.Big thanks to the Verizon PR team for letting me record this vide...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus both have amazing cameras for smartphones. One that has set new scores for DXO Benchmarks and has proven to be excellent with low light photography. The question does arise, can you use a smartphone camera like that Galax...
Abstract: There aren't too many bad things you could say about last year's Galaxy S8. The design is phenomenal and the camera produces some of the nicest images ever seen from a smartphone. It represents Samsung at its best, and proves once and for all the company...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus are packed to the gills with features, not the least of which is a brand new camera setup, and a brand new camera trick too. Samsung is outfitting both phones with a main rear-facing camera sensor that can alterna...
Gorgeous, IP68 water and dust resistant build, Industry-leading display, Incredible Dolby Atmos speakers, 3.5mm audio jack, PMA and WPC wireless charging support, Edge panels are ultra useful, Ultra-fast performance, Samsung Pay is still the best mobile p
Only supports QuickCharge 2.0, Camera noise processing is still too heavy, Front-facing camera should be better, New camera interface is terrible, Battery life should be better, Having fewer features on the smaller Galaxy S9 camera is lame
Far from playing it safe, Samsung has further refined an already excellent design language, adding in new features and improving what needed improving. Brand-new Dolby Atmos-grade speakers are among the best new enhancements that will make daily use of th...
