Not all that different to S8
AR Emoji a little limited

Overly familiar
Disappointing battery

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
Most compact for the screen size in their class, Good US pricing, Topshelf cameras, Very good sunlight visibility, Fast charging out of the box, Unique Face ID biometry and Animoji avatar features, Very good value retention, Bright, coloraccurate display,
Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9+ against Apple's iPhone X: that's a classic rivalry among the best in the field – like Lakers vs Celtics, Mercedes vs BMW, CIA vs KGB (oops, not that one) – and there is no need to tell you anything else to pique your interest.D...
Much more convenient fingerprint scanner position, Improved camera, Smoother performance (but still not perfectly smooth), More affordable, Display, camera, design almost as good as S9's
Samsung's Galaxy series has become synonymous with high-end Android phones, and the newest Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are the best ones so far.But when you have a successful product, you tread carefully, evolving and refining it rather than making any huge...

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...

Smart camera tech, Premium everyday experience, Superb performance
Limited evolution, Pricey
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...

Galaxy S8's excellent design gets even better, Screen, performance & battery all solid, Camera capable of impressive low-light performance, Price is competitive
Intelligent Scan trades security for convenience, Super Slow-mo is 720p only and needs bright lighting, Bixby still feels gimmicky
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 Infinity Display is even better than the one on the S8, Camera takes fantastic pics in all kinds of light, Fingerprint sensor is in a much better location
Camera features like Dual Aperture and Super Slow-mo are a little gimmicky, AR Emoji is fun but not as advanced as Apple's Animoji, The single camera is great, but the S9+'s dual camera would have been better
The Galaxy S9 is an evolution rather than a revolution, but Samsung has upgraded it in all the right places...
