HIGHS
- Excellent display
- Great 5.8-inch size
- Good speakers
- Strong performance
- Stunning low-light camera
LOWS
- Battery life is lower than competition
- Slow Android updates
- Camera not as versatile as S9 Plus
TheGalaxy S9 is a comfortable and compact phone that offers a fantastic camera andgreat performance. We do think the S9 Plus is worth it for the second,versatile camera, but the S9’s perfect size makes it hard to ignore.

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 light capabilities have resulted in sacrifices elsewhere. A top, top phone, but the S9 Plus outshines it.
FOR
- Swift biometric security
- Awesome low-light performance
- The most powerful Android phone out
AGAINST
- Design is identical to S8
- Some camera snaps lack vibrancy
- Expensive
