Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

After three weeks of use, I did not feel any discomfort. Comfortable, convenient and very responsive interface. Does not slow down and does not lag at all in anything and nowhere. I do not play games, but I use the rest of the functionality to the fullest.

Now about charging. As I wrote at the beginning, there is support for wireless Qi with the fast charging function of the Fast Wireless standard. Branded (traditionally) expensive. So, if you buy a third-party wireless charger with the Fast Wireless function, be aware that although it is friends with the PSU included with the S9, you will not see fast charging from it. Campaign, the complete PSU only works with the branded one. I connected a cheap one from BURO with a 9V output, fast charging turns on without problems on 2 wireless Chinese ones; one cost 1300, the other ─ 1700.

In general, an excellent device!

 Do not try to put root on the device, this is a bad form.

Pros

1. Stylish practical and convenient device with a very thoughtful design. 2. Super AMOLED display with excellent brightness margin. Correct and convenient brightness adjustment, plus the ability to set a blue filter on a schedule. The display is beyond praise; the curved screen is great! 3. Complete set; adapter microUSB-Type-C and Type-C-USB, as well as a power supply with support for fast charging. The phone can be connected to a monitor and a keyboard with a mouse (however, using the station for 7000, or with Ali - an analogue for 3000); 4. Ability to install an additional memory card up to 400Gb; 5. Moisture-dust protection IP-68; 6. Interface speed; no lags, no delays and freezes; everything flies. There are a lot of chips at the interface for the convenience of work; 7. Slot for 2 SIM-cards (with reservation); 8. Stereo speakers; 9. NFC - with support for contactless payments ─ is friends with the Galaxy Watch; no need to link cards twice; you just activate them on the watch if you tied it to the phone; 10. The wireless charging function of the most common Qi standard is a handy thing! True, fast charging is not suitable for everyone. Branded Samsung stands like a cast-iron bridge. They could also include it in a kit with a smartphone (about charging ─ see the note); 11. Cameras. They are excellent! Optical zoom at the rear + mechanical aperture + optical stabilization + dual camera give great pictures even in low light conditions. The front camera with a wide angle takes excellent pictures; selfies will not disappoint you! Slow motion at 60 or 960 fps (with reservations). 12. The iris scanner works flawlessly and quickly; 13. Instant fingerprint scanner; is located where it is necessary ─ on the back cover! 15. The presence of a pulse sensor, stress + blood oxygen saturation (under the flash next to the camera) ─ someone may need it. 16. Well, 6 Gb of RAM is a decent amount. By the way, the fact that she is almost all busy ─ as it should be!

Cons

1. The frequency of recharging is boring! Alas, 3500 mA/h is not enough for such a device! We could do our best and make 4000 - 4500. We have to charge every day. I don’t talk on the phone often, but the Internet and Bluetooth are almost always on. The appetites of the device are great. The battery may be swinging, but so far so. 2. Compatible (alas!) Slot for 2 SIM-cards with microSD. It's a pity. For the flagship, they could have made separate ones; 3. Bixby is useless junk. You can’t hang anything on the button ─ after ating to Android 9 and the latest security patch, except for the horror that is screwed there. I had to stupidly put the Bixby service to sleep so that it would not react to anything. Of course, I understand that Samsung is not counting on 2022 users, but nevertheless, they could make its functionality custom! 4. I don’t understand why a 3.5 headset jack is needed; for music lovers, perhaps. I've been using Bluetooth headphones for 10 years now. An extra hole and an increase in cost due to the expensive AKGs that come with the kit; 5. Samsung for some reason likes to touch up and improve pictures, with the default white balance it does quite freely. But we'll fix it.
