Review on πŸ’» Renewed Samsung Galaxy S9 in Titanium Gray, 64GB for AT&T by Makoto Ikeda ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

Despite the fact that I have no idea whether or not it will still be helpful in 2022, which is when there will probably be more worthy devices available, possibly at a lower price, it continues to exist. It was between $700 and $750 when I bought it in May of 2022, but the store was running a sale at the time, so I paid somewhere between $550 and $600 for it. I was debating between this phone and the iPhone XP, OnePlus 7Pro, Samsung S10E, and Google Pixel 3A, but in the end I decided to go with the C9 because of its reasonable price, attractive design, and extensive set of capabilities. I was able to do more with it than any of the other phones. When I think about how much money I spent on it, I can confidently say that the answer to the question of whether or not I regret making the purchase will not be yes. Although I will admit that I had higher expectations for the C9, when a phone is considered to be a flagship but at the same time it has such jambs, like any Chinese stub that sells for $100 to $150, then this is not normal for me personally. Yet despite the fact that I am aware that the same Exynos chip is to blame, I still have further problems regarding Samsung. For instance, why does Samsung sell items of a higher grade in Hong Kong and the United States, but products of a lower quality in other areas of the world? But okay. Would I advise you to go ahead and make the purchase? You should not pass up the option to purchase something on snap if you have it because doing so would be foolish. If this is not the case, then its value is not more than $500 at most. Because c9 is fundamentally wonderful, even at this moment, but not for the same price as it is in stores, I truly hope that everything that I've mentioned here won't be in vain and that at the very least it will be helpful to someone else. Even if it's all for nothing, at least I'll have made a difference for someone else. After using the phone for approximately half a year, I have come to the following conclusions: it is highly recommended to update to the most recent version of Android (so that perhaps you will fix certain friezes, etc., and the phone will become "fresh"); it turns out that the C9 has a good imitation of faceid called face unlock (yeah, this is likely exaggerated, but it will absolutely not be superfluous); however, the fingerprint scanner was a bit of a let Sometimes I even had to reconfigure it): the battery is just terrible here; either you will put up with it and be ready to charge it steadily once, or even two times a day, or you won't put up with it, in which case it's better to just walk by. If you won't put up with it, then it's better to just walk by. Sometimes I even had to rearrange the configuration. In general, this is still a substantial choice that is worthy of consideration; but, if the cost is more than $400–$450, I do not recommend adopting this option.

Pros
  • - This screen is one of the absolute best that are on the market right now. Taking pleasure in the material that it makes available is a source of happiness; - System shell: a wide variety of settings that can be made "for yourself" on the phone; as a consequence of this, it is safe to say that the same phone used by different people will have significantly different settings; - The operating system: the software that controls the phone's hardware and software; - The operating system: the software that controls the phone's hardware and software; - - Design: I understand the taste and color, but in my opinion, the phone is very attractive, not pretentious, and it is abundantly evident that it is the flagship; - A huge number of beneficial "features": the phone includes nfs, an excellent fingerprint scanner, a heart rate sensor, a retinal scanner (I did not use it myself because a fingerprint scanner is enough), and a number of additional functions that I probably still have not reached; a wide number of storage options. - The phone comes with a plethora of different storage options. Simply said, the fact that you are always visible is a characteristic that adds a great deal of convenience; Due to the fact that I do not make use of wireless technology, I believe that the 3.5 mm jack can still prove to be useful.
Cons
  • - Exynos: In my opinion, this is the potential drawback that is the most important. Because I was unable to acquire a smartphone through snap, I had no choice except to make due with what I already have. There are two distinct variants of the mobile device to choose from: exynos and snapdragon. In point of fact, the CPU may be pinpointed as the source of each and every defect. - A large number of microfreezes literally virtually from the first day of use; unstable work under active load (surfing in the browser, Facebook, YouTube, and all of this together); - A number of microfreezes - generates heat when being actively used; - A number of microfreezes - a number of microfreezes literally virtually from the first day of use; - A number of microfreezes literally virtually from the first day of - A network that is not stable (where my previous iPhone caught the network perfectly, the C9 exhibits 2-3 "sticks," and it has happened that the network has disappeared, albeit for a little period of time). Despite this, there is no discernible effect on either the functioning of the link itself or the quality of it; - a not-so-stable nfs (controversial minus because I'm not precisely sure whether the fault is in my bank application or in the phone itself, but the fact remains that - sometimes it works wonderfully, while other times it validates the purchase once or even twice); - an unreliable camera; - Camera: there was nothing amazing about it, but more was expected, particularly from the front camera; - Battery: despite the fact that I was aware that it did not excel in terms of autonomy, I did not anticipate that there would be times when everything would be so discouraging. Despite this, I did not anticipate that there would be times when everything would be so depressing. - The ability to hit the button with relative ease, ensuring that inadvertent presses and screenshots will occur; - Bixby: partially follows from the previous one, I will only add that the button is useless and it is impossible to reassign it without a program that works crookedly; - and other little things. - Bixby: partially follows from the previous one. The phone has adequate storage space for one day, plus a few extra megabytes, with typical use (social networking sites, YouTube, music apps, and other software); - Extremely simple button press stroke; inadvertent presses and screenshots are very easy to produce.
