It's the best purchase I ever made, I will definitely do it again.

I bought the device at the beginning of September 2022. Despite the fact that I am completely satisfied with the device, I think that spending 67 thousand on a smartphone is a dubious investment. But I managed to purchase this device, dear to my heart, much cheaper thanks to the Trade-In program (I gave away an old Iphone 4S for 3 + 10 repaid early. As a result, the PCT device with a 2022 guarantee cost me about 48-49 which at the time of purchase was comparable to the prices for “gray” smartphones. After the acquisition, I finally realized that I was not at all wrong with the choice. Now, continuing to monitor the market of new smartphones, I can say with confidence that this smartphone has not lost its flagship relevance. Despite the fact that some competing devices can overtake it in synthetic tests, more confidently cope with sophisticated games, have a more nimble shell, the Samsung Galaxy S9+ is uncompromising as a whole as a smart mobile device, which cannot be said about competitors.

 The review is not custom, in the comments I ask you not to stutter about it.

Pros

-Excellent faucet with an equally excellent oleophobic coating, -wonderful stereo sound from the built-in speakers (I got the feeling that the sound from this device flows with better quality than from the vaunted stereo speakers of the new Huawei MediaPad M5 tablet), -sufficient autonomy - the battery charge is enough even for a very active day of use, -I’m (so far) wary of wireless headphones, because I use the standard minijack and the bundled worthy AKG headphones with pleasure every day (the ergonomics of the bundled headphones for my ears is ideal. As a comparison, I’ll say that the experience of using Apple’s branded headphones turned out to be negative - they don’t hold in the ears - fall out.). - The device takes very high quality photos and videos. I shoot video in 4K 60fps and I'm thrilled by the quality of the picture. I wonder why many other flagships do not have the ability to shoot 4K 60fps in principle, and those that can shoot not so well (But this does not apply to iPhones - their video is decent). - A liquid device, which can then be easily exchanged under the Trade-In program, if your heart desires a new experience with a new flagship. -Good wifi receiver. Where my previous phones have already lost Wi-Fi network, this Samsung confidently sees the network and can work. -Smart fingerprint scanner. Previously, I was skeptical about this type of smartphone lock, because the experience on other devices (Iphone 6) was negative. -Finally, you can not be afraid to go to the bathroom with your phone or get your phone outdoors when it's outright raining - thanks to IP68 water and dust protection. -how cool to see the current time on the phone screen without turning on the device itself. My very first cell phone (2022 - Motorola C200), having a one-color screen on board, could show the current time 24 hours a day. Everything new is well forgotten old.

Cons

-Slippery device, the beauty of which is better to immediately hide in a cover, which I did by buying a branded Silicone Cover. True, this case turned out to be so non-slip that I have constant difficulties when trying to put my smartphone in the inside pocket of a jacket or jacket. -if, in addition to the rear fingerprint scanner, there was also a built-in screen - it would be a song! There are situations when you need to unlock your smartphone without lifting it from the table, and entering a pin code is a dubious pleasure. -reception of mobile Internet in 4G is not so confident in difficult conditions, compared to the budget Huawei, which I used before. No wonder Huawei devices are praised for the quality of cellular communications. - Not fast enough face unlock. In addition, this type of unlocking has certain narrow limits for correct operation (light level, distance of the phone from the face). As a result, I rarely manage to use this function. In 9 cases out of 10, fingerprint unlock is used.
