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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

I've only been using it for a week so far. Before that, I was with HTC 10 Lifestyle for 2 years (previously LG G2). And the main disappointment compared to previous handsets is the S9 battery. Even though they all have the same volume. HTC and LG managed to live for 2 days, and S9 dies by the end of one light. Yes, apparently the percent is eating, the screen . But I'm not used to charging phones so often. It's very stressful. Next is the ill-fated Bixby button, only the lazy did not kick it. And indeed, accidental clicks are not uncommon, the button is located in the wrong place! By itself, it still has an easy move. Reassigned with crutches to the camera. S9 for me is quite weighty and large. The case is easily soiled, the glass does not inspire confidence in terms of reliability, so I immediately put on a cover. And one more thing, rounding on the screen - it takes some getting used to. For example, you read some kind of article on the net, and your text bends to the edges . Well, that's it. I don’t understand emoji at all, more like a toy for children. I will not describe the functionality, screen quality, speed or camera once again. Everything here is top notch. I will only note the powerful sound from the stereo speakers, in HTC, sometimes the volume was just not enough for me. The interlocutor through the speaker you hear very clearly. Also an ultra-precise fingerprint scanner and excellent work of the iris scanner. Connector 3.5 in place, already good. Wireless charging function - although slower than wired, it is convenient, I use it all the time. There are many different buns, I have not studied them all yet. I chose S9 mainly only among Iphones, I wanted to try a new axis for myself. However, Iphone X is expensive, Iphone 8 looks already outdated. S8 without stereo speakers and the camera is less fast. Still waiting for HTC 12 - came out with a shovel, the design is about nothing. The S9 is definitely a good smartphone, and it's also catchy and unique. If only it weren't for the battery (there's still a heap of glass case, weight) and yet a curved screen . Yes, yes, what catches the most, it took me a habit to get used to.

Pros
  • Work speed. Functional. Camera. Screen (color reproduction, brightness - perfectly visible even in the sun). Loud, high-quality external speakers. The sound through the headphones is great! Always On Display etc. etc.!
Cons
  • Weak battery! Mark Corps. Unfortunate location of the Bixby key, besides, it is reassigned only by third-party applications (lagers). The rounded screen is still specific. It’s too big for me and in the branded Protective Standing Cover it weighs as much as 211 g.
