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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the purchase suits, a very necessary product.

I chose the phone for a long time. S9 and Huawei P20Pro reached the final. I note that I did not test, but chose only according to descriptions, reviews and reviews. At the same time, the iPhone was not initially considered (yes, this is personal). As a result, I settled on S9 (although I still haven’t decided which is better for me: it or S9 +). The Samsung was more to my liking because of the design (I like that curved screen without that stupid newfangled "eyebrow"). Plus, Koreans, unlike the Chinese, do not seek to copy the iPhone, for which they are a fat plus. According to almost all descriptions, the Huawei P20Pro has a better camera (but that’s all), but, in fact, the camera on the S9 exceeded my expectations: it shoots perfectly both day and night, gorgeous autofocus and stabilizer (there were no blurry shots at all yet). Perhaps in the second camera, which is on the S + and there is no need. In general, this is a top model in all respects. Even if Samsung hasn't moved much further than the S8, I don't care, since I haven't used Samsung at all before. And plus S9 is also likely that they corrected the shortcomings of the previous model. Here, some complain about the quality of the connection, that the connection generally disappears sometimes. I didn't have that. Perhaps the fact is that you should not take the phone at the start of sales. The quality is excellent. This phone has exceeded my expectations. It's just a pleasure to use it.

Pros
  • - Excellent design (subjectively, but I express my preferences); - Excellent camera (software processing is super, and the number of megapixels has not played a role for a long time); - Performance (everything works very fast); - Cellular, Internet and Wi-Fi work better than on my previous phone (Nokia Lumia 930), good connection even in hard-to-reach places; - Water protection (I like to drown phones in the bathroom; however, this one has not yet had time, but if there is no protection at all, then splashes are dangerous); - Screen (top of the top); - Multifunctionality (and the presence of various useful options, for example, the Edge panel, which is removed from the screen, and in which you can hide the icons of the main applications); - It is convenient to use (including with one hand + in the case the phone is well held in the hand, does not slip); - Build quality; - Classic headphone jack (still relevant for me); - The presence of a cover in the box.
Cons
  • - Bixby button (however, smart people suggested that you can change its purpose to almost any other using the bxActons application, which I already did); - The location of the volume button on the left side (but this is subjective - just on the right is more familiar); - High price (but this is also subjective; in fact, it's worth it); - The need to choose for a long time between the usual S and S +, and now it's not only about the screen size, but also about the functions (I thought for a long time, but did not find an answer which is better); - Battery. But thanks to fast charging, this is not so important. Plus, with normal use, it lasts for a day.
