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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

In general, the first six months I was extremely pleased with the purchase, but after some time I become more and more disappointed in it. I chose Samsung, because I thought that it would be no worse, and maybe better than Apple phones, but in the end I ran into the same problems that I had with them. I would understand if the phone was 5-6 years old and it has already "outlived its usefulness", but when such problems occur with a phone that is only a couple of years old, it makes me think about whether it is worth overpaying for quality that is nothing does not differ from other flagships, including cheaper ones?

Pros
  • 1. Design, there is nothing to talk about, it is concise and pleasant. The phone is comfortable to hold 2. The amount of memory - and built-in is enough, but the ability to insert additional. the card is what I always missed while I was using Apple products 3. The camera is really good, with a deeper study of the available settings, you can get quite juicy shots
Cons
  • 1. The screen is a quiet horror. I don't know if I'm so unlucky with them, or if the screen quality really leaves much to be desired. Before that, I encountered the same problem on another phone - some time after the purchase (not immediately, maybe six months later), the screen began to "see through". It's hard to describe, but if, for example, you open youtube, then when you watch a video, you see on the screen the keyboard that was displayed on the tab with Vkontakte when you wrote a message, before going to Youtube. The point is that one application seems to "shine through" through another, while if you open just a white screen, you can see that it went in stripes and in places they are either lighter or darker. It is this shortcoming for me that covers literally all the listed advantages. At the same time, the screen is whole and unharmed, in no way damaged. 2. The price - in my opinion, is too high and is mostly built on the name of the company, but, in my opinion, it is absolutely not worth your money, especially with such a problematic screen. Especially taking into account the fact that its service life is three years at the most, and for such a price you can buy smartphones from another company every year and they will be no worse in quality, or maybe even better. 3. After a year of use, performance began to sag noticeably, it could freeze and throw out of applications many times, just slow down. 4. The last few months I have encountered a problem with the charging socket - the wire in it has stopped holding. I thought it was the wire, I bought a new one - the same situation. I thought the nest was clogged - I cleaned it, but it still does not work. As a result, I had to abandon wired charging altogether and buy wireless charging and batteries. But here's the trouble again - wireless charging works intermittently, if you hold the phone with the battery in your hand, then it can periodically turn off and on randomly, although I try to fix them as much as possible in one position.

Different pros: The device is beautiful, the screen is also good, the build quality is normal. Its cons: The exynos processor is complete crap, its name is almost never indicated even in the description and characteristics, but they simply write so many cores, etc.
