Review on πŸ“± Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S9 G960U 64GB Smartphone with 4G LTE & 12MP Camera - Midnight Black by MoonSe Hoon ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money, I recommend it.

In general, the model is good, and it does not have any really serious flaws in it; however, this is perhaps the model that has the lowest pass rate in the entire history of the Galaxy S series. Other than that, there are no other major issues with the model. If you already have a S8, you don't even need to consider upgrading to a S9 at this point (unless, of course, you are interested in such a disgrace as animoji or such a rather specific thing as very slow motion). If you have some earlier models, then the device is worth it, and other than the price, everything is fine in it. However, if you do not have any earlier models, then it is not worth it. Yet, five points to place his hand down does not rise. I haven't been anticipating a "wow" effect from flagships for a very long time, but in order to not do anything at all in a year like this, I'm going to have to. It is a pity.

Pros
  • It's not easy to do things here. It is dependent on the things being compared. There is a very juicy display, and a very fast and high-quality camera, and the overall performance is on top, and the 3.5mm jack has not gone anywhere, and even the bundled headset (if we consider it just as a complete headset, and not as a hi-fi stray for audiophiles) is simply amazing. If we compare it to almost any other smartphone on Android, then there are a lot of them, there is a very juicy display, and a very But I think everyone grasps this concept without a problem. I shall compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S8, which I had been using before I switched to this gadget a few days ago. To my mind, there are only two changes that are glaringly obvious: 1) The level of expertise of the presenters. Indeed, there are now two of them, and in addition to being louder and having a better sound, there is even a glimmer of depth and bass in the mix. In general, the phone isn't all that terrible of a product. 2) Overall performance. Interestingly, it performs far more quickly than the S8. When I upgraded from the Galaxy S7 Edge to the Galaxy S8, I did not observe such a rise. Chrome now has significantly fewer instances of slowdowns on pages with heavy content. I don't know much about cameras because I only take a few pictures, and I rarely use super slow-mo more than once, so the improvements don't seem particularly significant to me. When compared to the Galaxy S8, the camera on the Note 8 opens and takes pictures at an even faster rate. However, this can be attributed to an overall very noticeable improvement in performance.
Cons
  • 1) Price. It is not entirely clear why the price of the phone suddenly increased by 10% year over year, despite the fact that for the user, this phone is precisely the same phone as it was a year ago with some modest enhancements. It would appear that all of this is due to the negative impact that Apple has had, and the sole justification for the price hike is something along the lines of "What, are we worse or what?" This is hardly the most welcoming action on Samsung's part. 2) Autonomy. The night sky still does not contain a sufficient number of stars. When I took the phone out of the package, it had approximately a fifty percent charge. I settled in at 13% and worked on the tweaking for the next hour. Clearly, it was a difficult hour due to the fact that information was being sent via Wi-Fi and programs were being downloaded from the market via LTE; however, this could not account for forty percent of the same percentage in sixty minutes. It consumes approximately 15% of the charge for an hour's worth of browsing news websites and other Instagrams on a Saturday morning. 3) The place where the fingerprint scanner is located. It is beyond my comprehension why Samsung makes a mockery of its devoted clientele; nonetheless, the fact that the location of the scanner was changed yet again after I had just recently been accustomed to the previous one is really upsetting. Even said, it is important to point out that working conditions have significantly improved. D (03/24/2022): After using the device for two weeks, I can tell that the battery began to behave better (screenshot attached), maybe because it was calibrated or something else, but there is no longer the impression that it is depleting very quickly. My use case does not require overload; I have sufficient supplies to last for around 24 hours and a half. Over the duration of the day, there was not a single complete discharge. You won't have it any worse than others who came before you. The phone heats up but does not charge (in my case, above 80%), which is a problem that arose with the 16.03 update. This is especially ironic considering that they were given away as a free gift for pre-ordering the phone. True, another issue arose, and it was with wireless charging. We are now awaiting an ate to arrive.
