Revainrating 5 out of 5

The price/quality ratio is great, I will buy again.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus SM-G9650/DS. 6/128. Version on snapdragon 845. Tried the version with exynos - strictly not. Lags in the interface and also lower resolution in games. And lowering the maximum frequency in multitasking. Complete headphones did not use. I use only full-sized, closed Sony MDR-1RNC with an impedance of 52 Ohm and it pulls them out with a margin. I chose between LG G7 and HTC U 11 Plus. Chose Samsung because. like top iron and stereo sound. We had to look for…

Pros
  • 1) Smooth operation. In the interface, lags were noticed only when swiping towards bixby and when scrolling through the list of applications in the settings. 2) Complete set. Most of all, I was pleased with the presence of a silicone case and a type-c to usb adapter. The mouse, keyboard, flash drive are connected without any problems and work perfectly. 3) Performance. This is in itself a top performance. So no problems were noticed. Of course, games may not work as smoothly as on iPhones, but in many games you can set 60 fps. Of course, in a game like Shadowgun Legends and many others like it, there will be no 60 frames. Works somewhere at 45-55 frames. 4) Battery capacity. Before this phablet, I used a nexus 5 (2300 mAh) from 2022 to 2022 and a few months of iphone 7 (1960 mAh). So for me, this is a real autonomous giant. If the new iPhone 7 had to be charged 3 times a day, then the Samsung with two SIM cards, native resolution and LTE is more or less enough for a day. 5) Function "Network Accelerator" (Screen attached). Network Accelerator increases the download speed of content larger than 30 megabytes. It can use wi-fi and mobile network at the same time. LTE from a megaphone gives out under 60 megabits per second, and with this function, near the router, it was possible to achieve 113 megabits per second. Perhaps this has already happened in other devices, but I saw this for the first time and was very surprised. 6) The amount of RAM and permanent memory. If you are a power user or just a nerd in common people, then you should not take less than 6/128 of memory. Applications only get heavier over time, so 6 gigs of RAM is a kind of reserve for the future. 7) Dual sim. It's really convenient. I use tele 2 and a megaphone. And where not to catch the body 2, as a rule, it catches a megaphone and vice versa. So the connection is even more stable.
Cons
  • 1) Heating. When playing games, the phone, unfortunately, not only heats up, but also throttles. In order to heat up the device, it is not enough to run the antutu test once or twice. It starts to heat up quite strongly in heavy games. (Screen with temperature attached). Such a game as shadowgun deadzone critically the device does not heat up. 2) Sound. The sound from the speakers is unfortunately worse than that of the iphone 7. From the speaker, the sound is better than the latest iPhones, so far only the LG G7. The Samsung sound is worse precisely in terms of volume and purity. If you bring the speaker to your ear while listening to music. From Samsung direct hearing cuts from high frequencies. iPhones do not have this, there is a pleasant shake of the body and volume in sound. In headphones, on the contrary, Samsung is very good. 3) Bixby button. When I looked at the reviews on this device, I thought that I would not click on it, but there are no accidental clicks that still happen. So I had to turn it off. 4) Scanner. It was quite difficult to get used to the location of the scanner on the back side. 5) Slow motion mode. This is the worst implementation of slow motion. You are given literally a second to capture the moment you need. I have never been able to do a normal slow motion. Those. the moment that needs to be captured must first begin, and then only you need to turn on slow motion. You will not be able to turn it on somehow in advance. And all this happens in very low quality.

I am very happy with this purchase, I will advise everyone!

Regarding s8 +: the display is blacker, the frames in the off mode are not visible. Faster. Finished the software. The camera has become better, and both. Stereo speakers are OK. More square, the frame at the bottom is smaller, wider, heavier. Battery +/- the same, one and a half days

Pros
  • This is the best flagship for an adult who appreciates functionality, stability and features. Design and premium
Cons
  • It still scratches too easily. The headphone amplifier does not work well, there are few divisions. 90 - quiet, then 100 and already too loud

I am amazed at how well the product is made, just magically!

I bought the device in trade-in instead of galaxy s7. It turned out 48,000 - I consider it a justified price for such an apparatus. And compared to s7, this is a different level. The screen is even more contrast, the sound simply cannot be compared. From the point of view of multimedia capabilities, this device has no equal! Watching movies and videos is a pleasure! The camera shoots great in the dark, during the day, of course, it shoots perfectly, but the camera application interface itself…

Pros
  • Camera stereo speakers Screen Design The presence of a 3.5 mm jack (I don’t know how for anyone, but for me it’s important) Moisture protection Work speed Case dimensions with such (6.2) screen diagonal Delivery set (compared to the latest iphone, there is a very rich set here)
Cons
  • Not the best opening hours The inability to disable bixby without additional programs (as far as I know)

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Lame product and terrible quality.

People who write that the camera is fire and performance is on top, have you used some kind of micromax or dexp all your life before? This miserable exinos that eats the battery like crazy, and even wildly lags, the camera is like a bar of soap, my soapbox for 4k takes better at times, what quality did you see here? Samsung ended on s7 edge and on laptop 5, everything else is an attempt to repeat the success and marketing of course.

Pros
  • Amoled screen (and even that is doubtful), stereo, moisture protection
Cons
  • Everything else, except for the above advantages, the screen is still not there and not here.

A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

Switched to it from Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. At first I was almost disappointed, the same thin, fragile, constantly afraid to crush or break. I bought a branded Clear View case and immediately everything became normal. Now the smartphone is quite thick, weighty, in short, what you need. If the battery were also removable, then there would be no price for it, and replacing the battery in a smartphone with water protection, as it turned out, is a myth.

Pros
  • While I haven’t found a better smartphone, the next model didn’t like the look.
Cons
  • The battery is not enough for 3 days. This is despite the fact that the energy saving mode is on and I hardly use the Internet, and if you use all the functions, then even for half a day it will not be enough. No Bixby in 2022.

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

The very case when manufacturers make something very cool - and then, having come to their senses, they quickly, quickly discontinue production so that people buy something less durable, and not a thing that can be worn for years. First of all, I chose it because of the price-to-camera ratio. Later I looked at everything else, but this was also important. I do not like "shovels", so C9 + for me was a compromise in size and functionality - it is, in general, normal in size. I buy smartphones in…

Pros
  • Everything. Great smartphone. It's easier to write what you don't like. More details in the comments.
Cons
  • VERY easily soiled, VERY easy to "injure" the camera, scratch the glass. VERY bright screen.

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

I liked everything, especially after the iPhone X, but after a month of use, problems started. the version was Certify on the Exynos processor. Acquired in June 2022 and parted ways with him in August of the same year. The device was good in everything, but performance problems, in my opinion, are unforgivable, especially for a flagship. At the end of 2022 - beginning of 2022, the device is still relevant, but if you decide to purchase, be sure to look for a Snapdragon version, otherwise you…

Pros
  • Design, body materials, stunning screen, system performance (at first), autonomy, camera, variety of accessories.
Cons
  • Exynos processor - and that says it all. Lags, friezes and other glitches begin after a month of active use. This, more than significant, drawback - completely spoils all the impressions of a truly interesting and beautiful device, alas.

In general, a good device. Fell once from 1.5 meters in a cover on linoleum, no problems, everything is intact. You can normally use it in the "medium" battery mode. Otherwise, it will surprise you with a quick discharge. Reception wi-fi is enough for 1 ladder. flight to floor. 4g - in my place 1 division. The connection is not broken. Ah, yes, percent exynos. Shooting video with good stabilization. You can switch to the second camera only before shooting starts. In the role of multimedia…

Pros
  • Good screen. Quite fast. Camera in the dark. The sound is almost stereo. Appearance. Shell. Good equipment. Waterproofing is needed. 2 sims, so the memory is 128 in reserve. There is a headphone jack, it will come in handy.
Cons
  • On bright objects in the dark, the camera overexposes. Without a cover slippery, unpleasantly cold hand. Large for my hand in a case. Complete earphones - only for conversations. The sound of the speakers when listening to music is louder on the one hand and other frequencies . in films it's normal. In dual sim usage, you cannot assign specific contacts to a specific sim card. Only or specific for all, or always a choice when called.

The perfect product for any user!

The phone is really good and balanced - camera, screen, performance, various small features that all together make interacting through the phone a real pleasure. I hope that the gluttony of Android 10 will be fixed with patches and everything will return to normal. If now, in 2022, you are thinking whether to buy or not to buy, buy. The S10 is not particularly powerful, but it does not have a multi-colored LED indicator light, and the S20 is currently wildly overpriced due to the novelty, and…

Pros
  • For me personally, the point of buying a flagship (a well-known brand like Apple or Samsung) is always about ease of use. That is, if you have in your hands, for example, last year's flagship, then you know for sure that you have excellent signal reception and transmission, a decent microphone, good speakers, plus or minus a top-end mobile camera, and all possible chips from social networks work for you - Insta , FB, etc. That is, everything that is possible is crammed in and there is no need to worry about some missing / blocked functionality - everything is included to the maximum. You just use everything. And you can not think about ating for two or three years, and then you buy last year's flagship again, already without wild extra charges for novelty, and again you use it perfectly. I have a phone on Exinos, in general, it works fine.
Cons
  • BATTERY. ated to Android 10 and the phone began to simply EAT the battery. Sometimes it even seems to me that I hear a loud champ with which he devours amps and volts. For example, today before going to bed I charged it up to 100 percent, when I got up in the morning, the battery showed 83%. There was nothing left in the memory, the distance to the Wi-Fi router was about three meters, without any obstacles, in general, what the percentage of charging went to is not at all clear.

After two years of using the phone, the impressions are positive. The first thing that surprises the phone is the screen. I was moving from an older galaxy model and felt the same "wow" effect. It also took place when I heard the speaker. If you place your smartphone horizontally and turn on Dolby Atmos, the sound is amazing. However, you quickly get used to the screen, and I almost never use the speaker. The sound is quite good in headphones. For two years, nothing has failed. Dropped once…

Pros
  • Certainly the screen Convenient UI Good main camera Headphone jack
Cons
  • Front-camera Cracking the interface over time (only possible on exynos processors)

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

The phone itself is very good - design, quality of materials, camera, screen, speakers, performance - everything is on the level. The only fat BUT is the battery. She is incomprehensible. At the beginning of use, I had a hard charge with the screen turned off, despite the fact that in the use mode everything was fine. Then, after about 5 months, the battery capacity (87 percent or 3050 mAh + -) seriously sat down on the phone, and this was with careful charging, keeping the charge in the region

Pros
  • - Screen - Camera - Spectacular screen format - Speakers - Complete headphones - Design (especially in gray color) is simply delicious - Nimble work
Cons
  • - Battery

Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

It's silly to attribute dimensions, slippery glass to minuses (have you seen non-slippery somewhere? Except for rough / matte surfaces), soiled body and so on - put the device behind a display case and admire it like a museum piece. Yes, there is something to hesitate - either the button is loose, or the owner has become insolent to the end, but the fact that this device has everything that a sick head wishes in 2022 covers small jambs. With this device, you become the first guy in the area…

Pros
  • 1. Screen. It is obvious. Big, beautiful, normally conveys colors; 2. Shell. Samsung has stuffed everything it can think of in terms of settings and customization. Plus, it works fast (at least for now); 3. Cameras. Everything is clear, except for a small bug - a live focus (such as a portrait) sometimes does not smear what should be smeared as a background, but it is not critical at all; 4. Sound. Not a music lover, but I can distinguish frank game from a more or less normal sound. That the complete headphones, that the speakers sound good; 5. Materials. Glass is also glass in Africa. Yes, slippery, but beautiful)) 0; 6. No one needs, but unusual chips. After the purchase, I became for a healthy lifestyle, I measure the pulse and the level of stress throughout the entrance - the grandmothers on the benches are delighted; 7. Either I got stuck, or the scratch on the screen healed itself. In any case, when I first saw it, my heart skipped a beat, but now it’s either used to it, or it has become smaller. Let it be a plus - it's unusual.
Cons
  • 1. Assembly. What a twist. I can’t say for all phones, but specifically my copy has three jambs, one of which directly glows: - The slot for SIM cards and flash drives "lies" crooked. The part where the hole for the paperclip is just above the entire level of the frame. Feels with fingers. - Bixby and power buttons backlash - this is tolerable, pushed into the case and is normal; - The gap between the glass and the frame. A blade will fit in there, seriously. It would seem - such a perversion - to shove the blade into the slot, but besides this, dust / dirt also gets there. If there are no problems with vision, it is noticeable. IMHO, some kind of sealing gum between the glass and the frame would be in place (it probably is, but inside); 2. Interesting moments with communication. In general, there are no problems. However, in a short period of ownership, the 4-ge fell off once, the whole connection fell off again when he left the basement. Started after 2-3 reboots. Not annoying, but it was; 3. There are vague doubts about the frame of the device. The phone did not ram anything, but a small dent appeared from somewhere on top. It seems to me that the material is very soft. Cover (silicone is desirable) to take in the first place; 4. I completely forgot to write about retinal scanning - I am adding. Its color and brightness are so infernal that they burn out the retina in an instant, and if you point the phone at the sky during the scan, you can shoot down a plane flying by. In general, the face recognizes itself quite well, I would turn off the retinal scanner. 5. Didn't wait? Me too. I'm ating my review a month after posting. Static objects on the screen are evil and pain for the owners, because the screen burns out (although it is then restored, but for how long?). I tell you how it was. I put the device on charge early in the morning, Always on display was turned on. Either intuition, or a ray of sun hit right in the eye, but I decided to check how my shovel was doing for 60k and was "pleasantly" surprised)) 0) I will remember the date 08/07/2022 for a long time, because it was she who was printed on the screen))0 I will continue in the comments.

A normal product, but they wanted more for the money.

Everything is super, but life near the socket is provided. I switched to huawei mate 20 pro, that's where the power is, and there are curved edges and there is a super camera, and thank God the charge is enough for my active use for 1.5-2 days. And the price is the same. Some pros: I really liked the camera, the screen is also good, juicy, in general, everything is in order with this.

Three weeks since I received this device as a gift, and to this day I find something new and interesting. Magnificent quality of the device itself and the quality of parts.

Nightmarish quality and complete inconsistency with the description.

For me, the phone is a tool for making calls and a little toy that is always at hand. In models, even twenty years ago, there were pre-installed games (at least a "snake") and headphones in the kit. The manufacturer understood that it was also a toy. What do we have now? "Cool" camera! What for? Will you invite a professional photographer who shoots on a smartphone to your place? :-) Probably not. For any screen and amateur shots 10 x 15 2 megapixel matrix. (real 2 megapixels) Enough with your…

Pros
  • Matrix. Sound.
Cons
  • No headphones included. Weak battery (24 hours in economy mode). There are no preinstalled games.

Best I have ever used, great product for anyone!

The screen and expensive body materials draw out all the disadvantages of this phone. I've always been skeptical about Samsung, but the S9+ is very good. The screen can be adjusted for color reproduction "like an iPhone", but the colors of the photo will not be adjusted anymore - apparently the Koreans' proprietary approach with excessive contrast.

Pros
  • Gorgeous screen, the phone looks great, the camera is really good, it works pretty fast, branded Alcantara cases.
Cons
  • In my opinion, too contrasting unnatural colors of photos and videos. Does not support Quick Charge fast charging, only Samsung branded chargers . If not the original plug, then the choice of very slow charging 1-1.5A - More than three hours, or 2A - More than 2 hours . Compared to Pixel / Nexus, the shell is not as fast, but you get used to it. Usb type C headphones do not work, only audio jack or bluetooth. The bundled headphones may not be bad, but I can't use them because of the strange design. The battery is enough for a working day from 8 to 20 without heavy tasks and a reserve for them.

Impressions are the most negative! NEVER waste your money on this scam. Here's an offer for you- Buy a Chinese for 8k SLR or mirrorless for 30, along with the most common lens, which will be in style times better than this gadget. People, this phone has a red price of 30 k Its pros: The main advantage of this device is absolutely nothing, just a feature that you have a flagship to show your "friends". Has some cons Camera.

Only a few days later I noticed that the back cover is not evenly glued, there is a gap on top (not on the bottom) 😥 100% original. . The rest is just super! I've been using it for more than a year with the original case with a lid and an LCD display, so it's like new, only the fingerprint sensor is lost, there's not a scratch on the screen. Only now the memory in the phone and the memory card from photos and videos is clogged. Many applications are installed, so even with little use, Akuma…

Not a bad product, but you can find better.

Yes, fast, yes super screen, just magic. But the camera is very bad. The camera of this device has a big drawback - a clean soap dish with a software improvement. At first I thought it was only so bad for me, like a marriage, although I bought it in an official store. But it turns out they are all like that. I explain. In the normal mode (without auto-blurring of the background), only always (!) Objects in the distance, in the background, are focused SIGNIFICANTLY better than the objects on…

Pros
  • 1) Performance is great 2) The screen is just a miracle 3) Screen sensitivity is excellent 4) Runtime in economy mode is excellent
Cons
  • 1) The camera is a soap dish (see the comment, do not trust anyone, go to the store and check for yourself, you will understand - a cheap soap dish, but with a wide aperture) 2) Terrible working time in normal mode when there is internet and network ate (push)

I expected mediocre quality, but the product was pleasantly surprised.

For a phone for 50k, it works so-so (it's already cheaper now), but it's important that it doesn't fail. After a more budget model, the wow-effect was not noticed. I advise you to take it if you just want to pamper yourself, but you don’t want to buy an iPhone 10 for any other reason :) Different pros: The screen, speed, a lot of space on the internal media, which can not be limited in downloading applications, but it is rapidly decreasing under ates (for six months -15 GB).
