Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite what I wanted, but mostly okay.

So, the phone is not worth the asking price; the camera is its one saving grace, but even that is insufficient. These issues have plagued previous models in this range (s7, s8) and will almost certainly affect the upcoming s10 within the next few months. The phone has its own life and will "go to sleep" if the battery is below 20%. I find Dolby Atmos to be a depressingly pointless convenience: if it can be enabled automatically from the factory, there's no reason to activate it just to show off

Pros
  • 1) It has decent ergonomics, it feels excellent in your hand and it does not slide about. Samsung is succeeding in this respect. 2) There are no issues with the camera (primarily used for video), while still photographs can be unreliable at times. Thirdly, reading and transferring files quickly is a ten. 4) The 3.5 mm IP68 jack is readily available 5) Samsung Pay is simple to use and authenticates your handset, making it ideal for making purchases. (6) The music sounds great via the stereo, and I've found me using headphones less and less.
Cons
  • (1) The most crucial and intriguing When your phone's battery is between 5 and 17 percent full, you turn it on, see 17 percent, and think you have time to go grocery shopping; however, when you check your battery level again 3 minutes later, you'll see that you're down to 3 percent, and you can't use Samsung Pay until you have at least 5% charge. 2) The fingerprint sensor does not operate as well as those found in some Chinese smartphones; the issue is not that it does not detect the fingerprint, but that it does not even see it. I have tried placing my finger on the sensor five times with no success; the device does not report an invalid fingerprint or anything of the sort; rather, it simply shuts off as though my finger were not present. Regarding clever scanning, I will remain mum. (3) Independence In other words, if I use my smartphone for anything more than two or three hours in a day (the rest of the time it stays on standby mode), the battery will be dead by the end of the day. That's so even if HD, not QHD, is the screen resolution. At $55,000, this is little compared to the price of a comparable phone. The battery life of a device at 100% charge is about 3-4 hours. Fourthly, while browsing the web, the phone heats up to a level comparable to that of a neutron star. I haven't tried games like Asphalt or PUBG on it, but I'm sure it's a top-tier farm. So, it is no surprise that the phone gets hot in use and is consequently extremely unpleasant to handle.

The average product, you can find a better one.

The screen is flawless; I have no issues with the resolution, brightness, contrast, or viewing angles, and neither do I have any issues with the quality of the glass; my device has not been scratched despite my not using a case. Little compared to the huge smartphones that are popular now. Fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It's the first and last Samsung I'll ever buy because it's not worth the money. The question is how to accomplish this using an Android interface. The icon typefaces are…

Pros
  • Display, Dimensions, and Charging Capability through Wireless Charging Pad
Cons
  • Considerations: -Battery Life -User Experience -Suggested Retail Price (design)

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

I purchased this device about six months ago. In theory, I'm happy with it; it's currently one of the fastest and most powerful phones. No brakes are used, and all games run smoothly at top speed. Working is enjoyable too. Samsung's long-standing screen split is even more practical now that you can change the size of each panel, to the delight of everyone. Currently, the most potent tool is usually the camera. The main drawback is that the phone is still pricey for our country, and I would…

Pros
  • amazing camera Powerful processor, loads of Memory, quick phone performance, good display, and waterproof design
Cons
  • On such a screen, expensive protective glasses are useless.

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…

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.

Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

Just because of the camera did I pre-order it. The camera is excellent. But, considering the battery life, cost, and new models from other manufacturers with good cameras, I recognized that I was rushing the decision. The next time, I'll search for something more resilient. acquired advantages: Nothing ever slows down with such might. fantastic screen Magnetic stripe payments are supported by Samsung Pay.

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

I enjoy the gadget generally, primarily for the camera. But reliability turned out to be a poor concept. It is not necessary to have a curved screen, however Samsung did not provide versions with the same features and a flat screen. About the battery, they express their complaints here, but it seemed to me that everything was in order, and when compared to other Android devices, the Samsung even lasts a little bit longer. When I haven't used much, I might charge every third day. A YouTuber in…

Pros
  • + The camera is excellent; it looks great and, in my opinion, shoots better than any other identical model that was available for purchase at the time. Night photography is extremely enjoyable (1.5 aperture is excellent); in the image, I can see more than I can in person. Sharpness, color reproduction, and quick focus. I grabbed it and pressed it; no lengthy tweaks, corrections, or focussing were required. + The screen is fairly decent, with the exception of the curvature; it is outstanding in terms of brightness and color, but it requires additional software settings. + The performance of the gps, wi-fi, bluetooth, and mobile networks is excellent. I was particularly interested in positioning because I frequently visit forests and lakes; the device did not dissapoint, searching quickly and precisely. + Software from Samsung is often normal. + Excellent warranty service (see below for breakdowns).
Cons
  • - A strip in the touchscreen appeared after 8 months of very careful use, for no apparent reason. The taps started to "fail" in this area of the screen, and when you click on the dropped strip, it counts as two taps. But as a promise, they replaced the complete screen and Akum in a single day, thus there are no longer any issues. - Oddly enough, their main selling point is a curved screen, which is very annoying. WHY? This is a particular issue on websites with infa on the sides because it makes it very tough to poke where it is needed and makes watching movies and videos strange. Naturally, I knew what I was aiming at, but I didn't anticipate how inconvenient it would be. * Bixby button is not required; bxAction suffices. But, the ability to frequently alter it was added in the most recent ates, glory to Cthulhu, so don't consider this a drawback.

The product is okay, it's not a waste of money!

It's a good thing I ordered it in advance. I was given the chance to return it a month ago. I did exactly that. For that kind of money, it would probably be wiser to purchase two or perhaps three pure Chinese items. several advantages The battery is excluded.

I am satisfied with everything, the product corresponds to the description.

To this point, I've only been use it for a week. Prior to that, I worked for HTC 10 Lifestyle for a total of two years (previously LG G2). The battery life of the Galaxy S9 is the primary reason for this phone's inferiority versus its predecessors. despite the fact that each of them has the same volume. HTC and LG were both able to last for two days, while the S9 only lasted until the end of one light. Yeah, it would appear that a significant portion of the population is consuming the screen…

Pros
  • the rate of work Functional. Camera. Screen (color reproduction, brightness - completely visible even in the daylight) (color reproduction, brightness - perfectly visible even in the sun). External speakers that are both loud and of a good quality. The sound quality is excellent when I wear the headphones. Always Available for Seeing, etc., etc.!
Cons
  • Battery life is poor! Italicize Corps. Poor placement of the Bixby key, and on top of that, it can only be transferred by programs not developed by Apple (lagers). The spherical screen is still an identifying feature. It is far larger than I need, and when packaged in the branded Protection Standing Cover, it weights up to 211 grams.

I expected more from buying, but not the worst option.

Mediocre, but it has three redeeming qualities: a screen that doesn't bother the eyes, two speakers, and a work speed that isn't yet wild. Nevertheless, because to its dumb roundness, you'll have to put up with a poor camera, battery life, Bixby, and extra taps on the screen. Pros: The s9 is near the top of its class because of its excellent display, two speakers (instead of just one), and minimum acceptable processing speed, but it does have some drawbacks that can be annoying. Also, the…

The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

Prior to making the purchase, there were not particularly great hopes for the phone. After putting it to use for a few days, I was really pleased with it. - After using it for a period of six months, here are the positives: + The phone continues to impress with its long-lasting battery and high-quality photographs (especially at night). + We are convinced that the battery will last for two days. When utilized to its fullest extent till the day's end, there is never any need for additional…

Pros
  • I purchased a phone from Qualcom in the United States of America, and the battery lasts for an exceptionally long time. I charge it once every two days, and it has enough juice for the full two days plus another 10-15%. In the identical conditions, the LG G3 lasted for around half a day, but the iPhone 5 lasted until the evening. It is quick, it fits nicely in the hand, it has a great screen and sound, it has a tiny jack, I charge it once every two days, it is not slippery, and it has a wonderful camera. When the phone is placed on a flat surface with the screen facing down, the silent mode is activated, and the rounded corners of the phone glow in a circular pattern whenever a notification is received.
Cons
  • There is now the first generation of the Google Pixel, which takes pictures more quickly and efficiently. The Galaxy S9 produces decent images, but even the first pixel on the Pixel 2 is far faster, and the resulting image is much more impressive. Nonetheless, the night images that can be taken with the S9 are very impressive. There is no option to double tap the screen in order to activate it. Instead, a firm push on the screen in the location where the home button ought to be would accomplish the same thing. Although it's not very comfortable, you should be able to adapt quite quickly. Via the use of the bxActions application, the independently-controlled bigsby button can be reprogrammed to do any purpose. Through the use of Navbar Apps, the bottom navigation bar can be personalized (red icon)

Not all that bad, but there are minuses.

A phone that is not only well-made but also pleasing to the touch and easy to handle, in addition to having an excellent camera. Sadly, the use of Samsung products demonstrates (before, there were the S6 and S7) that the lifespan of these pricey phones ranges from nine months to one and a half years. Those directly before the generation that comes after them. After that, they will fall off. The iPhone is built to last longer. Pros: The camera on the device is the primary benefit of having the…

Not a bad product, quite normal quality.

Mortgages, loans, ideas on how to earn money rather than spend it, and the necessity for a nice phone were taken care of, which resolved the problem for a while.

Satisfactory product quality, good price.

Even if there are better and cheaper alternatives by 2022, I doubt it will still be useful at that point. I paid roughly $550-600 (there was a sale in the shop, so I paid $700-750) for it in May of 2022. I considered the iPhone XP, Oneplus 7Pro, Samsung Galaxy S10e, and Google Pixel 3a, but ultimately settled on the Huawei P20 Pro (C9) due to its reasonable price, attractive style, and extensive set of capabilities. Considering how much I spent on it, I doubt I have any regrets about the…

Pros
  • A top-tier display that competes with the best in the industry. Enjoyable viewing experiences can be had while using it; The system shell allows for a great deal of customization, allowing each user of the same phone to experience it in a completely unique way. The phone has several useful "features," like a nfs reader, an excellent fingerprint scanner, a heart rate sensor, a retinal scanner (I did not use it myself, because a fingerprint scanner is enough), and a lot of other functions that I probably still have not reached. Just having it visible at all times is a great convenience. If you're not a wireless user like me, the 3.5 mm jack is still useful.
Cons
  • To me, Exynos is the biggest negative aspect. The smartphone comes in two different processor architectures (exynos and snapdragon), but I was unable to buy one on snap and therefore had to settle for this. It turns out that every single problem can be traced back to the CPU. Microfreezes galore nearly from the first day of use; shaky performance with heavy use (browser tabs, Facebook, YouTube, etc.) The active use of it causes it to warm up; - a spotty, sometimes nonexistent network (where my ancient iPhone picks up the signal fine, the C9 displays a couple of "sticks"; this has actually happened). This has no effect on the functionality or reliability of the link, though. - nfs instability (debatable drawback; I'm not sure if the issue lies with the bank app or the phone itself, but the truth remains that it sometimes works properly and other times verifies the purchase once or twice); Hardly a miracle by any means, but I had higher hopes for the camera, especially the front-facing one; - Battery: I was aware it had limited autonomy, but I had no idea that life could be so depressing at times. Very easy button press stroke: accidental presses and screenshots are guaranteed; Bixby: partially follows from the previous one, I will only add that the button is useless and it is impossible to reassign it without a crookedly working program; and other little things. The phone is sufficient for a day, a little more MB, with average use (social networks, YouTube + music and various programs);

The product did not disappoint, the quality pleases.

The phone has a number of positive qualities: The cameras are great, and the resulting images look stunning in natural light. The audio impressed me, as it is rich and full without being shrill. Negatives: - something is wrong with the headphone audio jack; upon closer inspection, I discovered that the jack of my separately purchased headphones dangled in the phone; as a result, the volume changed somewhat when the phone was in my pocket. Without a park, I tried using the included headphones…

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

I chose a phone with standard dimensions so I could keep it in my pocket during the summer and drive without restriction. So there are severely deficient pockets in the summer heat.

The product can be used, I expected a little more.

The phone is generally well-made, pleasant to the touch, and loaded with high-quality hardware (except for a rather weak battery). Nevertheless, the impression is substantially ruined by the pre-installed software "from the manufacturer" on it. One message, for instance, must be removed by repeatedly poking the screen (at least three times) in different locations. Another instance is when I use a second, local SIM card in my phone to access the Internet when I'm on international roaming. The…

Pros
  • Okay, a well-made phone case - there are no issues here: it fits in the hand comfortably, isn't a "shovel," and because there are no frames, the screen size is respectable. The screen itself is first-rate, bright, and has a resolution that may be much higher than is required. The fingerprint scanner is rather handily positioned, and it works quickly and accurately. The sound is audible and distinct. There aren't any issues with the camera either; it performs at the standard of the apparatus. The screen glass is also quite good; even after three months of carrying it in a jeans pocket, there hasn't been a scratch.
Cons
  • The battery might be much better; if you read from the screen a lot (rather than watching video or playing games), it could not last until the end of the day. This separate Bixby button, which can only be used to display the Bixby panel, which is absurd in and of itself, is also annoying because it is placed in such a way that you frequently press it by accident. The pre-installed (and, at the same time, non-removable) software "from the manufacturer," which is obtruded by the manufacturer with all his might even though, on average, it is significantly worse in terms of functionality and configurability than similar software on devices of well-known Chinese allies, upsets most people.

Mediocre product, probably won't use.

A device that, surprisingly, does not suffer from any lag at all. It is easy to operate with one hand, it is comfortable to keep in your hand, and it does not slip. The speakers produce quality sound, and the screen is very impressive. The Bixby button, on the other hand, is a genuine case of scarlet fever. I don't understand why it's impossible to add the ability to disable or reassign the Bixby button to the settings. This would prevent users of the Galaxy S9 from having to install different…
