Samsung has been the king of the Android phone market for some time now. But is this set to change in 2018 with the release of its latest flagship? Does the S9 have enough to beat the , and ?

Fantastic display; Feels great; Much improved speakers

Average battery life; Dual-sensor only on Plus model; Some lag with Samsung's software

Despite being launched as a completely new generation, I'd say the Galaxy S9 itself is a transition model. It's more of an upgrade similar to the S-branded models in the iPhone family and which Samsung launched in order to buy more time until more substantial upgrades are ready.And this does make...

Is the standard Galaxy S9 worth a look when the Plus does it so much better? Yes... But only in certain cases

Great design; Fantastic screen; Powerful internals

Lacks the second camera of the S9 Plus

The Samsung Galaxy S9 sits alongside the S9+ as the latest flagship smartphones from Samsung. Both phones are notable in that they are the first smartphones to offer cameras with a variable aperture lens, that is one that you can control yourself.

My review isnt fair as I'm sure an android user would think this phone is the bees knees. However I have always been an apple user and for many reasons thought it's time to try android. Ohhhhhhhh nooooooo. So hard! Settings for settings, then other settings in other apps.

This Samsung S9 phone might not be the latest and greatest, but it is still a great phone. Relatively compact, large bright screen, very good camera. I was stressing out over picking this phone as I wasn't sure how it would compare to my old S7 Edge, which I loved, but this phone is so much better.

Just like the S8 before it, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is the best phone in the world, with lightning-fast performance, a stupendous camera and a lovely design. Unfortunately, it hasn't done enough to surpass its predecessor, which is still almost as impressive whilst being significantly cheaper.

The fastest Android phone we've ever seen; Amazing low-light camera; Slick features

Doesn't do enough to better last year's Galaxy S8

Better then I expected so far. Still learning all the features. Seems very easy to operate. Transferred all the information from my other phone easily.

Very nice phone; As a former flagship model, it's as fast as I would expect it to be

I'm not wild about the gold colour, but it was the lowest price; I also thought the battery life would be a bit better, but it's not too terrible

I had not realised how out of date my old S5 was, better security, better battery life and so much more. Great camera, took close up of the back of my watch for infomation, instead of it being a problem because of the sun light it was as clear as a bell.
