Samsung Galaxy S9 packs a lovely display, great camera and a design that is still one of the best. It's also available at a much lower price than the S10.

Samsung has created a very premium and polished phone
Expert review by : Gareth Beavis (techradar.com)
The Galaxy S9 is provides a solid smartphone experience over a year on from its launch, at a now lower price.
Swift biometric security Awesome low-light performance Very powerful
Design is identical to S8 Some camera snaps lack vibrancy Expensive
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a great phone, but one that didn't really kick on from the Galaxy S8, bringing a very similar design and screen to 2017's version. The improved biometrics were sorely needed, and the camera is a leap forward, but the amazing...

Samsung's tweaking has made the S9 one of the best Android phones around.
Superb screen for video ; Powerful performance ; Dual-aperture camera is effective ; Well built ; Great design
Audio still lacks the last word in timing
Samsung has gone down the Apple route of only making minor tweaks, but this has resulted in one of the best Android phones this year

Brilliant display ; Stereo sound is surprisingly powerful ; Curved glass and metal is very attractive ; Comfortable to use ; Super speedy and fluid performance
Battery isn't great ; Camera over-exposes highlights regularly ; AR Emoji and Bixby need a lot of improving ; Expensive

It might be more appropriate to call it the S8 mk2, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 is stunning smartphone across the board. Here's our full review.
Expert review by : Tom Morgan-Freelander (stuff.tv)
The best Android phone in the world just got (slightly) better
Refined, stylish design with gorgeous curved screen ; Improved low-light camera, excellent slo-mo video ; All the features you’d want in a flagship
Improved camera still can’t quite beat the best ; Hard to tell the S9 apart from the S8 ; Fingerprint sensor still a bit close to the camera
Easily the best all-round Android phone you can buy today
Expert review by : Chris Barraclough (recombu.com)
Samsung's 2018 flagship phone looks like a direct clone of last year's model. So is the Galaxy S9 an essential smartphone, or should you save a bit of cash and grab the S8 instead? Here's our full review.
Smart camera tech ; Premium everyday experience ; Superb performance
No real upgrade ; Pricey ; Beaten by cheaper rivals
So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9?

Samsung does it again with another stunner of a smartphone
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
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...
