Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

 

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus review, price and release date: Tweaks in all the right places for Samsung's plus-size flagship smartphone.

Feels great for a big phone ; The OLED display is great and highly customisable ; Numerous camera features on offer

Iterative upgrade ; AR Emoji are just bad ; Some lag with Samsung’s software

Aside from the overall size, price and camera, the biggest difference between the two Galaxy S9 flagships are the size of their batteries. The 3500mAh cell inside the Galaxy S9 Plus is a nice upgrade over the 3000mAh cell in the regular S9, but...

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus review

 

Here's our full review of the Galaxy S9 Plus, with a big 6.2-inch display and specs that remain powerful years later. Is it still worth it in 2020?

Impressive low-light camera Better-placed fingerprint sensor Loud stereo speakers

Not all that different to S8 Plus AR Emoji mode is overrated Pricey for 0.4 in of extra screen

You won't find a bigger and better Android phone than the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, thanks to its oversized 6.2-inch curved screen and low-light-defeating dual-lens camera. Sure, it looks exactly like last year's S8 Plus, but it does fix the fingerprint...

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review

 

Small tweaks and upgrades make an already excellent phone even better

The best screen on a smartphone ; Versatile dual-lens camera ; Fantastic performance ; Eye-catching design

Little has changed from last year

More evolution than revolution, but that’s still enough to make the S9+ the best big Android phone you can buy today

Samsung S9 Plus review: the most powerful and elegant big phone in the world

 

The Galaxy S9 Plus sets a new benchmark for super-sized Android phones, despite not much changing from last year's model

Standout dual-lens camera system ; Luxe 6.2-inch Super AMOLED display ; Better-placed fingerprint sensor

Similar to Galaxy S8 Plus ; More expensive than S9

Great performance ; Excellent cameras ; Stunning display

Iterative hardware and features ; Fingerprint magnet ; Expensive

The Galaxy S9+ might be the second-most (after the standard

The Galaxy S9 Plus is the Samsung phone you want

 

It has one ace up its sleeve to top the fully equipped Galaxy S9.

The Galaxy S9 Plus one-ups the excellent Galaxy S9 with a second rear camera for taking portrait photos.

Battery life fell short of last year's model in our early tests, and the Galaxy S9 Plus suffers from the same underbaked extras as the smaller Galaxy S9. The dual-aperture camera tends to overexpose low-light photos in auto mode.

Samsung's Galaxy S9 Plus is the more robust Galaxy S9, and the one for power users to get.

Samsung Galaxy S9+ review

 

Samsung's plus-sized S9 sees double with a dual lens, dual aperture camera

Stellar screen ; Top-notch camera ; Incredibly powerful

Almost unchanged design ; Uncomfortable to hold for some

A big, blockbuster phone that awesome at pretty much everything. It’ll probably be too big for most people though.

The new Samsung Galaxy S9+ has an enormous 6.2-inch screen and a large price tag to match. Have enough improvements been made to this year's model to make it worth considering over last year's Galaxy S8+? Read on to find out our first impressions based...

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus review: A great phone with minor flaws

 

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is a beast of a smartphone – a great all-rounder and the pick of Samsung's 2018 flagships

All of which brings this review of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus to a rather spongy, limp end. Don’t get me wrong, I do like the S9 Plus. It’s a great phone with two great cameras that shoot fabulous photos and video. It’s quick, too – the fastest...
