Perfect product
Good performance, the basic battery to rush once a day, not very often play games, only watch news and chat. Standby state power consumption is a bit high, video chat more than 10 minutes the camera will be a bit hot. Playing games is easy, there is no non-smooth phenomenon. Facial iris recognition is sensitive. The camera night view effect is very good. Summary, battery good, other aspects perfect.

I should have stuck with iPhone
At first glance the s9 is beautiful. Then you turn the thing on and you get to know it more and it starts to do some silly things. I have never had an issue with Apple. It always run everything smooth and you get pretty much everything you backed up. My s9 keyboard started to type things on its own while I was typing so I took it in to the shop and they done a software reboot. I lost 4 months worth of photos of my family and other important files that I will never get back. Changing to Samsung is the worse thing I have ever done. I just recontr...Read more
acted so I can't do much to change my phone. But I will definitely go back to iPhone as soon as my 1 year is up. Samsung phones tries to do to much and everything crap itself. While iPhone is so user friendly, I don't know why people would ever go for Samsung. This idiot did it. Don't make the same mistake.1 comment

Best phone on the market
Camera is amazing it's a huge step up from my non exploding Note Edge. Good size, stable software, no complaints. Battery is average but will last 2 days if not used heavily. Wireless charging works well but note that it takes twice as long as plugging it in. yes it has a headphone jack, which is great.

A big step up from my previous phone
I purchased my phone through our local Telstra shop. One of the features I was looking for in my new phone was a good quality camera. I have been more than impressed with the camera even more than I expected. The bigger screen shows quality images that I am more than happy with. In fact on a recent week long island holiday I used camera phone exclusively rather than my stand alone camera. I am more than happy with the brightness of the display. I also do use my phone to check E mails as well as a camera.

Unreliable!! Delayed smses
I loved my s8 then decided to upgrade to s9. Big regrets!! My smses to friends are delayed or end up grouped and recieved hours later! Very unreliable SMS service! The rest of the phone is great. Just not the SMS. I really regret the mobile now! I dont recommend it! My friend has same phone and he has same problems!

Best phone I've ever owned
The Galaxy S9 is the perfect-sized phone. It’s easy to wrap our palms around this smooth 5.8-inch device, and our fingers ergonomically rest on the curved edges along the S9’s frame. The power button on the right edge sits in an easy-to-access position, as does the Bixby button on the left edge. It’s a shame we’ve turned off Bixby’s functionality, so the button remains useless — more on that later.

Bixby, with a dedicated hardware button?
The phone is as good as the price tag suggests.. but Bixby.. with a hardware button? What is this rubbish. I hope Samsung's bloatware goes in the other direction next model (or the next model I buy).
I grabbed a Gear VR for this phone (get the newer one that runs on with Note 8). Fantastic, not any really deep VR games, but it's pretty fun for a $150au add on.

Dont buy S9
So frustrating. Try sending a message to a new number. Nightmare!! No write new message button. Loved my Note 4.... loath the changes on S9. Keyboard changes mean dialogue box keeps jumping because arrow buttons too close to dialogue box edges... big time buyers regret.
Battery life not soo great either.. disappointed

I never thought a phone could be this good
Fantastic phone. Awesome screen, camera and sound - with quick charge and very good software.
The only Con would be having to navigate through all the Google software which literally tries to overtake your life. Not happy Google.
This is my 4th Samsung phone and by far the best. Very expensive new, so I got mine pre-loved for around half price with brand new accessories.
It does attract fingerprints, but it's worth it for a great looking machine.
Very good job Samsung.

Perfect phone
The new features on this phone are a great addition and worthy of the money. The edge of phone with short cuts great. Big storage is perfect with option of extending further. The new camera takes amazing. The new surcety fixtures options are more than perfect overall a perfect phone.

Okay, yet not worth the price tag
If this phone came without Bixby I'd give this item 4 stars. Or at least come without the need for 3rd party app to disable.
Very poor button sizing, needs to be addressed.
Great earphones.
Getting annoyed at this fifty words requirement. When only a few can describe accurately and just as easily

I Love Mine but it's not Perfect! 4.5/5
Upgrading from a S7, I've fallen in love with my S9, I love using it, the screen is glorious, the camera is great, it's fast and slick and with Android you can customise a lot!
But on the flip side the battery life is very very challenging, I'm always charging it throughout the day. I'm getting used to the finger print reader but unlocking the phone when it's mounted in the car is challenging. Video recording is limited to 5-10 minutes in 4k unlike iPhones that record unlimited.
Overall, if I had to recommend a phone in 2018, I'd go for t...Read more
he iPhone 8 as it has an ace battery, ace performance, ace camera, touch ID and with Apple Care you're protected in case of damage. But, I'm still very happy with my S9, as I'm an Android guy and this is the best Android phone you can get, even with all the compromises.

Good phone
This phone does have some practical issues. With a protective screen cover the touch screen on the smooth edge is difficult to use. The other problem is lack of the home, return and screen buttons on the bottom which i had on the s6 makes it difficult for navigation. Every thing else is great but these issues lowered my over all opinion.

Questions & Answers
Robynasked
I've just updated to an S9 - is there some way of showing that I have a message or missed a phone call? If I don't hear a message come in there is no indication on the screen like there was on all my other phones - they used to show a small number in the corner of the app on the screen

Check in setting if you have the notifications set on, they might not be, I get all the notifications from missed calls and texts but i also went through all the settings and changed them all to how I like them.
PhilSamsung
Hi there, thanks for your question!
There are a few ways you can check if you have missed calls, messages or notifications.
Firstly, if you have your Always On feature enabled you will see notification icons below the time.
(Please note if you have Battery Saver on Always On gets disabled as well as the LED indicator on the top left of the screen).
Check Settings > Notifications > Enable 'App Icon Badges' > Click into App Icon Badges and make sure under 'Badge Style' Show with number is enabled.
Then below that there is a 'Show notifications' feature which if you turn on, you can press & hold onto an app, and it'll give you a small notification preview. (Please check through the list of apps in the first page to see if the right apps are enabled).
Check Settings > Display > Enable LED indicator
Hope this helps! And remember, if Battery Saver is turned on, most of your notifications indicators will be disabled to save battery.
