Generally good

published

Phone looks great - excellent screen.
Camera is fine for standard well lit photos but doesnt compare well (slow, grainy) with even a point&shoot camera.
For my use I cant get through the working day without recharging
Annoying bugs with some genuine apps - will reset overnight whilst charging
I guess it is amongst the best of mobile phones - will look for better battery life with my next phone

Better than Apple

published

The pictures and videos this phone produces are remarkable. I have had Samsung's for the last 5 years but the S9+ is by far the best. Easy to use for messages, calls and anything app related. Only downfall is my kids have worked out how to unlock it but they watch everything with hawk eyes!! Can't fault it.

Best phone. Great camera

published

Love the camera. Pictures turn out great and there are several different modes including background blur which gives a great effect to photos. The battery seems to last forever. I have so many photos and apps on my phone and its storage is no where near full

Stop making these stupid edge screens

published

Have heaps of issues with screen protectors with edge screen. Touch input doesn't work well on edge.
The edge screen offers no benefits and is as useless as bixby... which is annoying.
Apart from that phone is good.. although I have had issues with zoom on camera which may be due to phone being dropped.

Best phone ever

published

Camera quality is great and I enjoy the usability of it. I have stopped relying on my SLR. Apps run great on it except snapchat is a bit off. Love the display and the best thing about it is the sound. It sounds better than my car! I have had this phone for a little more than 6 months and its been functioning like a dream.

Water damage

published

Super unhappy with service and phone water resistance.
So apparently this phone is water resistant un to 1.5m for 30min. Well, my phone shut itself after I operated the phone with wet hands after swimming in a salt water lagoona. The charging port was displaying moisture detected on and off for 2 days before battery rapidly discharging. The service staff assured me it should be under warranty as phone wasn't dropped in water and I would get my p hi one back in 24 hours. I got phone 4 days later and had to pay for the repair of charging port!
Water resistant??? I think not

Hi Dario, I am really sorry to hear what's happened to your Galaxy S9+. I've sent you a PM requesting for more information, when it is most convenient for you, can you please send those details through?

Excellent phone, however with a few issues

published

The Samsung Galaxy S9+ is an excellent addition to the S series. Being a previous owner of the S7, it was definitely a great upgrade. However, I feel as though the stock OS is still quite glitchy as it does lag sometimes. Particularly, Samsung tend to put too many gimmicky features, such as their AR emojis, also their annoying Bixby Voice assistant! Honestly it is very disappointing, it cannot understand what I am saying at all. The google voice is far superior. However, this is still a very decent phone. It's aesthetic, has a fantastic screen, and decent-enough battery life. I would still definitely recommend this phone!

Love It But

published

Love my Galaxy S9+ But have only had it for less than 6 months and it's already having issues. There seems to be speaker issue when talking to someone. Thought it was just the other people I talk to but then everyone was complaining that they couldn't hear me properly even though all the phones were different brands and models. Constantly updating, like almost once a week (seriously, I know they want to keep improving but every week...really). Other than that the quality of the camera is amazeballs, the graphics in general are really good, video is really good too and I still wouldn't change to iPhone anyway. Samsung loyal!

Okay

Samsung Galaxy S9+ is ok. Have some issues with heating whilst playing games. Also troubles with charging cable but otherwise everything else is great. Doesnt smash screen if dropped by a child. Battery last awhile but does chew battery if hotspotting internet. I use my phone for various things from messaging, phone calls to hotspotting and face timing my family

OK phone

Phone is good, takes good photos however it doesnt have as many features as the others. You cant change message colours, beauty face is gone from the camera, my phone will just rsndomly type letters and add letters to my words. Whenever i type fast the phone stuffs up.
Apps are always shutting down as well.
I really want samsung to bring Beauty face back on camera.

Love this phone!

published

Pros - I have had iphones and samsung phones in the past but this is the best one by far! Clear screen, edge function, no freezing with apps, good battery life, upgrade-able memory - this phone fulfils all my needs.

Cons - I bought mine through Kogan.com. They source their phones from overseas so it was cheaper, the only downside being that my offers received through Samsung Pay are all Singapore based.
The other thing is that my previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S7 and I didn't realise that the connection changes from a micro USB to a type C USB meaning that you will need to buy new extra charging cables. Also the new phone won't work with the Samsung Oculus VR, even with an adaptor

Worth every cent!

published

I come from an iPhone 7, and I had issues with reliability and battery life. The screen of the iPhone just wasn't cutting it. When I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S9+, I was greeted with an amazing AMOLED screen, with superb colours. The battery life wasn't anything spectacular but it was a huge improvement from the iPhone 7. The customizability and the sheer amount of extras in the phone was a reason I bought the phone. The camera is arguably the best I have ever seen, the images are clear and vibrant and they are saturated to the point where it looks irresitable.

Best for Business Use

published

I just it day and night so I mean I can't live without it. Camera is probably one of the best ones in the market right now and I mean for the price of this you would expect no less. I do think Samsung makes better products than Apple. So far the phone is absolutely flawless and I love how it is water resistant. I can practically run my entire marketing business just with this phone, its a powerful piece of hardware.

Great phone

published

I was an iPhone user and my iPhone died with just 1 drop of water on it so I've decided to get the Samsung S9+ which I've used happily for 1 year but I've had some issues with the RAM which was 4GB but when the S9+ was released I've purchased it since it had 6GB RAM and all of my issues has been rectified, very happy, will never go back to iPhone.
The screen size is very good and the camera is second to none, all of my friends are amazed with the quality of the camera, also it's very easy to turn on and off the location service which is a pain when you want to do the same thing in iPhone, phone comes with phone optimizer and the widgets are very handy.

Questions & Answers

Cccasked

I bought a S9+ 256gb last year before reviews on it existed. I then heard Samsung had blocked Call Recording apps from working on it so without ever opening the phone I sold it off losing $400 & went back to the S8+. Is it true Call Recording apps don't work on this handset?

Hi Cory, based on Google’s security policy and local law, Samsung had blocked call recording through 3rd party ACR applications. We truly do apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused you and I will be sure to pass your feedback along.
