Our Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus Review

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus features a number of improvements over the much-loved S8 line from last year. The devices includes the game-changing Super AMOLED Infinity Display along with a greatly improved camera, fingerprint scanner and processor.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Display

The Galaxy S9 Plus features the same Infinity Display as the previous model, but this isn’t an issue due to it easily being the best screen available on a smartphone right now (so good even the new iPhone uses it). The S9 Plus has a 6.2-inch display, which curves slightly around the sides and stretches all the way to the edge of the device, giving the phone that much-coveted bezel-free experience. 

The Super AMOLED technology on offer makes blacks and colours more vibrant, with users unable to make out individual pixels.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Camera

The camera on the SP Plus is vastly improved compared to the previous model. Users can choose between 2 different aperture modes, meaning you can choose the best option for the lighting conditions and create photos that are truly artistic.

The S9 Plus now allows users to shoot 4K video, with more video options than ever. Users can take slo-mo clips that you can set as your lock screen and watch back 4K footage on the stunning screen. The camera also uses augmented reality features, such as translating writing you hold up to the lens.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Design

The S9 Plus has been designed to be comfortable to hold despite its size. The camera sits flush with the smooth back of the device, with the fingerprint scanner now below the camera, making it easier to use.

The phone continues the design philosophy of the S8 range, with the screen stretching all the way to the aluminum edges with a strong build quality. Users can get the S9 Plus in Midnight Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple, allowing you choose whichever one matches your style. 

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Performance

The S9 Plus includes one of the best processors in a smartphone ever, meaning you can run apps, games, and streaming faster than ever before. Whatever you use your phone for, you’ll be able to snap between apps without any hesitation, making the S9 Plus ideal for those who use a lot of apps on the go.

Music fans will love the new dual-speaker system, giving better sound to your music, films and TV shows. This Dolby Atmos surround sound systems makes the S9 Plus into a true multimedia device, perfect for those who watch TV on the go.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Features & OS

This means you can search Google from the home screen, use Google Docs and other apps and buy content on the Google Play Store.

How much is the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus?

The S9 Plus is a premium, brand new smartphone, meaning it demands a high price. Buying the phone outright from Samsung will cost you nearly £870, making it a big proposition for most buyers. The vast majority will be better off getting the S9 Plus via a Pay Monthly contract, which will allow you to pay for the phone, minutes, calls and data in one monthly payment. The price of this will generally vary depending on the amount of data you take.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Our verdict

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus manages to improve on the excellent S8 line whilst also retaining what everyone loved about it. The display remains one of the best on the market while the performance and camera take the phone to new heights in terms of phablet devices.
