The editors didn't like
Battery life
Bixby still kinda mediocre
Your mileage may vary on AR emojis
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
Battery life has taken a hit, Expensive, UI foibles
A very capable flagship with lots to love, but the back-step in battery performance is disappointing. The camera is easily the best on the market by a country mile, as is the display, while CPU performance is also great - however, you do pay quite a lot f...
Gorgeous design and screen, excellent camera, blazing-fast performance
Average battery life, 'Intelligent Scan' is glitchy, duplicate apps - and Bixby still needs work, Rating:
The Galaxy S9+, like its predecessor, is an excellent smartphone with a fabulous screen and great performance. It's also more power-efficient and can be charged all the way up to 100 per cent in around 80 minutes...
Gorgeous design and screen, excellent camera, blazing-fast performance
Average battery life, 'Intelligent Scan' is glitchy, duplicate apps, Bixby still needs work, Rating:
The Galaxy S9+ is undoubtedly an excellent phone and improves on the S8+ with its blazing-fast internals and variable aperture camera. However, as it's £100 more expensive than its predecessor, potential buyers might find themselves opting for last year's...
The best screen on a smartphone, Versatile dual-lens camera, Fantastic performance, Eye-catching design,
Little has changed from last year,
Samsung already had some of the best-looking, most desirable smartphones around, so the Galaxy S9+ didn't need to do much to continue the trend.The biggest improvements are the camera, the processing performance and some software refinements. But, while v...
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
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus – Battery life 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...
Good camera, Dependable, fast performance, Excellent display
Camera often takes washed out photos, Pixel 2 takes noticeably better photos, Nothing except the camera is new
The Galaxy S9 Plus is a great phone, but personally, I'm not very impressed. The changing aperture is very cool to look at, but it doesn't make a big difference. The camera can't beat our current favourite, the Pixel 2 and other aspects of the phone are t...
Not all that different to S8 Plus, AR Emoji mode is overrated, Pricey for a phone that feels too similar to last year
With the Galaxy S9, Samsung takes one of the best phones currently available (the S8 Plus) and improves upon it. Unlike last year where the Plus model simply offered a larger screen and a bigger battery, this year's larger model also gets you extra RAM a...

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
We thought the 5.8-inch Super AMOLED screen on the regular sized Samsung Galaxy S9 was superb, but here, with a huge 6.2-inches of real estate, it just looks stunning. The brightness, contrast, and definition of the panel just blew us away, and the vibran...
battery life could be better, very similar to S8design, Bixby button can't be remapped
Last year's Galaxy S8+ was slightly held back by a few annoying niggles, such as the awkward fingerprint sensor placement, all of which have been rectified in the Galaxy S9+.Samsung could certainly be accused of simply recycling last year's design, but it...
