I've had the s9 since it was released and I was never disappointed. Now I finally get to hold the S21 Ultra soon. S9 was the first Samsung phone I had after I finally got to leave Apple huehueh
Couldn't agree more. I have been using my S9 since 2018, aside from the deteriorating battery health, everything is great. No lag at all even after almost 4 years.
People ask for change but when they get it they not satisfied, s9 not a huge upgrade, it's like perfect more complete galaxy s8. For the same price basically, you can't ask Samsung to be more generous
Douglas Walker Yeah everyone expecting some revolutionary 100% display phone but truth is its just a perfected S8. They cant expect something crazy every year
From where? I still see obnoxiously high price on Samsung official site of India. I was hoping to ditch my LG G6 and go to S9, price has come down to humanly Rs. 23k
3.5mm *jack* is here USB type C is here sim tray with expandable sD card is here and camera with variable aperture is here this is Samsung Galaxy S9 $ S9+
Daniel Kalumbwe it is stupid for companies to ever compromise any of these fields. There is no reason why a phone cannot have any and/or all them in an excellent product
Saw so many videos from other tech channels but frankly, I was waiting for this guy to say something about the S9. Always honest. You never get anything that isn’t true/honest with this guy. We all love ya and support ya Lew! I’m editing this comment an hour later because Lew commented and it’ll probably appear near the top in the comments section. I needed some help peeps! Has anyone owned a Samsung product before? I have the iPhone 7+ and it’s starting to degrade slowly. I’m not sure whether to buy the S9 or the iPhone 8. Kinda feel biased towards the iPhone because I’ve never had a Samsung product before. I’m not sure whether to buy the S9 or not. People say Samsung phones slow down over time and they don’t last as long as Apple products. Can someone help me out please? Thanks.
RetroLegend that’s just sad. Wireless is the future buddy. This is like saying “I’m in a rural area. I love my candles over that lightbulbs you have” Tech should move you forward. Not backward nor should it make you stop at one point.
I finally got the S9 one year later with One UI and I am really loving it. Upgraded from S6 so not that big of a change from other people but damn, the S9 is so so better. Top notch phone👌
s9 is google pixel 2... with better screen, better design, headphone jack, better camera. removable storage and wireless charging. s9 has features that android will adapt 2 years from now.. For updates think of pixel users as guinea pigs. why so skeptical?? It seems you are favoring an older, slower phone with lesser feature on the same price point. What's wrong with your logic??
Down the line, pixel’s gonna be better with the fast updates and the best version of android. Samsung experience tend to slow down the galaxies over time, also the pixel camera is the best, I use an iPhone and i still feel it’s the best. Google does better software optimisation and what not, and I believe that’s what makes the experience more enjoyable. About headphone jacks, accept it or not Samsung’s gonna ditch it anyway down the line. It’s a good phone nonetheless but can’t quite keep up with the brilliant software and camera in the Pixel. The hardware is good too, the display issue is way overblown and it’s fixed anyway now.
Gambit WTF 😂 Google owns Android which is the same operating system Samsung phones run on. Google pixel is great because it gets updates first, and has a great camera because of the better software optimization. Btw, I prefer Samsung phones because of their design and headphone jack.
As of now I'm in the middle with the s9, I currently have the s8 and for me I don't see it as a major difference. Besides stereo speaker and super slow mode. Camera may be slightly better. The s9 is most likely the phone that everyone wanted physically wise by consumers(fingerprint). But is it worth it to switch from the s8 to the s9? No, if you have a good functioning phone with no issues physical,internal, or software wise. This is not much of an upgrade. Does it suck? No, by all means this phone is a good phone basically there for anyone with the older s series or other phones of people who wants a switch. To me this is just a miss, but am excited to see what Samsung will unveil for the note 9 and possibly the "x"
Yes if you have an old phone that is substantially has an outdated hardware or as a first phone, no point wasting money on something thats not going to change how you use your phone everyday such as UA-cam, Google or Facebook.
VOiD My thoughts exactly. Most people upgrade every 2 years. Samsung works around this. They reuse a design for 2 years because they know most people buy phones every 2 years. S6 users bought the S8. The hope is S7 users buy the S9. Etc. Apple did the same thing for awhile but the iphone 7 goofed things up not to mention the 8
TheIronHunter yeah iPhone goofed up especially with the 7 to the 8 from a aluminum casing to glass. But with basically same features. I went from the s6 edge+ to s8.
VOiD I'm going from the LG G6 to the s9+. Yeah my Phone is only a year old but LG made a big mistake using the 821 chip. Now it seems they forgot about this phone and have now turned focus to the v30. Who knows when I'll get a oreo update so I rather get something new and won't look at at LG until they get it together. I'm looking forward to the s9+ when preorders start. Tmobile is known to send you the phone way ahead of time so hopefully I get it 7-8 days before launch date.
If it were running stock Android, you'd be right. Having skins on an OS is ridiculous at this point in civilization and there's no need for it, and Bixby is a joke. It comes with it's own button - HAlarious.
akul madan It isn't. Wireless is not even close to wired quality. Especially if you have a couple of other signals around, the wireless headphones are gonna either lose some quality (which is still not as good as wired) or you're gonna experience nanosecond loses (they might not seem important, but for people who develop for example or for people who edit videos it can be a big deal since the audio has to be synced with the video). So yeah, wired is still king and it's gonna stay like this for a while.
I don't get what you think about value for money, the S9 has more features for about the same cash, Pixels doesn't come with ear buds inside the box. The galaxy S9 has the best Screen quality, SD card expansion, headphone jack, better water protection, wireless charging... Pixels are overpriced...
Not even about the same cash, it's actually CHEAPER than S8, if you already have an S8, then I'd say you're pretty good since it's only been an year since you've gotten that phone so having it for a while longer wouldn't be too bad. But if you're upgrading from something lets say an S6, S7 or any other relatively old phone, then the S9 is definitely worth its price.
+Hav T. imo Samsung didn't really take any major steps with the S9 because they're probably holding back a lot of their technology for the Galaxy S10 (or SX, X etc) to make it a huge step forward for their series, and also a revamp to their phone model and design, which I sincerely hope isn't something completely gimmicky (such as the iPhone X Notch). But we'll just have to wait and see what happens as we get closer to the S10 rumors.
Mythical on that occasion im thinking they're makingir bendable screen or underscreen built fingerprint. And some other features. 🤔 Samsung SX sound like a notch bigger than regular S lol. Samsung X directs away from the S model, its a whole new line. (I hope so) samsung XI, XII etc. Time for new model Line with X etc and close the S model line
I've been researching new phones for over a month now and my research keeps bringing me back to the S9+. I have to replace my old LG Stylo phone which is just plain slow. I'm guessing an upgrade to the s9+ would be tremendous for me. This video goes over the important features of the phone and you did a great job with it. In fact the more I watch videos from unbox therapy the more I realize how great a job you guys do showing the important features on each product and doing it in an entertaining way. Thanks for doing what you do.
Had mine for 5 Months upgraded out of a great S7. Great phone Samsung didn't disappoint.. EDIT: Speaker is great! Doly Atmos Surround is simply awesome.
Mosbah Amdjed Well not everyone removes fingerprint scanner.. Apple does It to promote their FACE ID..just like they removed headphone Jack for their earpods.
Vivo apex , showcased at MWC is a prototype phone which has a 98% screen to body ratio and the whole bottom half of the screen is a fingerprint reader how fucking cool is that .
My teacher has a charging station and she has a wirless charger plugged up to it most kids in my class have an iphone 6 or 7 when I FORGOT my charger I asked could I use the wirless on she said yea and all the iphone kids said it wouldent work cause my phone was old and don't have wirless charging but boy was there some salty faces after I hit 100%
It's supposed to release this year, but limited run in small territory. Most likely gonna stay is Korea. Next year's note hopefully will have it if it's successful
Thank God they still include the headphone jack despite the push towards "headphone jacks are obsolete, bluetooth is the future" crap. Options & choices is still the best approach when it comes to products.
j 140000 no ever knows what happened to that phone. It got removed from existence and the note line shifted back one year, coincidentally aligning with the S series.
How can you not recommend the S9? You said you used the S8 extensively, so you would obviously recommend that and the S9 is the same price as the out going model, but has many improvements and therefor a better phone. Why are you being a tight arse on loving this phone?? No matter, cos I love it. :-)
He just said that it's basically the same phone with some adjustments, but he has to actually have the phone for a while and really test it out before he can say whether or not he can really say if it's worth it or not. He literally just got it lmao
You can't blame him man 😅 I mean.....the only good feature it has compared to S8 is the dual stereo speakers 😅 The new camera features are pretty much useless 😅
Hailsoup S9 improved A LOT over the S8, not ''adjusted" this means the S9 is a perfected S8 with an even better camera, speakers, power efficiency, much improved Bixby, finger sensor location, hardware, and even audio DAC etc.
Why do we keep sacrificing hardware & software for camera quality? Any phone today has a good enough camera for me. Focus more on whats important! Even these reviews are focused almost entirely on the damn camera!
Pravin Ramana Actually they pretty much sacrificed everything for the camera 😂 The only true better feature S9 has that makes it better than S8 is the dual stereo speakers 😅 The other camera extra things are useless on daily basis 😅
I bought the s8+ because of those curved edges.i said it and I will say it again.there are no more slow smartphones,the cameras are great on any flagship and what is left???design brothers and Samsung exceeds at doing beautiful smartphones
AAO 786 I am sorry but the Iphone X is absolutely ugly because of the notch thingy on the top, and many people, even apple users agree with that. Prefer samsung's curved seamless display by miles.
Lew ur the bomb! Love the channel. I have a S9+ and it's not just the aesthetics of the phone but the software. I had an S8+ and upgraded way worth it imo.
Nah. I'd even prefer my $200 phone over this. My phone has 5100mAh battery while staying relatively thin, it isn't bloated, it's snappier than the S8 (I tested it) and sure, it doesn't have as good cpu but I really don't notice a difference. I wouldn't call it a perfect phone, decent maybe.
All these people saying you don't need headphone jack. Would you buy a car with only 2 seats when it can have 4 just because you aren't using them right now?
Exactly, I don't get why some company's think its "cool" and "trendy" to make people have to use an adapter for a feature that's been on smartphones since the beginning.
This video brought to you by google😎. The s9 is miles better than the google pixel my friend, the headphone jack alone is worth it. I had the s8, now getting is 9, why? Becsuase is finally a perfect smart phone, with that dual speakers is all i needed, and that camera, and that 960fps slomo that you can pin to the lock screen is awesome it be great that i wake my phone and see my kid doing something awesome on my lock screen, and then unlock my phone.
The Samsung S9+ is a beast together with the DJI OSMO Mobile!! I've made a video sample of a cinematic sequence on my channel. The quiality of this device is insane!!!
And that's what's stopping me from getting an Android phone lack of updates. I'd like to get the nexus line which I had before I switched the iphone however the pixel is ugly and the new one doesn't even have features the iphone X has. So I'm going to keep my iphone X for 3 years like I did my Iphone 6 Plus.
NovaDoll my bestie has an X I have a pixel 2 he's always cribbing so yeah..... features are aplenty in pixel but they are very subtle it's the small things that add up to the experience
This is the biggest reason I don't buy Samsung phones. Every new release, the older models are pretty much forgotten about. The Galaxy S7 is not even 2 years old!
Really still very happy with my S7. I need the finger print sensor in the front. Camera is great; phone is great. I don't want a notch or pill hole. Will wait until the under screen camera comes out then I'll jump in and get whatever version that is.
That most likely won't happen it'll cause a blur if it's under a screen maybe go for a popup or slide or flip camera phone but an in screen smartphone just won't happen
I got this and it is absolutely bad ass. The best phone I have ever used, practical, beautiful and awesome in every way. Get the LED cover, it's just as amazing.
jeez these youtube reviewers and their hard ons for the pixel phone. I just don't get it. They would take an older device with a slower processor, worse camera, no wireless charging, no headphone jack, no expandable memory, less ram, same price,etc over the new samsung phone just for the 'pure android' experience. whatever
Chris worse camera ? Have you used a new Samsung phones front camera ? It's the same shit as the S7. Gtfoooooooooutta here. I bought a pixel 2xl and I miss my s8+ so much. But the camera on the pixel 2xl keeps me from going back
I've said it before, bottom line is what ever sound you play on the S9 phones you'll never hear it the way you're supposed to because the top speaker was designed to handle high frequencies, and the bottom mids and lows. Imagine watching a movie or listening to music where specific sounds should be heard through either the left or right channel that sound will be different on these phones because in order to have true stereo both speakers have to be full ranged (all frequencies). It will be very noticeable when listening to anything with surround sound. What makes it even worse is one speaker is facing away from your ears. That's why when you compare the speakers to other phones it might SOUND clearer and crisper because the high frequency speaker is the one facing you. There are youtube videos that play only static noise and if you cover each speaker in turn you'll hear the difference...it's like having computer speakers or headphones with one side highs and the other side mids and lows and declaring how great they sound! I'm not saying the phones don't sound good, all i'm saying is all the bragging Samsung puts out there about AKG tuned and spending an entire year PERFECTING the audio etc. is all advertising gimmicks to make the consumer feel they're going to be treated to a premium audio experience which gives you the illusion it's worth the high price. Phones like the Axon 7 has amazing audio with dual front facing full range speakers and Dolby Atmos and that phone was released in May 2016!
Not even a mention of new CPUs and GPUs and how it performs compared to it's predecessor? That alone could justify the purchase of the S9s over the similarily priced (but technically weaker) Pixel phones.
nice; that's a cool feature that I didn't know existed until I read your comment. Might explain the difference in the brief sound test between the s8 and s9 on this video. Would've also liked to have heard about any UI (touchwiz) tweaks. for an 8 minute video, I think some important features were unnecessarily omitted.
I'm watching on a s5 lol. I don't give a fuck about phones or social media, my money goes on fitness, calisthenics, food, my girl and our kids and motocross. Mobile phones can get fucked for all I care lmao
Recently bought my new Samsung Galaxy S9, previous had S3 (which works even now), then S5 (also works). All phones have not disappointed me and I am satisfied with all phone services.

Got a S9 today after using my S4 for 5 years. Poor wallet though

It's worth it though. You'll have a great phone for years to come you don't need to upgrade until at least 5 years minimum
Still is a good phone?
wtf are you me!! I did the same thing haha
thats exactly what im thinking about doing. the s4 had lasted me half a decade now...
Two of my favorite Jacks on one show
I've had the s9 since it was released and I was never disappointed. Now I finally get to hold the S21 Ultra soon. S9 was the first Samsung phone I had after I finally got to leave Apple huehueh
@Jamie Brennan same, the battery on my phone slowly died out, due to me charging it all night. Sadly. I loved the s9
Couldn't agree more. I have been using my S9 since 2018, aside from the deteriorating battery health, everything is great. No lag at all even after almost 4 years.

Nice

Adam Davies let us know!

Douglas Walker Yeah everyone expecting some revolutionary 100% display phone but truth is its just a perfected S8. They cant expect something crazy every year
It's like Austin Evans said, It's evolution, not revolution.
The s10 or sX will be better just wait
Yes it's a refined s8 and s8 is almost a perfect phone so the s9 is perfect in all aspects.
Douglas Walker Its just like the S7 is a perfected version of the S6.
I watching this after s9 plus has become half the price
Sherly very beautyful that means I’m finally gonna upgrade from a google pixel to the s9+ :)
Me too, getting it this month!!
From where? I still see obnoxiously high price on Samsung official site of India.
I was hoping to ditch my LG G6 and go to S9, price has come down to humanly Rs. 23k
They should put the Infrared sensor on the S9 like the S6 had... I miss the peel remote.. lol i used to turn off TV's in public xD
LaughingClown17 I hate peel remote . Shit popped up ads on my HTC One m9 even when it was closed !
Same I used the remote all the time

akul madan It isn't. Wireless is not even close to wired quality. Especially if you have a couple of other signals around, the wireless headphones are gonna either lose some quality (which is still not as good as wired) or you're gonna experience nanosecond loses (they might not seem important, but for people who develop for example or for people who edit videos it can be a big deal since the audio has to be synced with the video). So yeah, wired is still king and it's gonna stay like this for a while.
I don't get what you think about value for money, the S9 has more features for about the same cash, Pixels doesn't come with ear buds inside the box. The galaxy S9 has the best Screen quality, SD card expansion, headphone jack, better water protection, wireless charging... Pixels are overpriced...
Not even about the same cash, it's actually CHEAPER than S8, if you already have an S8, then I'd say you're pretty good since it's only been an year since you've gotten that phone so having it for a while longer wouldn't be too bad. But if you're upgrading from something lets say an S6, S7 or any other relatively old phone, then the S9 is definitely worth its price.
Rafael Lima still not a major difference to S8 but a huge more innovative than pixel shit
+Hav T. imo Samsung didn't really take any major steps with the S9 because they're probably holding back a lot of their technology for the Galaxy S10 (or SX, X etc) to make it a huge step forward for their series, and also a revamp to their phone model and design, which I sincerely hope isn't something completely gimmicky (such as the iPhone X Notch). But we'll just have to wait and see what happens as we get closer to the S10 rumors.
Mythical on that occasion im thinking they're makingir bendable screen or underscreen built fingerprint. And some other features.
🤔 Samsung SX sound like a notch bigger than regular S lol. Samsung X directs away from the S model, its a whole new line. (I hope so) samsung XI, XII etc.
Time for new model Line with X etc and close the S model line
Hav T. I have the s8. I have an iPhone 8. I will not upgrade too 9 or iPhone 10. It would be a waist.
Im only getting the S9+ only because im still using the S5 lol
Update: I got the S9plus and its fucking awesome!
Juan Diaz same hahah but i will not buy it right away i think
Same here s5...but just got s8 +
Juan Diaz same upgrade here
I'm not laughing too hard, so am I! I gotta hurry and get something new quick.
Same here.. Haha. My S5 still working well..
I've been researching new phones for over a month now and my research keeps bringing me back to the S9+. I have to replace my old LG Stylo phone which is just plain slow. I'm guessing an upgrade to the s9+ would be tremendous for me.
This video goes over the important features of the phone and you did a great job with it. In fact the more I watch videos from unbox therapy the more I realize how great a job you guys do showing the important features on each product and doing it in an entertaining way. Thanks for doing what you do.
Unboxing by Jack
We neeeed to talk with jack
Unboxing Jack
Thanks for the like❤
I'll stick with my S8+.. Not a big upgrade..
Adam Pina same here
Adam Pina No complaints here
Same here. Sticking with my s8 for now.will probably get the note 9 or oneplus 6 later this year
same here man
s8 user, planning to change to ipx in summer
Damn $840 for S9+ on T-Mobile that's a good price!
Vegito Blue it’s actually not, it just seems like a good price because you can compare it to the X
Deep Thought fuck apple
It's amazing how high our smartphone price tolerance went
Just get an iPhone 8 plus
Project Baby I agree with u! 🖕🍎
Had mine for 5 Months upgraded out of a great S7. Great phone Samsung didn't disappoint..
EDIT: Speaker is great! Doly Atmos Surround is simply awesome.
How's the battery life?
SOT??
we gotta wait on the Lew's seal of approval...
who cares???
Glorious 60fps people who want to purchase a fone worth the price
You can't see for yourself???
Ugandan Knuckles iphone 8 has that too
Rick Cs dude his name is Glorious 60fps *facepalm* 😔🌴
Now Samsung understands
Where to place fingerprint scanner..
Ankur Joshi no. They don't. It's useless on the back. Lose the fucking edge bullshit and put a fingerprint power button in there...
Ankur Joshi at leadt it have a fingerprint scaner 😐
Mosbah Amdjed
Well not everyone removes fingerprint scanner..
Apple does It to promote their FACE ID..just like they removed headphone Jack for their earpods.
Vivo apex , showcased at MWC is a prototype phone which has a 98% screen to body ratio and the whole bottom half of the screen is a fingerprint reader how fucking cool is that .
Ankur Joshi I'm left handed so I'm ok with the placement of it for the note 8
Best time to buy s2 it will be cheap
Good call on the new camo skin. Just got one for my 5t
sad part is.. comment is edited and it still spells cheap wrong.
hell yeah XD

In a few months or so most likely. They take a long time for some reason
Probably a couple weeks, UA-cam isn't that fast ;)
Is that your boyfriend in your profile picture?
First video with actual Jack behind the camera?
Matan Ben Moshe I
lol also please show us his face
His face was shown in his 'reveal' video titled "Jack" check it out, it's awesome.
Deltarious I know I watched it, I meant that this is the first video where Lew turns the camera around and there's a Jack behind the side camera.
My teacher has a charging station and she has a wirless charger plugged up to it most kids in my class have an iphone 6 or 7 when I FORGOT my charger I asked could I use the wirless on she said yea and all the iphone kids said it wouldent work cause my phone was old and don't have wirless charging but boy was there some salty faces after I hit 100%
Catioi Cat This never happened.
Even a s5 can wireless charge too, silly iPhone 😁
Unbox Therapy I started watching your videos lately but let me tell you u make absolutely fanstastic
Now let's be hype at
"SAMSUNG GALAXY X" :)
Av3nn Gaming YEEEEEEEEEEEES I have sooooo much hype for that phone we talk like 999999 percent more than just the s9..
Av3nn Gaming not probably going to be called samsung X
I really hope they don't call it that
Samsung Z+
It's supposed to release this year, but limited run in small territory. Most likely gonna stay is Korea. Next year's note hopefully will have it if it's successful

Why am I watching this..... I can't even afford it....
hey its DK sameeeeeee lmao
You can get it in installment plan at at&t
Giovany Ramirez lol I ain’t got not time for no monthly installments
Kaylorn Joseph true 😂
Preach it
Is it worth upgrading to the galaxy s9+? I have the lg G3 for about 3 years now.
FireWolf yes or get note 9 when is realised and you have big hands
I don't think so because soon the galaxy x will come out eveantulally and i hear it is supposed to be 100 screen
My lg g3s mother board broke. I have had photos on in since 2015. Rip that piece of shit phone. Upgrade before your fucks you over
Nisacorn 21 100 screen??
Brian C sucks? Sounds like a fanboy.. not looking with open eyes
Although very comparable to the Pixel 2, there is one thing that puts this phone in another league for me...It has a headphone jack!
Thank God they still include the headphone jack despite the push towards "headphone jacks are obsolete, bluetooth is the future" crap.
Options & choices is still the best approach when it comes to products.
Don't forget the SD card slot! Also missing from Pixel..
Oh, totally missed that. Damn :D
That's why I can't get the Pixel 2. I have a mix of Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, AKG headphones that don't use bluetooth and sound so damn good.
Doesn’t bother me too much, long as they include a USB C to 3.5, or lightning to 3.5 for Apple.
Samsung knew the maths, they didn't wanted to skip no 9 so they dropped S9
GALAXY Z HYPE
Gagan Galaxy 100 = H = Hype?
Last Breath 100 = C smh
j 140000 no ever knows what happened to that phone. It got removed from existence and the note line shifted back one year, coincidentally aligning with the S series.
Galaxy X.
Slow motion is awesomly awesome
Zahid Gill trash
Tech Guy Too bad the S9 is superior in every other aspect
im sitting here with my s3
Still got the S4.
Wow
Joshua Pachuca still got the s9+ :(
@@esaulmendoza5418 yeah dude same still got the S9 im lagging so far behind really want the note 9
same, gonna get this one now tho
I will Switch from s7to s9+ 😊
Dragonite same
Dragonite you will do a great job. Don’t forget the note is also coming out in September
Same but I'm still paying off my s7 edge. 😐
Still rocking my s7 edge and it will remain this way until this beast dies haha
Dragonite Congrats.
It's like an ultra S8 version
How can you not recommend the S9? You said you used the S8 extensively, so you would obviously recommend that and the S9 is the same price as the out going model, but has many improvements and therefor a better phone. Why are you being a tight arse on loving this phone?? No matter, cos I love it. :-)
He just said that it's basically the same phone with some adjustments, but he has to actually have the phone for a while and really test it out before he can say whether or not he can really say if it's worth it or not. He literally just got it lmao
You can't blame him man 😅 I mean.....the only good feature it has compared to S8 is the dual stereo speakers 😅 The new camera features are pretty much useless 😅
Hailsoup iphone is always the same design though
Gamebox1900 yeah, and I honestly don't get that either. I don't want the same design every time. Maybe that's why I switch phones all the time.
Hailsoup S9 improved A LOT over the S8, not ''adjusted" this means the S9 is a perfected S8 with an even better camera, speakers, power efficiency, much improved Bixby, finger sensor location, hardware, and even audio DAC etc.
Galaxy s9 facial recognition is way faster than iPhone X
Giving props to galaxy s9
Makes my iPhone X run slow next to it
But it's not as secure as iPhone X's one!!
@@sourjya0877 But with intelligence scan it scans your irises and face making it as secure
Chris Boi stupid ass the galaxy lost to the iPhone in terms of security because the s9 was easier to trick while the iPhone wasn’t able to be tricked
Osman Milian harder to trick*
Osman_03 why u copy my name
Why do we keep sacrificing hardware & software for camera quality? Any phone today has a good enough camera for me. Focus more on whats important! Even these reviews are focused almost entirely on the damn camera!
Dylan Glossip the reviews are focused on the camera because Samsung’s slogan for the S9 is all about the camera
It has bind blowing hardware. Snapdragon 845 first time seen in a smartphone, 6 gigs of RAM. What else do you want?
Cake.
Tech Geek too bad we can't have the Exynos...
Pravin Ramana Actually they pretty much sacrificed everything for the camera 😂 The only true better feature S9 has that makes it better than S8 is the dual stereo speakers 😅 The other camera extra things are useless on daily basis 😅
*Omg jack is not just a camera!*
did you not see the video, 'JACK' ? he reveled his face!
Ronald M. Sarker i know he revealed him im trying to show the reaction of those who didnt see the video of the reveal
YES... his a man too...
SYNRG P4ndar yeah jack is not just a camera but a camera with a man behind it
Just realized I wasn't subscribed. Kinda weirded out as to how or why. But its okay. I'm subscribed now.
The headphone jack is alive!
*THANK YOU SAMSUNG!!*
I have a S7 and I have not yet see a phone that made me say mmmm I want it...
MJ Krugell maybe note 9 will
MJ Krugell GALAXY X!!
I think the S8 or 9 is definitely worth the upgrade from the 7
MJ Krugell I feel ya.
The S7 is so great
I bought the s8+ because of those curved edges.i said it and I will say it again.there are no more slow smartphones,the cameras are great on any flagship and what is left???design brothers and Samsung exceeds at doing beautiful smartphones
this man deserves a pin because he just tells the truth
Sorry, but the iPhone X has a better design, display, camera and processors than Samsung.
AAO 786 I am sorry but the Iphone X is absolutely ugly because of the notch thingy on the top, and many people, even apple users agree with that. Prefer samsung's curved seamless display by miles.
AAO 786 the display that iPhone x has is actually manufactured by Samsung lol
AAO 786 Apple's lcd, camera's and processors are developed by Samsung and obviously they don't give their best ones.
Lew ur the bomb! Love the channel. I have a S9+ and it's not just the aesthetics of the phone but the software. I had an S8+ and upgraded way worth it imo.
Samsung - Apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple,apple
Apple. - WHAT!
Samsung - Headphone jack
The Gamer oh noo, the S9 has a headphone jack, what am i gonna do now? I don’t need no headphone jack anyway and this joke is old asf
Almost Original Joke. i haven't seen it.
I have a headphone jack and I don't use it. I use Bluetooth headphones
Don’t need that old technology anyway peasants
wireless all day!
It's literally almost the perfect smartphone, for a reasonable same price as the s8
"Reasonable"
Nah. I'd even prefer my $200 phone over this. My phone has 5100mAh battery while staying relatively thin, it isn't bloated, it's snappier than the S8 (I tested it) and sure, it doesn't have as good cpu but I really don't notice a difference. I wouldn't call it a perfect phone, decent maybe.
being very subjective here with 'reasonable price'
Ufuk XiYiZi Lol it is not as expensive as apple shit
EyeSlackX22 its literally 50 less then apple s iphone x. Samsung is expensive as fuck
Funny how this guy kept calling the samsung s8 OLD , while 90% of us here are watching on some 2016 samsung phone
Pegasus Yep, S7 EDGE RIGHT HERE BABY AND STILL GOING HELLA STRONG WOOOOHOOOOO! !! 📞📞📞
Samsung corby here still strong wohooo
Pegasus 2013 for me.....
Pegasus 2016 phones aren't old either
Yea watching it on s7 edge😂🤘
You know what? i've downloaded most of your video then convert it into audio and listened to it while work. Now that's the real therapy.
My Galaxy S original still works to this day.
you should upgrade it though
I do have a 2nd upgraded phone, I'm just saying that the old one still works, makes it 11 years old I think, not sure.
Damn yeah I still have mine. The screen has gone to total and utter shit now. I have an iPhone 7+ now. Gonna upgrade to an iPhone 11 or maybe HTC U12.
Damn bro! It's a dinosaur now. Lol
It probably has less tracking in it then these new phones lol
All these people saying you don't need headphone jack. Would you buy a car with only 2 seats when it can have 4 just because you aren't using them right now?
Sprowk I bought a an old Hyundai Santa Fe with no back seat installed. Got a rear seat the next week. So yes. Ps iPhones are gay
Exactly, I don't get why some company's think its "cool" and "trendy" to make people have to use an adapter for a feature that's been on smartphones since the beginning.
Just buy wireless seats
That's a terrible analogy
maybe in most europe and america you dont need jack
but in my place and lot of other place, we need those jack to connect it with speaker or car audio
SLOW MO Flame was awesome
Mahaveer U
*It produces better sorround sound audio from both the ear piece and the bottom speaker + Dolby atom sound enhancement 🖤*
This video brought to you by google😎. The s9 is miles better than the google pixel my friend, the headphone jack alone is worth it. I had the s8, now getting is 9, why? Becsuase is finally a perfect smart phone, with that dual speakers is all i needed, and that camera, and that 960fps slomo that you can pin to the lock screen is awesome it be great that i wake my phone and see my kid doing something awesome on my lock screen, and then unlock my phone.
The Samsung S9+ is a beast together with the DJI OSMO Mobile!!
I've made a video sample of a cinematic sequence on my channel. The quiality of this device is insane!!!
That headphone jack is beautiful.
Black Friday today... Looks like a good opportunity to upgrade my S6 edge
Juan D. Gómez M. Did you get one?
Man they told you don't need s8 if you have s7, and now lew says its same 😩 man I'm stucked with s7 without even having oreo update...
And that's what's stopping me from getting an Android phone lack of updates. I'd like to get the nexus line which I had before I switched the iphone however the pixel is ugly and the new one doesn't even have features the iphone X has. So I'm going to keep my iphone X for 3 years like I did my Iphone 6 Plus.
NovaDoll my bestie has an X I have a pixel 2 he's always cribbing so yeah..... features are aplenty in pixel but they are very subtle it's the small things that add up to the experience
Me too 😕
This is the biggest reason I don't buy Samsung phones. Every new release, the older models are pretty much forgotten about. The Galaxy S7 is not even 2 years old!
s7 is getting the oreo update
Upgrading to the s9+ from the s6 edge+ so all new stuff for me haha
I'm upgrading to the S9+ from the S7. A step up for me too
S5 for me so all these are a super update new to me
S4 to S9+, huge update for me.....
Toxic Gaming Makes 2 of us. Can't wait
Upgrading from an iPhone 6 jailbroken to s9👍🏼
Really still very happy with my S7. I need the finger print sensor in the front. Camera is great; phone is great. I don't want a notch or pill hole. Will wait until the under screen camera comes out then I'll jump in and get whatever version that is.
That most likely won't happen it'll cause a blur if it's under a screen maybe go for a popup or slide or flip camera phone but an in screen smartphone just won't happen
@@splat6617 in screen camera is possible but until late 2022 or possibly 2023
I got this and it is absolutely bad ass. The best phone I have ever used, practical, beautiful and awesome in every way. Get the LED cover, it's just as amazing.
watching at 2020 with my s9
still on s7 edge
Same.
Still better than my iPhone
32bit gaming That’s The note 7
CZECK FunnyCrazyVids because you have an iPhone 👍🏼
True, that's why I want to go back to normal OS and normal phone.
jeez these youtube reviewers and their hard ons for the pixel phone. I just don't get it. They would take an older device with a slower processor, worse camera, no wireless charging, no headphone jack, no expandable memory, less ram, same price,etc over the new samsung phone just for the 'pure android' experience. whatever
Chris worse camera ? Have you used a new Samsung phones front camera ? It's the same shit as the S7. Gtfoooooooooutta here. I bought a pixel 2xl and I miss my s8+ so much. But the camera on the pixel 2xl keeps me from going back
while i agree with everything else, pixel 2's camera is still better than the s9.
Yeah slower processor. Too bad it performs better.
Well said man! Totally agree
Although I disagree with your opinion on the front camera. Looks incredible compared to my s7.
Your videos are awesome. I love smartphones and tech and your videos are great
Who else is still using a galaxy s9 in 2020 😎
Just bought one
I've said it before, bottom line is what ever sound you play on the S9 phones you'll never hear it the way you're supposed to because the top speaker was designed to handle high frequencies, and the bottom mids and lows. Imagine watching a movie or listening to music where specific sounds should be heard through either the left or right channel that sound will be different on these phones because in order to have true stereo both speakers have to be full ranged (all frequencies). It will be very noticeable when listening to anything with surround sound. What makes it even worse is one speaker is facing away from your ears. That's why when you compare the speakers to other phones it might SOUND clearer and crisper because the high frequency speaker is the one facing you.
There are youtube videos that play only static noise and if you cover each speaker in turn you'll hear the difference...it's like having computer speakers or headphones with one side highs and the other side mids and lows and declaring how great they sound! I'm not saying the phones don't sound good, all i'm saying is all the bragging Samsung puts out there about AKG tuned and spending an entire year PERFECTING the audio etc. is all advertising gimmicks to make the consumer feel they're going to be treated to a premium audio experience which gives you the illusion it's worth the high price. Phones like the Axon 7 has amazing audio with dual front facing full range speakers and Dolby Atmos and that phone was released in May 2016!
R u a google fan ????? Man s9 + is amazing . I have it in My room
Somitra Dubay s9 is good, but not much of an upgrade over the s8
Somitra Dubay what your mean by you have s9 in your room ._. You can explain that thing in many other ways
Fakhir YT when you try to correct other ppl's grammar but your own grammar is shit.
dat boi we both should shut our mouth because you have a edited comment
Fakhir YT *an
Upgraded today from a Nexus 6P and I'm in love makes my old phone look 100 years old.
Did he mention the 'Dolby Atmos' sound system?
Edit: I didn't know the real name of the sound system & wrote something else.
The MS He didnt mention it but yea...it is in the phone.
Mohammad M.E. What phone u have?
Blue Stuff But Mkbhd mentioned it in his video
It's called Dolby Atmos
The MS how does surround sound work on a phone?
Not even a mention of new CPUs and GPUs and how it performs compared to it's predecessor? That alone could justify the purchase of the S9s over the similarily priced (but technically weaker) Pixel phones.
nice; that's a cool feature that I didn't know existed until I read your comment. Might explain the difference in the brief sound test between the s8 and s9 on this video. Would've also liked to have heard about any UI (touchwiz) tweaks. for an 8 minute video, I think some important features were unnecessarily omitted.
Who watching on s8
Kylo Ren I'm watching on the s7😁
I'm watching on a s5 lol. I don't give a fuck about phones or social media, my money goes on fitness, calisthenics, food, my girl and our kids and motocross. Mobile phones can get fucked for all I care lmao
Kylo Ren s8+
Me! Im pretty confident that the s9+ will blow the pixel out of the water in terms of the camera, in every single way, especially low light
S7
Recently bought my new Samsung Galaxy S9, previous had S3 (which works even now), then S5 (also works). All phones have not disappointed me and I am satisfied with all phone services.
