Samsung Galaxy S9+ Review: Plus finally means something | Pocketnow

[@basilmango9980]

Who's watching this video on their Samsung Galaxy S9 plus

[@chrisy367]

Basil Mango right here

[@davidreeves6241]

Nothing today

[@editorxv7496]

Mine

[@aaronpaulsanchez9325]

Me! I got the s9 plus 128gb variant and its black! Awesome phone

[@cristina-hs2ub]

me

[@colefellner5718]

What's the trend with putting phones face down on rocks and sidewalks and just rough surfaces makes me cringe.....

[@Rafsan_Habib]

Release same design phones for 4 years straight..then its okay...samsung does it once..nd they say its not worth it!

[@ishkaranbrar313]

Rafsan Habib Your comment just earned you my respect!

[@darthdarthbinkss]

You can't fix an overall newish design that's pretty much perfect other than that fingerprint sensor anyway

[@sudiptokl483]

The design is still the best in the market now. Waiting eagerly for my s9+ trading in my Note8

[@geov0070]

its the overall performance not the overall looks. Its like getting a fancy soccer boots, but one that is hard and heavy.Thats what you dont want. You want something that can be a long time use.

[@robo0122]

Rafsan Habib real Shit

[@mcharlton67]

I wish reviewers would highlight the performance disparity between the US and international models. The snapdragon variant has always been inferior to the exynos model. I’m not talking about any geek bench but day to day usage. The exynos lags less, overheats less, and is more battery efficient.

[@MrJay197409]

MarkC538 . Why I always wait and get the exynos version.

[@MsMRkv]

MarkC538 the exynos version has always been shit for heavy gaming.

[@Prince-fr2lr]

Mr. Carroll Ware No Longer Going To Feed The Trolls doesn't the exynos version have issue in the US with lte and carrier issues? And get updates later than the snapdragon?

[@cDekKk]

Gaming is always been better on the Snapdragon than the Exynos my friend.

[@Tigerkem]

Prince Brown I believe the Exynos only downside is that CDMA carriers such as Verizon doesn't support it due to Qualcomm's patent. Otherwise you shouldn't have any problems on he other non-CDMA carriers and you're probably more likely to get an update on a European/International device rather than a carrier locked device in the U.S.

[@ishkaranbrar313]

Agree or not , No other company can make as innovative and perfect smartphones as samsung makes!

[@nahbicris]

Ishkaran Brar see the Vivo Apex that is a real innovation

[@SuperNovaHeights_]

Ishkaran Brar Sorry but so can Apple

[@KramSacul]

Um no. lol

[@sajmirlatifi2309]

Cristobal Ardon That is concept.I am sure Samsung could do that too but if you can’t release to consumers that is basically nothing.

[@nahbicris]

Sajmir Latifi nope is no a concept it was confirmed m.androidcentral.com/vivo-apex-confirmed-public-release-production-begin-mid-2018

[@robwightman6357]

My exynos s8 is 7 month old now and its not slowed one bit so the s9 must be an absolute beast

[@wellidkidk169]

Is your S8 laggy? In my country we have exynos too , I’m thinking of buying an S9 + . I hate lag tho and I’m keeping my S9 for about 2 years if I buy it . So please tell me is it laggy ? Is it really fast ?

[@robwightman6357]

first200 Aj no its not laggy that could change but i am a heavy user and i can safely say its the best experience I've had with a phone I'm going to wait until 2019 and get the s10

[@siloPIRATE]

Come back in 5 months and let’s see if it lags. If it’s like my S4 was then it will start hiccoughing within 18 - 24 months

[@dominicnikon6276]

My 2 year old S7 still has no lag in my experience so the s9 must be very fast

[@charmckay1702]

Loving my decision to go from S7 edge to S9 it is just everything I want and need

[@charmckay1702]

H Money I am loving this learning more each day . Everything I want

[@charmckay1702]

H Money I got the lilac purple the blue is really nice I was tempted with that black is very sleek

[@joshbam]

@H Money i also uograded my s7 to s9 and went with the coral blue, it's really awesome

[@Amulya316]

Same here upgraded from S7Edge to S9+!

[@rihannonselimoski4668]

I preferred my s7 edge than my s8+, my s7 never cracked or scratched if i accidentally dropped it. 3 months into having my s8+ dropped it with a Samsung cover on it and cracked straight away. 🙄 hoping the s9+ is better when i recieve it next week!

[@sierramalella]

I've had this phone for 2 years now and I still love it since the day I got it! Great phone and no need to upgrade.

[@falkovon9135]

I really can't see how Samsung can upgrade this design anymore, it's so perfect as it is, the Note 9 will have beneath screen fingerprint scanner, so after that it's gonna be tough to innovate further

[@TheBullshit64]

Battery tech, my friend

[@brandonwimberly3173]

ChroLLO LuCiLFer the note 9 has been confirmed to not have the fingerprint imbedded in the screen

[@ro4lol]

And they never did

[@iga4184]

Of all the reviews i've seen on S9+, yours was the best I came across. The narration and transition was on point, you conveyed your opinions about the phone very smoothly and easy.

[@vernonleewarren280]

I want Samsung to bring back the IR blaster. Please KZbin reviewers please tell Samsung bring back the IR blaster please

[@michaellim4165]

Vernon Warren I approve of this. S6 that I had was awesome changing channels at restaurants to see my channels. It was great.

[@luisinhoens90]

Agreed. I loved the IR blaster on my former Note 4. I have missed that feature ever since I upgraded

[@Mike-ls9hi]

Right I still use my old note 3 as my TV remote at home.

[@gregwilliams6146]

I have a lgv20 for a backup and for 2 other things. Music with the 4xdac system and the ir blaster. Yea I wish the S series had them to.

[@chagoriver7159]

the iris scanner doesnt work when you are wearing sunglasses?... sigh, you dont say

[@kgeyedoc]

Mine does on my note 8

[@DroneWolfMedia]

I'm looking forward to this device which should be in my mailbox by Monday. I'm upgrading from the S8+ which I've been super happy with for the past year. Thanks for the review! 👍

[@benlg9125]

I upgraded from the S8 and it feels much faster with the new cpu. With all the minor upgrades already mentioned, I feel it was definitely worth it. Also nothing bad about the iris scanner in my experience, it works in pitch black for me

[@RicardoRamos551]

They just dumbed down the S9 to make the S9+ look better. Seems like they're learning from Apple. You mean to tell me they have mid-range phones with 6Gb of RAM across Asia and they put 4Gb in their top of the line model? Incredible.

[@jackyyo1998]

Ricardo Ramos because they don't really need that much ram? Asia phone need that much cus their optimisation is bad

[@jackyyo1998]

Also the S9+ does have 6gb ram and apps never reload

[@RicardoRamos551]

jacky yo First of all, you just contradicted yourself. Second, I'm talking about Samsung phones in Asia, they make them, why wouldn't they be optimised? There also was a S8+ with 6Gb of RAM only available in some countries so don't give me that bullshit.

[@jackyyo1998]

Ricardo Ramos stop getting so triggered😂😂😂. I'm pretty sure all S9+ has 6gb of ram. And I did not contradict my self. Just because the S9+ has 6 GB of ram doesn't mean it really needs 6gb of ram in daily or even most hardcore use. The S9 shows that the same software runs perfectly on 4gb of ram. So did the s8, S7, s6. 4 GB of ram is more than enough for phones at this moment. Unless the apps starts to use more ram 6gb unnecessary

[@RicardoRamos551]

jacky yo Who said some S9+ don't have 6Gb of RAM? Do you know how to read? Unless you already have an S9, I doubt you can claim the same software runs flawlessly on both, and the software that comes out of the box is hardly a good benchmark for how a phone performs, since in most cases, it's the fastest it'll ever be. Samsung phones need all the RAM they can get. Even if it might not be needed for most users, it's a future proof spec that was purposely taken away from the S9 to make the S9+ look better.

[@lilypad5161]

I had a HTC One M9 and upgraded to a S9+.I am really happy to see that technology is evolving,in the future we may even have phones that can be used as computers.

[@cowboifunk]

I'm coming off an S6 and I'm deciding between the S9+ and a Pixel 2 XL. I'm leaning towards the Galaxy. While running stock android is a wish come true for me the lack of headphone jack, expandable storage and screen quality is pushing me away from it. It looks like it has a better camera but the S9's camera doesnt seem far behind

[@michaellim4165]

ONEPUNCHMAN Galaxy camera has WAY Way better low light photos compared to the pixel 2xl. And also it is on part with the pixel on day light photos. If you want an all around error go with the Galaxy. Also, use Samsung Pay trumps everything. I mean seriously. Once you use it , you will never go back to other payment system. It's seriously that good.

[@cowboifunk]

Michael Lim I'll just disable the bixby button and install a google launcher and most of my issues are solved

[@iamthanos554]

ONEPUNCHMAN ever heard of lineage OS? Software (stock Android) shouldn't affect ur buying decision, root it install stock Android. Personally i hate stock Android, i love TouchWiz

[@cowboifunk]

Michael Gregory I haven't heard of it but I'll check it out once I get a new phone. I use nova launcher at the moment and I'm fine with it

[@kendokaaa]

Funnily enough, at least here in my part of Canada, every shop I go to works with Android Pay (now Google Pay) so I've never had a reason to use Samsung Pay

[@917arkano]

Coral blue s9+ should be coming next week to my door . Love your reviews . Buen trabajo amigo saludos de este Colombiano.

[@Christian23724]

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE HEADPHONE JACK!

[@william6909]

And here we are! Comparing animated emote icons on phones is a thing. Welcome to 2018.

[@prateekmishra7318]

If only the aperture had continuous change rather than two discreet values (i.e. F/1.5 and F/2.4).The fact that 1.5 kicks in only below 100 lux is a huge bummer, since it implies most of the times it's using f/2.4

[@raphaelnwalozie1941]

Prateek Mishra you can manually change it in pro mood

[@chrisak49]

Exactly. Most of the time it’s 2.4 which is even worse than S8 at 1.7

[@chrisak49]

raphael nwalozie right...cause everyone has time to change into pro mode when a photo opportunity comes up. Eye rolls

[@prateekmishra7318]

Most of the times the shots that need to be taken are instantaneous, thus not allowing the time to switch to pro mode and change the aperture.

[@svetlanavivalova6543]

chrisak49 You don't need a Ph.D. to change the setting, though I can imagine you would find it difficult. I don't think you know much about cameras, 2.4 is better in normal light, 1.5 is for low light. It's actually very logical and a good idea, OEM's only went from 1.8 to 1.7 to 1.6 etc. to improve low light, but it creates issues with dynamic range. Having variable solves the problems.

[@sagarmaniraut7490]

best reviews ever..i have watched almost all reviews videosof s9+ but this is the one i was willing to see..thank you for the review.

[@krypticmac]

i dont get it it comes with oreo, how was it suppose to come with android p since it just went in to preview build 20 hours ago...

[@williamcool4910]

Dude, that emoji totally looks like you. I'm impressed

[@Raja995mh33]

more differences on the plus model are not good in my eyes... You pay so much money for the normal SO and you think you will get a FLAGSHIP but no and the only reason for this is because you don't want a phablet but a smaller smartphone... The SO has managed that way better... "plus" only should mean more display and battery and not more features...

[@ishkaranbrar313]

Raja Mag Dich Differences are display , battery , telephoto lens , that's it

[@rehaankhan1260]

Ishkaran Brar The biggest one, at least for me, is the lesser RAM. 4GB in 2018 is budget territory. Samsung's UI needs 6 GB at least. That's why the S8/S8+ slowed down in a few months while the Note 8 is still going strong. That extra 2 gigs is a really big deal!!

[@ishkaranbrar313]

Rehaan Khan Yeah u r right , maybe Samsung is trying play apple game by giving less ram and reduce expenditure of production Btw I also have a samsung A8 2016 and it has 4 GB ram and it works quite smooth , I have not really noticed any major lag

[@rmendoza265]

Ikr wasn't it jaime himself who praised the s8+ for having a bigger screen and not making it different from s8. Now in this video he's saying he likes that the plus is the better option

[@derekdrummond7544]

The S8+ Was around £120 more than the S8 last year and only had a bigger screen and battery. This year the price difference is about the same but you get more with the plus , battery ,ram ,camera ,screen etc. So in real terms it's better value compared to last year..

[@Shadow7758]

The only think it should mean is that it’s bigger, that’s it. They’re taking the choice out of the customers hands by giving the plus a better spec even though some people want a smaller phone

[@Thanksforthefish]

Yay finally someone noticing the good side of Bixby!

[@Pocketnow]

I actually love Bixby. Lots of automation ^JR

[@Thanksforthefish]

Even coming from the s7 edge to the note 8, it has helped me find so many settings relocated as well. Keep up the good work!

[@charliecantu5811]

what exactly is bixby?

[@Thanksforthefish]

Charlie cantu It's a voice assistant that has the primary goal to let you control your phone with your voice. It's also good in finding settings without having to scroll endlessly. Also it does automation, like JR said, means you can set it to execute many chain commands with one voice command. The web search is only secondary

[@giagem9087]

I have been using s9+ for almost a month now. It is truly the most amazing phone I have ever used and I have used many! The camera is unbelievable and absolutely no lags. Also the recording quality, I recorded lectures and when I play it back, it is so clear as if I was sitting in class. Best money ever spent!

[@kimyungill2149]

Almost bought the Mate 20 Pro. I canceled one day before shipment. I guess I dodged a bullet after reading about Greenscreengate. After doing some research I went for the s9+. Solid software and hardware. 20% cheaper. Im getting it in a few days. From s7 to s9+. Lets go team Samsung 🤷🏽‍♂️😎

[@hugo7229]

Still happy with it? Or do you recommend me going for the S10?

Thanks dude! ^JR

[@naszuan9803]

I’m thinking of moving from iphone to S9+. But my only concern for now is whether there’ll be lagging after 1 or 2 years of usage. I cant afford to keep changing phone every year tho

[@jaran5950]

Naszuan using an S7 right now with no lag at all. Runs like a beast. But still going to upgrade just because I want to lol

[@firstnamelastname9631]

Nice video. When I was about to dislike it, it started growing on me. Good production values, it was nice to watch & pleasant to the ear. It could have been half as long or even a third: too much time spend on presentation, stating the obvious and some technical data that sound clever but meant nothing to my layman's ears. I found what I was looking for in the last couple of minutes. You made the likes nevertheless

[@vcostor]

galaxy phones don't age well because samsung messes with them in the updates. Around december, S series phones start to slow down after each up date and continue to do so until June, then they will speed back up.

[@jeremiahdavis8571]

vcostor as we all know now, Apple does the same

[@vcostor]

yes.

[@reallyryan_]

No that's apple they ruin iPhones with updates not Samsung. Do your research correctly.

Getting my standard S9 on monday and I cant wait. Will you guys be doing a review on that too?

[@ehm_30]

When Android P is officially released, Samsung will barely be working on Android 8.1. thats the only downside to owning a Samsung phone. I'll stick with my Pixel 2 XL. The screen doesn't bother me whatsoever.

[@pastormaldonado1906]

Samsung now has the same problem as Apple, they almost perfected the smartphone so they don’t have much to improve upon

[@aussiesparks]

Apple have plenty of things to improve upon i reckon. It feels like they are improving features people arn't interested in, at the sacrifice of great features everyone loves.

[@calvingreen7197]

sparkplugs au The only thing people are clamoring for is dark mode, and that isn’t life or death. They ticked off all the other boxes last year as the OP said...

[@aussiesparks]

Calvin Green yeah well that's ios isn't it, not hardware itself. I can think of many thing's i would want improved with ios. As for their hardware, the iphone 10 is lacking thing's i would expect from a premium flagship, but it's just my opinion. Plenty of people love it.

[@opaliittiopa]

I actually like Samsung's android skin a lot, they have many features packed in it but still it doesn't look like children's toy phone like EMUI looks like on Huawei... Stock android is sweet cuz of updates and zero bloatware but it lacks some features Samsung provides so ill stick with Samsung.

[@MrJay197409]

Exactly because the s8 and s8 plus $100 difference what a rip off for 0.4 inches. S9 and s9 plus $100 difference but not only 0.4 inches but 6 gigs and dual cameras on the plus.

[@MrJay197409]

Now if S10 they put impeded fingerprint scanner, 5g support and wishful thinking ir blaster back.

[@ZPSBestProfileName]

But the S9 should have 6GB anyway.

Getting this in the next few days. I’m coming from an iPhone 6 Plus that’s been super laggy the past year or so. Apple shot themselves in the foot by removing the headphone jack in the newer iPhones so here I am going back to android, which is something I said I’d never do again. Just hope it’s better than what it was back in 2012 lol

I HAVE A S9+ MIDNIGHT BLACK COLOR AND IT'S A HUGE FINGERPRINT COLLECTOR SO I WOULD LIKE THE S9+ TITANIUM GRAY BUT WHEN I PICKED THE TITANIUM HRAW IT WAS SHIPPED SO BUMMER

[@deviouslaw]

"plus actually means something" or "unnecessarily gimped the standard model"

[@mavricxx]

Just got the S9+ so here's what I found out: It lacks Quick Charge 3.0 and feels slow charging compared to my previous device the LG V30. The camera is good but not great, it ONLY goes to 9.1mp at 16:9 aspect ratio which is lame considering they've been at the same specs since the S6. Yes, they've improved it over time but the specs have not changed since then. The 6GB RAM has been great but I did get a few hickups during setup where it froze and had to reboot it. Now that it's setup it runs like a champ. One thing I'd like to see Samsung add would be the touch screen gestures that LG has on their devices. In particular the double tap to wake up feature. The one thing I absolutely LOVE and was the main reason I switched was the speakers. Man they sound amazing! LG really needs to get their game up when it comes to the speakers and screen. The S9+ screen is way more bright. The slow mo is a gimmick cause you can only do a few secs of recording and the 4k is as well because you can only record at 4k for only 5mins. I only shoot 1080p@60fps anyways so well see how that goes. Overall this phone definitely feels like an upgrade and I'm glad I updated cause the LG's faults were driving me nuts. But don't get me wrong that was one sexy bitch she just needs some polishing and has the capability to take down Samsung if only they took the time to make it right.

[@bob_sled]

Battery is awful when you compare it to what is possible. Why not 4500mah or 5300?

[@ussv1997]

why not another explosion???

[@bob_sled]

Sai Ulchi Xiaomi make phones with bigger batteries. Why not just have real all day battery life in every quality phone?

[@ussv1997]

yes ever heard of note 7?? they are afraid of batteries lol hang on lets wait it may improve on note 9

[@bob_sled]

Sai Ulchi it wasn't the battery size in that case that was the problem. It was bad manufacturing process. The machine producing them slightly folded the end so it would sometimes short out and explode. There is no special point at which batteries become unstable

[@ussv1997]

okay buddy lets wait for note 9 i hope they will improve

Truly enjoy S9+. It is polished and truly works perfect, after 2 months of daily use.

...Nice that Samsung finally utilized its acquisition of Harman-Kardon/AKG in late 2016, but the speaker configuration is hardly anything new (Two individually amped high and low rangers), having been introduced in 2016 on the HTC 10 and copied later in the year by the iPhone 7, with both manufacturers still using the placement on later models... Now the S9/S9+ and Asus Zenphone 6 also have this feature... Now that both Apple and Sammy have it, everyone (except maybe Pixel 3) will be sporting these speakers...

Guess nobody buys a phone anymore to call people. Hard to find videos from people talking about the sound quality of phone calls. On S9+ it sucks big time, and it is a big disappointment. The sound is muffled, metallic, distorted, looks like it passes through a tube.

[@mcharlton67]

The s9+ is still a bloated s8. It’s just this year Samsung removed features from the smaller device to justify having to models. I’m really disappointed Samsung decided to go that route.

[@calvingreen7197]

MarkC538 Eh, it’s a formula that works.

[@mcharlton67]

Calvin Green It’s that same thinking that removed the headphone jack and gave us the notch.

[@calvingreen7197]

MarkC538 Truth, but neither for me are deal breakers...for me. Only those who rely on their phones to consume content (as opposed to those with tablets or laptops) are displaying extreme levels of consternation.

[@Tigerkem]

Agreed, I don't get the point in punishing those who want a smaller device with less features.

[@Mshagy02]

MarkC538 that's so the s10 can have a major design upgrade

[@sumblegull7191]

Watching on my Samsung s9 plus.😘😍

[@KramSacul]

Such great hardware wasted with crap software.

[@UndeniedPunisher]

What game is that at 6:30 I remember a video game like that when I was younger, is this a remake?

[@SuperNovaHeights_]

You can’t watch KZbin videos in full screen, so no thanks

[@anirbanpratihar4099]

yes yo can you have to crop

[@MsMRkv]

Anirban Pratihar cropping videos is horrible as well.

[@EpicxEvolution]

I have a S8+ and I watch videos & streams 24/7. At first I did not want a S8 for that reason (cropping), but it literally is negligible. I have zero issue with it especially considering all the other benefits a longer screen provides with day to day tasks and games.

[@derekdrummond7544]

18/19x9 is the new 16x9 . Once content creators start shooting in 18x9 that issue is gone.

[@MsMRkv]

Derek Drummond but nobody is shooting videos in that ratio.

[@alexruiz5088]

That video was amazing man nice job Samsung

[@jtomtl]

Put iOS into this phone then it will be great, edit: or pure android, samsung's UI is the major reason I will stay as far as away from it, new system update took forever to push, 1 year maybe longer, IOS 11 is a unsuccessful system but it least I can receive major updates for 3 years or more..

[@thetechlibrarian]

Tom Liu ios would cripple this phone lol

[@chadmagnifici2347]

Tom Liu - iTunes suck.

[@bravestbullfighter]

iOS is designed for an iPod and not for a pocket computer.

[@GeorgeD1]

How many Samsung Galaxy S-series phones have you used in the last 3 years...? None, I would assume. Stop talking without first hand experience.

[@TheMrBitsy]

You do know you can replace the Samsung skin with exactly what you want?

[@timzy4395]

I do hope samsung improve the camera just slightly before they release it

[@alexmetalhead15]

Another $800+ lag machine from Samsung

[@alexwhitton1]

Alexis Mol-Hdz No

[@michaellim4165]

Your comment clearly shows you haven't used the latest Galaxy.

[@alexmetalhead15]

I'm a pixel guy..used to love galaxies until I realized how awful they really are....my sister has the note 8 and it's a piece of shit compared to my pixel 2 XL..

[@guesswho386]

Yeah, but has pixel 2 headphone jack.?

[@Erolanya]

No its smoot

[@leonaldobrum]

I saw this on my S9+ while my S7 Edge is here receiving the Oreo update 😊 Talk about Samsung being slow on updates is not adherent to reality - they update while maintaining stability and pleasurable usage.

[@ZJMTHUNDERWOLF]

Please do an after the buzz review on the essential phone even though the phone didn't have much Buzz. I feel like it's really improved since day one and would like to hear your thoughts.

[@lindaluette]

just got it....totally Excellent, fast, and flippin awesome Camera

[@r81365]

I would like to see an audio review of the headphone jack and does it include headphones. The Qualcomm version of this phone will get better reception and calls

[@summintra1575]

Coral blue is dope. I got it yesterday

[@TysonDBison]

In the mail on its way. Cannot wait for our phones!

[@michaellim4165]

I'm really excited to see what you have to say about Bixby.

[@aussiesparks]

Pocketnow, androidauthority and mrmobile all with s9 reviews within minutes of each other!

[@TanurjyotiBala066]

Jaimie, the way you changed your video style is good however the transitions used are very discrete as in they don't blend in as well as they used to in your previous ones. I love watching your videos even though I have no intention of buying the s9.

[@Pocketnow]

Thanks man! I’m experimenting with a few new things, and I’m still learning. Really appreciate the feedback ^JR

[@jonathanblair289]

Another great video 👌

[@yariperez1367]

I'm buying my Samsung Galaxy S9+ today. I can't wait to have it in my hand.

[@Willykamera]

I got mine yesterday and this phone is out of this world 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@herroyalsquirrelness8167]

Not gonna lie. I normally wouldn't spring for this from somethin like my S7 edge. But, I feel like it is important to keep an eye on the phones with the purpose of serving as a bridge between what I have now and what is to come.

[@MrPopular22]

Why did you completly ditch the audio reviews? No more real audio review videos and not even one word about audio quality in Smartphone reviews? That`s not nice.

[@jerrycaughron7378]

Excellent review!

[@JoostN86]

No word on the dual sim? It's standard on the S9 and the S9+ now right?

[@nahbicris]

When will be the real audio review? I want to know if it is good with headphones? Thanks
