Samsung Galaxy S9 Smartphones

The bluetooth audio is improved and works well with my Sony headphones. The phone is lighter but the screen is a lot less responsive than my s7 even with the more sensitive control toggled. The faster processor is noticeable and the battery makes it a few hours longer. I still need to carry a backup battery, however.

I am "graduating" from a Galaxy J7. My main reason for changing was to get the 64 Gb internal memory (16 just doesn't go as far as I thought it would.) So far I am liking this new phone, but it is taking some getting used to. I don't like the absence of a physical "home" button, and am still wishing it was as wide as my old phone. Also, it seems to require a much harder tap to make something happen - guess that might be something I could adjust myself??? All in all, glad I have it.

So this was an upgrade from an AT&T-branded S6, which was running on the t-mobile network. (My abandoning AT&T is another story, but a very good move overall). The S6 was reliable, but battery life was declining and I felt it was time for an upgrade. The S9 is, IMO, an improvement in every way. It is smaller, lighter, brighter, faster, and runs a newer version of the OS that will never come to my older S6. I can easily run the whole day on a charge, which I could never do in the S6,: even in it's prime. I love the ability to add an SD card and have tons of storage And I had always blamed AT&T, and later T-mobile, for the abysmal call quality on my S6; it's much better in the S9. I have to think my particular S6 wasn't the best copy Samsung made., My only hesitation on the S9 is that it appears a lot more vulnerable than the S6. I had always kept the S6 in an OtterBox, which I felt offered a good balance between protection and usability. I have the S9 in a case (not an OtterBox), but the curved edges of the display seem very exposed., Other than the obscene cost for new flagship phones - I liked it when the carrier subsidized most of the price - I love the S9.

Super fast charging. Battery does not last as long as my S7 Active but that is understandable. The fingerprint sensor works much better and i love the iris scan for security. Quick processing and you can keep lots of apps running with the 6 meg RAM. It has great sound from the speakers and still has a headphone jack for when i dont have or want to charge by BT ones. Just slap in a SIM (or 2) and go!

I have been buying Samsung phones for several years, and I have to say, this is the best one, as of yet., More than enough power, and having the ability to put a 400 Gb microSD card in it is the best thing since sliced bread. I have over 7000 songs and several hundred movies on the card, and still have room for thousands of pictures!, Highly recommend the phone!!, !!
