Glass back is I believe very similar construction to S8+, looks nice, just don't drop it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kendoka15:
It is one sexy phone. I would've loved a jet black version (screw the fingerprints) but Canadian carriers only have the grey and purple models. Still a very goods looking phone. I love how featureless the front looks compared to my previous phones
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] philiptibbs:
I love the look of this phone. It's very classy !
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] PGHammer:
I agree; black works a treat(in the US, Midnight Black is the default for Unlocked). What I would like to find is a clear case for the S9+, so I can still use the edge and other features through the case (has anyone found one?).
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] GZA1337:
best looking phone ever. no notch (no hole, lol) ! and the edges are beautiful. cant imagine to have a phone without those edges.

Very solid and heavy feeling. Not cheap at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] SWEagle:
Came from s7 edge which really good build quality wise. But this feels even better... Eavy, sturdy, good quality overall. I feel that if I drop it it will survive well..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] xchasa:
Definitely an upgrade from the S8 Plus.

Very fluid and the camera...... wow.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] androidvivs:
The quality of S9 plus is good. It feels premium.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kristian93:
My S9+ feels great as well, except the fact that the metal frame is a bit edgy when I glide my finger to the end of the glass. Doesn't have that feel like the S8 where the glass and the metal frame feel as one.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] calyco:
Definitely notice improvement in the build quality, hard to explain but feels more solid. Also speed wise I notice it is snappier as well. Upgrade from s8 to s9+ worth it to me, especially since I got full trade back value for what I paid for s8!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] avers:
I used my Oneplus 5T for 5 months without any case or protector and there was no any single mark on the screen.

Now I have a Galaxy S9+ and after 1 day use there is a deep scratch on the screen.

The phone is bloody expensive, but the quality is even worse year by year.

I hope that I can sell it quickly.

It doesn't worth a fkn penny.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Virgo_Guy:
"Great build quality". Would have been greater if ceramic was used.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] malimt:
Unfortunately, I know exactly what you mean... My brother just got the s9+ and he used it only for two days and then basically just handed it to me for free lol... I haven't gotten around to using it much but my brother told me that he hated it. Why? Well apparently, he experienced something rather similar... After only two days of usage he managed to scratch the display with regular use. Only two days... Brand New phone... Odd isn't it? -- The scratches are not that heavy or visible but still there and can be clearly seen in sunlight or a well lit area.

Me and my brother prefer the natural smooth feel of the screen so we don't use any screen protectors on our devices... However, we do have insurance just to be safe.

Ceramic would have been a nice touch. I certainly enjoy the Mi Mix devices and the build quality! I own the Mi Mix 1&2 they're both as solid as ever. I know a lot of people don't care for ceramic though and many prefer to have plastic or glass ... Not quite sure why but to each it's own ...

Feels really good in the hand, even with a case. Top screen can be a bit hard to reach but I knew what I was getting into and love the design.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] abuleen:
In fact, S8/+ feel much better in the hand

S9/+ has sharper edges and it is not too good

You can refer to phonarena comparison between the 9s and the 8s

As a samsung fan I do not like this move from samsung even if it was to reduce screen cracks or strengthen the Aluminum
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Outatime67:
I agree with the comment above about it being a step backward from the S8+ in feel. The edges are a bit sharp (not "cut you" sharp but you can feel them) but that's just more motivation to use a case. It is so far my only complaint, other than it being virtually impossible to get super-slo-mo to work exactly when you want it to.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] thecarp1975:
I'm coming from the Note 8 and I love how easier it is for me to handle it with one hand. You wouldn't think 4mm in height, 1mm in width and sliver thinner would make a difference, but in my case it does. The hardest adjustment for me has been the placement of the fingerprint scanner. I kept reaching up by the flash for it, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] hendrickchan:
Build quality feels really good in hand, but struggling to use it with one hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Shroomz:
It's a solid device. Moving FROM s7 edge, I find s9+ a bit heavy and bulky. Well, getting used to the beast. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Rob_Mobile:
Feels solid.

I wish that the FP sensor was a bit further away from the camera.

A bit heavy after a couple of hours of web surfing.

Got to be careful not to grab the B-Button when picking it up, or hit it while using the camera.

Gear VR is a reasonable weight, and worthwhile.

Included earphones could be more comfortable, considering their over $100 value.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] laurie9300:
I'm coming from an s7, and I'm off to using the home button to orient the phone in the dark. With it gone I struggle to get it the right way round, I'm sure I'll get used to it though.....
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] kendoka15:
Coming from the S6 which was a lot less comfortable to hold than the S7, my S9+ feels really good in my normal sized hands. I can still one hand almost everything I do which was quite a surprise, even without the one hand mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] diizy:
im coming from s8 plus and yeah i was a little bit worried about the sharp edges, they was far more confy on my s8 plus than on the s9 plus, but anyways i will put case on it
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nudawa:
Im coming from s7 edge. Hesitated about the FP position but my s7edge got smashed by a car so it was a bit more easy decision to make.

Phone feels solid, hate the Bixby button, wish it could be mapped to another function without openning Bixby first.

Intelligent Scan works quite well so I would miss the convinient FP on Home Button too much.

I'm In Vietnam, the phone shipped with a flex plastic clear cover inside the box. Nice.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] lopri:
I am giving 1 star for the ergonomics. It is incredibly slippery and difficult to hold compared to the S8/S8+. It is shocking because S8/S8+ was perhaps the most comfortable phones to hold for their sizes. The S9+'s frame is not flush with the back and front glasses which makes you feel like you are holding a wire. And the new matte coating makes even that middle frame more slippery. Overall the phone is incredibly uncomforatable to hold.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] mrnovanova:
I don't know if anyone brought it up but I haven't had a single rejected fingerprint scan since I got the phone. It use to be a daily occurrence on my note 8, s8 plus, s7 edge etc...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] cdoublejj:
currently on an OPX, i haven't really used the S9+ (still need to setup) but, i get the feeling using one handed means my finger may crush the pop socket. 1 handed use is absolutely paramount in today's world.

Really bright and vivid screen. Super shiny though so at times it can be hard to see the screen because of the reflections.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Sabertooth:
No viewing issues till date as the screen does crank up very high outdoors.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] denja12:
Outdoor visibility is great especially with Samsung their contrast that changes when it notices your in a bright lit area
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] s3ns3lol:
These days i'm on the beach and the max brightness kicks in for ~2min from standby then it returns to normal brightness and i struggle to see on the screen. Thats in direct sunlight. I dont know why and how to enable to max when in sunlight.its very disappointing. Its from the heat? I use auto brightness and max brightness kicks in for a couple of min but then it dims and i cant use it . When i adjust the bar it says optimised for sun visibility. But it clearly isnt. All this in normal use.browsing ,some photos,whatsapp...

So for me its disapointing. This is when i need the max brightness most and it let me down
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] nathanjdias:
Been using the phone for over a year now in a Tropical Country and even in direct sunlight I have absolutely no issues with the brightness. The phone automatically cranks the display upto it's full potential when it senses a bright environment. Really can't expect it to be any better.

Hard to judge accuracy, I think they are quite Punchy since that's the way samsung likes it and for me it looks great. Maybe 4-stars since reality is not always as vivid as the s9+ makes it out to be.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] lopri:
Colors are more accurate than they were in the S8. But for some reason they do not appear as full/filled, though. I still give 5 stars for the color accuracy. It is as good as it gets on a mobile display.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] VICosPhi:
Whites on my S8+ are much brighter and less "dirty". White on my S9+ looks a lot grayish.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Nine9•:
It's kind of personal preference but I like saturated color with cooler white balance. My previous note8 and present s9+ kind of dull screen n way too yellowish. I had to tune down the red,green to lowest & blue to the highest to make the white less yellowish. Though it doesn't help that much.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] lopri:
I would not call it dirty because the screen uniformity is actually better on the S9+. The best I can describe what you describe is if whites on the S8 is half & half, whites on the S9+ is skim milk.

Loss of brightness is a trade-off that Samsung can not avoid if they want to calibrate colors more accurately. That I do not mind - just have to compensate it by raising the brightness slider a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Sabertooth:
accuratare colours till black crush crushes those accuracies.

I would like to see the s8+ next to the s9+ to see of there's any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] coolguy949:
Mine has a slight pink hue at an angle on my 9+. Not sure if I should exchange considering the rest of the device is ok. I have the black crush issue but it seems that might be a software setting.

I proudly bought it yesterday and today I put it for sale. I was chatting on wtp and realized at some point that I hadnt got any notifications in a long time. Then I realized that there was a small exclamation mark next to the wifi symbol. Actually I was also taking a dump upstairs and it happened again. And downstairs, and in the kitchen and on the sofa. Every time I had to stop wifi and turn it back on again. I did not pay all that money to do that. I reset everything, network settings and all, but nothing changed. Worked for a while and then boom, exclamation mark and internet stopped. The two iphone x in the house did not even blink in the meantime, all worked perfectly. I dont think there is a workaround for this. Therefore, Note9 maybe.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] fredrikreiman:

Went into the T-Mobile Store and saw the display unit.

I played YouTube videos comparing the sound next to my iPhone X. The introduction of stereo speakers is finally here for Galaxy users!!!

But quickly, I realized the X was louder , BUT! the Galaxy sounded more RICH and tuned correctly.

The iPhone X speakers were so loud that it shakes the device like bass.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] Galaxo60:
I just think is a huge improvement, and moreover, speakers sound really nice.

I never buy any phone with no dual speakers, and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with these ones.

I'm coming from Axon 7, Mate 9 Pro, Pixel 2 XL and last one was U11+, and I can say these speakers are in pair with all of those phones, because this will be my first Samsung ever.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Real Life Review] puiradu2009:
I wasn't too confident at first when I found out that it will use the ear speaker as the second audio source but indeed a very good job made by Samsung here. Loud and clear. No distortions and a nice active bass effect.
