I believe that the phone is quite fair for price. But it seems too be awfully light. Very easy to drop without cover. Will probably be looking at Apple products Next

It's fast and has a good enough camera. The screen is good too however...it has some usability flaws
Can't use the fingerprint sensor to unlock the phone, it fails 90% of the time.
The phone app won't use the USB-C port connected headset even though voice recorder, Youtube, music apps etc all can use it perfectly.

The fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone doesn't work all the time. I have to press the side button. I was happy with my old galaxy note 5. Shouldn't upgrade it.

Not sure if it is build issue but the finger print sensor paint peel off from two months of use.
Camera has good exposure for darker scene. Focus is not as fast as my previous Sony and picture seem a bit blurry when zoom in.
Battery is another area it can do better. With only browsing internet on train/bus, i can barely get a whole day with full charge.

I dont find the curved screen user friendly and quite often I have to click several times for the apps to open. I am disappointed with the Samsung. Previously I had a Sony Experia which I loved.

First of all the camera quality does not disappoint, as are all samsung cameras it is excellent on the S9. I have found the battery doesn't last very long, I have to charge my phone every night, the button below the volume keys for Bixby is a tad annoying or just may take longer to get used to. Overall I have found the s9 To be just as good as my s7 Edge and my rather cheap OPPO.

Was told the phone is amazing...
The camera never focuses, even when using the selective focus setting, it takes the photo but always says could not focus..
The battery life is terrible, my husband gets nearly two days from his phone, i get a day if that, i have only been up a hour took it of charge and it is now down to 78% and i havent watched anything just been googling reviews on this phone, and all open apps are closed,

Dont like how the screen goes around the sides so brought a phone cover,

I wish I stayed with what I had but ohh well

Screen goes all the way to the edge. I don't like that. I kept pressing things by accident. Phone is way to slippery so had to spend 30 dollars on a cover. Bixby is a joke. Should have stuck with the s7. I loved that phone. Wonder if I can find another.

Phone is generally good. However, touch screen stopped working only a few months after I bought it, and tech support were not very helpful. Was able to backup and keep files and sent away for a replacement through Optus. Not really a fan of the curved edges, feels like it makes it more prone to damage if there isn't a case.

I hate BIXBY and do not want to use it ...but it insists upon itself ...what a waste of a butyon grrrrrrr SO ANNOYING also taking screenshots id a pain in the butt ...hard to make work and invokes BIXBY WHICH I HATE.
Lost so much functionality with camera to last model ...downgrade not upgrade ...no portrait functionality any more

Camera quality is good although i find it hard to be advertised as one of the major selling points of this phone, I would personally not buy this phone based on the Camera quality. Display is good and brightness settings (cant complain). My biggest complaint with this phone being one of the latest is that there is no IR meaning apps like tv remote do not work where as more affordable phones manage to have this feature. Also the phone boasts on being waterproof yet my speakers muffle at the slightest touch of water ...go figure.. this phone is far from living up to expectations.

The phone is as good as the price tag suggests.. but Bixby.. with a hardware button? What is this rubbish. I hope Samsung's bloatware goes in the other direction next model (or the next model I buy).
I grabbed a Gear VR for this phone (get the newer one that runs on with Note 8). Fantastic, not any really deep VR games, but it's pretty fun for a $150au add on.

Bought this recently, great camera on it, but the battery life is TERRIBLE. Samsung really stuffed this up and seems like the Exynos chip is to blame that we are stuck with in Australia. If I had the choice again would probably wait a few months and get the next gen and hold onto old phone.

Switched over from iPhone and can definitely see that there is increased flexibility and options to tailor my experience with a samsung, however, controlled as it may be, the iPhone is a simple and easy to use and beautiful platform that I have experienced more functionality and DEFINITELY more intuitive use. I could hand an iPhone to my grandma (and have), and watch her play with it and figure it out. No way she would know what to do with the samsung.

Just got my new s9 was pretty excited because of all the hype surrounding it but was a bit dissapointed some features.
The first being that you cant customize your ph contacts with anything. No personalized ringtone, msg tone, or even pic of your contact. Bummer.
Also the super slow mo feature is really annoying in that you can only use it in short bursts when recording so your video jumps from normal speed to super slow mo & back again.
If you crack the screen your looking at $500 to if get it fixed.
If these things dont bother you then it's a great phone but for me, the lack of customization was a deal breaker.

This phone does have some practical issues. With a protective screen cover the touch screen on the smooth edge is difficult to use. The other problem is lack of the home, return and screen buttons on the bottom which i had on the s6 makes it difficult for navigation. Every thing else is great but these issues lowered my over all opinion.
