Aussie model Galaxy S9
Arrived quickly, brand new sealed Australian model phone. Works perfectly as expected. The price was good, and I think best price for Aussie model.

Great phone!
Upgraded from an S8/64 GB. Been very happy with this phone. Got it second-hand on Gumtree and it hasn't skipped a beat. Love the huge 256GB storage space.
Got lots of apps installed, so am now thinking about upgrading to the S10 for extra speed.
Highly recommend this phone.
Purchased in January 2020 at Gumtree.

THE CURVED SCREEN if this phone had a FLAT screen would be a FIVE stars phone Only reason I'm not returning is I want the 258gb internal storage, camera, RAM and fast CPU, If you gonna get this phone and you watch a lot of movies, games etc, get a phone with a FLAT screen. The curved screen has NO ADVANTAGES and it's something I only tolerate because of the phones other advantages. Would I recommend it? Yes, but only the 258gb internal storage version The disadvantage is you have to be willing to tolerate a curved screen As someone said, curves is good on a woman not on a smart phone. Samsung : make phones with a FLAT SCREEN Edit update : After 6 months of using this phone it really is a fantastic phone. Beautiful design, fast, great speaker sound, beautiful screen, fantastic camera, wow what a great phone I've adjusted to the curved screen was annoying in the beginning and I've gotten used to it now, Its a 4.5 phone, if a flat screen would be a FIVE STAR phone, Overall I love this phonePurchased in June 2020 for A$570.00.

Great phone
Has been a great phone. Was very over priced though at $1200. Only had a minor issue with it which I fixed easily enough and was a software glitch. Had no other problems with it at all. Love the lilac colour. I've had it almost 2 years and was going to upgrade but think I'll just keep using it now. Great battery life, fast charging and I have a Samsung led cover which works great with this phone.

Brilliant for the price
I bought the phone for my son who's a vehicle mech. He uses it for getting vehicle information off the net as well as calling parts suppliers. It has been excellent for that as the speed and screen size are perfect for the job. Because of the environment in which it is used we got the hardened glass and case and that has been perfect as well. The camera is used to document vehicle issues and to suport reports and has worked well for that task. Overall the S9a nd case has been perfect for our need and has surpassed our expectations.

A really useful phone that can do practically everything. Cheap for what it is, and good with battery life.
Can be used for anything. Fairly cheap, apps run smoothly. Good battery life and works with most additions, such as phone pens and airpods. Fun and useful. Makes a great gift.

Samsung Galaxy 9
I upgraded from a Galaxy 8 to the 9 and suitably impressed with the phone. I use the phone out in the country on the Telstra network. The camera on the S9 is impressive and has been able to capture images in low light.

Great phone. Great colour. Apps are super fast with no running issues so far. Camera is very clear and takes great photos and videos with no blurring even at night. Apps run very fast with no crashing or freezing. Phone runs well even when close to capacity without slowing down. Phone also has tbe ability to take an sd card upto 128gb for plenty of storage for all those photos and precious memories. Easy to use for everything from social media to email to just taking basic notes or even using for a shopping list. Battery life is also great even...Read more

Best phone i own from Samsung
Been a samsung user for years. I'm in brand repping business and this phone is perfect to use if you dont have DSLR for capturing photos. There is an option where you can blur background photo with some cool effects.

The perfect mix of
I've been using this smartphone for over a year and cannot fault it. Screen size is optimal, and the display is durable and well designed. I use my smartphone all day long on a daily basis for both work and play, and find apps run smoothly and battery life is fantastic. Android is a very user friendly system and Samsung are both high quality and value for money. I would recommend to anyone. Photo quality is exceptional and the phone in general is a pleasure to use.

The shape is thin and long, allowing for one hand operation. The colour of the screen is vivid, responsive. The photo quality is great too. I love the slow motion video.

Questions & Answers
Damoasked
Is there a big difference between the international and Australia version of this phone? Kogan and elsewhere sell them for around $730 to $750 which is very cheap. Kogan do have a disclaimer saying that international models may not have some features such as Samsung Pay etc.
3 answers
I do not know the asnwer to your question. I paid around $1000 for this phone
Thanks Val for replying. How long ago did you purchase it? With the S10 out now retailers have dropped the price of the S9 dramatically, but Samsung Australia still has them price expensively at $999 for the 64GB model.
Samsung AUSamsung
Hi Damo, international devices differ from the local Australian models through parts and software, as they are fitted, programmed and optimised for the country of purchase. Our service centres here in Australia are not equipped with the necessary parts and/or software to cater for international models.
If you do have any issues with the device, it is best to get in contact with the country of purchase to receive a remedy. You can find out more information via the below link:

I've just updated to an S9 - is there some way of showing that I have a message or missed a phone call? If I don't hear a message come in there is no indication on the screen like there was on all my other phones - they used to show a small number in the corner of the app on the screen
2 answers
Check in setting if you have the notifications set on, they might not be, I get all the notifications from missed calls and texts but i also went through all the settings and changed them all to how I like them.
PhilSamsung
Hi there, thanks for your question!
There are a few ways you can check if you have missed calls, messages or notifications.
Firstly, if you have your Always On feature enabled you will see notification icons below the time.
(Please note if you have Battery Saver on Always On gets disabled as well as the LED indicator on the top left of the screen).
Check Settings > Notifications > Enable 'App Icon Badges' > Click into App Icon Badges and make sure under 'Badge Style' Show with number is enabled.
Then below that there is a 'Show notifications' feature which if you turn on, you can press & hold onto an app, and it'll give you a small notification preview. (Please check through the list of apps in the first page to see if the right apps are enabled).
Check Settings > Display > Enable LED indicator
Hope this helps! And remember, if Battery Saver is turned on, most of your notifications indicators will be disabled to save battery.
