Depth evaluation: Samsung Galaxy S9+

You may not need to read a 4000-word review article to feel that the Galaxy S9+ is a good phone. Since everybody is quick to leave behind all the jokes about Note 7, most of us would think Samsung’s mobile phones are still great. The Galaxy S8 has been awesome. Based on this, the Galaxy S9 has undergone many improvements.

The Galaxy S9+ is mainly for the improvement and improvement of the previous generation of products. This phone is not Samsung's response to the iPhone X (note series has actually played a role in many ways). In fact, for some of his own hype, Samsung may be harmed.

Before the new product launch conference in Barcelona, Samsung’s logo of “Phone Reimagined” (redefined mobile phone) did attract our attention. This is a modest exaggeration. But whether it is good or bad, we now live in this kind of The hype circle. At the same time last year, when the Infinity Display of the Galaxy S8 appeared, Samsung also claimed to redefine the mobile phone.

In fact, this giant electronics company launched the Galaxy S9, precisely shows that it is vigorously improving the flagship product. There is nothing better than the design language of mobile phones. In writing this review, I put the Galaxy S8+ and the Galaxy S9+ together on the desk. If I don't turn them over, I can't tell which one is which. If you look at it with a squint, you'll find that the border of the new phone is a little bit smaller.

After turning them over, you can better understand what your phone is like. The Galaxy S9+ has two cameras, arranged vertically - the fingerprint recognition module moves to the bottom. The company is also continuing to improve its imaging system, constantly responding to user feedback on previous generation products. People touch the camera when they touch the phone by touch, and now Samsung has fixed the issue.

No matter how Samsung promotes, the Galaxy S9 is not a brand new design. It is a further improvement to the top Android phones. Therefore, there is not much reason for most Galaxy S8 users to upgrade, but if you should change a new one, Samsung handsets are still a good choice.

Endless possibilities :

If I do not want to write something, I would recommend that you read my review of the Galaxy S8 before reading so that we can jump directly to the new content. I will write this piece of content as little as possible because in the first few paragraphs we discussed a lot about the camera. In short, before the iPhone X, Infinity Display already appeared.

As we know, it does not completely abandon the attention of the border, but this design plus Samsung's long-term pursuit of the curved screen, direct our perspective to the edge of the phone. At the press conference last week, Samsung once again publicly mocked the iPhone's "Qi Liu Hai." For Samsung's argument, it may not seem odd at the time, but then it was a little bit off. While all other handset makers are pleased to accept the "Qi Liu Hai" design trend, Apple's influence is still ubiquitous at last week's MWC.

Before some mobile phone manufacturers found a better solution to the challenges of handsets and front-facing cameras (I've been saying "no selfie", but nobody listened to me), people are concerned about either "Qi Liuhai" or the borders. Over the years, Samsung has devoted itself to the study of borders. Compared with its predecessor, the border of the Galaxy S9+ has shrunk. This difference is almost undetectable. The world’s largest mobile phone manufacturers are fiercely competing for the tiny few millimeters. Perhaps this is the ultimate goal of the mobile phone industry.

Samsung also carried out a large-scale taunt on Apple, which is an attack on the headphone jack. The iPhone gave up its headphone jack and never looked back. Perhaps it is stubborn, let Samsung's flagship phone continue to retain mobile phone interface because other mobile phone manufacturers have also gone Apple's road. When I communicated with ZTE before the MWC was opened, a representative of the company admitted that the end of the headset interface was inevitable. However, to tell the truth, can you blame Samsung's insistence? After public mocking of several generations of Apple phones, the concessions turned out to be a bit embarrassing.

Of course, this shift should not hinder the progress of the mobile phone industry. Remember that Steve Jobs once said, "No one will buy a big screen machine?" Or do you remember that Google also made fun of the headset interface? When I was holding the Galaxy S9+ in my hand last week, I still cherished this choice.
