Design and build

Samsung kept the same design and build on the Galaxy S9 as on the S9+. I’m talking a curved edge screen, slim top and bottom bezels. The top bezel housing a selfie camera, an iris scanner and call speaker. On the back we see a centrally placed primary camera with an LED flash beside it, fingerprint scanner and SAMSUNG branding below it. It is made of glass (corning gorilla glass 5) and aluminum frame where there is no glass. Delicate you might think? I beg to differ. But them who may be paranoid could always rock this phone with a case cover. It is IP68 certified so you need not worry about accidental drops in water.

The AMOLED technology Samsung has incorporated in this smart phone is very impressive.

I love that there is the Always On Display features on this phone to allow you view you notifications and or time without having to turn on your display. A very impressive display it is, probably the best in the market as at now (MAR 2018).
