Is The Samsung Galaxy S9+ STILL WORTH IT in 2020? An Average Users' Review
At the time the Samsung Galaxy S9+ came out in Early 2018, it boasted the Best Smartphone Camera, Best Display, and Fastest Processor, Best Graphics and Fastest Download Speeds of any smartphone on the market. While this is obviously no longer true today as this phone has since been replaced twice with the Galaxy S10 in 2019, and more recently, the Galaxy S20 earlier this year. But, despite the fact this phone is a couple generations behind now, the question is, has it aged well, and is it worth buying in 2020? Especially since it did in fact get updated to the latest Android version, still has lots of cool and unique features that many new iPhones and competing Android phones STILL don't have, it has a headphone jack, 4K 60 fps video recording, Samsung DeX capability which can turn your phone into a Mini PC if connected to another PC or a Monitor, it's compatible with Google's Stadia Cloud Gaming Service that allows you to play Console and PC games RIGHT ON YOUR PHONE, and you can now buy one of these phones unlocked for as little as $300 now!!! Not to mention, this phone does have a 1440p Super AMOLED HDR Infinity display, and it also has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa Core CPU which while a couple years old now, definitely still has pretty beefy sounding specs by today's standards. (4 cores clocked at 2.8 GHz and 4 clocked at 1.7)
So IS this phone still indeed worth buying in 2020!?! And is it still good at handling CPU and GPU intensive tasks such as Productivity, Gaming, Loading Apps, etc. in 2020? Well, you've come to the right place, cause that's what we're here to find out! ;)
Yes, I'm well aware this video is pretty long as I decided to give a tour of the phone's software as Samsung's Android skin OneUI is not only exclusive to their products, but each Samsung Galaxy phone interface is modified and tailored to each specific phone model that has it.
