As you can understand, this deal was an absolute bargain and while I was not intending to purchase a mobile as I had recently purchased one, but I simply couldn't resist from buying the latest flagship at 50% off! I had some reservations regarding the steep discounts and the fact that this phone had only about 30 ratings here did not help, but I took a leap of faith and boy, did it pay off so well! I am not going to dwell into the many amazing pros it has, for you can simply check out hundreds of review videos out there on You Tube. The only drawback I noticed was the sub par battery life, as it seems to run out of juice in around 11 hours.
It helps that it comes with fast charging, that fully charges the phone in around 100 minutes. Its my first big purchase during sale, and totally worth it, Midnight Black looks quite good to be honest Pros Camera - Excellent Processor - No Lag at all, tested with running 19 major apps simultaneously OS - This phone is feature loaded, excellent, UI / UX customisation at its best Display - Edge to edge display is Wow, just WOW :) Also along with fast charging and, 4 out of 5 on earphones they are quite good Cons Only thing that i didn't like about this flagship smart phone is BATTERY, It didn't even last for a full day normal use !! Why Samsung why, its almost perfect !! Almost Got this beauty for a steal during great Indian sale.
First impression is really good. Screen is something of a marvel.Best screen in any smart phone, Period!! Samsung has come long way since lag touches skin. Performance is snappy.Camera is amazing. Samsung pay is a lifesaver. Only con is battery size as it's only 3000Mah, won't feel like lasting long during initial days as we are busy exploring our new phone. But in normal usage it'll last a day. And you get a fast charger bundled out of box PS: Lilac purple doesn't look girl at all.I was little worried about that.. It's the best colour among the lot and i am happy with my choice I saw this phone at a store, it's screen was not even on and I got attracted to the black pebble like design. Then i turned the screen on and fell for this beast of a device.
I am someone who like compact phone and it had been my main criteria for buying a phone and was using iPhone SE prior to buying S9. After seeing apple kill the 4" phones and lack of innovation in compact design phones (well maybe Sony being one exception) i decided to buy a flagship with LED and wireless-charging capabilities. I did briefly thought about getting an iphone 7 or 8 but it was too expensive for what tech it was offering. Huawei mate20 pro came close but i got repelled by the notch (I love symmetry). Left with no choice I turned to Samsung devices which i originally hated because of how their performance ages with time but after looking at Galaxy S9, holding and using one, my mind was made up to get a midnight-black Galaxy S9. Sought out all the reviews and articles about the phone on web. They all echoed same things: Best display, better speaker, good camera but bad battery life and many suggesting S9+ over S9 (500mah more juice) but coming from compact phones, S9 itself felt way big of an upgrade for me so I stuck with it. After few days, I happen to find this great deal on Amazon where this seller had put up a black S9 with 64gbs for 43K INR and 2day delivery too!! I thought to myself, I will not get such a deal for sure (well until S10 is released) and went ahead and booked it.
After getting the device, out of the box, it had only 44% battery then i charged it up. after using first couple of days, the overwhelming battery inefficiency undermined all other beautiful design features, amazing screen, stereo speakers which are loud, very good camera and a HEADPHONE JACK. I actually thought of returning/exchanging the phone but kept using it. After using it a week now. I can surely say I made the right decision by buying this phone. Fast charging and wireless charging capabilities masked all the poor battery life and also i started enjoying the beastly performance, vivid colours of this super Armload screen, with the right size of the screen, it made viewing images/video and reading very comfortable. On top of all this, Samsung's edge display is a head-turned for sure. I wish I could use the phone which a case to show off the solid and neat design of the phone then it would just slide off my hands back to Korea. All in all, this is a great phone, I would recommend to all android users. I hope samsung's upcoming One UI holds up to its expectations (eagerly waiting for the night mode) keeping my fingers crossed that engineers ant Samsung try to make S9 more battery efficient with new updates.
