Conclusion

Hence, these are few of the pros and cons of Samsung Galaxy S9. The scene here is similar to the Apple users, whoever has been the fan of Samsung devices will have very opinions bound to their love for Samsung and not exactly talking about the drawbacks. People need to change their taste to actually feel what the other smartphone manufacturers are offering at some even cheaper and affordable price.

The Samsung devices have been great in terms of display, their features provided has been quite impressive but their rebranding of older devices into newer ones just by making little changes in specs and “name” of the smartphone wont work forever. As the consumers grow their taste for smartphones at cheaper cost, the market for Samsung too might go down with their hefty price tags.

As a conclusion, Samsung S9 is great device is you see from the “Camera” perspective with the variable aperture, otherwise there are devices which provide some compromised specs but advanced ones at cheaper prices. Its up to  you to make the decision by looking at the pros and cons of the Samsung Galaxy S9 whether or not it deserves an update.
