I got my S9 in April 2018. Watching this video on it. Five years later, it's srill running like a champ.
How's the battery? Does the phone heat up during heavy usage?
Battery SOC?
@@lelenny2904 I had mine since july 2018, battery is terrible, last approximately 2 hours sot although I replaced it 2 years ago. And it heats up uınder heavy use. Additionally camera app sluggish. Other than these, I do not have a problem. Everything works properly. No screen issue, no camera issue, no any sensor issue. I'm planning to upgrade next year.
it heats up like crazy. i remember using it while charging and i accidentally fell asleep… not a good idea, i woke up with a burnt skin
@@jomarimateo8377 put an otterbox defender on it. Wont feel much more than a little warmth
S9 user since jan 2019.
Bought a S20FE due battery issues.
S9 will be always my favourite.
Im still using mine since mid 2019.
I am convinced that phone design peaked with the S9/Note 9 gen. You had everything you could ask for in a phone. Expandable storage, headphone jack, great display, very good cameras. I could go on (im most likely biased).
The exynos version which i have is worse than the qualcomm version, but not by a whole lot. I had the chance to test both
I do wish Samsung continued software support for at least one more year but oh well.
The only manufacturer that matches the feature set of this phone nowadays is Sony. Unfortunately their phones are very expensive. Im still gonna go and save up enough money for one.
I tried custom roms and the best one i found was the pixel experience rom. Worked very well. I switched back to stock because i needed the camera to be usable.
Agree 100%. I have my S9+ and a new S23 ultra but honestly I love my S9+. IMO the difference is negligible. Under the hood and the camera well sure the Ultra wins, but every day use its not that different.
It is a gorgeous phone, I once had it before I switched to iPhone. My mother, who I gave it to, still uses it. A trustworthy, ever-steady device with a great design and still a decent enough camera. The only thing that‘s annoying is the curved screen which makes you accidentally trigger the touchscreen.
No accidental touches for me battery is only thing i wished was bigger
curved screen is what makes it looks georgeous! mine still have long battery, just use a battery optimization and it will still last 1-4 days depends on usage
I turned off gestures and control for the curved side bc it didn't do it for me
I loved my S9. I have the S21 now and its ok. But that 9 was a lovely little phone.
I think Samsung should you use the S9 series with a slight update the only thing that was missing on these phones what's 5G and and bigger batteries but overall Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus and note 9 decent from 2018/2019 to me personally I would choose the s20 ultra on the refurbished phones market it's one of the last Samsung devices the had expandable storage and security updates
Haha and it looks great with A13 one UI5 hehe i happy 2 skip around android 14 in 2023 while refrain away from S23 ultra
😅
Can we still activate 120hz with activity launcher? if not why?
Galaxy s9 and Note 9 still good phones i am using now
i have no problem while using them i dont care about software update
i still take care well of my phones and protect them
Still rocking my s9 2023
At that time I pick this s9+ over iPhone X because it has better display. At that time I think this display is the best I ever seen. But after I got iPhone 13 Pro Max, I look back to my Samsung, I figure it not amazing anymore; that’s exactly how time changes
I still use my S9+ as my daily driver, 3-4hrs screen on time is not bad for something this old with fast charging.
I think replacing the battery would extend the screentime
You need to replace the Battery.
It's crazy that S9+ still has the highest pixels of screen resolution, even a bit higher than S23 Ultra.

I recently got my S9 that was previously owned by another family member, who got it back in 2019. It still runs almost like new!
I got my s9+ just a few days ago, I bought it from my aunts, she buy this s9+ when she was working in Hongkong 2018, the series is SM-G965N Exynos version, the only question is why my S9+ didn't get any update, mine still stuck on android 8.0 also the security patch is still 2018, I've trying to update it from the phone itself but there is no update available, do I need to update it manually by Flashing with PC?
I love the design of S8 and S9 and I'm thinking about switching to S9+. I'am currently using S10 and it's good, but I LOVE how S9 look
I used my s9 + untill this month when i upgraded to the s23 +. The battery on my s9 + is definitely not up to par but i kept it as a back up just incase. Solid phone
Just upgraded to an A53 5G! Actually plan on transferring data tonight! I really like the S9 had mine for 5 years only reason I'm replacing it us because the battery is swollen and I needed to change plans anyway... my only complaint is the Bixby being built into it... I accidentally pressed that button SOOOO often!
Does dex allow people to surf and use the full web?
How is Samsung dex support
Is it really worth like it looks qhd display and a ppi over 500 ?
DEX does now work wirelessly with the S9, so it's a good cheap option for a mini desktop of media player.
Still love my Pixel 3 which basically looks like an S8 and S9 at the front and came out the same year as the S9. Still smooth as it was 4 years ago.
Pixel 3 camera is good. But display is much better in S9+
Was thinking of going with the Samsung A14, but after comparing it against the S9, ended up grabbing the S9 for 117$ usd in flawless condition
Where did u buy it
@@mushe01 I bought it from Backmarket
But the really funny thing is, they accidentally sent the wrong phone. They sent me an S10 in flawless condition 🤣. I got a S10, in flawless condition, accidentally, for 117$
I think the S10 series will last really long, because they got the android 12 upgrade. I don't see any much bigger updates for a while
Typing this using my S9+. Still works like new so I don't plan to get a new phone anytime soon. I'll run my S9+ until it dies.
I’m buying another one or trying to fix my old one this is my all time favorite phone ever no phone can top this
Just bought S9 for a cheap price. I replaced its bloated battery and now I am using it for taking videos because it can record up to 4k@60fps. Though it has some slight amoled.burn issue
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy S9 for a second phone. But in Vietnam, a lots of the GS9/9+ with Exnos variants are suffered from the green screen fault (probably caused by the flex cable along the screen failed due to the heat of the Exynos CPU).
I'm planning to buy a GS9 from Japanese market with 845CPU, but still afaird of that error 😢
?
watching this on my samsung galaxy S3 LTE docomo 2012 ✌️😁
old but gold ☺️ and running smoothly even this is super late version of samsung 😅
my friend are amazed because my phone is look like new and fresh 😁
imagine jelly bean are still alive kicking hahaha.. 2G 3G LTE, the main 8MP and selfie 2MP camera are work good condition, realistic and no filter 😅 3G of ram and 16 of rom 😁 with 2100 Li-Ion mAh removable battery 🔋😁 i know its not long lasting phone but i always brought my samsung for an emergency or extra phone ☺️ i remember this is a gift from my elder sister work in japan when im graduate high school.. i know this is a old phone but i really appreciate it and got many memories in my teenage life ☺️ so i keep it just like a treasure.. its sentimental value for me ☺️
I am still using s9 plus. Bought just month after launch
i am still two Galaxy phones s9 and note 9 still both perfect condition and dont have any problem i dont care about software update as long the phones still perfect and as long as i take care of them and waste money on new phones with less features
Had one of my friends who had a S7 since release and barely upgraded to the s22 ultra. How he kept it for that long is insane
It's not insane, it's how it's supposed to be.
People shouldn't be changing their phones every year. If you use it for what it was made for, communication, media, productivity and maybe some little gaming, you don't need to upgrade.
I baught s9 and plan on keeping it forever
I'm still using my a51 up to now with the new latest software ONe UI 5.0 update and my friends still impress of the dislay with that super amoled and they really can't believe it's just A51. Lmao
The one that spoiled us was iphone. They 2 loaded 2 throw money annually. Hahahaha.
@@user-lu8sm1ou8k same
Samsung have a different approach in S9, while iphone support dual camera, Samsung Equipped S9 with dual aperture camera lens. So the camera can perform as dual camera setup, it's really adaptive to all light condition. But unfortunately, it's not supported by Samsung anymore since they only promised gotten 2 major update and 3 security update and it got them all already, it's stuck in one UI 2.1 android 10.
But the newer one such as S21 flip 3, fold 3 And up, Samsung guarantee it supported up to 4 major Software update and 5 Security patch.
My S6 died so I got an S9 last year. Absolutely love this phone. Headphone jack, curved edges, physical fingerprint sensor on the back, no hole punch, LED notification indicator, wireless charging. Great features, a lot of which are not available on more recent phones or on budget devices.
These things are tanks I miss mine for sure.
A quarter of my screen has been compromised and it works just fine 😅
@@_Nebs wow haha, do you still daily it?
@@ThomasCollectables Not much. It's mainly used for media storage so save space on my current phone
@@_Nebs ah fair enough, good second phone. I'm still daily driving mine, love it
@@zel4737 they make micro USB earphones? Why would you use that over the headphone jack?
I used my S9 from 2020-2022 and I loved it. Then, I had to switch to an iPhone because of work. Now i need a temporary new line only for texting and calling. Would you recommend i use my S9 that I still have stored or am I better off buying a newer cheap phone for that purpose. I need advice. Thank you
For me i still have it, it work really well in games and anything you can do on a phone.
Still on the s9 standard myself, got it new had it ever since, its not the most premium by any standard but it still works great for me
I disagree about not recommending to purchase an S9 because i'm still using it and it's still quite snappy to use and still runs most games in the play store with no issues even thou i don't play much games on it and the apps work great and i even do mobile video editing on it sometimes with hardly no lag, it really is a great flagship phone that still holds up to this day!
I'd say it is a good option but when you have for 120-170 the S10e and the S10 i wouldn't go for the S9
@@DaRBLX491 trus
I second this. I've used my S9 as my daily driver now for almost four years. Still just as fast and snappy as the day I bought it
@@adammiles4330 my dads been using the same too since the day it was released
The battery is eh
Still using this beautiful piece of tech
Had a replacement from s6 active from att to this s9 on February of 2020 still using this to the date great phone only problem was that att sent me a replacement with burn on screen, not the phones fault its atts fault if they would had sent me a new device it would probably still be new.
Is nobody gonna talk about how the s9 has LDAC support snd the other phones in the series dont ?! 😳
I have my S9 since 2019. the biggest problem is the horrible battery life which is 5hr after reducing the resolution to 1080p.
Been with the s9 since it dropped. Now looking for an upgrade. It's hard to find one given it's perks (expandable storage, headphone jack.) The s20 lineup seems promising at the moment.
I agree, I have had mine since June 2018 and I'm afraid it's getting to be that time to upgrade. I love the expandable storage; why did they get rid of the ability to add an SD card to add more storage? I like the headphone jack too - not sure the reason to get rid of that.
Still using the S9+ since I bought it a year after its launch. It still works for me and I have the functions it still has: headphone jack, expandable storage, physical fingerprint reader
I'm in the same boat. I just can't find a phone that ticks all the boxes. SD card and headphone jack are a must for me, as is the FM radio. I travel a lot outside of cellphone data range and both the external storage and FM radio let me enjoy music when offline. Plus the form factor is just right. Small enough that it isn't too bulky with a proctective case. I tried another Samsung Galaxy A14 5G, cheap with a headphone jack, but it's too large and the build quality feels cheap af.
s20 is great but if you are not willing, go for the s10 or s10e, great form factor and look gorgeous with head phone jacks and msd. Oh and the s10e also has the capacitive fingerprint sensor which imo is fast asf
My S9 was such a great phone. I brought it back in early 2018 when it first launched to replace my aging S5, and I had it right up until February of 2023 when it was clear the battery was on its last legs.
Even then the phone was still very snappy and did everything I've asked it, with the exception of retaining charge. It is now replaced with my current S23 Ultra.
bro what is the wallpaper
Is the s9 4g capable?
I wish samsung will release a new unit of samsung S9, it will be samsung 5G , with 4 cameras, with higher battery mah's and also a higher capacity of its storage from 4GB/6GB of RAM to 8GB and 64GB/128 to 256 of ROM. This will be great if that happens
Came back to my s9 flashing it with a custom rom using Android 13 and I gotta say it's fckn fluid. Trying it out as my main phone for a trip. Also switched out the old battery for a new one
did you see and big improvement in charge after switching battery. mines on 67% health and im considering switching battery
Bought my s9+ bran new when it launched and I'm still using it now. It does everything my partners iPhone 13 does as near as I can tell. I was going to replace it when they stopped the support updates but on seeing the price if the new s22 at the time I gave it a hard pass. Ill use this phone till it stops working, then I'll probably get a Chinese copy or something. I'm not paying £1500 for a phone, its a joke.
I got it on january and im so satisfied about it
The S10 isn't supported anymore either, is it?
Currently have the galaxy s9 plus right now, it is a pretty amazing but unfortunately it is outdated so I'm switching this summer to a galaxy s21 or 22
Get an iPhone or Google pixel 6 galaxy phones are trash

Me too
I love my S9 a lot. Have been using it since 2019. My average screen on time with this phone is 10hrs a day. But never it gave trouble to my eyes. It probably has the best display ever on a smart phone. I absolutely love the dual curved amoled panel of S9. I guess it's one of the most accurate phone displays created ever. Also stereo sound after 4 years is still superb. I can't say how much I am love with this phone. Every cricket match or movie that I watched on this was an absolute treat. I just wished if Samsung had given better battery life to increase its availability. Currently I get 7 hrs screen on time on 100% charge which very low, so have to charge 2/3 times a day which is still fine to me just for the amazing display and sound.
Hey man I managed to get this phone 2nd hand for relatively cheap and as a light user I'm really enjoying it. But the battery....
It went from 100% to 0 in about 4 hours and all I was doing was some discord and browsing. I'm taking that to mean that the battery I have is pretty much useless at this point or is that about the same hours you get on your phone? (for a similar load)

Got 4 phones following the same series. Recently got my s22 and still miss my s9. The keyboard, the symmetry, the agility lmao
Proud owner of Samsung galaxy S9 since 2018 until now and I will not change it unless something is seriously wrong start to happen. I don't use a lot of apps on it and it does all I need so I don't need to change it 😜
You can have more storage with this phone and the old audio jack is nice to have too.
had mine since 2018 suck thing is that my lock button already fall out but good thing casing is there to hold on to it lmao
Link wallpaper pls?
I don't think today's budget phones can compete against these 2018 flagship yet, performance still goes to these old flagships.
Try it out yourself with phones that has similar price range.
I agree because i still have my S9 and i used other budget android phones in the past and they are no where near the specs of the flagship samsung phones and they have cheaper parts and worse performance, my S9 still holds up to this day and is quite snappy! Even thou it isn't updated anymore it still is quite a fast phone to do many things, infact i mobile video edit on it and it works perfect 👌
Haha same with my note 9. Just swap battery once and still unsure if i should swap my burned screen together too.😵💫😵
I've got a galaxy a something works phone, new out the box end of last year. Its not in the league of my s9+, no where near as smooth or quick.
Me watching this on my 5 year old s9🤓.
This phone is really durable. I dont even got a screen protector and it doesnt even have scratches. It also falls a lot and is still working fine😁. Only the storage is full after al these years😪
how long does the battery last? also which version do you have?
@@Abdullah-qm5csprobably 4 hours screen on time

Ive just bought one for 50€. I wanted to use Samsung Dex but when i use my usb c to hdmi cable it says it needs additional power and cant use it. Anyone can recommend me a cheap one ? Also about the software support. This Phone does have Android 13 just saying.
For S9 u have to use Dex pad to use Dex.
Yes but it requires you to be connected to a computer
My fav phone. Sadly, it suddenly started not working well. Apps randomly closing, turning itself off, black screen. Upgraded to a 22.
I'm currently using the s8, if I didn't have a screen burn problem, I would still use it, but now it's time to change, maybe I can get the s9.
Get the s21. At About 300 USD you’ll be able to get a good used phone which shall last you another good 4 years at least.
Got the s9 as a high school graduation gift in 2019, and the battery only just started to fail on me. Overall this phone has been amazing.
I still love ths phone in 2023! It's still very worth it IMO! It has a lot of capability, great performance, great specs, except for the slightly old version, which is android 10. It's a great backup and a very good hand-me-down.

Can you do a s20 ultra in 2023 vid please
The design of s8 s9 was best
Agree
I have s9+ for 3 years now.
Just swapped the battery.
I still have one but it dosent have a power button
would I be able to download any app that I want from the playstore?
Uhh, yes???
Yes
I want to ask how much does the update aspect matter?
Because lets be honest, its mostly just far too overhyped by Apple fans, because Apple gives more.
I mean, the S9 (Android 9) has all apps available (from Play Store) as S23 with Android 13. Meanwhile, even the 1-2 Year Old iOS 14 loses most apps, so iPhones NEED updates to work.
The big thing is security, and how much difference is it, compared to just using a little cautiously, or -----
A free anti-virus to just do monthly scans?
Considering that Samsung is one of the best in terms of software stability, experimental features. And that Knox is highly advanced, real, hardware based security too......
This will truly be better than many mid-range phones
Just one correction: iPhones don’t lose apps after a year. I have an iPhone X (soon 6 years old), I can still download and use all apps on the AppStore. Never had any problems
The oldest iPhone with iOS14 is iPhone 6S. What do you want to do with a phone released in 2015?
@@szupermacsTV Similarly, Android 5-7 (majority apps support) are also from 2014-2016. What would anyone do with a 2014-2016 phone? (Assuming zero updates)
My point is that Android retains functionality, and can work without updates, unlike iOS. It is just a completely wrong metric to tie to lifespan and dismiss good phones
Well said, people who think updates (expect to optimize/bug fix new phone) matter on Android are mistaken.
I broke my Moto G4 Play and ended up needing a phone in an emergency earlier this year. I ended up getting an S9 and love it.
i have s9 for 3 years and it works still very good, the battery lasts approximately 4-5 hours if you use the phone for that long with out turning it off that is, and the battery goes to 88% in one hour!, i really like it because it works like a new phone, doesnt lag and has okay good audio if you compare it to same aged phones, the camera is kinda bad but i dont really use it anyway, i love it so much, ew it sounds like im writting a love letter, anyways you can ask me stuff about galaxy s9 and i can answer for you ❤
hi, so actually I'm thinking of buying one 2nd hand which is much cheaper as you pretty much know. but I'm really worried about the battery. would you mind giving some insights about battery?
@@Abdullah-qm5cs 3,000mAh battery, the phone can get pretty burning hot if you use optimized apps, there's also this assistant called bixby that is like siri or alexa you can turn that off in the settings since it drains alot of battery, they also added a setting for longer battery life although I dont know where to find that im sure Google can help, you can also find plenty of other information about galaxy s9 on Google and TH-cam or other platforms, so sorry if this wasn't much help I hope you have a nice day ❤
1:56 phones got ride of headphone jacks? wtf! my s9 going strong 5 years later.
imo earbuds are better i have a used s20 i have 6 hours of sot
My coworker has an S9 and it still runs perfectly fine apart from being a little slow
Just bought the bronze variant and this is still great ❤
hey I'm also planning to buy one can you tell ehich beraion do you have and how long it lasts?
I just had my galaxy Z fold 4 stolen so I just picked one of these up for cheap
Still have my s9 works perfectly...my battery is giving up on me😂
The front of the phone looks modern but the back looks kinda old.
It's good phone with only one very bed thing in it, for me it is problem of all S series - thin phones with top CPUs, relay on same battery A series have. With non-plus S phone can't survive workday without charging, A-series you can use all day without things like - run map to find address and loose 2% of battery.
If only S9 were 2mm thicker with ~4000mAh battery - I'll call it 5 years phone we can still use with no problem. Good camera, fast for everyday use, not too big. But after A-series achieve cameras you really can use, like A51 or never and two-three times better battery time S9 is not super option. (Samsung have no mid options with good cameras in times of S9, like Nexus 5x and some other mids have).
I think my s9 would be my phone till it works (have my battery replaced this year), but after I'll go for A54 or ASUS zenphone 9, not for S22/S23. Yes, we can use fast charge, but how it can replace capacity, if I left home/office/car for some walk - I have no confidence on my phone if no powerbank in my pocket, even with 100% battery.
I still have my S9 plus, which still works very well.

Galaxy S9 is The sexiest phones!!!!!!

Now I want it back but it's not possible.
where I can get a great cellphone, headphone jack, externeal memory card, heart rate and oxygen sensons, fm radio .... bad decision leaving mine S9
I couldnt care less what anyones mum says. Ill tell you now. The samsung S9 is one of if not the most timeless phone. If not for the single camera at the back it would be as modern today as back then.
Ive had my S9 for 5yrs mayb and even now everytime i take the case off it i just think WOW that feels incredible.
I use 3 phones today. I thought ide upgrade last year and silly times i decided to try a S20 FE. 8 day's later i dropped it and cracked the screen in 3 places. Im using it right now though. You cant see the cracks when the screen is on.
So i decided quickly i need a new phone and F that idea again keep the cheap 💩 ill get an S phone only.
So i got the s22 bcos of how nice the s9 feels in hand perfection just feels like the best marble pebble ever.
But nope i didnt like the S22 at all it felt weird in my hand i decided the S20 FE large screen got to me so F it go swap it for the S22+ the one that looks identical to the s23+ lol. I just played with s23+ plus days ago and its identical.
Except the cameras periscope walls easier to see on s22+ and the little red dot on s22+ isnt red on s23+
But that s23+ was cracked so badly its only 3 months old and caved in at the top. Scary 💩 if you ask me.
My s20 FE was flung out of my hand opening stiff door and crashed into hard concrete floor and its only got hair line cracks.
My S9 though 😍 it has stood up to so many atracks mostly from my kids. I stopped caring about it year's ago give it to the 3yr old with temper issues who cares.
I remember last summer i saw my messy bed and quickly made it. I grabbed the quilt and violently shook it to spread the quilt i did it fast as you do. Then i immediately saw my S9 flying through the air crashed into the wall like ide thrown it at the wall then it fell 5ft ish to the floor and its still perfect.
With its screen burn though the one and only issue i had with my S9.
I have a bad habit of sleeping with my phone on YT audiobooks etc if the phone goes silent i wake up restart the video back to sleep. So it got sceeen burn fast and i learned to dim the brightness in future but damage was done. Num keypad letters etc all burned into the screen.
Which is why i keep it now i use my S9 as my sleep phone. It is always on charge all night whilst playing video's then when i get up i unplug the charger and leave it there till night. Battiery 90+% still and back on charge non stop YT for 8-12hrs.
Ide say its having a really hard life and yet i think its my favorite phone of all time still.
Taking over from my S4 I loved my S4. I loved my S7 but easier forgotten with S9.
The S2 S7 S9 are the best of the S phones imo.
But i skipped s3. S5 my wife had those feminine phones though. Idk why but they really are HER versions of S phones to me. Guys looked phone with S3 especially feminine phone. My mum had the first S5 i saw so and it's perforated rear case and little fanny flap over its charge port. Feminine phone.
I never had experience with S6 or S8 but dont think i missed much. S4 slayed even then. S7 slayed till S9.
S9 Still slays today though. Phones now are just too much i dont know what i love about my s22+ except the 100x zoom i never ever use.
The theme creator is cool. Slow mo etc afew camera tricks i really like but later i checked my s20 FE which is now my daily home browser phone.
S22+ has an easy life but s20fe does almost everything my s22+ does.
But i do love the s22+ camera cluster and the S pen thats feminine asF i always thought but it is a nice touch
