   Not really sure why I decided to try out the Samsung Galaxy S9+ but happy that I did so far – I am a die hard Apple person. All my desktop computers at home are Apple, my other 4 family members all have iPhones and we have laptops that are all Apple. Not really sure why I decided to try out the Samsung Galaxy S9+ but happy that I did so far. I was using a 4 1/2 year old iPhone 5s so I figured any phone would be a huge upgrade to the modern world. It still takes a little getting used to coming from the IOS system’s way of doing things. I do lose the capability of iMessage and FaceTime. Not a huge deal and I can use the DUO app from Google which is the same as FaceTime. The key points with this phone are that the large and beautiful screen looks great. I like the haptic feel of the keys when texting how you feel the keys being pressed (a little buzz/vibration). I think the new iPhone X does this too but again, I’m coming from a 5s. My only two choices for a new phone were this S9+ or keep on with Apple and get an iPhone X. The X would have cost me $1150 plus an AppleCare warranty for $200. I got this Samsung (and got the Ultimate Play Bundle) for $840 plus $100 for the bundle. Took out a Square Trade 2 year warranty for $108 with only a $99 deductible should I need to use it. I have used Square Trade warranties in the past for other products and they have always replaced and stood by their guarantee. Square Trade is owned by Allstate so I have confidence in them. Getting back to the phone, the S9+ seems to work VERY fast when loading apps and pages. I use it for a lot of my wireless products at home (Nest thermostat, wireless cameras, LIFX lights, Liftmaster garage door opener) and all work fast and flawlessly. The audio when playing music sounds great. Plays very loud and clear for a phone. I like the fact that it does still have an earphone jack. I like the Android system as it comes with Google Assistant voice command. Most people hate the Bixby feature on this phone. My only real gripe with it is the large button on the left side of the phone and that when trying to adjust the phone volume I accidentally hit Bixby sometimes. I do like though that i’s voice activated. I get in my car in the morning, speak to wake up Bixby and command it to open up whatever app I need (usually Waze). Once open, I speak to Waze to take me to work. All of this without having to look at my phones screen or take my eyes off the road. Also, the Bixby AI camera function is very cool too. There are about 8 or 9 different things it can do with the camera. Like, point the camera lens at a sign in a foreign language and have it live translate the sign to English or any other language on the phone (and there are plenty of them on this phone). Point it at food and it will tell you what it is and average calorie count. Point it at a wine bottle label and it will give you the information on the wine (type, year, etc…). The ONLY thing I think I will never use again and of course I tried it out is the Animoji of myself or any of my friends. It’s scary weird. Everyone looks the same on this. I would personally like to see an update to the phone where they fix this to be more of a 3D type and look more realistic. I have been looking online for days at comparisons of the pictures taken on this phone compared to others. Mot notably the iPhone X. In my opinion, the X does do a lot of pix better. The contrast is usually better. The real advantage to this phone is it tends to overexpose a bit. So, dark scenes will look a bit brighter than on the iPhone X. The only thing I had to get used to is the colors on a Samsung phone are very oversaturated. Colors are very bright. There is a setting in display function that gives you 4 options of view. I turned it down to one of them and it now looks a LOT more realistic. I like the fact that this phone, as well as the iPhone X, features ability to record video at 4K 60fps. Looks great. On the Samsung though the optical stabilization doesn’t work when shooting 4K 60fps. Keep a steady hand and this isn’t an issue. For all other video formats, the stabilization on the Samsung works better than the X. All in all, I am happy I went with the Samsung. In a few months if I regret it, I can always keep it for a few months and sell it to get the new larger iPhone X Plus.

   Great NEW phone! – I was a little unsure about this because of mixed reviews. It was a new in the box phone complete with all extras. It connected to Straight Talk with no problems when I put my SIM card in it. I would buy this again without a doubt! Great phone at a great price!

   Bought from Amazon, activated with Sprint – I just started using this phone so too early for a definitive review. I am mainly going to address some issues brought up by others since there are a lot of problems people are writing about. One of the big issues with these reviews is that people don’t usually include who was the actual seller of the product. As most hopefully realize, just because you buy a product on Amazon doesn’t mean it was actually sold by Amazon. Many third party sellers sell through Amazon. This is especially a problem for electronics where there are so many variations in model numbers and “gray market” devices one could end up with an expensive paper weight. I suspect that is the source of many of the issues with this product. Make sure you know the seller. My invoice shows: “Sold by: Amazon Services, Inc.” While you may get the correct item from another seller you also could get a lemon without any customer support. Also make sure it specifically states “New” if that is what you want and whether a US Warranty (or the correct warranty for your country) is included. Gray market goods typically don’t have a warranty. Also see if the item comes with Amazon support. My Galaxy S9 specifically stated 90 day support from Amazon for any issues.
