Impressions
Samsung Galaxy S9 might not be a great upgrade over the Galaxy S8, but this phone is hands down insane. I have no complaints about this device whatsoever, well except the Bixby button. This is as close to the “perfect-smartphone” as we have gotten. The glass back, Slightly curved edges, IP68 Water and Dust resistant, Qualcomm Fast Charging, this phone has it all.
However, some users in Nepal may be unsatisfied with the storage option, because its 2018 and 64GB of storage on this premium device would be kind of less. Other than that, this phone is the best there is.
We will be coming with a review and impression video of S9 and S9+ pretty soon. So, stay tuned!
