Samsung Galaxy S9 64 GB / 4 GB
 | Outdated Product The flagship smartphone of the 2018 model, combining almost all the progressive developments in the industry in one bottle. The gadget has retained the features of its predecessor (Samsung Galaxy S8), and innovations in its design have touched on the reduction of the frame under the Super AMOLED screen, which stretched diagonally by 5.8", and the movement of the fingerprint scanner under the main camera lens. Smartphone unlocking methods are supplemented with user recognition by face and iris. The Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB is powered by the top 8-core Exynos 9810 chip (for some regions, a version of the gadget with a Snapdragon 845 processor is available), and the amount of “RAM” on board is 4 GB. 64 GB is allocated for user data storage, part of which is taken by Android 8.0 OS. Despite the..."one-eyed" camera, the smartphone is the strongest player in the field of camera phones — the key features of the device's photomodule include variable aperture f / 1.5-f / 2.4 and 960 fps slow motion video in HD resolution. The ninth "galaxy" is armed with the Bixby voice assistant, a full set of communication modules (including the NFC), as well as fast and wireless charging technologies for a 3000 mAh battery. |

Former Heavyweight Champion
In terms of price, in the three years since its release, the former heavyweight champion Samsung Galaxy S9 has slowly moved down to the middleweight division. Did it make him worse? Definitely not. First, he looks great. At the time of its release, it was one of the first truly bezel-less smartphones, and to this day it has a top display-to-bezel ratio. Secondly, against the backdrop of modern gigantic smartphones, the Galaxy S9 with its 5.8-inch screen begs to be compared with a inch. At the same time, the Super AMOLED display itself has a record pixel density (570 ppi) and in terms of quality is not much inferior to later versions of the Galaxy S. And the screens there are always excellent.
Great single camera
Third, it's a great camera. And this is not surprising, because for 3-4 years Samsung and Apple fought in the battle for the title of the best camera phone. Yes, the camera is single, this is not often seen in 2020, but the number of modules is not the main thing here. It is important that the guys from Samsung used a very successful sensor of their own production Samsung S5K2L3 with a double aperture and wrote intelligent software in pair with it, which allowed the Galaxy S9 to earn the title of one of the best camera phones of its generation. But not the camera alone. Among the previously mentioned unusual features, things stand out like 3D Touch (pressure recognition), smart display resolution, meteorological sensor, built-in heart rate monitor. Throw in the traditional high-end smartphone bundle of NFC, fast charging, a waterproof case, and a fingerprint/Face ID scanner and you have a great smartphone that refuses to age. And there is a full-fledged headphone output and support for memory cards. Go find such a set in modern flagships.
Exynos 9810 processor and 4GB RAM
In comparison to this, only 4 GB of RAM look out of date, which have now become the de facto standard for mid-range smartphones. Spreading more than 400 dollars for such a device, I would like to get a small reserve for the future. If this point bothers you, pay attention to the older brother Galaxy S9 Plus, which costs a little more, but is also stuffed more seriously. The Exynos 9810 processor also lacks stars from the sky. On paper, it was supposed to be an alternative to the Snapdragon 845, but in reality it was noticeably behind. By the standards of 2020, this is a solid average level.
