What is special about S9 plus?
jc
over 1 year ago
Its tall 18.5:9 aspect ratio has set the standard for all-screen smartphones. It can display a Quad HD+ resolution, yet it still looks outstanding at the default Full HD 1080p. It's the combination of the futuristic-looking curved edges, vibrant colors, and high contrast ratio that make it pop.

versie.kutch

No, Samsung phones can't FaceTime. Apple doesn't make FaceTime available for Android devices. So no Android-powered smartphone, including the ones from Samsung, are able to run FaceTime. This is just one of the ways Apple keeps iOS users locked to its ecosystem.

norbert
about 2 years ago
If money is no object, the S9 is undoubtedly the better phone, but until the price of the S9 comes down a little, the S8 is the much better value option. Essentially, you get largely the same phone for a whole lot less money.

Assuming you find a good deal and you're not put off by the lack of new firmware updates, 5G, top-end performance, super-fast charging, a full-screen design, and newer One UI features, then it could still be a decent choice.

Unfortunately, Android does not have a native screen recorder on the Galaxy S9 or the S9+. The only way you can record the screen of your Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9+ is to install a third party app. There are many apps to choose from that work great for recording your Galaxy S9 screen.
