The iPhone X mustered 48.8 Mbps down and 7.7 Mbps up. On the app, the S9+ averaged 71.6 Mbps downloads and 10.1 Mbps uploads.

When it comes to 4G LTE performance, the Galaxy S9+ smoked the iPhone X in side-by-side tests over T-Mobile's network. However, on the more demanding Sling Shot Extreme OpenGL ES 3.1 benchmark, the iPhone X notched 4,994 to the Galaxy S9+'s 4,634. On 3DMark's Sling Shot benchmark, which measures graphics performance, the Galaxy S9 scored 5,739, which beats the iPhone X (3,998). In addition, the camera offers dedicated memory for reducing noise. The aperture automatically adjusts from f/1.5 to f/2.4, depending on the conditions. This fools your ear into believing that sound is coming at you from different directions in 3D space, making movies more immersive.Д¬amera: Low-light improvement, Super Slow-mo funД«oasting a new variable aperture, the Galaxy S9's new Super Speed Dual Pixel camera is designed to let in 28 percent more light than the S8.

With the S9 and S9+ delivering 1.4 times more volume than the S8 and S8+, I also had an easier time hearing directions coming from Google Maps while I drove. When I streamed Alice Merton's 'No Roots,' the vocals sounded clear even at maximum volume and the drums had a nice punch to them. That's because the sound coming from the stereo speakers at the top and bottom of the S9 is just that good. I left the phone on for hours by my side playing music as I wrote this review and did my testing.

I did something I've never done before when reviewing the Galaxy S9. My only nitpick with this curved panel is that it can sometimes be difficult to press buttons on the extreme edges of the display on more than one occasion I had to press twice for something to register. The Pixel 2 XLвЂ™s image looked a little flat by comparison. The greens and blues popped more on the S9+вЂ™s panel, even though the iPhone XвЂ™s display shined brighter. In side-by-side viewing of a scene from the Black Panther on the Galaxy S9+, iPhone X and Pixel 2 XL, the S9+ delivered the best image quality. That's much higher than the results from the iPhone X (128.6 percent) and Pixel 2 XL (120 percent). The S9 definitely has the most colorful panel around, though, as it reproduces a whopping 220 percent of the SRGB color gamut. Under normal indoor conditions, the max brightness on the iPhone X is higher than the S9 or S9+. However, it's important to note that Samsung's panels don't get this bright manually you'll have to be in direct sunlight. On our light meter, the S9's display registered a whopping 603 nits, which is higher than the Pixel 2 XL's 438 nits and even higher than the iPhone X's 574 nits. Samsung has responded with the Galaxy S9+, whose curved display offers a brighter picture than the S8+ and covers even more of the color gamut than the iPhone X and Pixel 2 XL. Even though that phone reportedly packs a Samsung-made OLED screen, it beat Samsung's own phones in our screen shootout last fall, achieving the highest brightness (indoors), widest viewing angles and most-natural-looking colors.

It survived, though, which earned it a toughness score of 6 out of 10. Following that, a 6-foot drop onto its edge caused more damage, as did a face drop from that height.ДЇinally, a 4-foot drop into a water-filled toilet didn't cause much more damage to occur, but by this point, the screen was shattered pretty thoroughly. A 4-foot face drop onto concrete caused the S9's screen to crack, but the phone was still largely usable. We also dropped it on its edge and face from 6 feet onto concrete.Дrops from 4 feet and 6 feet onto wood caused no damage whatsoever to the S9.

We tested the toughness of the Galaxy S9 by dropping it on its face onto wood from a height of 4 feet and 6 feet we then dropped it on its edge and face onto concrete from 4 feet. This time around, Samsung trimmed the bezels slightly on the top and bottom, giving you the same size displays in slightly more compact packages. I'll give Samsung a pass for not changing the design of the Galaxy S9 much, because the phone's edge-to-edge Infinity Display already looked stunning when it was introduced a year ago on the Galaxy S8.
