Samsung galaxy s9 plus in 2023

As a hobby I refurbish broken tech and recently I got my hands on a Samsung galaxy S9 plus with a smashed screen and took up a challenge to repair an use it for a while as a buyer comes along this was a relatively easy task and i ended up with a fully working Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. This is a high-end Android smartphone that was released in 2018. Here are some of its key features:     



The pros.

-A large 6.2 inch super amoled screen.
-Good processor, the US version comes with qualcomm snapdragon
feels faster and snappier.
-Fair dual rear cameras at 12mp photos are sharp and the optical image stabilization adds to the experience.  
-3500 ma battery can last you through the day with some juice to spare if you are not a heavy user.
-Wireles charging as well as fast charging support
-Comes with USB type C 3.1 port that supports high data transfer speeds.
Other interesting features on the Samsung Galaxy 9 Plus include an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, a headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, additionally you can record an iris scanner which works more or less in the same way as FaceID on mobile phones manufactured by apple. It also supports Samsung's DeX dock, which allows it to be used as a desktop computer when connected to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

Cons

- No software update for this model. Both the s9 and s9 plus are stuck on android 10 with no foreseeable updates in sight. Compared to other mobile phones manufacturers that offer software support for their flagships up to five years, this is a major deal breaker as the phone specification seems able to support Android 11 and upto 12.

The bottom-line is this phone is a legend that samsung developed by keeping what was good on its predecessor and improving on consumer concerns, such as moving the fingerprint sensor from an unsuitable position to the current lower middle. Personally its a nice phone.
