Verizon Samsung Galaxy S9 64GB, Midnight Black - Upgrade Only

After begging my husband for months to get new phones we decided on the Samsung galaxy S9 for both of us. Oh boy I was SO SO SO excited when I got mine, after having the same phone for 3 years the sound is amazing the pictures are high quality the space is well very spacious but the battery life SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!! Oh yeah it charges fast but mine or my husbands (same phones) loses battery very quickly always have to have the charging block or chargers with us! All this space and no battery life to power it =( !!! Definitely wished I would have known this before getting stuck with it for 2 years!!! If the battery life is garbage after 1 month these next 2 years are gonna be rough!!!

Okay we made a big jump when we went from a 3 to the 9. I find the learning curve frustrating. This phone is so different. My texting doesn't seem to work logically. I am still trying to set up notification rings that just don't seem to be working the way I like. Moving pictures into albums seem to be more complicated than on the 3. Guess by the time I get really comfortable with it I'll need to up grade to a phone that can access the 5g that will be offered.

I just purchased this s9 amazing coming from a s5 what a difference.

I am a 51 year old male. I've been a devoted consumer of Galaxy S smartphones since GS3. For me, the Galaxy S line has always presented the perfect combination of elegance and flexibility to customize the phones. I recently purchased a Galaxy S9 and received it a few days ago. It is stunningly beautiful, and when I turned it on, I immediately fell in love with it; it was everything I expected. I couldn't have been happier and was very satisfied with my purchase until I completed all the updates and ended up with One UI. I could not have been more disappointed, especially with the icons. All the non-Samsung icons look just as they did before, clean, professional, and mature. But the Samsung icons and the colors look like they are designed for a child, a very young child, and they are not aesthetically pleasing at all. The best thing about the phone now, is not unlocking the screen. In Contacts, there are too many colors for the bubbles and the colors are kids' colors. There was nothing wrong with the wire frame bubbles; everything does not have to pop with color, adults use phones too. Last, but not least, it seems the settings have been streamlined too much to the point where you can't even remove or hide things like the silly stickers icon (which also seems like is for a child) in the message space in Samsung's message app; the smiley icon used to be there. I don't know if the settings were removed, or they're actually there, and discovery of them just isn't as intuitive as before. I want to be able to customize to my liking as in the previous versions. I can't express my displeasure with One UI enough. I hate to say it, but the now, since the update, the phone feels like an iPhone. If I wanted an iPhone I would've bought an iPhone. I recently listened to a very well known tech podcast, and the host used language very similar to mine about what I now know is One UI in his description of the GS10 UI. I didn't think much about it because I thought it was probably specific to the GS10 and not the GS9 I was getting… he was right. Since I've been Galaxy S fan, I never thought about buying a phone from another brand until now. I've seen many reviews and comments, and there are a lot of others that feel the same way I do about One UI. Samsung please, please pay attention to what we are saying! You make the best, most beautiful and mature hardware, and your user interface and software has to match it.

I switched from apple to Samsung Galaxy and I dont regret it what so ever! This is the best phone I have ever had. The camera quality is amazing. Also it's very fast and the battery lasts long
