In the age of yearly releases and ever-increasing specs, the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S9 still enjoys such a strong following is surprising.
Released in 2018, the Galaxy S9 remains one of the most searched-for second-hand phones in Canada. Here at Majestik, we continue to have a high demand for Samsung S9 repairs, accessories, and refurbished models
Here’s a good reason why!
Timeless Design That Remains Competitive
Its curved glass aesthetic still rivals current flagships.
It features a 5.8-inch Quad HD+ Super AMOLED display that delivers crisp imagery and rich contrast that still stands up years after the phone’s debut. Whereas newer smartphones tend to be big and unwieldy, the S9 has the compact, pocketable form factor that most buyers desire.
Performance That Defies Time
With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chip and 4GB RAM, the SamsungGalaxy S9 still handles daily operations, streaming, and multitasking without noticeable lag.
While newer phones have trended towards increased RAM capabilities, the S9 remains solid for general mobile use, including social applications, photography, navigation, and video playback.
Camera Features That Remain Impressive
A standout feature of the Galaxy S9 was the adjustable camera aperture—a feature that even by today’s standards remains rare.
The rear-facing 12MP camera changes between f/1.5 and f/2.4, delivering sharp photos in the dark as well as in brighter conditions. The front-facing 8MP selfie camera combined with advanced software processing continues to deliver clarity that’s on par with recently released mid-range phones.
Robust Construction, Proven Longevity
Most current users keep the Samsung S9 not just because of nostalgia, but also because of physical resilience and reliability.
Having both the front and the rear covered by Gorilla Glass 5 and being IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, the S9 withstands regular use without compromising on performance.
Software Support and Tailoring
Although the S9 no longer receives updates for the newest versions of Android, the most recent supported version that the S9 receives (Android 10 and One UI 2.5) is still simple to navigate.
Users who desire the cleanest experience possible appreciate the custom ROM community that continues to support the Galaxy S9 through third-party firmware.
Affordable, Accessible, and Still Relevant
