Samsung Galaxy S9 vs Galaxy S9 Plus – Which is the Best Galaxy?

With the official launch of Samsung S9 and S9 Plus, it brought a new surprising change to the other galaxy models, that is, a choice of 128 GB or 256 GB. If you’re on a lookout for a new phone, the two new versions of the galaxy phones can be something you might be looking for. There are a few things you really need to consider before choosing between the Galaxy S9 and the S9 Plus. This article will discuss, in detail, the differences and few similarities that each of them has. This way, you’ll be able to decide which phone fits your needs better.

Galaxy S9 & S9 Plus Size Comparison

The obvious difference between both the Samsung phones is the size. S9 Plus is supposedly larger than the S9 which may be a choice for most of the people. Both of them has 2,960 x 1,440-pixel resolution, but S9 Plus has a screen of 6.2 inches while S9 has a 5.8-inch screen. Samsung S9 Plus has a larger body that is 0.4 inches taller and 0.2 inches wider, but the thickness of both phones is exactly the same that is 8.5 mm. A bigger phone is not always a better option. The Samsung Galaxy S9 crams more pixels in a smaller body which makes it better for VR pixels as those pixels get blown up by the Samsung Gear VR or Google Day Dream View’s Magnifying lenses. This, however, is not as good in S9 Plus. This turns out to be just like last year’s S8 and S8 Plus.
