Great UK version of the S9, with an Arm Mali GPU

Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2018

This was exactly what was described (the UK version of the phone, that had a European charger (and they put in a UK-to-US plug adapter in the shipping package). I'm very satisfied!

The phone looks and acts great, to the degree that I've used it.

Note: I'm using the phone for testing software, and so I'm never planning to use this as a phone (i.e. it will never have a SIM in it). I need to test with an S9 that has the latest Arm Mali GPU, which this has.

NOT AS DESCRIBED AND DEFECTIVE.

First of all the wrong phone was sent to me. The phone that was sent is a SM-G960U series. I tried to work with it but soon realized the phone will not update at all.The phone is not a dual sim as advertised. The bluetooth stopped working. The phone will not wireless charge from the first day I got it and now the battery seems to be depleting very fast although not much apps are running. I NEED MY MONEY BACK.

Excellent backup phone or phone to play with mods

Running "E" OS on this phone, it works quite well and is completely debloated with zero google garbage on it. While I don't have many apps on it right now, the battery lasts about 48 hours between charges if I am not playing around with it, and this includes the always-on lockscreen with the clock showing.

I am currently using this for my adv bike and running the DMD2 nav app from Thork Racing. It is easy enough to read in direct sunlight, but you cannot use full screen brightness all day long, it must be set a couple "clicks" down from max, as wired charging cannot keep up with the load of the screen's full brightness and battery runs down while plugged into a 2.4A charging outlet.

Having said that, running it slightly dimmer than max is still easily viewable and about equal to my galaxy S7 at full screen (which also cannot keep up with charging at full brightness, hence the new S9+ phone).

Fully recommend this phone be run on E OS, its a very simple install and mostly automated. Its interesting to see just how fast these phones are without all the bloat and extra garbage installed by the manufacturer as well as the extra junk one's service provider forces onto the phone! I'd say its almost as fast as my debloated S20 ultra 5G phone.

This is my first time of using a Samsung phone and I can say I am impressed with the product. The battery life is super and the phone is of high quality. It works well in other countries because of its ability to switch from 4g to 3g to 2g. I give it 5 stars.

So far so good. It worked with my wife's gsm sim card for str8talk. But it had problems. It couldn't receive calls, it could only call out. But all else worked on mobile data. Walmart somehow fixed it, which I am thankful for, but he didn't know how. It took him am hr on the phone and he was very irritable, understandably. It some how fix and he was like, well wth? That makes no sense!?! So that also makes no sense to me. Sorry I couldn't help with any future potential problems. She's only had it for 2 weeks. Will update in future. Hopefully before 2025.

Good cell-phone. I like the screen quality and photos. Fast enough for my daily work and good storage. Works good in Argentina. This international version came with an European plug and US adaptor.

Awesome Device and Happy w/ Seller

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020

Color: Coral BlueSize: Phone OnlyVerified Purchase

So I bought from Bcfly4 and this review is for them as much as it is for the S9.

The S9 is a great phone. Replacing the screen is about 280-300 bucks though so it's about the same to just buy a refurb and start over.

Also the international S9 can run Lineage OS and /e/ OS so super excited.

Thanks

I love it. Shipped to me brand new!

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2020

I knew I was in for a surprise when, just free floating around in the Amazon shipping box, there was an unmarked, unlabeled universal DC plug adapter for North American/Japanese prongs, in addition to the product.

The phone's retail packaging was shrink-wrapped and sealed. 90% of the packaging and literature was in Russian, aside from some warranty info. It came with a Russian USB wall charger, so thankfully they were nice enough to include that adapter.

As I stated before, my phone was shipped factory new, sealed in-box. Booting up the phone, I found it was in Russian, but could easily change it to US English and works beautifully.

Lock screen problems.

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2020

Color: Midnight BlackSize: Phone OnlyVerified Purchase

After I got this phone set up into my network service, it started shutting off on its own when there was not a significant amount of power being fed to its display screen (EX every time I would lock the phone, it would shut down). I could keep the phone from shutting down if it was playing audio the entire time with at least the volume on 1/15. The fingerprint scanner stopped working for me within a couple of days. I returned that phone, got a replacement from the same seller, and figured it was just the specific phone I got. Luck of the draw.
However, after I got the next one. I started having the exact same problems.
