Bottom line So, should you consider buying the Galaxy S9?If you already own last year's S8, we'd say take a pass. This blower doesn't offer any essential new features compared with the previous flagship, and it sure ain't cheap either. However, if you're tempted by a...

When my mom asked if she should upgrade from her Galaxy S8 to an S9, I struggled to find an answer. After spending about ten days with Samsung's latest flagship, I'm still torn. Besides the fact that I'd rarely recommend people upgrade from a year-old ph...
