TOUGH CUSTOMER
The S9 has a slightly more sturdy build than the S8, despite looking so similar. That includes marginally thicker glass, so it’s a touch more drop-proof
TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT
The S9 comes in Midnight Black, Titanium Grey, Coral Blue and a funky new Lilac Purple. That’s on the back and sides, of course – the front stays black, save for a peek around the edges
HEADPHONE HEAVEN
Unlike Apple, Samsung has kept the humble headphone jack. Probably a good thing, as USB-C headphones are still kind of a hot mess
BRIGHT FUTURE
The S9’s screen is the same high-res AMOLED screen as found on the S8, except that it’s a little brighter – handy in sunnier conditions
