Key Highlights

Samsung’s flagship smartphones, the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series, have long been the driving force behind the company’s dominance in global markets. With the immense success of the Galaxy S8, Galaxy S8+, and Galaxy Note 8 in 2017, Samsung not only solidified its reputation but also surpassed Apple in global market share. Building on that momentum, Samsung entered 2018 with renewed ambition, launching the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ in India shortly after their global debut at MWC 2018—and at the same starting prices as the previous year’s models. This timely release gave Indian consumers the perfect opportunity to grab the new flagships on launch day. The Samsung Galaxy S9 embodies the brand’s commitment to excellence and innovation. It features a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a crisp 1440 x 2960 pixels (QHD+) resolution, delivering stunning visuals and vibrant colors. Powered by Android, it houses a 12 MP rear camera capable of capturing detailed, dynamic shots, alongside an 8 MP front camera for clear, bright selfies. Released in March 2018, the Galaxy S9 continues to hold strong in the market, offering flagship-level performance even years later. As of November 11, 2025, its price in India starts from ₹26,869 on Amazon, making it an appealing choice for users seeking a premium experience at a reasonable cost. With a 3000 mAh battery, powerful performance, and elegant design, the Galaxy S9 remains a favorite among gamers, photographers, and professionals alike. In essence, the Samsung Galaxy S9 isn’t just a smartphone—it’s a symbol of Samsung’s dedication to pushing boundaries and redefining what users can expect from a flagship device.
