Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus specs: All about refinements
June 24, 2025
Whilelast year’s Samsung flagshipsfeatured more or less the same list of specifications (barring screen size, battery capacity, and dimensions), the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus specs differ in a few more areas. The company is taking more of an Apple approach to its smartphone lineup this time around, which means buying the Plus version will get you more than just a bigger display.

The biggest difference between the phones is that you’re only getting a dual-camera setup on the Galaxy S9 Plus. The bigger of the two phones feature a wide-angle Dual Pixel 12 MP sensor with f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures, and a 12 MP telephoto lens. The smaller Galaxy S9 features one Dual Pixel 12 MP sensor with the same dual apertures as the S9 Plus.
There are a few other differences between these phones, too. The most obvious one is the difference in display size — the S9 Plus has a bigger 6.2-inch Quad HD+ display while the S9 has a 5.8-inch screen. You’ll get more RAM and battery capacity with the Plus model, too. The Galaxy S9 Plus features 6 GB of RAM and a 3,500 mAh battery, while the S9 has 4 GB of RAM and a 3,000 mAh cell.
Both phones will come with either the Samsung Exynos 9810 or Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoCs (depending on the region), 64 GB of storage, microSD expansion up to 400 GB, as well as IP68 ratings and the Dolby Atmos audio codec built in.
