At MWC 2018, Samsung announced two new phones – the Galaxy S9 and S9+. Both handsets are very similar to one another, but only the S9+ gets two rear cameras, a larger 3,500 mAh battery, and 6GB of RAM as opposed to 4GB.
However, along with these increased specs, the S9+ is also a physically bigger phone (158.1 x 73.8 x 8.5mm and 189g, to be exact).
One of our forum members reached out to the community to see what other people thought about the Galaxy S9+'s size, and these are a few of the top responses.

hasasimo02-27-2018 02:43 PM“YES, it is too big in my opinion. I'm 6'1" with proportionate hands. I've owned huge phones like the Lumia 1500 and currently own a Note8. Just because you can do most tasks with one hand on a big phone doesn't mean it's the most ideal or comfortable experience. Keep in mind: It's not just about the width or height of the phone, how thick the device is factors-in as well. You should be looking...

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous. Another day, another chat app from Google. After Hangouts Chat, we have more news from MWC and some tips on how to get the most battery life out of your mobile devices.This is a great early indication that Samsung has something special here.
Few things changed in the Galaxy S9+ over its predecessor, but the one fundamental shift was in its camera hardware. Going with an all-new sensor, physically changing aperture and a secondary telephoto lens, Samsung knew it had something worth talking about. And according to DxOMark, it worked: the Galaxy S9+ received its highest-ever mobile rating of 99.
The Galaxy S9+ got to that combined score of 99 with big help from the "photo" portion of DxOMark's testing, where it scored 104. It said that the GS9+ was great at controlling noise and had great colors, but was held back slightly by exposure instability and color fringing. The "video" score was a bit lower, at 91, with great stabilization and noise control but also loss of fine details in most conditions.
This all looks extremely promising.
Those keeping up with this sort of thing will know that's just one point higher on DxOMark's score table than the Google Pixel 2, which has been lauded by just about everyone as a fantastic photographic tool. It's also two points higher than the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, and five higher than the Galaxy Note 8. Remember that DxOMark's scoring system is not a fixed scale of 1 to 100 — you can read a bit more about its methodology here and also here.
We'll need to spend far more time with the Galaxy S9+ to make our own conclusions on the camera, but seeing a great score out of DxOMark is a good indicator of the class of camera we're dealing with here.
