Samsung Galaxy S9 tops Consumer Reports ratings with the highest rating!

In the first quarter of 2018, Samsung has stolen the show at the MWC 2018 event with the launch of their Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus flagships. Since their release, the Samsung Galaxy S9 duo has attracted the attention of various media. Moreover, they have received many compliments for their innovative camera and hardware improvements. And now, Consumer Reports have given these two Galaxy S9 handsets their highest recognition.

In details, they have placed the two Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphones at the top of their list. “…it was durability, speedier processing, and top-quality sound that nudged the S9 and S9 Plus (which start at $720 and $840, respectively) ahead of the competition in an exceptionally crowded field. Moreover, just six points separate our top 20 smartphones,” said an excerpt of the Consumer Reports review.

In term of the durability, the watchdog conducted a test of 100 drops in a tumbling machine. Previously, Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus displays were “badly broken and not functional” after a total of 50 drops. However, the Galaxy S9 broke through with just a few “minor scratches”. Additionally, the Samsung S9 Plus also survived the first 50 before cracking in the latter half. In the photography field, testers penalised the Galaxy S9 for over-sharpening pictures. “By doing this, we exaggerate the contrast between dark and light objects in the photos, potentially adding an unnatural-looking halo around the main subject,” the website elaborated. Moreover, it added that the difference in Galaxy S9 low light wasn’t noticeable in compared to its predecessor S8.
