I would say, If not for, maybe software and other little issues e.g like battery, some of those old phones would still be better even in 2025 as phones haven't really changed much and most of those old phones have stronger processors and camera hardware than some lower end and some proper midrangers would have even in 2025 lol grin grin. Except of course u're going for an equally high end or upper midrange of a current year

S9 is worth it in 2022 bro.
S9 is a flagship phone you can get at the price of a budget phone.
It gives room for one or two android update which can still make you do more.
The camera quality outshines those of the budget phones that are in the same price range due to Dollar increase.
The snapdragon or exynos processor can't be compared to mediatek processors, because oga na master.
You have a decent android experience as compared to thoses that bombard you with ads on every little thing.
You have a very good display compared to the budget phone of the same price, s9 surpasses 400nits in brightness I think.
Build quality- Great
Display- Great
Camera- Great
Performance- Great
Battery- Good

Alot of things make it good for 2022, but the two things I want you to consider are
1. The ability to resale at a valuable price after usage
2. The performance you will enjoy afterwards.

Although we all know repairing a Samsung screen is crazily expensive, but the rest about Samsung are as sweet as honey.

It's still worth it bro.

Better processor than most midrange phones you'll find out there. Buy the Snapdragon version and you're gucci.

The three downsides are

1. Battery life!1!1! Disgraceful battery life, walahi. So if you're thinking of playing high end games, get a power bank too lo

2. Android version limitation. The software update stopped at 10 so if that isn't much of an issue....

3. Costly Screen

If the three issues above can be overlooked, then you're set. I'll personally recommend the note 10 plus.

Re: Is Samsung Galaxy S9 Worth It In 2022? by shogotermies(m): 10:58pm On Sep 24, 2022
Inali:
flagship I'm what sense?

I know of three phone categories, namely;
Budget phones (BP)
Mid-range phones (MP)
Flagship phones (FP)
BP- is targeted for the common man, very affordable and quality is a 2.5 of 5 stars. Most tecno, infinix, and itel are the main phones here.
MP- Targeted for the well to do common man, not so affordable, and quality is a 3.5 of 5 stars. Samsung and redmi are battling with infinix, tecno and itel in this category.
For the win, most high end tecno and infinix mobile are in this category.
FP- Targeted for the well to do, rich and those ready to spend over 750 USD on mobile phone. Samsung, Google, and apple devices are the major in this league.
FP has 6 major boxes they must fill.
Build quality- they're usually, glass back (Gorrila glass back) and aluminum frame. Compared to the plastic frame and back in MP and BP.
Camera- sharp, stable, high definition, proper detailing of images all of these are expecting in FP, which are not so missing in MP but a big miss in BP.
Performance- FP must have a very great performance, at least you should be able to run a 500mb app, with no worries.
Display-
Battery-
Extras- This includes wireless charging, waterproof, reverse wireless charging, nfc, etc

Yes, it was a flagship device for the year 2019 or 18, I can't remember.
Meaning, it was among the powerful phones for that year.
Meaning for that year, the specs were high end.

So,according to you,the Snapdragon 845 Chipset on the S9..
Is better than Mediatek's Dimensity 9100?
Lol. grin
Re: Is Samsung Galaxy S9 Worth It In 2022? by Deicide: 11:05pm On Oct 03, 2022
It's not worth it get the S9± cause it has 6Gb ram unlike the S9 that just have 4Gb.

According to me, I referred to the budget phones in this comment.
Budget phones will use budget mediatek processors,
High end infinix and tecno, will use high end mediatek processors.
Then you can now compare the high-end processors of snapdragon with mediatek high-end processors let's see.
