Is Galaxy S9 still good in 2022?

How long will the Galaxy S9 be good for?
Should I upgrade from S9 to S22?
Can I still use a Galaxy S9?

TL;DR

One last surprise Samsung Galaxy S9 update just landed.
It brings the March 2022 security patch.
This should be the last update the phone receives.

Earlier this month, Samsung moved the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus to end-of-life status. This meant the most recent update for these devices was their last.

The builds are QP1A.190711.020.G960USQU9FVB2 and QP1A.190711.020.G965USQU9FVB2 for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus respectively. Release notes say the builds come with the March 2022 security patch and some bug fixes.

Theoretically, this should be the final Samsung Galaxy S9 update. However, Samsung has continued updating EOL phones several times in the past. Recently, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 received a surprise update, for example.

Do understand, though, that the official word is that the Galaxy S9 series is no longer supported. If you’re still rocking one of these phones, this final update should be the sign you need that it’s time to upgrade. There are a lot of great Samsung phones to be had, or you could even jump brands. Either way, the Galaxy S9 is old hat and it will soon be time to move on if only for the sake of smartphone security.

Any advice from an expert? I sent to change the charging port of the s9 plus, when I received it from the technical area they gave it to me without access to the mobile network, without headphone function and with the fast charging option disabled, what can I do or what could have happened, thanks

Akachi , 19 Oct 2022Pls dear how is the camera i want to get one next week but i want to confirm that the camera is coolCamera is good dear, not best but above average. Remember it was a Samsung flagship phone of 2018. Even today it is a good camera phone if you don't need ultrawide camera. You can read camera review here on GSMArena also.

How long will the Galaxy S9 be good for?

Performance and software The Galaxy S9 proves that smartphone hardware these days is perfectly capable of lasting four years or longer — provided software support is extended long enough.

Should I upgrade from S9 to S22?

The Galaxy S22 series, with Android 12-based One UI 4 and four years of version upgrades (plus five years of security patches), is definitely the better option from the software and security standpoint. All that said, you don't have to go out of your way to upgrade just yet if you have the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

Can I still use a Galaxy S9?

Thanks to its Snapdragon 845 chip, the S9 should still feel quick for another couple of years. And even though this phone is not receiving any more major Android OS updates, you can still expect Samsung to release security patches that will keep this phone safe.
