2 Reasons to Pre-Order the Galaxy S9 & 4 Reasons Not To

Putting in a Samsung Galaxy S9 pre-order might be tempting, but some of you will be better off waiting a few more days or a few more weeks before committing to the new flagship.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ look a lot like their predecessors, but don’t let that fool you. Samsung’s new flagships pack a ton of horsepower.

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ come with an assortment of upgrades including top of the line cameras, big beautiful displays, souped up software including Android Oreo, tons of RAM, state-of-the-art processors, fast wireless charging, and stereo speakers for those that love to watch movies and play games.

The Galaxy S9 looks like it’ll be a formidable opponent for top tier devices like the iPhone X, iPhone 8, and Google’s Pixel 2. It’ll be expensive, but it should have a spot on your shopping list if you’re in the hunt for a new device this year.

You won’t have to wait long to buy the Galaxy S9 or the larger Galaxy S9+. The Galaxy S9 release date is set for March 16th, but you’ll be able to buy it earlier than that thanks to pre-orders. Galaxy S9 pre-orders are live in the United States and other countries around the world.

There are some benefits to pre-ordering Galaxy phones, but there are also some downsides you should be aware of. We’ll take you through both sides in this guide to pre-ordering the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.
