Best power bank for the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+

 

 

 

Your quest for the best power bank for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ ends here. There are quite a few options available for customers who want reliable external battery packs that they can carry around with them and charge their new Samsung flagship as and when required. This list has some of the best options available right now that provide the good value for money.

Many customers will think about purchasing an external battery pack for Galaxy S9 after they pick up the device. That’s because the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have the same battery capacities as their predecessors and official Galaxy S9 battery life stats aren’t that different from the Galaxy S8.

 

Battery cases vs power banks: What’s better?

 

It depends on your preference. External power banks tend to have higher capacities and they can be used to charge multiple devices. You can chuck one in your bag and forget about it. Battery cases snap on to the device and add significant weight and heft to it. Sure, you can charge up the device and then take off the case but then you’re left without protection on the phone. With an external battery pack, you can use any case and simply disconnect it when you don’t want to carry it around. Moreover, heavy users can get multiple charge cycles out of an external power bank while most battery cases are only good for one full additional charge cycle.

 

Best power bank for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+

 

ZeroLemon ToughJuice

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ZeroLemon ToughJuice is first on our list of best power bank for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. It has a very high capacity of 30,000mAh, that’s ten times more than the Galaxy S9’s 3,000mAh battery. It can charge up to five devices simultaneously through its one dedicated USB Type-C port for Fast Charging and four USB Type-A ports.

The one downside here is that it has a microUSB input so you can’t use your Galaxy S9’s charger to fill up this power bank. It’s also the most expensive option on our list as it’s priced at $54.99 on Amazon.

 

RAVPower

 

 

 

 

 

 

Consider the 20,100mAh RAVPower USB Type-C power bank if you don’t require ten times the battery capacity of your Galaxy S9. It supports both Quick Charge 3.0 and USB Type-C input/output so the power bank can be fully charged in under five hours and it can charge compatible smartphones from 0 to 80 percent in under 60 minutes.

The 20,100mAh battery is packed inside a body that has a classic matte design with a scratch resistant surface. One of the best-selling external battery packs on Amazon, it’s available for $49.99.

 

Samsung Fast Charge Battery Pack

 

 

 

 

 

 

This power bank is obviously a bit expensive despite its low capacity because it’s Samsung-branded. The 5,100mAh Samsung Fast Charge Portable Battery Pack provides up to two additional full charges for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. It supports Samsung Fast Charge which enables compatible devices like the Galaxy S9 to charge up to 1.5x faster than standard USB charging options. It can also be used to charge any other USB compatible device. The battery pack supports pass-through charging which means you can charge it and your phone at the same time. Just connect your phone to the portable battery and then start charging the battery.

It also has USB Type-C input which will let you use your Galaxy S9’s charger to charge the battery pack. It’s available from Amazon for $39.

 

Anker PowerCore

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Anker PowerCore earns a place on this list of best power bank for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ because the company is well regarded for its quality accessories. This power bank has a 13,000mAh capacity which is enough to provide almost four full charge cycles for the new Samsung flagship. It has USB Type-C input which means you can use your phone’s charger to fill up this power bank. It doesn’t support Qualcomm Quick Charge but can deliver a max speed charge of up to 3A with Anker’s Power IQ and VoltageBoost technologies.

Measuring 3.8 x 3.1 x 0.8 and weighing 8.5 oz, it’s also quite easy to carry around. The Anker PowerCore is available from Amazon for $29.99.

 

Heloideo Power Bank

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the cheapest and also the most unique option on our list of best power bank for Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. It may only have a 5,000mah capacity but this slim power bank has a built-in AC plug which means you can directly plug it into a wall outlet to charge it up. It has a built-in USB Type-C cable within its 0.6-inch thin body. You can buy it on Amazon for $27.99.

❤ Samsung Galaxy S9 IP68 Water Resistant Rating Explained

Galaxy Expert , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

 

 

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are the Korean company’s flagship handset for 2018. They pack in iterative upgrades over their predecessor, though Samsung has paid some serious attention to the camera this time around. Like previous flagship Galaxy devices, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ also feature an IP68 certification which makes them dust and water-resistant. 

But before you go around dunking the Galaxy S9 into water or any kind of liquid thinking its IP68 certification makes it waterproof, there are a few things you need to know. Just because the Galaxy S9 features an IP68 certification, it does not mean that Samsung will honor any kind of liquid damage to the device.

 

What does the IP68 certification of Galaxy S9 stand for?

 

The ‘IP’ in the ‘IP68’ certification of the S9 means Ingress Protection, with the 68 denoting the level of protection. The ‘6’ in the ‘IP68’ denotes that the Galaxy S9 is fully protected against any kind of dust ingress. As for the ‘8’, it denotes the handset is resistant to water ingress for 30 mins for up to 1.5m depth but only in fresh water. This is the highest level of IP certification available for consumer devices. This is higher than that of the iPhone X and iPhone 8 but in line with other Android flagships that are also water-resistant. Almost every major flagship handset launched in the last year or two has featured a certain degree of water and dust-resistance.

 

The Fine Print

 

The important thing to note, however, is that the IP rating of the device does not make it resistant to all and any kind of liquid. Pressurised water can easily breach the water resistance seal of the handset and seep inside it thereby damaging the internals. Similarly, salt/sea water is a strict no-no. Do NOT take your Galaxy S9 with you to the beach for swimming thinking this will cause it no harm. Seawater can cause a lot of damage to water resistant devices. If you do end up dropping your Galaxy S9 in salt/sea water, quickly take it out and even if it is working fine, wash it thoroughly with fresh water and then dry it properly. Do this even if the handset is working fine after being dunked in seawater. The damage caused might not be immediately visible but it will after a few hours. If you spill any other liquid on the handset, do the same thing as they can wear off the oleophobic coating on its display.

 

Wear and Tear

 

The Galaxy S9 achieve its IP68 certification by sealing the internal chassis using rubber gaskets. The IP certification of the device will deteriorate over time, though this should not make a huge difference. Most importantly, though, if you drop your Galaxy S9 and its frame or the structure of the chassis is compromised in any way, its IP rating can be affected. Similarly, if the front or rear glass panel of the device shatters, the IP rating of the device will be affected. In such cases, you should always be careful of dunking the phone in water as too much pressure can end up breaching the internal sealing.

 

No Warranty

 

Irrespective of the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S9 is IP68 certified and Samsung proudly highlights this in its marketing materials, the company does not cover the handset for any kind of liquid damage under its one-year limited warranty. So, if you somehow do end up causing liquid damage to your Galaxy S9, don’t expect the Korean to replace or fix your phone for free.

Watch the Galaxy S9 camera switch aperture in this short video

 

 

One of the major highlights of the Galaxy S9 (and S9+) is a camera with variable aperture. Well, to be more precise, the camera can switch between two fixed apertures, depending on how bright or dark a scene is, which is why Samsung is calling it Dual Aperture. The Galaxy S9 also has the largest/widest aperture – f/1.5 – seen on a phone. A lower value indicates a larger aperture, which means the opening through which light enters the camera is wider. As a result, compared to the f/1.7 cameras seen on Samsung flagships until now, the Galaxy S9 can capture brighter photos in low-light situations.

 

Dual Aperture system enables great photos in bright and dark scenes

 

A wider aperture also results in shallower depth of field, enabling the camera to blur out the background to a higher degree than what a narrower aperture would allow. When things are too bright, however, a wider aperture can be detrimental, and since the Galaxy S9’s camera can go as wide as f/1.5, a dual-aperture system becomes necessary. That is why the S9 and S9+ can switch to a narrower aperture of f/2.4 when the occasion calls for it, resulting in sharper photos that aren’t as overexposed as they would be if the aperture was fixed at f/1.5.

Since the Galaxy S9 camera has a physically adjusting aperture, one can see how the lens opening becomes wider or narrower when aperture is switched between f/1.5 and f/2.4. We have had a few requests asking us to post a video showing the changing aperture, and while many of you have probably seen it in action in videos from other publications already, we have also uploaded our own for those who haven’t.

Check it out below, and watch out for our official Galaxy S9 review to see how well the Dual Aperture camera works in practice. Also check out a few super slow-motion videos taken on the Galaxy S9 and read our hands-on experience with both the S9 and S9+.

 

 

Galaxy S9+ may not be here yet but these convincing clones already are

Samsung has merely confirmed that it’s going to unveil the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at the Mobile World Congress 2018 next month. It will confirm at the event when the handset is going to be released in key markets. The release timeframe for other markets will subsequently be confirmed by the company’s regional divisions.

It’s going to be a considerable wait for Samsung’s new flagship smartphones. That’s one of the reasons why clones of popular flagship smartphones tend to do well, the other being that they’re cheap and not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a smartphone. Samsung may not have released the Galaxy S9+ yet but very convincing clones are now surfacing in China.

 

Galaxy S9+ clones

It has only been a few weeks since we saw a video of a very convincing clone of the Galaxy S9+. The manufacturer has meticulously copied the key design elements right down to the dual camera at the back. This isn’t an anomaly. We saw this happen last year with the Galaxy S8 as well.

That’s what we see with this latest pair of Galaxy S9+ clones as well, demonstrated in this video in both Black and Gold or Champagne hues. Even the user interface has been copied to appear quite similar to the real thing.

There are some obvious giveaways. For starters, the device is much too thick and the display isn’t quite as bezel-less as it’s going to be on the real Galaxy S9+. The unusually chunky power button gives up the jig as well.

These Galaxy S9+ clones can be found for a fraction of the price in China. Rest assured, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will be expensive like their predecessors. There’s a whole market that prefers clones and they’ll certainly be happy with the quality with which these Galaxy S9 clones have been made.

Nothing beats the real thing though, obviously.

 

 

 

 

It’s not uncommon for purported images and videos of an upcoming flagship handset to leak prior to the official launch. However, they’re not always accurate. While they do provide valuable hints about the upcoming device in some cases, some of them are just without any merit. That’s the case with this new Galaxy S9+ hands-on video which is circulating online today.

 

Fake Galaxy S9+ hands-on video

We’re all anxious to see the new flagship smartphone from Samsung. Countless renders have already leaked online but we have yet to see a proper hands-on video being leaked ahead of the official announcement.

The only that’s circulating today features a very convincing copy of the Galaxy S9+. It does appear to be the real deal at first glance as it imitates the Infinity Display and the design language very well. It even has a dual camera system at the back. However, you can spot subtle clues that give up the secret.

For example, the bottom bezel is clearly thicker than what you’d expect on the Galaxy S9+. Moreover, the power button is excessively chunky for no apparent reason.

Look closely when the app drawer is opened and you’ll see the FM radio app which you won’t find on the real deal. You can’t spot Galaxy Apps, S Planner and Samsung Health apps. Even the camera app that’s shown in this video is different.

There’s absolutely no doubt that this a fake albeit a very convincing one. It wouldn’t be surprising if this fake starts being sold in China weeks before the Galaxy S9’s official announcement that’s expected to take place at MWC 2018 in February.
