It’s been about six months since Samsung introduced its latest flagship smartphone,  the Samsung Galaxy S10+,  and it’s understandable that the price is still pretty steep. If you are aiming for a flagship phone but unwilling to shell out over $800 on the S10+, then the

Samsung Galaxy S9 Unlocked (64GB)

is your best alternative. Normally priced at $600, Amazon dropped it to only $492, giving you an enormous discount of $108. If you can’t wait for the Galaxy Fold to come out — or are still not convinced it’s a better design — then this cheaper alternative might be best for you.

True, this is not the newest product from Samsung, but the Galaxy S9 is their former best smartphone prior to the release of the S10 series. It means that you’re still getting a flagship quality smartphone comparable to the iPhone XS but at a more affordable price. It has a remarkable Infinity display, an exceptional camera, and a lightning-fast processor that will take you to another level of digital experience.

The Galaxy S9 has a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED screen — the S9 Plus bigger screen is 6.2 — with Quad HD+ resolution. Its Infinity Display presents more distinct image quality and brighter colors that let you appreciate the edge-to-edge finish even more. Samsung also added the Dolby Atmos stereo speakers in coordination with AKG, which produces more powerful and sharper sound to achieve that immersive cinema-like experience.

This premium smartphone has a SuperSpeed Dual-Pixel 12-megapixel rear shooter and an 8-megapixel front cam great for taking pictures, selfies, and video calls. It has a Pro Mode feature that allows you to manually adjust the camera settings and shoot like an expert. The cameras have autofocus range and can film videos with 4K UHD resolution at 60 frames per second (fps). The G9 can also do slow-motion video recording up to 960fps, so you can savor every movement frame by frame.

With an IP68 rating, The Samsung S9 can endure rain, spills, and splashes. It is water-resistant up to 5 feet but is not waterproof, so avoid dunking it in water as much as possible. And you can free yourself from tangled cables and get back on your game in no time as the S9 supports wireless fast charging.

This is your chance to grab this wonderful deal from Amazon. You can

get the Samsung Galaxy S9 unlocked (64GB, Midnight Black)

today for only $492 from its original price of $600, and you’ll get a huge $108 discount.
