The Galaxy S9 and S9+ have nearly identical features compared to the older S8 models, with the same display sizes and aspect ratio. One highly regarded change to distinguish between the models is the location of the fingerprint sensor. While the S8's sensor is found beside the camera, the S9's is directly underneath it, similar to the A series. Most notably, the S9 line is equipped with several camera improvements over the S8.

The phone received generally favorable reviews, with critics mostly noting the enhanced camera and better positioned fingerprint scanner. Critics, however, still criticize the phone being too similar to its predecessor. It is available in seven colours (Lilac Purple, Midnight Black, Titanium Gray, Coral Blue, Sunrise Gold, Burgundy Red, and Polaris Blue). It was succeeded by the Galaxy S10 line in March 2019.
