Amazon is selling an old-school Samsung phone
Samsung and Apple were once as different as night and day. Over time, however, the South Koreans have come closer and closer to the cult manufacturer – not always to the delight of die-hard Samsung fans. If you are looking for an old-school Samsung cell phone, you can currently find it on Amazon.
Amazon sells refurbished Samsung Galaxy S9 for 189 euros
That’s more than four years Galaxy S9 already underway. Actually a case for the technology graveyard, right? Not necessarily. Because Amazon is currently selling the 2018 flagship from Samsung offered for 189 euros (view at Amazon).
The special thing about the offer: It is refurbished and in “excellent condition.” For potential buyers, this means, among other things, that the Galaxy S9 has been “professionally inspected, tested and cleaned” at Amazon, as the online retailer says. It also shows no signs of cosmetic damage and the battery still has more than 80 percent capacity. There is one from Amazon for this 1 year renewal guarantee.
But why should you go for a Samsung smartphone that is more than four years old when you can get the latest smartphones for the same money? The reasons are quickly explained, because the Galaxy S9 is an old-school Samsung smartphone. Means:
- headphone jack? Present.
- Expandable storage? Present.
- Fingerprint sensor on the back? Present.
- Power supply included? Present.
In addition, the Galaxy S9 was the last Samsung flagship without a notch or camera hole and, thanks to its 5.8-inch display, has very compact dimensions of 147.7 x 68.7 x 8.5 mm.

Samsung Galaxy S9 still good for everyday tasks
Even if the Galaxy S9 is certainly no longer the fastest smartphone, the Exynos 9810 and 4 GB of RAM should still offer enough power for everyday tasks. The same goes for the camera. There are no new Android updates for the Galaxy S9, buyers have to make do with Android 10. But Samsung still eliminates really nasty bugs today – as the example from February shows.
Short: If the headphone jack, expandable memory, compact dimensions, etc. are very important and want to spend little money at the same time, you can access the Galaxy S9 for 189 euros (see Amazon).
