Will the Galaxy S9 still support banking apps in 2026?

Yes, most banking apps (e.g., Swedbank, SEB) support the Android 10 version, but for security reasons, it is advisable to keep apps updated.

How long does the Galaxy S9 battery last with normal use?

As it is an older model with a 3000 mAh battery, it will last about 8-10 hours with moderate use. With active use, it may require charging mid-day.

Is the Galaxy S9 waterproof?

The Galaxy S9 has an IP68 rating, meaning it is dust and water-resistant up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. For refurbished devices, the seals may no longer be like new.

Does this phone have a headphone jack?

Yes, the Galaxy S9 is one of the last Samsung flagships to feature a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

Does the Galaxy S9 support a memory card?

Yes, the device has a microSD card slot that supports memory cards up to 400GB.

Is the camera quality still sufficient in 2026?

In daylight, the S9 still takes very good photos thanks to its variable aperture (f/1.5-2.4). However, night shots and zoom lag behind today's mid-range phones.
