The best Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus accessories
Now that Samsung has taken the curtains off its 2018 flagship – Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus – here’s a look at the official Samsung accessories that are available for the two smartphones.
The availability of these accessories, as well as the color variants in which these are offered, will, of course, differ by regions and markets.
Covers
S-View Flip Cover
The flip cover allows you to reply to notifications and check your display easily through the clear case, while it stays clear with a fingerprint prevention coating. You can also fold the cover to prop up your phone while watching a video for example.
LED Wallet Cover (LED View Cover in the UK)
This cover gives you easy to read notifications through the cover and allows you to choose personalized icons to add some fun to your alerts.
Alcantara Cover
It sports a layer of premium protection with a soft suede-like fabric that’s often seen inside luxury cars (and Microsoft Surface keyboards!) and offers an easy grip while protecting it.
Rugged Protective Cover
It’s sleek yet offers heavy-duty protection and has been drop tested and granted a military-grade rating. You can also prop it up with the detachable kickstand to watch at a comfortable landscape angle.
Hyperknit Cover
Made from the same material as your favorite sneakers, this sporty cover boasts of a lightweight fabric that ensures a comfortable, easy grip without adding bulk to your phone.
Silicone Cover
The basic silicone case is soft and super smooth to the touch while offering a safe grip.
Connectivity
Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand
Samsung is offering two variants of wireless chargers – a Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand and a Fast Charge Wireless Charging Convertible. The latter can be used as a pad to set your phone down, or you can stand it up to keep your phone at an optimal viewing angle.
Wireless Charger Duo
This Samsung wireless charger is designed to not only charge up the Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus, but also charge up a smartwatch like the many Samsung Gear or Galaxy wearable devices you can buy at the same time.
Portable Battery Pack
Samsung also sells its own Portable Battery Pack with 5100mAh capacity to give your phone a boost while on the move. It’s available in navy blue and silver colors.
DeX pad
Want to turn your Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus into a work PC? The Samsung DeX Pad accessory will work with both phones to do just that. Just connect the smartphone to the DeX dock, and then connect the dock to a PC monitor, keyboard and mouse. The phone’s UI will then show up on the monitor as a Windows-like desktop UI, ready for you to do some word processing, fill out some spreadsheets and more.
Audio
Earphones tuned by AKG
These pair of Earphones tuned by AKG have 8mm and 11mm units for clear, balanced sound and sport an ergonomic design that fits your ears better.
Samsung Gear IconX Earphones
If you want to get a wireless pair of earphones for your new Samsung Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus the Samsung Gear IconX will do just nicely. The Bluetooth earbuds will last for up to seven hours when listening to music, and it even supports voice commands via Samsung’s in-house digital assistant Bixby. Best of all, it comes in black, gray and even pink colors.
Entertainment
Samsung Gear VR headset and controller
Want to play around with virtual reality, but don’t have a high-end PC or an expensive headset? The Samsung Gear VR headset, co-developed with Oculus, may be for you. Just put your Galaxy S9 or S9 Plus inside the headset and use the included controller to play lots of cool VR games and experiences without having to pay an arm or a leg to do so.
Gear 360 camera
If you love your new Gear VR headset and decide you want to make 360-degree video content on your own, you are in luck. The Samsung Gear 360 stand-alone camera allows you to take full 360-degree videos in 4K resolution, plus pictures in 15MP.
Smartwatches and fitness wearables
Samsung Galaxy Watch
The newest member of the Samsung smartwatch family, the Galaxy Watch is an excellent mobile wearable device with a colorful display, solid battery life, a host of useful smartwatch and fitness features and support for Samsung Pay.
Samsung Gear Fit 2/Fit 2 Pro/Gear Sport fitness wearables
If you just want a device to monitor your fitness stats, then Samsung has a number of them to check out, including the older Gear Fit 2, and the more recent Fit 2 Pro, both of which have a 1.5-inch rectangular display. The Gear Sport has a smartwatch-like circular display but is more of a fitness device.
