Great high end phone
So far I'm very happy with my upgrade to the Galaxy S9. I recently switched carriers and used that as an excuse to upgrade my equipment as well. The phone has added facial recognition to unlock, has good front (8MP) and rear facing (12MP) cameras, and access to the Google play library of Apps. The 64GB of internal memory is twice that of my S7, and can be expanded by 256 MB with a microSD card. I'm still learning about the new features, but thumbs up so far!

Glad I chose this phone!
This is the first android phone I've had in almost 5 years. I really like the features and the size. The only thing I'm a little disappointed with is the battery life. I do think that it has a lot to do with the fact that it's a refurbished phone and not new. I also tend to use my phone more than I probably should, but not THAT long that the battery dies within two days. Other than that, I love this phone. It was definitely an upgrade in storage, picture resolution, and ease of typing.
