What do you make of the new phone?
There are two types of people in this world – iPhone people and Samsung people. Yes, most tend to fall into one of the two categories, however, it looks like some might be changing teams thanks to the latest release from Samsung.
The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ have finally be revealed online and the reaction has been less than positive.
Galaxy S9 colour options. Few cosmetic changes beyond the S8 other than fingerprint sensor placement but lots on incremental improvements. #MWC18 #GalaxyS9 pic.twitter.com/aZqTrXN7LM

The company unveiled the new phone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and boasted a wide colour range.
It was the coral blue and lilac purple that had people talking and it caused more anger than you might expect.
Was planning on getting the Samsung Galaxy S9 but after seeing the colour selection… I will wait.

Why is it so hard for samsung to make a pretty colour like copper or rose gold…. they always come with the ugliest shades of pink and blue so I keep picking boring ass white or black phones.. #GalaxyS9

Yes, the topic quickly began trending on Twitter and it was mostly negative reviews of the colourful choices.
The newest version in the Galaxy range has obviously kept the classic black and grey models but has added some colourful alternatives.
The phone’s spec was the last thing on people’s minds when Samsung revealed the upgrade, however, people were quick to offer a solution to the unhappiness about the new colours.
What is everybody whining about with the #GalaxyS9 colour options? Everybody slaps a case on a new phone anyway? #1stWorld Problem

Most people will put a case on their #GalaxyS9 #GalaxyS9TH #S9, meaning most won’t be able to see the colour of their device, yet still complain because it doesn’t come in applesauce or pine top as colour options
