Samsung Galaxy S9: the Overview

The most expected smartphone in the first half of 2018, finally, became public: on February 25 in Barcelona took place a presentation of the new Galaxy S9. Let’s look at all the main chips of the new Samsung flagship.

Camera with variable aperture

The most significant innovation of the Galaxy S9 is the camera, which, according to the manufacturer, can now adapt to external lighting. It uses an innovative lens with variable aperture, which automatically switches between f / 1.5 and f / 2.4 modes. In the first case, the diaphragm expands, allowing more light to reach the matrix. This provides brighter and lighter shots in low light. In the second, on the contrary, it narrows.

The main 12-megapixel module is equipped with an optical stabilization system. On the front panel 8-megapixel front camera with aperture f / 1.7 is placed.

Videography 960 fps

Thanks to the use of fast flash memory, the gadget can shoot HD video with an incredible frequency of 960 fps. (Super Slo-Mo). The maximum video resolution is UltraHD 4K (60 fps, HEVC format).

Selphimoji

The Selphimoji function opens a new chapter in the mobile entertainment section. Samsung Galaxy S9 analyzes the face of the owner, scanning it with a camera and infrared sensors, and then creates a virtual three-dimensional model with the same facial expressions. Animated videos that convey your emotions can be saved as a video or animation, and then you can share them with friends.

Display

The curved 5.8-inch Infinity display with Quad HD + resolution and the aspect ratio of 18.5: 9 occupies virtually the entire front panel. The side frames remained thin, and they even decreased above and below the display. The screen is based on the improved Super AMOLED matrix, which has excellent color rendition and higher brightness compared to last year’s model.

Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810

The heart of the new Galaxy S9 and S9 +, depending on the region of supply, are the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor (8 cores, 2.9 GHz) or similar chip Samsung Exynos 9810. These processors have record performance and huge potential. The amount of RAM Galaxy S9 is 4 GB, in the older model it is increased to 6 GB.

Face Detection

In the flagships of 2017, as a biometric protection manufacturer began to apply not only a fingerprint scanner but also an iris scanning system. In the new Galaxy S9 and S9 + this feature was added to the facial recognition technology.

Now the gadget does not need to constantly scan your eyes, because this method of authentication used to take more time than using a fingerprint scan. To unlock the display, it’s enough to activate the screen: if your face is in the capture zone of the camera and the IR emitter, the unit will be instantly removed. It is very convenient that this function works regardless of the presence of glasses, bristles or hats.

Sound

Another innovation was the stereodynamics from the flagship in the world of sound – the company AKG. They are front-oriented, stand out with support for Dolby Atmos mode and in general sound 40% louder than the speakers of the previous model. Even with the maximum volume setting, the sound remains balanced and crystal clear.

Moisture Protection

Like the ex-flagship Samsung, the new Galaxy S has the highest level of dust and moisture protection IP68. You can use them for half an hour in water at a depth of up to 1.5 m – for example, for shooting underwater video. Recall that the iPhone X in this regard is losing to Samsung devices since it is protected by the IP67 standard.
