Once again Samsung is back with a new range of Galaxy flagship smartphones: the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. When compared to their predecessors both these phones might not be the biggest upgrade but they are better than having to wait longer for new devices.
Among the two, Galaxy S9 Plus is considered to be more interesting with some improvements in the camera department and that is the reason Samsung calls it as ‘reimagined’.
Launched with the all-new Android 8.0 Oreo OS, Galaxy S9 Plus features a curved glass panels on the front and back, separated by an aluminum frame. It features a 6.2 inches of curved super AMOLED screen with 1440 x 2960 pixels of resolution.
Globally, it is powered by 64 bit of Octa-core Samsung Exynos 9810 processor while in the USA and China it comes with 64 bit of Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor.
It has a 6 GB RAM which is more than Galaxy S9 while the internal storage can be expanded via micro SD up to an extra 400 GB. As compared to Galaxy S8 Plus, the AKG tuned dual speakers in S9+ are 1.4 times louder which is super cool.
When it comes to the camera, Samsung has improved its cameras a lot in the last few years. Moreover, it also features an amazing 12 + 12 megapixel of dual rear camera which can switch between f/1.5 aperture and f/2.4 aperture, similar to how larger cameras work.
Similar to Apple’s Animoji, Samsung has introduced AR Emoji which is a self-customized avatar that can either be a caricature of oneself or a completely different thing altogether.
One more eye-catchy feature is the GIF creator which is a really fun way to extract up to six seconds of any video and convert into GIF which can be shared on any platform.
One of the smaller improvements to Samsung’s launcher is that both the app drawer and home screen can now be used in landscape orientation. The Bixby button is the most interesting feature in Galaxy S9 Plus so far.
