Mobile phone manufacturing giant Samsung has launched its new mobile phone duo – the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.
Here are the features of the Samsung Galaxy S9:
• It runs on the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor
• Available in 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage and support for microSD cards
• 3,000mAh
• 5.8-inch QHD+ Curved Super AMOLED 18.5:9 display
• IP68 dust and water resistant
• Supports both fast wired and fast wireless charging.
• Camera comes with a mechanically adjustable aperture which can switch between a very bright f/1.5 to a smaller f/2.4 depending on exposure conditions. The bright aperture lets in 28 percent more light than the S8’s f/1.7 lens, and the f/2.4 aperture is said to help prevent overexposure in bright scenes, such as a sunny outdoor day.
• 12-megapixel camera sensor includes second-generation dual-pixel autofocus tech for faster and more reliable focusing, improved multi-frame noise reduction for a claimed 30 percent better low-light performance, and the ability to record slow-motion video at up to 960 frames per second at 720p resolution.
• Android 8 Oreo
• Gigabit LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11ac, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC
