The wait is over. The new flagship phones from Samsung has finally been unveiled; introducing the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+.
“The way we use our smartphones has changed as communication and self-expression has evolved,”
said DJ Koh, president and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division, Samsung Electronics.
“With the Galaxy S9 and S9+, we have reimagined the smartphone camera. Not only does the Galaxy S9 and S9+ enable consumers to shoot the best photos and videos anywhere, it’s a smartphone that’s designed to help them connect to others and express themselves in a way that’s unique and personal to them.”
He added.
The S9 and S9+ looks just like its predecessor, they even have the same button locations. With a tagline of Camera Reimagined, you can well be sure that it will have an excellent camera. The rear camera has a Double Aperture system, you can choose between the f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures. The device is also able to shoot super slow-mo footage at 960 fps.
