Last year, Samsung surprised everyone with its Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +, although flaws were found in them.
Therefore, Samsung introduced
Design
Let's start with the look. S9, especially in the new purple color, looks amazing. It is in perfect shape, smooth and almost identical to last year's S8, but slightly lower, and the fingerprint sensor is now in a more convenient place under the camera. We’ll talk more about the sensor.

And no recess. Moreover, Samsung decided not to follow the trends and left a 3.5mm headphone jack. The company did not need to add a notch to the screen in order to position the sensors on it.
The iris face recognition system works like thissame as in previous flagships, i.e. Not perfect. In addition, it can now work in combination with standard camera-based face recognition. This feature is called “Intelligent Scan” and is a bit faster. However, companies are still far from the iPhone X with Face ID. Unsuccessful lighting alone makes it much easier and faster to simply use the fingerprint sensor. This can even be done while you take the smartphone out of your pocket.
Camera
The main improvement Samsung has made to itsThe new flagship is the S9 front camera. Moreover, the S9 + has a second telephoto lens, but more on that another time. The main camera of the base model received a Fast2L3 sensor, which helps to save RAM.
Data can now be captured andprocess faster i.e. You don’t have to wait for the processor and RAM to collect pixel information. A separate camera RAM is responsible for this, and pictures can now be taken much faster. S9 can instantly combine up to 12 frames for the best result, as well as process and analyze them to suppress noise.
You can also shoot video at 960 frames / s in720p quality. This is the level of professional cameras that fits in your pocket. The company added a system that responds to movement in the frame and automatically starts shooting. However, for a successful video you will need good lighting and more patience. It is unlikely that the function will be useful, but you can definitely play around with it.
SystemSamsung
This is a smartphone from Samsung, therefore, complete withyou get a lot of standard services and applications. Starting from the Bixby system, which most users consider useless, and ending with constant requests to log in to your Samsung account. Anyone will eventually give up. In addition, you get:
- Samsung Pay / Google Pay
- Samsung Calendar / Google Calendar
- Samsung Mail / Google Gmail
- Samsung / Google Chrome Internet
- Samsung Gallery / Google Photos
- Samsung Galaxy / Google Play Store apps
In addition, there are Samsung services thatThey work constantly, although you never use them. These are Samsung Cloud, Samsung Health, Samsung Reminder, Samsung Notes, Samsung Themes, etc. All of them work in the background always from the moment the smartphone is launched, and disabling them is not so simple.
In general, we can conclude that the new flagship retained all the necessary design elements of the Galaxy S8, and also received several changes that made it even better.
