Naturally, all that glass makes for a slippery build, mandating a case if you’re not fond of the risks attached to dropping such a costly device. Samsung has opted for a matte finish for the metal rim and combined with the sober implementation of colors that the company has been going for since the Galaxy S8, it makes for a classier overall look. You can still see all the sensors (including the front camera) if you look at the right angle, but at least the iris sensor isn’t easily visible unless it’s lit up when scanning your eyes.ĭo any of these changes make a huge difference to how the S9 and S9+ feel in the hand? Not really, and both devices are as compact and comfortable to use as their predecessors given the screen sizes. The top bezel, meanwhile, has also been made darker to reduce the distraction caused by the array of sensors. The bottom bezel has gotten a more noticeable trimming, and if you’re one for uniformity, you will quickly notice the smaller lower bezel when the screen is on. Thanks to the re-positioned fingerprint sensor, Samsung says making the phones fatter was a necessity, which also enabled the company to keep the same battery capacities as the S8 and S8+.īut the S9 and S9+ are shorter than the S8 and S8+, and that’s because Samsung has ever so slightly made the bezels above and below the display narrower. There’s stronger metal on the S9 and S9+, and the glass is also more resilient. This year, Samsung is shamelessly accepting the fact that its new flagships are thicker and heavier than the ones that came before. Well, those and more questions will be answered in our Galaxy S9 review, so let’s get to it. The same goes for the stereo speakers, which have taken ages to make it to the Korean giant’s flagship lineup. Samsung says it hasn’t copied Apple’s Animoji, and while that may or may not be true, a lot of folks have wondered how AR Emoji works in practice. The same goes for AR Emoji, which lets you create emojis that look and act like you. It’s not a new feature for smartphones, but the company has been advertising it harder than the dual-aperture camera. That’s not all: Samsung also realized that slow-motion videos are a thing and have built in “super slow-motion” recording that takes videos at a whopping 960 frames per second. While every smartphone manufacturer claims to offer great low-light photos these days, Samsung is saying that “hey, we want you to take great photos even when there’s too much light falling on the camera,” that low-light shots aren’t the only ones that matter. Where the S7 and S7 edge introduced us to lightning-fast autofocus, the S9 and S9+ come with a camera that can switch between two different apertures. Also common between the S9 and S7 lineups is the introduction of a world-first smartphone camera feature. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are to the Galaxy S8 and S8+ what the S7 and S7 edge were to the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge: Refinements to an existing design that took the world by storm, with a few new features thrown in.
