Samsung Galaxy S9 (right) and Galaxy S9 + (left).
The high end this year is incredible. Virtually all manufacturers have adopted the trends of this year, such as the widescreen, dual cameras, facial recognition or AMOLED panel. Samsung is one of the first manufacturers to present its high-end device, the Samsung Galaxy S9, which is also accompanied by its Galaxy S9 + version. This model does not go unnoticed despite the most recent launches, nor should it. It is a very good option and we tell you 9 reasons to buy it.
Two models to choose from
Samsung started releasing two versions of the same device with the Galaxy S8. In this case, we also have two versions to choose from. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 +. They are very similar to each other, but they have some differences depending on the type of audience. The Samsung Galaxy S9 is more compact, and has a single camera. On the other hand, the Galaxy S9 + has a larger screen, and has two cameras that allow us to take pictures with a portrait effect and 2X zoom. Of course, the Galaxy S9 is priced cheaper than the Plus model.
Large widescreen display
Samsung Galaxy S9 screen.
As we said, most manufacturers have implemented the trends in their high range. Samsung would not be less, and both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 Plus incorporate a panoramic screen. That is, 18: 9. The panel is SuperAMOLED, with pure blacks and bright colors. In addition, it has hardly any frames on the front. Not even notch, that notch at the top that many manufacturers are betting on.
The screen of the Samsung Galaxy S9 has a size of 5.8 inches, with a QHD + resolution (1440 x 2960). That of the Plus model, is 6.2 inches, maintains the QHD + resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels.
Design
Back and front of the Samsung Galaxy S9 +.
Both the Samsung Galaxy and the Galaxy S9 + have a continuous design, but with very premium finishes. The back is made of glass with different finishes. In addition, it has a slight curvature at the edges, in order to achieve a better grip. On the other hand, the camera is located in a vertical position, with the fingerprint reader below. The frames are made of aluminum, with a glossy finish. The front has hardly any frames. In addition, we continue to see the spectacular effect achieved by the double curved screen.
Without a doubt, the most striking thing about the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + are their colors . We can choose between black or a very bright purple.
More advanced cameras
Dual lens on the Samsung Galaxy S9 +.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is a very good photographic exponent. The firm has added a 12-megapixel main camera in the normal model, and a double camera of the same resolution in the Plus model . Both with variable lens of f / 1.5 and f / 2.4.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is capable of detecting low-light situations and adjusting the aperture to take pictures with more light. In addition, thanks to Artificial Intelligence, they detect different situations and adapt the parameters in order to obtain the best photograph.
In the Plus model we can take photos with a blur effect. As well as 2X Zoom.
Super slow motion
One of the new features of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + is the ability to record in slow motion (Super Slow Motion) at 960 fps and in HD resolution. This mode achieves very interesting results. In addition, the manufacturer has added the ability to edit the clip with effects, sounds or by trimming the time.
3D avatars
Samsung Galaxy S9, 3D avatar.
Thanks to the facial recognition of the camera, we can create 3D avatars that look like us. In addition, it recognizes our expressions live. That is, if we smile, the avatar will also smile. This feature has very interesting options, such as the ability to customize clothing, hair, skin color, etc. Furthermore, they are universal. That is, we can send them through any application, without the need for the person to whom we send the avatar to have a Samsung device. They are sent via GIF or video file.
Samsung Dex, the base that turns it into a computer
Samsung Dex is a kind of module that allows us to connect the Samsung Galaxy S9 and turn it into a computer. The base is sold separately, but it is a very interesting option if we work with our mobile device. We will only need a monitor and keyboard, since the device will serve as a mouse. Once connected, the device will detect the monitor and configure the screen display automatically.
Dolby sound and headphone jack
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + include dual stereo speakers. One located in the lower part and another in the upper part of the front. In addition, they include Dolby Atmos technology, with more surround sound and the possibility of configuring it according to different situations (film, music…). Finally, we must highlight that the Galaxy S9 (also the Plus model) includes a headphone jack.
Extras that make it a true high-end
Finally, we must mention the extras that this device includes. Which, in addition, other manufacturers do not implement it. First of all, wireless charging. The Samsung Galaxy S9 allows us to charge the device by induction, without the need for cables. The good thing about this charge is that it is universal, we can use any certified charger. Additionally, Samsung sells its own fast-charging docks. Another extra? Complete water resistance always comes in handy. Finally, mention Samsung Knox, Samsung's security platform.
