Galaxy S9: Biggest letdowns

2018-02-26
a galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus got some welcome upgrades in fact the camera alone may be reason enough to entice a lot of fans but the rest doesn't seem to have changed much from its predecessors and there are a few things we wish Samsung would have done differently the cameras on the s 9s are reaching pro level with features like a dual aperture lens and super slo-mo but for DSLR style portraits you're gonna have to upgrade to the s 9 Plus this year Samsung pulled an apple and reserved the dual lens camera setup for the larger more expensive device okay so maybe flexible screens was a stretch but when your biggest design change is moving the fingerprint scanner then you know you're gonna get called out the curves and the glass make Galaxy phones look great but they also make them a lot more fragile so why not swap out the back with a sturdy and right aerial other manufacturers are using ceramic titanium stainless steel or if you really want to keep the glass then make it out of this Samson may have fixed one of the biggest complaints about the fingerprint scanner by placing it below the camera but it's still not quite where it could be inside the display and it's not just a rumor anymore Bebo's phone proved that the technology is already out there yes nine has facial recognition to unlock and create an emojis just like the iPhone 10 but the iPhone uses a depth sensing camera the facial recognition features that power the s9 SAR emojis and intelligent scan are 2d and not at the level you would want to take full advantage of these features and Samsung did not get rid of the Bigsby button the s9 fixes one of the biggest design complaints but the other one still remains a designated button for an assistant you may not want to use it's the hardware equivalent of pre-installed apps and you still can't reconfigure it to do other things like turn on your flashlight or access your camera quick charge on the s9 hasn't gotten any quicker it's still using the same standard from three years ago when there's now a quick charge for plus out on the market that would bring an even faster charge to the s9 or Samson could take a page out of the 1 plus handbook and create its own proprietary fast charging solution like - wishlist aside the s 9 and s 9 plus are still gonna be the phones to beat going into 2018 so check out cnet.com for our full review
