chances are you probably already know quite a lot about the Samsung Galaxy S 9 and s 9 plus including the dual cameras on the back of the S name plus the dual aperture lens on both new phones and the relocation of the fingerprint reader to somewhere really sensible but I am here to tell you some things that you might not know about both phones one of the best new features is being able to respond to a notification when you're in any app just by swiping down to reveal the entire message and then responding within it if you don't want to see the message just swipe it away another feature that's new to the s 9 and s 9 plus is selfie focus this is what a regular selfie looks like but if I press this new button here on the side it will actually blur my background if I hold it at about arm's length so there you go a new feature it only uses one camera and not two for usual portrait modes so that means this is using software not hardware to create that soft focused effect both new phones come with a really high maximum screen resolution but did you know that they default to sort of a mid range it's still going to look really clear but if you want all of that detail you can go into the settings and adjust it yourself the Samsung Galaxy S 9 plus has a portrait mode you can blur the background to make your subject pop but did you know that you can actually save two copies so that when you take your picture you can choose the close-up or the wide-angle version decide which one you want to use or maybe even keep them both the S line and ask nine plus are Samsung's first phones to support a horizontal mode when you flip it but it isn't turned on by default so you're gonna have to go in the settings if you want it from the settings menu select display scroll to home screen and then at the bottom makes sure that portrait mode only is turned off and now you'll have a horizontal home screen this is really good for when you're watching video and you don't want to turn the phone and if you want to turn it off again it's pretty simple to just go into the quick settings and deselect auto rotate if you already have two accounts for one app and you don't want to switch between accounts there's an option called dual messenger which is hidden in the advanced feature settings that will download a second instance of that app for example Facebook that way you can flip between both accounts without having to switch your profile it will work with Facebook facebook Messenger whatsapp Skype viber and snapchat for example if you use a screen protector you might want to increase the touch sensitivity so that the phone can register your prints and track your actions through the thicker screen
