is the perfect phone for business the Samsung Galaxy S 9 and s 9 plus the phone reimagined Aleksey we're back okay we're not we're not saying the board that video was boring we're not it's just that that would that's that's what leaked happened so that yesterday and it doesn't leave much to the imagination let's put it that way even honestly last week like everything that was out there was leaked from every speck possible so you know we know that the audience here is watching is smart as well so what we're gonna do is art all ten phone lines are literally filled because you are least if you also don't want to call and leave a message with us just use the hashtag see net live on Twitter and we'll look those up and address some of those questions as well from what we know right now but let's just uh start kind of going through the lines and see what we have this is someone calling from the six one oh that wanted to talk about what the evolution of the next couple of years the Samsung would look like welcome to the show C Night Live what's your name oh you have to put engage in my solo hello hey what's on the top how are we doing I'm good what's your name I'm Roman Rohan Rohan called like 10 minutes before the show actually started because he uses this tool called Twitter that I teased to call us what's going on my man what do you want to talk about today so I wanted to hear your thoughts on on the screen that's gonna have on the phone and kind of your thoughts on what evolutions gonna look like ever in many years well from the screen standpoint I mean if you even look at the form factor and the specs that we've seen the screen is basically we're looking at an SI tight honestly with you know the main difference in design wise is that the fingerprint sensor on the rear side is going to be placed below the camera lens not on the side of it and I think that's a huge that's a big I know it sounds subtle but it's a big step in usability of the fact that we phones that have had that fingerprint sensor kind of down in the middle on the rear sweet spot has always been better than putting it horizontally side with the camera so I think that if you talk about the evolution of the Samsung phone today is a minor incremental upgrade even from a standpoint of the battery life I know is gonna be basically the same 3000 for the milliampere hours for the s9 and then 3500 for the s9 plus that's exactly the same as the s8 and si plus based on what reports and rumors in everything that has been thrown out there so this is I don't know I don't know if you'd call this necessarily a huge evolution but it's more of a there's gonna be more software stuff here that we're expecting to see I know a lot of people were really excited about the prospect of having a fingerprint reader under the screen at CES we saw the vivo phone when that and I thought a lot of people were going to be going oh look Samsung could be the first you know big maker to actually have that possibly with the s9 I think from the looks of the leaks that's not gonna happen but I think if Rohan you were talking about like the evolution of the screen I think that's really the next logical step about what all these phone manufacturers need to do to kind of push the boundaries a little bit more we know that technology exists we know it can be there so we just want to see like when is actually the first kind of like big-name phone gonna have that released I'm I'm actually really excited that's the one thing that I think I'm super looking forward to in screen tech it is screen tech and it's kind of not but I kind of want to lump it all in the same thing I'm so excited for that yeah are you excited about anything specifically for this keynote it sounds like you are you a Samsung guy uh some I actually have an iPhone but I'm thinking of switching over there's a lot of people in your town probably not this iteration to be honest just because of what you're saying it's a very like iterative update it doesn't seem like there's anything too crazy so maybe the next iteration but nonetheless yeah I think I think I'm in in the camp of getting excited about the fingerprint reader going underneath the screen and I saw gumption stuff at CES with like clear pixels which is kind of interesting where the whole the whole oh the basically be the screen itself is almost transparent I think eventually we'll get somewhere in that realm which would be really interesting but and I think once we start implementing things like 3d touch which they have on all the Apple devices on that could be interesting as well just adding another dimension to the screen so yeah so I'm excited to see where things go over the next couple of years but but yet some good insight yeah you know I think 3d touch I've always said this it's still an underutilized interface because it's not ubiquitous people still don't really use it they don't even know it's there you know the tech world does but and I find it convenient I just thought that it would take off and be used in a lot more interesting ways then what it's it's a totally underutilized interface for me and I think other companies can take advantage of the fact that Apple put it out there you can obviously integrate it into other screens non Apple and kind of give it more get really unlock it it hasn't really been unleashed so yeah I I think the the hardware is there I think the software is just lacking right now yeah yeah I'm right there with you awesome if I'm a huge fan of all your stuff just when I call in I tweeted at you I saw that or actually I saw that Rohan but I didn't want to tweet back because I was actually preparing the show just a messing with the alright well hey thanks so much for calling and being a part of it all right it's good morning it's Sunday morning so we got some good tech stuff coming awesome cheers guys all right thank you all right Rohan first caller number one stunner for the day let's jump in these again we don't we don't have your names here so we kind of have an auto screening system right now cuz it's Sunday we just lost the computer very nicely because doesn't mind yeah let's go out here to the three four seven it looks like we're talking Joey and Samsung smart battery life what's up Joey good morning good morning how are you Brian big big big big fan thank you thank you so much what you want to talk about today basically why don't they move up the battery life to 35 Miller at 3500 milliamps on the regular s9 and then maybe 4,000 that seems got to be a big issue these days I have my thoughts but did you want to did you want to throw anything out there no I mean to be honest I don't know that much about Samsung's use of battery I mean I know this is definitely something that I think you have thoughts on Brian it's it's just something I think Samsung is very being obviously very conservative with pushing the battery just because of those no it's 70 exactly what I was saying so I think that there's obviously you know it there is the capability to go further and to increase the milliamp hours but I definitely know that Samsung is going to be very very conservative with what they're going to do just because of the history there I can definitely understand that as a consumer I mean I definitely want the most battery life out of my device but I think that they're gonna try and eat that out through software rather than necessarily like pushing up the physical ability of that battery - yeah Joe I think you make a great point like - what Lexi said right off the top right when I heard that it's clearly because we know what happened with the note 8 that our ultra sensitive about this could they pack in more juice probably but they need to kind of build back that reputation so nothing like that ever happens again on top of that the point that you speak to the most the number one thing that I think every consumer that is has a phone today wants not only better battery life like significantly badder better battery life whether it's an iPhone whether it's in a galaxy phone whether it's a pixel phone we still haven't seen how about this one of the mainstream flagship phones get crazy crazy better if I know the Moto um which which Motorola phone was it back and would had like about like a Dave during life I mean this is a couple years ago but we need to see stuff like give us a literally a full two day phone of battery life or even one and a half that's what's gonna be a game-changer what people would would even push them maybe to jump over to the side so I think to your point battery life battery battery life that's what we all want hopefully the galaxy Excel have that great next year baby we'll call back next year we'll see if it happens alright thank you for taking my pole all right thanks Joey Oh looks like we got Roger Chang on the line seen it what Roger what is your official title right now executive executive editor this is a very lofty title or I don't play all right but a Roger is over in Spain at Mobile World Congress here like at the actually arena we have a nice little photo of you right now but we want you to turn on your camera to see your beautiful mind again yeah my camera's on the connectivity is not so great I think that's why oh it's okay we're gonna use we're gonna use the power of your still photo and uh b-roll hey Roger a lot of stuff has been leaked out already about the s9 we know this but from your perspective being there and what you know what do you expectancy or what are maybe the things that could at least pique people's interest today and from their own teasers that the big focus is going to be on the camera it seems like they're gonna be teasing a little bit of augmented reality they they keep pushing us to download the unpacked app and I suspect that we'll be scanning a lot of things they've got these large black boards up hanging above the stage that I suspect will be 20 our cameras that they keep hitting at some magical AR experience so we'll see what that's about but I think most of most of us most of this talk it's gonna be about the camera how the camera performs in low light how camera performs where you're moving basically going after the deal what customers really care about it is camera and photo quality absolutely uh what do you what about it have you heard much about the decks pad you know their second kind of iteration of it we saw this like sneak peek trailer that showed a little bit of it often even showed like how he instead of the phone standing vertical it's now sitting flat though so that you could use it as some kind of a touchpad have you heard any buzz or is that even any of interest for you I mean it's that's definitely more for business customers I could see why a new Dex pad that laid your phone's flat mix-a-lot said to be able to rest your phone and charge it we're plugging your speakers and as you said it could work as a keyboard if you were to work it's a touch pad so it makes a lot of sense for a new Dex pad to show up and they've really been pushing that area more to business customers it's not really something our readers and most consumers are gonna want but it's a it's definitely something they're they're looking to push as they try to get more into the business base Roger its Lexi I mean I know we don't have a video image but kind of describe the room the layout of what's happening because I know Samsung is you know have a couple of times that they've had some kind of like floor and ceiling kind and and wall screens are you seeing anything like that anything that might be a showstopper kind of visually they're gonna showcase so if you remember Mobile World Congress 2016 when they unveil the galaxy s7 it's very it's a very similar set up the stage is in the center of the the venue at the large black stage there are large solid turns above it where they're flashing right now they're flashing Wi-Fi at the Wi-Fi signal Wi-Fi password didn't it doesn't work at all but I think they'll be flashing a lot of random symbols for us to focus our phones on I think that's going to trigger the AR experience that my guess is what the big it feels very similar to the Mobile World Congress event from two years ago in which everything's in the center if you'll remember that was the big VR heavy focus in which we all put on headsets and then Mark Zuckerberg showed up yeah that was good us all right well hey Roger you know settle in we have our live we have our team that is covering the event live as it happens as well so Roger thanks so much for calling in and I'm gonna I'm gonna say shame on them for their Wi-Fi I wanted to see your pretty face all right thank you so much so that's Roger Chang executive editor of C net inside over Anna Barcelona that there's there's photos that are up on you know aren't on his a Twitter page exactly you know our other editors that are over there I did want to kind of keep on jumping through the phone lines and but before we do that talk a little bit about how we mentioned the camera absolutely and the camera RIA you know everything they've done to promote this the camera reimagined the big thing here is we've heard and the rumors have pretty much confirmed and even in that little video you showed that the camera lens itself will be able to manually like switch between an f15 aperture and f2 for aperture kind of it'll you'll see like the lens around it letting them the light or not just kind of shrink it's like it's a it's a mu it's a physical piece online so you know aperture works kind of like the pupil in your eye it expands and contracts to let in more light or less light as it needs to be so obviously in low-light your people is expanding greatly so it can let in the most light possibility Brian's doing the beautiful visual right day6 you four and F two folks slightly more close just not preview of you don't even need to watch them so it's really cool technology but obviously you know most phones we've seen Samsung have a concept of this in one of their hands over the last year yeah the flip phone and so you know not pretty much no other phone has this this is something that's very specific like camera technology and you know from until now phones are basically had a fixed aperture so all it was doing is basically adjusting the shutter speed in the ISO to change that exposure now it's gonna give photographers a lot more flexibility and obviously they're going to be pushing not those terms so much in terms of like having full manual control I think that the way they're going to spin it is that obviously it's gonna be improved performance in low light so I mean just to see like how they actually market this without getting too technical about it and that's really interesting to see there because I think this is something that is definitely gonna pave the way or I mean this is the Holy Grail really in terms of a lot of smart phone photography I know that I want a variable aperture fine how much so much so I'm super excited to see Samson's gonna do this and then obviously you know other phone makers down the track in 2018 are going to have to address this yeah if you look at this clip that we're showing right now you can see that's that that actual you know the ability for it to change aperture on the fly and the other thing that we know shouldn't be understated as well as that this is an f-15 aperture that it that the the lowest we've seen ordered the one that allows most light right LGV 30s one six this is a 1/5 so this is the best we've seen in a smartphone camera ever to date that's good that alone itself is a big deal too it's a tie like f-16 2f 1.5 it's oka stop or something I don't even know the exact you know number there but it's it's very small it's significant the biggest thing though that smartphones have to work on is the size of the sensor and that is the trickiest thing so once we get the app the variable aperture down we're gonna start having to get bigger senses because I know that's gonna happen and that's gonna be the next holy grail to look for and I mean it's crazy because we're already getting phones that are getting closer I will never say it's on the DSLR level but getting pretty pretty getting closer and closer that's really thing I mean you can definitely achieve the bouquet effect you know that shallow depth of field for portraits that's pretty close and that's pretty good unless you have cool spiky hair it doesn't work it doesn't work sometimes it gets all fuzzy out here I'm like come on man you know what you're gonna try some of these third-party apps that are now doing the depth maps I want to say yeah which one do had do there anymore halite halide h a lig it's really interesting hey hey there's lots of different apps and obviously with that technology that's coming to third-party apps not just the eye friends are in portrait mode I'm excited to see where it goes but just coming up but we should get back to the cool that's groove let's groove yeah the keynote is expected to start somewhere around 9:00 a.m. Pacific time excuse me morning frog in the throat 12:00 p.m. Eastern Time let's keep on hitting the call lines we have our friend from the 2:00 to 4:00 wanted to talk about Galaxy S 9 being worth the money welcome to the show what's your name Sina live in a house my name the dime da and welcome to the show thanks so much for calling this morning thank you I just wanted to find out if the money was going to be we thought it was going to be worth it compared to some of the newer phones that are also gonna be released like the Moto G 6 I don't you know from from a price standpoint I don't think they've actually officially that's one of the few things that has not been leaked out yet the actual price of the s9 from what I've seen I'm gonna assume that it's gonna be probably close to or in line with what the s8 is right now we heard a couple of rumblings that it might be about a hundred dollars more than the debut press of the s8 obviously you know in line with the increased features and obviously we're thinking about the market that can tolerate and a thousand-dollar phone with the iPhone 10 like we've seen the market can tolerate it and I might not be able to tolerate thousand dollars but definitely other people are and other people are going there so I think that Samsung has seen that and I mean as Brian said we don't know exactly the price and that is also going to come down to carriers too but in terms of what I've seen rumor wise at least $100 more than sa debuted at all right thanks all right thanks Don appreciate it Don the man all right let's keep on rolling down the phone lines we've got some our friend from the 901 looking for information on gaming are you just calling to make friends welcome to the show what hi everyone I just want to touch a little bit of a little things not just gaming but um like the overall design of it like me um I am an Android fan and I recently had purchased some the iPhone X and I spent three days with it and I can tell you just overall I love the best screen and the big feel of it and um I actually returned it and because I you know I just wasn't an Apple user I was so caught up in Android is so much customer you know custom things you can do with the phone and things like that as far as um my concern is is the overall overall power like I look for the camera and the power of it and I'm a gamer as well I just wonder if it is it gonna be able to you know tackle some of the you know anyway games know come like that so you're are you telling are you basically trying to say you'd like to see some sort of a console level gaming even like a Nintendo switch level gaming on your phone is that what you're trying to is that what you're talking about [Laughter] honestly I feel I really just based on you know the specs of some of these phones like the high-end phones I honestly think they're they're ready to achieve at least you know under Nintendo switch a level of gaming performance that's not a problem what the what the issue is is the developers we haven't seen we there's a certain type of game that is successful on the phones that requires X amount of resources but if you're talking about Nintendo pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into a game that's not on their own hardware right we know that Nintendo likes to build games too for their own in Tendo hardware because that's how they sell their consoles that's how they make their money and Nintendo has been the company that has been so resistant to even bring something as simple we've talked about this for years Beach a basic Super Mario Brothers port to an iPhone or an Android phone not not you know sideloading it for five bucks that is true they haven't even done that right so it comes down to me game studios triple-a game studios sign to invest and take the resources specifically to mobile - and it can't just be one game right if you're if we were hoping that our phones could get to a console I mean we you need to see like three or four or five games that are at that level then you're like okay I'm gonna start taking this Syria as a gaming gaming like console level gaming device I don't want to offend people that are like I'm a gamer I'm on my phone I get that right so that's I think that's the biggest challenge they're they're they're more than powerful and ready to do it but I think what we're now seeing is these phones the gaming that's gonna be unique to them and it's always like software that's unique to a device is gonna be that they are oriented reality gaming and that's where this type of stuff is gonna be able to kind of take gaming to another level we just have to wait to get there but the hardware is in place exactly and we've seen benchmarks as well like the Snapdragon 805 which is kind of the new chip that's been benchmarked and it's kind of got blistering speeds the XE knows nine eight ten is also done really really well in those benchmarking - I mean obviously benchmarking isn't kind of not the be-all and end-all of performance you know as Brian said it's all to do about you know developing and optimizing for that particular chip and that platform as well but we know the hardware is there if the back the benchmarks and the specs have anything to say I mean we're ready we it's it's all there it's now just about leveraging that platform and making it the best it can be based on you know the hardware yeah um can I touch one other thing if I got the time I'll let you touch I'll let you touch bro okay Oh design now I noticed that LG disses and I see that Samsung is doing it as well and I'm a type of person that you know I will purchase the phone and if the total design has changed and I notice they do like like they have the s8 and now they have the s9 v30 they had to be 20 in the v10 and pretty much nothing has changed as far as the design but more of like the internal software it updating the arm the storage and now that Apple has made the iPhone X and you see the whole bezel islook with the OLED display which is what I really wanted to try and I kind of fell in love with it now why is it some you know they're they're more of stirring toys like the internal things and I think they just just it's a the V is it the V 30s and that there's more on the AI features like are we gonna see something there's gonna be a total like oh wow like this is just incredible type of feel type of look the draw you know consumers into well I want this this is it I mean I think you know what it is as this market has matured and the keynote looks like it's gonna be starting pretty soon so we'll kind of answer this question and then everyone else that's on the phone okay gonna hang out but I think the biggest thing is that you know as phones have matured more I feel like phones are all starting to look the same anyways and now you know and you know look we're the whole goal is to get this to be a single piece of glass with no buttons that is super thin like that's what you know in the future but everyone's look at these phones they basically look the same so it comes down the ecosystem it comes down to exclusive features that make you unique like an emojis you know thing if that's your bag but I don't I'm not as concerned anymore as much of the hardware as I am about what the phone can do and we've started seen camera being one of the biggest things that people are trying to do with phones these days so exactly it sounds like something's happening at the Keener something starting sorry we couldn't talk more bro but I think was your name oh cool thanks what's your name you never told your name oh I'm sorry you can call me all right CJ everybody else that you can hang with us we'll be back after the keynote Samsung's Galaxy S 9s 9 Plus reveal happening right now check it out that's it you can do it there you go with all these things that I did ladies and gentlemen please welcome president pet a pipe to the mobile communication division DJ turn welcome welcome everyone and thank you it's an exciting time to be Mobile World Congress incredible advances in technology have created the perfect conditions for innovation and change artificial intelligence and machine learning augmented and virtual reality faster networks more powerful processes the Internet of Things and now with connected devices everywhere powered by AI what we like to call the intelligence of things this week companies from across our industry have become too short how they intend to change the world but I have a different view I believe we overestimate our impact and inflate our role it's not technology companies that change the world its people we may deliver new capabilities and add new features but it's only when technology is in people's hands that real magic happens and our lives are transformed it's you for the true creators and innovators you are the ones who see new possibilities that open the door to a universe of new experiences there is no better proof than the mobile phone it started out as a simple idea a device to make phone calls on the go but when you saw what it could do you wondered what else was possible if I can make a call why not send an email why can't I listen to music why can't I take a pictures or watch videos a Samsung we are inspired by the Christians you ask we are a company with researchers innovators designers and engineers who have a deep commitment to listen to our customers heavily Christian challenges us to work harder to turn today's impossible ideas and tomorrow's essential capabilities this is why we built the first mobile phone with an mp3 player and the first phone with a built-in camera is what led us to create the fabula and pioneer the infinite display now we are even more excited by what's possible when you turn can't into can you ideas and passion have transformed the communications and changing holily but for all the progress we have made there's still a lot of work to do technology is still too complicated there are too many steps too many features don't get used to tackle this next great challenges we are committed open innovation so all your smart devices will work seamlessly across real connected life fragmentation and complexity will become a thing of the past today we are in veiling on new gallops smartphone with the powerful software and services to manage every facet or will connected life a smartphone with a personalized intelligence of Bixby which learns from new to simplify now you get things done a smartphone that includes the new smart things are to provide a unified and easy way to control all your smart things devices a smartphone the lecture images and videos across your smart TV and family hub refrigerator and a smartphone with Samsung health to help you live a better healthier life for years we have been one of the only companies to offer a built-in heart rate monitor now we are adding on advanced optics sensor to track how hard your heart is working and we are partnering with the University of California San Francisco School of Medicine for the first research program to use this sensor to measure blood pressure tracking health and fitness is just one way people use phones that we didn't imagine at the beginning of the smartphone era but over all the changes we've seen nothing is more important than how images are replacing words and how visually have become the new language for self-expression it's not a text we send all the updates we post that convey who we are anymore and the most important function of a phone is not making calls is to capture the fleeting moments that express what you want to say in an instant by taking photos and surface sending images and sharing videos last year people took one point two trillion photos on their smartphones every day they shared ten billion video and sent five billion images clearly the social media generation has revolutionized the way people communicate and transform the way we all use our phones but if how you use your phone has a change it how we build it is not we still squeeze a camera into a device meant for talking and while camera have gotten better they don't take great pictures in low-light action shots are still blurry Samsung we believe is time for a new kind of fun not just a great smartphone that takes good pictures a breakthrough camera that sees the world clearly in any light build around an amazing smartphone inspired by your ability to take us to places we never imagined we'd go I'm thrilled Tom Vail the first smartphone built for the way you use your phone today and the only smartphone with the power to help you reimagine how you will experience the world tomorrow ladies and gentlemen I give you galux as an ion and as my plus and that's nine plus okay thank you thank you very much Justin Tennison well hello everyone I am so thrilled to be here to tell you about the amazing Galaxy S nine now we smartphone owners know from experience that the way we're using our smart phones is changing whereas originally our phones were designed for well making phone calls but we don't use our phones like this so much anymore we use them like this we send photos gifts and emojis we communicate through video chat and when we see something funny we don't write about it we capture and we do this all on our smart phones they're the most personal devices in our lives they're how we express ourselves and how we share things with the people we love and it's Samsung we're committed to creating phones that reflect the way you live your life today and that's why we created the Galaxy S a 2 no date introducing an infinity display that lets you see and do more changing the way that we create and communicate and today we're building on that commitment we're bringing you a phone that lets you capture every fleeting moment interact with the world intuitively and express yourself like never before the Galaxy S 9 thank you when we release the infinity display most people had never seen anything like it it's groundbreaking design offered more screen in less space and quickly set a new industry standard with the s9 we've built on this foundation taking the same immersive and to end display and refining it even further we've created a design so sleek and unified you can hardly tell where the screen ends and as always you know there's no knotch we've also refined the back of the phone and it's as beautiful as the front so take the fingerprint scanner for example which we all know is one of the most popular ways that we like to unlock our phones which is why we didn't get rid of it instead we listen carefully to your feedback and we move the finger print scanner directly below the camera where it's even easier to reach naturally thank you and because we believe that in giving you more choice and convenience we're also introducing intelligent scan intelligence scan adapts to your needs combining the key elements of iris scanning and face recognition to make it even easier for you to unlock your phone in more situations and the feedback we collect from you extends the colors too and thanks to your input the galaxy s 9 comes in four stunning colors midnight black titanium gray coral blue and the all-new one-of-a-kind lilac purple which I

next so there you have it folks your first personal sneak preview of the galaxy s 9 so from front to back and outside in this device is designed for the visual and social generation and while it starts with an amazing display that you just saw in your hand it also extends to one of the most fundamental tools in our lives the camera and to create the s9 we completely reimagine the camera and built an amazing phone around it to create the ultimate tool for communication and self-expression and from the outset we challenged ourselves with a different set of questions what if your smartphone camera could adapt your environment just like the human eye what if it could radically slow down time what if it could put more self into self-expression and what if it could literally translate the world around you well today we're gonna answer those questions and to help us do that please help me welcome your favorite demo enthusiast and mine mr. John Wong thanks Justin how's it going Barcelona yeah so I was out with a few friends the other night and we wanted to take a group photo because it was dark out everyone knows I have the latest galaxy a device of course used my camera most smartphone cameras just won't cut it after the Sun Goes Down at Samsung we've always been committed to leading the industry with our camera technology and this year we're building on that foundation with our most groundbreaking camera yet we've reimagine what's possible to help you - brilliant photos at any time of day for inspiration for inspiration we turn into an incredibly powerful image capturing tool the human eye see the I naturally adapts to different lighting situations when it's bright out your pupils shrink down when it's dark they get larger if they didn't either be blind as a bat at night or blinded by the Sun during the day and yet that's how most smartphone cameras have worked until now the Galaxy S 9 has a dual aperture smartphone camera that's actually designed to work like the human eye it's bright outside camera will automatically use a smaller aperture and when it gets dark the camera switches over to a wider aperture in fact the widest ever included in a smartphone so you can take bright clear shots day and night with dual aperture reviews our industry-leading hardware to reimagine the camera down to its foundation and we brought that same expertise to the image sensor with the s9 we've integrated a dram memory chip directly into the camera as part of our new SuperSpeed dual pixel image sensor that means the camera itself can process four times as much image data as before to minimize noise and create a noticeably clearer image in low-light combined with dual aperture this means that you can take incredible shots whether it's super bright or super dark now your eyes probably just took a few moments to adjust in the sudden change in lighting but the s9s camera adjusts instantly to take the perfect shot see and the lights were din we actually took a photo with the s9 take a look pretty cray right and we set out to reimagine the camera we focus on the experience or users love the most and everyone loves slow-mo it's one of the most popular shooting modes because it makes everything look totally epic the great part about slo-mo is you don't need to be filming a once-in-a-lifetime event it's all about radically slowing down time to make everyday moments epic which is why we're taking slow-mo to a whole new level with the s9 camera remember that new super super speed image processor we talked about well our d ram memory chip powers the s nines all new super slow-mo experience with super slow-mo you can record videos at an incredible 960 frames per second that means you can stretch 0.2 seconds of time but the length of a blank into a six second masterpiece so I want to see what this looks like in action we've invited our favorite slow-mo experts the slow mo guys to give it a test run these guys I know right awesome these guys make awesome slow-mo videos and they've pretty much perfected the art let's see what they've created was super slow-mo on the s9 camera oh it's about to go oh god this is scary hello I'm done where the slow mo guys we did name ourselves appropriately let's test this bad boy out for the light sure lovely love it too one the only question I have now is are you ready nail it the good box position perfect you want to do again didn't you wanna drive Darren sweet let me watch this again you go get dry all right of those guys awesome you want to learn how to make your own super slow-mo videos on the s9 Dan will be hosting a short session after the show and gavin dan will be sharing their full set of tips and tricks on our samsung youtube channel in the next few weeks now just for comparison's sake let's take a look at how super slow-mo stacks up against typical slow-mo on a smartphone video on the left it's normal slow-mo the one on the right is super slow-mo on the galaxy s 9 camera just look at that difference and it's not just short clips using multi take you can record longer videos with up to 20 different slow-mo scenes that means you can slow down the action at just the right moments what's better than a cat video that's right a super slow-mo cat video yeah and for those moments that are hard to time just right we have Auto capture just choose an area on screen any motion within it will trigger super slow-mo so you can capture the magic exactly when it happens and you can also turn your slo-mo video into a gif which you can play forward backward or on a loop super slo-mo lets you capture fun memories and create amazing moments that you can share with your friends now let's check out how cool it is to create your own masterpiece all I do is open up the camera go to super slo-mo and in three two one go alright I think we got it let's check it out how cool is that how cool is that I'm totally gonna play it again you got to see it again sorry have you ever seen water look that good and every time you make a video automatic background music is added and you can customize it to the perfect mood and if that

video as your lockscreen to give your infinity display a unique personal touch super-slow-mo videos can be heartwarming or hilarious our partners at the dodo and BuzzFeed have already created some pretty great ones on the galaxy s nine sure all of you will be just as creative when you make your super slow-mo debuts and I can't wait to see what you come up with and no matter how many photos or videos you take you don't have to worry because yes nine comes with a micro SD slot which lets you expand your base storage you can use dual aperture multiframe processing and super slow-mo on both the s9 and s 9 plus cameras and now for the very first time we're bringing the incredible dual camera to the Galaxy S series with the s9 plus the s9 plus comes with both a wide-angle lens and the telephoto lens and it has optical image stabilization in both lenses so you can take clear focus shots whether you're snapping a close-up portrait or a wide shot that captures more of the action

water and dust resistance dual aperture for amazing shots day and night a new SuperSpeed image processor for epic super slow-mo videos and a powerful dual camera on the s9 Plus this is what it means

Disney you can bring to life some of your favorite characters including Mickey Mouse Minnie Mouse and even The Incredibles with a R emoji the camera helps you express yourself like never before it's not just a lens for looking at the world but also a tool for interacting with it in new ways last year we introduced Bixby our artificial intelligence platform that helps you do more with your phone and it keeps getting better every day let's say you want to translate a foreign language now Bixby uses a R to show you search results in real time just hold up your camera and Bixby will automatically detect the language and translate it for you live here in Barcelona Bixby would be a real lifesaver for me now I know the basics in Spanish but sometimes you need more than that especially when it comes to ordering food I don't know about you but I like to know exactly what it is that I'm eating before I get it so tomorrow when I'm out for lunch I'll definitely be using Bixby to help me let's check it out so first open up the camera then I choose Bixby then you select text search no wonder what buckle out or no could be you hold it up and Biggs people translate it for me live fake fog sounds good isn't that great as Bixby keeps improving there are more ways than ever to use it in your everyday life like helping you track what you eat which is amazing for a health-conscious person like me now your camera can identify what food is on your plate and log the nutritional information directly into Samsung health so you don't have to add spend ages I didn't it manually as DJ mentioned earlier Samsung has always been committed to the idea that technology can help us live better healthier lives we want you to spend more time love things that matter and what bixby to make your everyday life easier now I love shopping and one of my favorite things to buy is makeup however if I want the right color Foundation for example I have to visit a store in person

and amore Pacific Bixby lets you try on makeup virtually and if you like something you can use Bixby to buy it through your camera at launch this will be available in the US Canada Korea and China as

working on creating amazing new AR apps and experiences for Galaxy users so after all this I'm sure you can tell that I really love this camera not only because it takes the best pictures but because it makes everything in your life easier from shopping to eating to traveling and with AR the s 9 camera will revolutionize the way you work play and interact with the world around you tell you more about the incredible s9 please welcome McNaughton Thank You Aaron it's great to be here in Barcelona with the ys9 we didn't just reimagine the camera we designed an amazing phone to match unless you see and interact with the world around you like never before and it's a gateway to countless other worlds the ones were our favorite films books and shows all play out with yes 9 and yes 9 plus we've created an unparalleled viewing experience these displays are totally immersive the s nine at five point eight inch and the s 9 + @ six point two inch and they look great too we all know Barcelona is a stunning city and it's never looks better than when viewed through the screen of an S 9 vivid colors gorgeous details this is a screen that really pulls you inside and with es9 we've boosted the brightness of the screen so in the brightest daylight or the darkest night everything will look crisper and clearer now having an amazing display is really important to our users but for a truly immersive viewing experience the sound has to be amazing - the s9 features speakers on both ends of the device they're the loudest ever in a galaxy phone loud thank you these are new AKG Tunes dual stereo speakers and they've allowed us to do some truly incredible things with our partners at Dolby think back to the last time you went to your local cinema the sound was totally immersive right well we've brought that feeling to the s9 with Dolby Atmos bringing cinematic sound to a mobile device Dolby Atmos takes advantage of yes Minds new stereo speakers to move sound all around you in three dimensions so you can fully lose yourself in the film you're watching and it works whether you're listening to the essence amazing new speakers or on your own pair of headphones by simply connecting them to the convenient headphone socket at the bottom of the device we've made these changes because the fact is many of us watch videos and films on our smartphones and when we do we usually on the move so with the s9 whether you're streaming a video or playing an online game you get a better experience than ever before the s9 is powered by one of the most advanced chipsets on the market which means you can get speeds faster than gigabits LTE and we support the most advanced networks so you can have some of the fastest downloading speeds available on a smart phone now I don't know about you but I rarely get a chance to watch a film these days without interruption more often when I'm on my phone I'm doing several things at the same time so Samson we're constantly improving the entire multitasking experience now when you get a notification you can just drag it down and open it in a new window right on top of the current one so you can respond to a message without interrupting the video you're watching and multitasking isn't about just doing more at once it's also about seamlessly switching between tasks our home screen now supports horizontal orientation so when you're switching between apps you don't have to keep flipping your phone around and after a long thank you and after a long day of streaming movies and playing games recharging your phone will be a piece of cake because the s9 comes equipped with fast wireless charging the key word being fast so you can get a quick convenient charge without worrying about cords to create the s9 we listened intently to your feedback and your ideas to give you an experience that's more comfortable more immersive and more in tune with how you live your lives this is a device that revolutionizes the way we think about smart phones can be and what they can do for a generation this more visual and more social than ever before the s9 is our vision for the future of mobile phones but before we get a chance

come and check it out thank you don't bring that back that's what she did once you get it been you don't bring all right everybody welcome back that was the galaxy s 9s 9 plus reveal Lexi ceviches Brian Tong and Beechum's Steven Beecham in the house Lexi I guess hi highlights for you cuz it was overall iterative we knew everything that was coming but any highlights that stuck out to you a couple of interesting things that I think were really underrated from I guess kind of both their presentation and kind of what we heard in those leaks and the coverage that came out so I think headphone jack huge deal for me I think it's great and I made a nice little dig there had a couple of digs at Apple which were kind of interesting and good be the notch in the headphone jack and but for me the the cool feature that we were kind of talking about as we watch the presentation was hey landscape orientation for the home screen knee is a huge deal I think that's incredibly underrated the camera obviously is really cool I wish that they showed us a little bit more evidence of that low-light performance there wasn't really any kind of motor samples comparison that's exactly what we were talking about like during you we we don't want to interrupt the keynote but while we watch it we're always like just goofing around and talking about but you've got to show some actual photo evidence to show us how good this really is compared to what it was before and what the competitors are doing with cameras being such you know maybe sometimes what will push you to one phone versus the other we didn't see any single comparison tonight I feel like in the past they've shown photo comparisons before but for this phone they did not and if the title of this whole keynote was the camera reimagined they should have really melt a section focusing on the camera I would they did the super slow-mo which was fun but the actual camera photos which is what we actually take more of than slo-moes all the time I think that was a missed opportunity to maybe they maybe the results weren't as as telling right maybe they weren't visually as like oh I see it as you might they might want to do if they're touting this as a brand new feature and me making such a big deal out of it exactly I mean the thing is though with low-light photography I mean there is a clear difference between a good photo with less and reduced noise and if they're making such a big deal about the fact that they're basically I like it has the ability to do this sort of 12 frame composite image to kind of reduce noise and improve image quality on the back end where all the image processing is done at the sensor level rather than through the phone's Ram like show us some images that can kind of showcase this it's pretty sick it's pretty easy it's to show that an image made like @f 1.6 verse is 1.5 like you you there is a way I'm sure that you can make it look impressive I would have loved you even treated this is cool but as we were saying you know this is a feature at 960 frames a second that we've seen on the Xperia phone before this is not super new it's only at 720p so it's not even at 1080p resolution and sunny for 0.2 seconds so you really have to make sure that you get that moment right that you hit it right on the spot because otherwise you're gonna miss that shot it's cool it's it's a really showstopper feature in that respect but I don't think it's the reason why people are gonna be bright buying a phone is for that slow motion feature yeah the camera stuff was really cool but I again I wanted to see more I don't know anything else that's a kind of I'm piqued your interest Brian on that prison I think let's see what else are right oh you know what I did right that we talked about how much they actually trolled Apple the problem is that they don't deliver these trolls properly okay they like they kind of like throw them in and the crowd doesn't react at all and it just falls so flat I to me look when when Apple has in the past has told companies they they delivered it with a little bit of gravitas that made it like made it humorous and people would laugh and react like you can't throw down the hammer and even just train your employees to go like Oh or like have a DAB after it just they fall flat but there were at least four or five there was the notch there was the fingerprint sensor troll that they said about keeping a fingerprint sensor on a phone there was the headphone jack troll there a lot so I thought that stood out but from an actual presentation standpoint um Samsung decks pad they didn't really talk about it that much where I thought they were they showed more in the leaked video about the decks pad um than they did in there I also did embarrassingly enough to kind of find their AR emojis fine if you loved bit mo geez these are like bit motors on acid but I want it to look like my bitmoji not like something out of like the Twilight it was very bizarre it was oh no I mean again and I did like the fact they didn't make been an outright make a dig but they're like oh this works on every platform you can share the right you you can send it to an iPhone or your friend has an iPhone I don't know there's something kind of weird like their meas but way better meas yeah like we you know I just Nintendo means I I was weird about it that I like I'm just drinking about I would love to have like a Smackdown so between an avatar from give me your bitmoji your Facebook spaces via avatar like the AR emojis in an emerging on all of these to go into an arena and fight what would the parameters be uh how it you you just want to see them I just want to see I just think it's just gonna be so hilarious when you have so many visual representations of yourselves like what is gonna happen which one is gonna win because let's face it bitmoji at the moment I use way more than anything else I've got mojo steroids Spindler steroids but I don't I I wasn't super impressed by those they are I know Brian was I definitely like oh I might actually use those if they can capture the cloth so we'll see what happens I want to see but I want to say though I mean like I know we talked a lot about how you know this is an iterative update as sort of not that much exciting stuff I think the camera is personally the most exciting I'm one of them to focus more on it yeah I wanted this morning but I have to say like for people that aren't like us you know we followed this extensively we pretty much update our phones as soon as we can you know people that are coming from say like the s7 the s6 other Android phones that are older this is going to be a big jump in them it's gonna be grateful for let's not underestimate that I mean we obviously get really caught up in the specs and everything like that but I think for most people this is gonna be a significant update and something that is definitely they're gonna be looking at when they're coming to you know trade up to a new phone and speaking of the trade in that three up to three hundred and fifty dollar trading it's like you people you keep people in your ecosystem by doing that so overall the like they said the pre-orders they didn't give an official date the rumors had said the pre-orders would start on March the 1st but they did say that the phones will actually go on sale on March the 16th yes correct March the 16th also you had the pricing that are the gates so the s9 will be seven hundred and twenty dollars in the US and eight hundred and seventy dollars for the s9 bus obviously it's gonna vary depending on carrier but that's kind of the baseline that you're looking at so didn't probably noticed not at that hundred dollar extra rumor that we were hearing um that's actually a really great price if you think about it yeah considering well we have the iPhone at $9.99 so your time out $270 difference sorry sorry I'm Asian and I should know math better than that but my abacus is broken right now I had to either move the beads around a little but yeah 200 that's I mean and it's not it's not even like a mid-tier phone you know that's that's quality you're getting quality I think even from someone who went from you know when you're talking about previous phones to upgrade the cameras gonna blow them away on the s9 so I think they did what they had to do I'm sorry for people that think a new phone has to be great just by having a new completely new form factor i I don't subscribe to that anymore I'm just kind of I guess I'm kind of past that point I just gotta wait for the flexible phone you know it's foldable phone yes it's coming goes on your wrist I'm down with that it's coming so we have something to look forward to one other thing I wanted to mention that I think is another underrated thing is the Dolby Atmos they kind of mentioned this in the presentation but seriously if you've heard Dolby Atmos I mean I know the razer phone has got it on it onboard HTC but I've heard it on a huawei mate and that it's just incredible the sound quality of that it's coming from literally like a little tiny strip of speakers and it sounds like the sound is coming from all around you so I'm so excited to see what that sounds like on s9 you know I love my Dolby Atmos y'all I complain about it because a certain person
