Samsung Galaxy S9: First Look

2018-02-25
meet me galaxy s 9 this one's been linked for a while so this shouldn't be a giant surprise if you follow the tech or rumors but let me tell you everything there is to know about these phones let's start with some of the differences the s 9 is now not just a smaller version of the S 9 plus the Plus version is going to get two extra gigs of rams it's going to have six that's going to have double the cameras so that's gonna bring it up to two the main sensors are the same 12 megapixels they now have dual apertures so it's mechanical you can actually see it open and closed they showed us some example of how that's going to reduce noise tested it did seem to do that although real-world usage will determine it we get this in their offices will of course test it they're also capable of taking an insane 960 frames per second slow-mo video at a pretty awesome 720p we tested it and they look absolutely incredible and at fun fact about these phones they actually now have RAM built into the camera system so it could handle all those crazy frames that are coming in the Plus version though gets a second camera of course for the zoom stuff that you'd like other than that things are pretty similar from lash in the screen size they're still a five point six point two the bezels have been slimmed down just a little bit the screens were already really good with the s8 but now they're better this time around they are 15% brighter and we tested this the screens did look really bright that should be nice and bright sunlight when you're outdoors it's going to gonna be able to see the screen if there could be two knocks on the galaxy s 8 that I was pretty vocal about it was the silly finger print reader location that's now been fixed and no dual speakers that has also now been fixed the earpiece is a speaker it gets pretty loud in fact it's about 1.4 to 1.5 times louder than the s8 so they're really proud of it for music and if I use it for speakerphone it's just louder now one of the things that I liked about the node 8 was it kind of flattened out the edges so the phone felt more substantial in her hand didn't feel kind of as thin as the s8 was and it that same thing here at the galaxy s 9 did it the note it's got kind of a flatter side to it so it does feel better in the hand if you like the way the note felt you're gonna love the way the Galaxy S 9 is gonna feel Samsung loves to be first with stuff this is the first phone out of the gate shipping with a Snapdragon 805 so it's gonna be incredibly fast for processing for gaming for a lot of VR and AR and you're better on the battery as well on those sizes are the same as last gen at 3,000 and 3,500 but again the plus has the 60 gram versus the regular that has a 4 so so bear that in mind I know you're gonna ask i I asked Samsung bixby button is still there it still does bixby things but it's a little bit better now you get some sort of like a our makeup see what looks like a different makeup on now we're gonna do real-time translation if you hold it up to words that are in different language and also if you hold it up to food they'll tell you what an estimated calorie counts one thing that is definitely new here with the SI and the s9 plus all right animated emojis if you ever made it like a Nintendo me but you wish it was more high def and could map your face that's what we've got right here is kind of cool it's actually gonna take a picture of your face and it's going to make it you can customize some stuff your skin tone hair and clothes but it does work actually really well I did a test with each eyebrow going up and down is able to see those things smiling is able to see those things turn your head see those things it's able to map your face really well of course if you want to just put yourself into other sort of emojis like like bunny rabbits and other things we might be used to those are here as well and they'll work on third-party apps it actually will just save it as a picture if you want on the software side the UI is going to look similar to lashed and actually I really like what Samsung has done on the software side but it is Android Oreo based in fact it's based off of 8.0 and I think all the things that make Samsung phones stand out are also here you can run through the list of flagship specs as check them off one by one expandable storage is here quick charging here wireless charging is here samsung pay is here ip68 of course it's here as well all that stuff that makes you generally Samsung phones awesome or of course packed into the galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus the u.s. is getting some good launch colors finally it's gonna be midnight black coral blue lilac purple there's an awesome looking gray one that's only going international so that's it that's the s9 in the s9 plus it doesn't at least appear to be a giant upgrade when I think was already peak smartphone with the s AP for coming from an s7 is a giant step forward coming from a note eight you might want to give it a second thought before we decided whether or not to upgrade but it looks awesome we're gonna get one in the office of course the test put it through its paces I'm excited I like to last Jen's this one looks like a really nice improvement on that but we'll we'll be the judge and you guys want us to see particular about the s9 the s9 + even the comments down
