so this is the galaxy s 9 in glorious lilac purple it also comes midnight black and blue you guys johnathan here get excited because the galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus are official I got a pretty cool trick up to sleep it impress me I got to go hands-on with them and these are 10 things to know before buying so first up ins May inherently disappoint some people out there and that's the fact the galaxy s 9 it's not a redesign but rather it takes everything that was good about the galaxy s 8 and even the things that were lacking and improves upon them in pretty much every possible way we still see that same beautiful 18 and 1/2 by 9 infinity display the galaxy s 9 size is in a 5.8 inches whereas galaxy s 9 plus is 6.2 inches now the big difference between the galaxy s 9 plus and s 9 aside from screen size is going to be RAM and battery life with the s 9 plus you get 6 gigabytes versus 4 on the S 9 and then with battery life you're getting 3,500 milliamp hours in the s 9 plus vs. 3000 on the s 9 I realized those numbers might be slightly disappointing for some people out there but the good news is especially for those in the u.s. is the snapdragon 845 inside these will not only lead to better performance but also better efficiency which should translate to overall better battery life now the other giant difference between these two is going to be dual cameras and the S 9 plus you get a wide angle on a telephoto lens very similar to what we saw on the Galaxy Note 8 versus the single shooter on the galaxy s 9 from that number 2 speaking of cameras both the s 9 + + S 9 have a really cool trick up its sleeve variable aperture so the best way to imagine this is the camera on the galaxy s 9 essentially is going to react to light in a very similar way to how your eyes would you're outside where it's super bright effectively your eyes are letting less light in and then you go inside where it's a little bit lower lighting situations and your eyes adjust and let more light in the same thing is happening here where the camera on the galaxy s 9 will adjust and adapt and effectively switch the f-stop from 2.4 down to 1.5 that lets a ton more light in the crazy cool thing is you can actually see this happening that in turn should lead to much better low-light performance I'm super excited to check that out for the full review and if you have me it definitely feel free to subscribe so you don't miss out on that video now to clarify because the whole variable aperture and dual cameras on the s 9 + vs. single camera on the nine might be a little confusing the way that works is both phones do get variable aperture but the s9 plus that's going to be on its main wide-angle lens whereas the telephoto lens is only F two point four next from there we're gonna jump over to video and the third thing to know is the Galaxy S nine could record super slow-motion video up to nine hundred and sixty frames per second what's really cool with this is galaxy s 9 is smart enough to know and react when the motion happens you're not having to guess or react when that's happening yourself I got a chance to blow up some confetti which of course looks way cooler in slow motion watching that back on the galaxy s 9 everything about this was all automatic so there's no triggering no reacting it was simply pressing record it knew when the confetti popped out and we have this clip from there beyond just saved in the video you can turn it into a gift you could even turn it into your moving wallpaper if you wanted to the 960 fps comes in at 720p so it's not the highest resolution but still pretty impressive nonetheless beyond that you can do 1080p at 240 frames per second or up to 4k at 60 frames per second so there is a ton of video options on the galaxy s 9 from there number four in a world where headphone jacks aren't that common anymore where wireless charging still isn't a standard on every major flagship yet the Galaxy S 9 is packed full of the essentials the headphone jack is still there and I'm going to admit I actually love and prefer wireless headphones but to a lot of people that headphone jack is a valuable and sacred commodity and it is here on the galaxy s 9 give us BC which in turn gives you quick charge 2.0 but you're the best of both worlds with fast wireless charging as well microSD card expansion and as of now there are 400 gigabyte microSD cards which will work in the galaxy s 9 again it's not new but the Galaxy S naught of course is water and dust resistant so these core features by themselves so not game changes put together show that Samsung has done a really good job trying to accommodate to all kinds of users out there next number five the Galaxy S 9 and s 9 Plus now feature front-facing stereo speakers and if you've never had that on a smart phone it is a beautiful thing I got a chance to listen to this at the event it was a little loud a little noisy so it wasn't the best environment to really form an opinion but at the very least you could still hear a really big difference between the galaxy s 9 and s 8 from there beyond the stereo speakers there was no Dolby Atmos support and talking to Samsung again they're ideal with this was the refinement process with the Galaxy s8 and it's Infiniti that kind of kicked off the ultimate viewing experience with the Galaxy S nine that kind of takes that rounds off the audio experience so now you get the best of both worlds next to number six Samsung listen to everybody that complained about the terrible location of the fingerprint read on the galaxy s 8 and moved it to on the galaxy s 9 so no longer do you have to move your finger around in an awkward spot and kind of guess where it is to unlock your phone now on the Galaxy S line it is right below the camera which is a much better location with that though that means the fingerprint reader on the galaxy s 9 is still going to be the main form of security you of course can unlock your phone with your eyes but that's going to be the option as opposed to the main form of security like something on the iPhone 10 next up at number 7 I'm not sure if AR emoji is cool or creepy what is a AR emoji you ask it takes a 2d image of your face and then maps over a hundred different facial expressions and then translate that into this 3d image that reacts to your expressions it's almost like bitmoji in an emoji got smashed together except just a little bit weirder I will say weird or not it is very responsive and works as advertised so this is me moving my face around as an AR emoji you can pop in different backgrounds you can save it as a GIF as a picture as a video the possibilities seem to be endless I will say guess the potential advantages over an emoji is one you can record longer than ten seconds and two you have way more customization either way though I'm not sure this is going to be the main or most attractive feature of why you'd want to buy a gaseous 9 or s 9 plus if it is though or if you're remotely excited for AR emoji let me know with a comment down below next up in Amer a big speed it's better than ever now when I hear Bixby to this day I still can't not think of bubsy Bobcat I realize Bixby especially that dedicated big Z button gets a lot of hate but one feature that I thought was cool on the galaxy s 9 is the ability to instantly translate signs or different languages through the camera previously you would need to take a picture in order to translate the text but now through AR it is instant through the camera and honestly it works really good you can see if I turn the camera slightly off access and then back how fast the translation actually happens so if you're out traveling I could see this being really useful is this enough to warrant the praise and full-time use of Bigsby or even being happy with that baby button I'm not sure if I'm quite there yet but still it's nice to see some useful features coming to Bixby especially on the galaxy s 9 now next to number nine along with the Galaxy S nine comes improved index experience if you remember last year I turned my Galaxy s8 into a desk set up because of decks that stands for desktop experience now it is better than ever with the galaxy s 9 it's actually more of an alternative as opposed to replacement so you solve the option to dock your decks setup but this is rather an option where you can place your Galaxy S 9 down and then use that as a mouse and keyboard so the touchscreen kind of very similar to what we saw in Razer and project Lynda that's happening here with the Galaxy S 9 where you can plug this into a display then use that as your control so the idea with this is most places you're traveling to will probably have some sort of TV or monitor and this allows you not to have to carry a keyboard or Mouse and kind of keep things light weight on top of that with those performance improvements on the galaxy s 9 that's kind of where they showed off a gaming scenario plug into a monitor I'm not sure if I'm quite sold on the whole gaming plugged into a doc kind of thing with your smartphone for me I'd probably rather just stay on the smart phone and stuff but either way it's kind of cool to see Samsung staying on top of this so that's step number 10 is when you can buy the Galaxy S 9 the answer that shortly pre-orders begin March 2nd they will hit the stores March 16th so that is very very close typically samsung announces their Galaxy S lineup in March that in turn hits the stores in April that's what we saw with the Galaxy 8 but this year we're getting our hands on just a little bit early so with that I'd love to hear what you think of the galaxy s 9 is it enough of an upgrade what do you think of the colors are you team lilac purple midnight black or probably in my case coral blue hopefully you guys enjoy this video if you did and you are feeling life being awesome make sure you guys smash that like button again stay tuned for the full review which is coming very soon this is Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
