all right new phone flagship from Samsung the market leaders its s9 time and s 9 plus the larger brother with the dual land set up what's the name of this color what I have in front of me here titanium gray is never just great now I know it also comes in a kind of lavender color is it midnight black and then there's a blue as well right coral blue I actually kind of like this one I was trying to put fingerprints on it be like they show up a little less than on the black color but at this point you probably saw a couple videos on these but you are like you know what I got a sea loons video I want to see what he's saying I want to see how he feels obviously this device it's a bit of an iteration on the last one there's no overhaul happening here that's ok though I used the s8 for a very long time it's a comfortable hold it's a nice little size well here's the thing in the meantime in the past year or so the competition in this marketplace I mean it's kind of changed to compel you to spend your extra dollars no price increase here in fact depending on how you purchase these and which carrier you purchase them from you might actually see a price reduction I take that as a response to what's happening in the marketplace and the quality you can get at lower price point a couple things about this device that I like straight away the movement of the fingerprint sensor underneath the camera lens something I complained about on the last one what ends up happening you end up putting your finger in many cases on the camera lens and smudging it up sometimes manufacturers listen you can see the evidence right here other than this you'd be hard-pressed place and s8 beside this s9 and really tell it actually we have an s8 well could you grab they're very similar in appearance now that could be a good thing that could be a bad thing and from the back the movement of the fingerprints got better spot easier to reach the speaker grille which looks different now the single channel opening there on the old one the grille looked a bit different the reasoning for this is an improvement in the audio performance of the speaker so Samsung acquires Harman Kardon and the thinking there and improve in an audio performance from the speaker unit firing audio from this location as well as on the bottom all the rest of the stuff that you love is here the headphone jack is here USB type-c it's here the SIM tray with expandable SD card storage who doesn't like expandable storage who doesn't like options display OLED very pleasing to the eye is curved edge I'm still a little bit undecided on whether or not I'm completely sold on that idea because when you're watching content you lose a little bit of it right it wraps around the edge which it looks cool but does it do you enjoy content more or is it just a novelty factor I'm not a hundred percent decided on that recently I've been using the pixel to excel a lot now everybody knows this is not the greatest display in the world and you can kind of see how the white is represented a little differently I think it's kind of interesting having this phone out compared to this one these are both 850 bucks these things are competing head-to-head one of the main reasons this remains in my pocket is the incredible camera that brings me to the camera on the s9 Plus for the first time ever has a variable aperture F 1.5 or F 2.4 F 1.5 F 2.4 conor mcgregor figurine here this is f 1.5 so the plant in the background is a little bit more blurred out compared to f 2.4 i think for most of you this comes into play just in low-light situations if you need more light it'll trigger the larger aperture the portrait mode as well which i tested earlier this is actually a wide selfie mode there's a front camera wide-angle selfie and it's guessing via software where the edge of the foreground or the subject in the foreground is but as you can see it did a pretty good job there's mo right there let's see here edge recognition around his beard is pretty good as well I think this one it stacks up kind of nicely as of right now against the pixel 2xl it's also got this super slo-mo mode can shoot up to 960 frames per second so you tap the record button to start a recording and the slow motion starts when something moves within this square 960 fps is pretty wild look at that flame it's not crazy high resolution 720p it's a nice little gimmick you put that on social mediums like what are you doing how'd you do it it looks cool so yeah now what about the speaker in general here see if I try to cover up the audio on the bottom I'm still getting it through the earpiece here I want to grab the old s8 over here it does sound better it ain't razor phone territory it's a little more full it's a little more pleasing okay look at the options in video mode it's unbelievable you HD you HD 60fps you go up to 4k 60fps that's pretty cool I mean we might as well so this should be 4k stabilized pick up this guy right here oh it is nice and stable you see the fingerprint nightmare I have a solution for that in a moment of course we pan around we see the squad we see Jack over there you know what's the take what's the take away here I told you earlier I used the essay extensively take away from me is pricing I'm really interested in the pricing component you guys know that if you watch my videos I'm looking for value you go to work you work hard for your money so I'm gonna treat you right do these devices as of right now do they justify the cost you're in the territory of the Google pixel product if you're gonna compete with the pixel then you gotta bring the top-notch camera because that's one of the reasons a lot of people are picking pics you're gonna get the fastest updates if you're on the official Google hardware I mean there's no other way around it the fit and finish here quality the glass back I'm not such a big fan of course you get the wireless charging with it kind of sacrifice appearance once you start to get fingerprints on it look at this so you have some options alright you go with a case or you go with the skin check that out that is the brand new D brand camo skin and you can probably tell no fingerprints plus it like has this cool shifting effect depending on the lighting I mean I don't care which phone you have so if you want the black camel you're gonna have to head over there I don't know maybe they're gonna run out I heard me I hope not but anyhow like look at that that's kind of cool for me personally I don't know what this thing can really displace the pixel in my pocket can the wireless charging get me back the variable aperture maybe I use this a little bit more and I'm just like wow that's gold I can't live without it the audio probably not enough for me right now the improvement there it's tough at the moment I'm a little bit undecided but I'm intrigued I think this phone has a real chance to be a major player in something that I could could really recommend for right now I'm skeptical this episode of unbox the repiy has been brought to you by Dollar Shave Club you're probably wasting time with your shaved
