Samsung Galaxy S9 VS S9 Plus Hands On - What's New?

2018-02-25
what's going on guys it's Travers consumer and yes you read the title right I got some hands-on time with the Galaxy S 9 and s 9 class and here my dots before we talk about all the new changes you know you guys subscribe to the channel because I'm gonna be giving away an S 9 and and s 9 plus so you got to be subscribed and look out for future videos where I'm gonna be giving one away now first things first this is what the phones will look like like previous models the S line is gonna be coming in with a 5.8 inch display and the s9 plus is coming in at six point two inches long and of course we've got that beautiful infinity display with vibrant colors thanks to that Super AMOLED display now the phone is gonna be coming in in three colors midnight black lilac purple and coral blue there's also gonna be this great option available but that's outside of the US now while they look pretty similar to last year's model there are a few physical changes like the fingerprint scanner that's now under the camera instead of to the right of it as well as some more discreet sensors in front of the phone and probably most exciting in terms of physical changes we finally have stereo speakers on the galaxy line and I had a little time to play with it and they sounded pretty good they're tuned by AKG and have Doby Atmos so if you're watching some content tuned for Dolby Atmos you're gonna be getting a nice surround sound feeling right from the phone and from what I couldn't tell they sounded pretty good but I can't wait to get this in house and really put it through its paces to see if it's anywhere close to the razor phone that one has really good speakers but outside of that that's pretty much where the physical changes stop I know a lot of people are gonna be disappointed by that but I'm sure Samsung is thinking if it ain't broke don't fix it so you still got your phone with an infinity display power button on the right side volume buttons on the left side as well as that big speed button you've also got USB type-c to charge it and guys it still has the headphone jack so kudos to Samsung for coming out with a brand new flagship device in 2018 with a headphone jack a dying breed but I'm glad Samson sticking to its guns and I know some of you are probably a bit disappointed that there were no huge physical upgrades there were some nice upgrades in terms of the camera and ass off we're now for me personally a good camera is a big deal the s9 has a 12 megapixel camera with an 8 megapixel front facing camera and the s9 plus has dual cameras with a wide-angle and telephoto lens both the 12 megapixels and also with the front-facing camera at 8 megapixels pretty much the same as last year's models and it looks like Samsung's taking the camera really seriously on the s9 and s9 plus by having a pretty strong focus in low-light photography as well as video the main wide-angle shooter on both the s9 n s9 plus will have an aperture of f28 4 but during the low-light it'll automatically detect how much light it needs and it can open up to 1.5 which is actually really nice but if you take your photography really seriously you can jump into the pro mode and change the aperture yourself with the press of a button and what's actually pretty cool is that you can physically see the aperture open up on the lens whenever you access this feature they also put a real focus on slow motion giving us 240 frames per second at 1080p and a mind-blowing 960 frames at 720p and for my everyday folks who are hearing these numbers I'm wondering what they even mean basically something that happens in a split second if you're shooting at 960 frames per second you're going to be able to capture that so something that typically happens in a flash you'll be able to draw that out and actually see it happen try not to my my ugly face here but that's exactly what I'm talking about and sometimes these things happen before you even realize and hit the record button but there's some pretty intelligent software here that'll detect the motion capture it before you're even ready so you've got it captured before you missed a moment but of course I'm gonna have to test this out in a real day-in-the-life let you guys know how practical and how useful it is so it's stay tuned for that and Samsung's really taken advantage of AI and a are here to add some really cool features to the phones the first being this new feature called AR emoji you can pretty much create an animated emoji with your face the camera takes a picture of you and you can customize it like add glasses change its hair color hair style and even its skin complexion which is really awesome and one of the limitations that we saw was the offerings in hairstyles re was a little bit disappointed that she couldn't find something represented her big natural hair but we spoke to some of the Samsung reps and this is of course software so more things will be added in the future and I was actually able to take advantage of one of these cooling features where she was able to try on different makeup right from the camera app and any of the makeup styles that she liked she was actually able to go in using Bigsby and pull up where it's from like Sephora and I think some other makeup spot but she was actually able to go ahead see something that she liked and find it directly online with the press of a button another pretty cool thing that they demonstrated was actually big speed translations big speed has the ability to right from the camera app see something that's in a completely different language and translate it in real time using augmented reality so this is pretty cool for signs if you're in another country or maybe you're looking at a document or you just need something in front of you translated it can do that in real time and you can even select the language that it translates it to which i think is actually really cool and while Samson's always had the iris scanner they also introduced facial recognition and they even have a feature where they combine the two and they call it intelligent scan and I found out the facial recognition and thankfully it's pretty fast but honestly these are all things that I really want to test out in the real day-in-the-life so you've got to stay tuned for that video but if you're interested in pinging when a pre others are gonna be opening on March 2nd so definitely mark your calendars and on March 16th are going to be available in stores but that about wraps it up for this video guys so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video but till the next one is your average consumer pace so much more s-line coverage to come
