Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus: Insanely Good Features and Major Upgrades

The newest and most advanced smartphones are here, and these got more than just ordinary features.

Introducing the Samsung S9 and S9 Plus. The two devices are major upgrades from its predecessor with a radical new adjustable aperture camera that works like a human eye, Dolby Atmos Technology surround sound, and many more. Indeed, these are the most powerful devices to have for personal and business use.

Detailing the difference

Size is the most obvious difference between the vanilla S9 and the Samsung S9 Plus because the latter is larger at 6.2 inches. The 5.8-inch works perfectly fine with the same resolution of 2,220x1,080 but pixel density wise, it’s great.

When it comes to the camera, one notable difference is the two rear cameras of the Plus variant. The smaller variant features a 12-megapixel shooter with a variable aperture but it only has a single lens, unlike its bigger counterpart. The Plus version added a 12-MP telephoto lens with f/2.4 aperture.

Samsung retained the IP68 water resistance, submersion up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes and the microSD storage expansion with support for cards up to 400GB. The headphone jack is still visible, and batteries have remained at 3000 mAh for S9 and 3500 mAh for Galaxy S9 Plus.

Battery charging remained fast wired and wireless but just got better with the 8-Point Battery Safety Check. Users can ensure durable and high-performing batteries.

For the memory, the Galaxy S9 has 4GB of RAM while the Plus has 6GB. Developers found ways to improve the processing power and RAM each year, so expect a faster performance just like the iPhone 8.

Despite the added features and better resolution, these devices are competitively priced at $799 for S9 and $899 for the S9 Plus at Phonebot.
