Samsung\u2019s newest smartphone was officially introduced to the public this past Sunday at Mobile Word Congress (MWC). The new Samsung Galaxy S9 brandishes more than a few notable upgrades and improvements, acting as an interesting response to Apple\u2019s iPhone X.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the flashy new tricks up the Galaxy S9\u2018s sleeve.<\/p>\n

One of the major updates in the Galaxy S9 is the dual aperture camera. For those who aren\u2019t too keen to photography terms, the wider aperture makes it much easier to take a clear photo in dim lighting. The F1.5 mode pulls in light for dark settings, while the F2.4 mode automatically shifts to sharpen photos in light settings.<\/p>\n

Another exciting addition is the enhanced slow motion shooting, called Super Slo-mo. We\u2019ve seen the slo-mo rate provided on current smartphones, clocking in at roughly 240 frames per second. The Samsung Galaxy S9 takes a clear video and slows it down to a measured 960 frames per second, creating even more dramatic moments. This also lets you turn the video into a GIF, add music, and share instantly with one tap.<\/a> (Samsung)<\/p>\n

In response to Apple\u2019s Animoji, Samsung introduced AR Emoji, the camera that turns you \u2013 as in your face \u2013 into a live emoji. All it takes is a quick scan of your face through a selfie.<\/p>\n

Intelligent Scan <\/strong><\/h5>\n

Although facial scanning isn\u2019t exactly a new game changer, Samsung has combined an assortment of smart scanning to uphold premium security on the Galaxy S9. The options offered include iris, face fingerprint, pattern, pin and password unlocking.<\/p>\n

Display and Appearance <\/strong><\/h5>\n

The new Galaxy S9 sports a seemingly endless display with an edge-to-edge screen. The display was introduced on Sunday, along with the comment of \u201cand as always, you know, there\u2019s no notch\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0The bezel blends in with the screen for a sleek, unending look. Accompanying the infinity display are two surround sound speakers on both sides of the phone tuned by AKG. Samsung has definitely done its homework on video user capability as this provides a more immersive experience for the viewer.<\/p>\n

The exterior, although still similar to the Galaxy S8, is getting a revamp as well. Users will have their color choice of Coral Blue, Titanium Gray, Midnight Black or Lilac Purple.<\/p>\n
