Samsung has unveiled its latest smartphones to the world and the Galaxy S9/S9+ are sure to be of interest to photographers who like to shoot with their phones when the DSLR has been left at home. Let’s talk about that all-new dual aperture lens feature first.
In the daylight, the camera operates with a F/2. 4 lens mode, but when darkness falls, or you find yourself in low light, the camera can switch to a even faster F/1. 5 aperture lens mode. Samsung say this dual aperture lens system; ‘adapts like the human eye, switching between various lighting conditions with ease—making your photos look great whether it's bright or dark, day or night. ’

The camera is built around a 12-megapixel sensor and there’s OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) on the S9 and dual OIS on the S9+. What’s more, the S9+ also features a bokeh filters function to turn background lights into shapes such as stars, heptagons and more playful shapes such as airplanes, hearts and bunny ears. If you’re using the smartphones to take pictures in the rain, you’ll be pleased to hear both models are water resistant down to 1. 5 meters for up to 30 minutes.
But there’s even more specs to get excited about because the Galaxy S9/S9+ features a insanely fast 960 frames per second super slow motion mode, which supports HD resolution and is limited to 20 shots per video with approximately 0. 2 seconds of recording and 6 seconds of playback for each shot. When you remember that most of the Samsung’s rivals only support 240fps, it’s clear this is a quantum leap forward. In fact, there’s even a Motion Detection feature so you can record when the action starts.

With all these cool features, it’s likely photographers will be snapping feverishly, but Samsung users don’t need to worry as the smartphone gives users unlimited storage via Google Photos. What’s more, the phones can take a Micro SD card of up to 400GB - perfect for when you are travelling and may not have signal to upload images. There’s also some impressive AR (Augmented Reality) technology that can turn portraits into emojis and photographers who travel will be sure to love the real-time translation feature that will help you read signs in your native language without any delay.

Photographers value security and the Galaxy S9 phones have got you covered. The Intelligent Scan feature is a fresh technology that pairs face recognition and iris scan to securely unlock your phone using your face, even in low light. There’s also a fingerprint scanner on the rear of the phone, too. The phones feature a near bezel-less, full-frontal glass, edge-to-edge screen infinity display and while the S9 screen measures 5. 8-inches, the S9+ is the bigger option at 6. 2-inches. Lastly, the phones features stereo speakers, too.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphones come in three colour designs; lilac purple, midnight black and coral blue. Although no pricing information has been released, the smartphones are expected to ship from March 16.
