Camera And Battery

Despite the large number of specifications that remain the same, Samsung has included a few significant upgrades. These include:We've used Bixby Vision a number of times during our S9 Plus testing period here at the T3 office, and we've done so with a wide selection of languages, too, including Spanish, Italian and Japanese. And on the whole we've been impressed with the speed and quality of translation. You’re still going to have to stretch your fingers to touch the corners of the screen furthest from your grip – navigating Google Maps on the go, for example, can be a cumbersome affair – so if you’ve been hesitant to buy into big-screen phones your best option is the smaller Galaxy S9. This is a big phone meant for big mitts. Calorie Count: Point your camera at your plate, and Bixby will let you know how many calories you're about to consume.

Face Detection, Smile Detection, Burst Mode, Panorama, HDR, Night Mode, Automatic Mode, Bokeh Mode, Portrait Mode, Pro Mode, Variable Aperture, Slow Motion, Time Lapse Speakers: The speakers on the Galaxy S9+ produce noticeably better audio. Rather than the thin, tinny sound we've come to expect from Samsung, AKG-tuned audio and Dolby Atmos support greet the ears. The speakers have also been repositioned. They are now located top and bottom of the edge-to-edge screen.The extra 2GB of RAM over the standard Galaxy S9 (6GB) is also a good fit, and the 3,500mAh battery, while not noteworthy, will deliver similar levels of performance we're guessing to the S8 Plus, which itself was comfortably in a day's usage range with moderate use. Naturally, until we can test the battery fully in our full fat review, we will withhold any definite judgement. A second new feature is super slow motion video. Video can now be captured at 960 fps in 720p, 240 fps in Full HD, or 60 fps in 4K. An automatic mode has also been added. This begins filming as soon as soon as motion is detected.
