Galaxy S9 Version Information
Just like 2017, Samsung will announce two powerful new smartphones. These are evolutionary changes compared to last year, not revolutionary. So they’ll look almost identical to the current Galaxy S8 and larger Galaxy S8+.
However, there are a few very important changes that Samsung has made to both phones. Although we have a similar design and the same 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch screens, the camera and software are very different. Samsung is running the latest, most secure Android 8.0 Oreo update. Then we expect an update to Android 8.1 Oreo at some point down the road.
The biggest change though is on the back of these phones. The larger Galaxy S9+ has dual cameras instead of a single camera. And these cameras have a variable aperture mode that instantly changes from f/1.5 to f/2.4. This is pretty technical for average users, but important. This means that the lens can be switched on and off and at different speeds, like the human eye, for the best possible photo in any situation.
Again, the release date and pre-orders are coming soon, and here’s what you need to know to get started. We’ll update the moment we know more.
