Below is everything you need to know about the Samsung Galaxy S9. Samsung beefed up performance and battery life, added dual stereo surround sound speakers, and fixed one major problem from the Galaxy S8. Now, these two new phones could be the best devices of 2018.

To stay competitive with the iPhone X and Google’s Pixel 2 XL, Samsung focused heavily on things like AR, emoji, and the camera. That last one, the camera, is by far the biggest change. Well, aside from the new fingerprint scanner location. Samsung introduced an industry-leading and first of its kind variable aperture camera that physically changes so you get the best photo at any moment.

Variable Aperture Camera(s)

The biggest change with the Galaxy S9 is the camera. Samsung made huge changes and completely redesigned the cameras in these phones.  Think about the photos your phone struggles to take. At a concert late at night, hanging out with friends at the bar, or doing anything indoors or with poor lighting conditions.  The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ won't have a problem with those shots. That's because just like the human eye opens wide in a dark room and adjusts so you can see, the Galaxy S9 lens changes aperture at night. Going between a f/1.5 aperture, to a wide, bright f/2.4 aperture if you're outdoors.  This way you'll get the best possible aperture and camera lens for a low-light photo at night or indoors. But then when you go outside it shrinks, just like human eyes, to capture more detail.  Basically, the Galaxy S9 camera physically moves, and changes, on the fly for the best photo in any situation.
