Love photography and want to buy an expensive camera? Why not Samsung Galaxy S9+?

Smartphones revolutionized the ways a lot of things were done before this amazing invention. A lot of companies were deprived of significant business as the gadgets provided by them were installed on the phone and were readily available. Ever-decreasing prices and continuous advancement in features urged people of different financial stature to buy them. As a result, a lot of brands invested in this field and we have numerous options to choose from.

The biggest rivalry of this industry is between Samsung Group and Apple Inc. Both these companies strive pretty hard to outsmart each other and attract more people to their products. Generally, the ‘S’ Series of Samsung is compared with iPhones of Apple. The latest phone launched by Samsung is under the title of Galaxy S9+.

There are certain features of this phone that attracted customers from all parts of the world. Great battery life, intelligent scan, and flawless display are some of them. But, one thing that supersedes all these features is its outstanding camera. It is clearly evident from the result that Samsung invested the most on this front and the result is worth every bit of it. A lot of companies around the globe copied Apple’s “notch” feature that they introduced in iPhone X but Samsung stuck to their tried and tested techniques.

A lot of people are comparing it with expensive cameras and the basic reason for this is its ability to capture images in less light. Variable apertures have been introduced by Samsung for the first time ever in S9 and S9+ phones. Hence, the sharpness of images is not lost in varying lighting conditions. Some details about its features are explained below.

Features of Samsung Galaxy S9+ Camera

Rear camera of Galaxy S9+ has 5 different modes namely Food, Auto/Pro, Panorama, Hyperlapse, and Super Slow-mo. All these modes make sure that you get the most awesome click every time whether you are in a restaurant, on a sunny beach, or in the dim light of a club. Super Slow-mo is for HD resolution and can capture up to 20 shots per video. Each shot provides 0.2 seconds of recording and 6 seconds of playback. Samsung has incorporated the feature of ‘Dual camera’ in this phone as a Telephoto camera, having a FOV of 45^o, is there to assist the regular Wide-angle camera, with a FOV of 77^o.

Consequently, it provides Dual Optical Image Stabilization and Dual Capture. It offers Optical Zoom at 2x while the Digital Zoom goes up to 10x. Bokeh filters are also available that allows the users to blur the background of the image. As discussed above, this 12 MP Autofocus camera comes with Dual Aperture. You have the option to select either F/1.5 mode or go for the F/2.4 mode. It all comes down to your needs and preferences with this smartphone as you have all the tools in your hand.

Shifting towards the Front camera, you will get an 8 MP Autofocus sensor with a FOV of 80^o. The Aperture you gets is F/1.7. All the selfie-lovers will fall in love with this thing as it offers Selfie, Wide Selfie, and Selfie Focus modes. You will hardly find any difference, in terms of specifications, in this camera and iPhone X. For sake of simplifying the issue, we have compared them so that you could compare the results on your own.
