Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
Samsung's latest phones are definitely iterative updates over last year's dramatically redesigned Galaxy S8 series, but that's OK: Samsung fixes a lot of the original's issues while making drastic improvements to the camera and biometrics systems.
What are the big changes over the S8 series? In a word, the camera. Samsung has kept the primary sensor at 12 megapixels, but that's where the similarities end. The S9 and S9+ have adjustable apertures, switching seamlessly between f/1.5 and f/2.4.
The S9 runs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor has 6GB of RAM; comes with 64GB of storage and support for microSD cards; has a 3,500mAh battery; is IP68 dust and water resistant; and supports both fast wired and fast wireless charging. Like the S8, the S9 is a gigabit phone, but this year it can support speeds up to 1.2Gbps and supports 600MHz frequencies for T-Mobile.
The Galaxy S9+ also gets a second 12MP sensor with a "telephoto" lens that provides 2x lossless zoom, and facilitates Live Focus, Samsung's version of portrait mode that debuted with the Galaxy Note 8.
In terms of specs, the Galaxy S9+ has an extra two gigabytes of RAM over the regular S9, which is different from last year's models. And, obviously, the fingerprint sensors have been relocated to a much more sensible place on the back of the phone — below the now-vertical camera modules.
