First look: Galaxy S21 and everything else announced at Samsung Unpacked [in pictures]
Browse all the products and highlights from Samsung's January 2021 Unpacked event.
These are the top features of Samsung's new Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus set to be released in mid-March.
The main camera on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus is a 12-megapixel Super Speed Dual Pixel (f/1.5, f/2.4) lens with a variable aperture. It adjusts depending on light conditions.
Samsung says it's the first to put adjustable aperture in a smartphone. If the Galaxy S9 is taking a picture in the dark, the lens opens to F1.5 mode to pull in light for a bright and clear photo. In the daylight, the lens shifts to F2.4 mode to help reduce the amount of light filtering into the photo for a sharper look.
The Galaxy S9 only has one camera on the rear, while the Galaxy S9 Plus adds a second 12-megapixel telephoto (f/2.4 aperture) lens that supplies 2x optical zoom. It's earned great marks in early testing.
