Samsung Galaxy S9 - 10 Things Before Buying! #Helpful Post

so this is the galaxy s 9 in glorious

lilac purple it also comes midnight

black and blue

you guys johnathan here get excited

because the galaxy s 9 and s 9 plus are

official I got a pretty cool trick up to

sleep it impress me I got to go hands-on

with them and these are 10 things to

know before buying

so first up ins May inherently

disappoint some people out there and

that's the fact the galaxy s 9 it's not

a redesign but rather it takes

everything that was good about the

galaxy s 8 and even the things that were

lacking and improves upon them in pretty

much every possible way we still see

that same beautiful 18 and 1/2 by 9

infinity display the galaxy s 9 size is

in a 5.8 inches whereas galaxy s 9 plus

is 6.2 inches now the big difference

between the galaxy s 9 plus and s 9

aside from screen size is going to be

RAM and battery life with the s 9 plus

you get 6 gigabytes versus 4 on the S 9

and then with battery life you're

getting 3,500 milliamp hours in the s 9

plus vs. 3000 on the s 9 I realized

those numbers might be slightly

disappointing for some people out there

but the good news is especially for

those in the u.s. is the snapdragon 845

inside these will not only lead to

better performance but also better

efficiency which should translate to

overall better battery life now the

other giant difference between these two

is going to be dual cameras and the S 9

plus you get a wide angle on a telephoto

lens very similar to what we saw on the

Galaxy Note 8 versus the single shooter

on the galaxy s 9 from that number 2

speaking of cameras both the s 9 + + S 9

have a really cool trick up its sleeve

variable aperture so the best way to

imagine this is the camera on the galaxy

s 9 essentially is going to react to

light in a very similar way to how your

eyes would you're outside where it's

super bright effectively your eyes are

letting less light in and then you go

inside where it's a little bit lower

lighting situations and your eyes adjust

and let more light in the same thing is

happening here where the camera on the

galaxy s 9 will adjust and adapt and

effectively switch the f-stop from 2.4

down to 1.5 that lets a ton more light

in the crazy cool thing is you can

actually see this happening that in turn

should lead to much better low-light

performance I'm super excited to check

that out for the full review and if you

have me it definitely feel free to

subscribe so you don't miss out on that

video now to clarify because the whole

variable aperture and dual cameras on

the s 9 + vs. single camera on the

nine might be a little confusing the way

that works is both phones do get

variable aperture but the s9 plus that's

going to be on its main wide-angle lens

whereas the telephoto lens is only F two

point four next from there we're gonna

jump over to video and the third thing

to know is the Galaxy S nine could

record super slow-motion video up to

nine hundred and sixty frames per second

what's really cool with this is galaxy s

9 is smart enough to know and react when

the motion happens you're not having to

guess or react when that's happening

yourself I got a chance to blow up some

confetti which of course looks way

cooler in slow motion watching that back

on the galaxy s 9 everything about this

was all automatic so there's no

triggering no reacting it was simply

pressing record it knew when the

confetti popped out and we have this

clip from there beyond just saved in the

video you can turn it into a gift you

could even turn it into your moving

wallpaper if you wanted to the 960 fps

comes in at 720p so it's not the highest

resolution but still pretty impressive

nonetheless beyond that you can do 1080p

at 240 frames per second or up to 4k at

60 frames per second so there is a ton

of video options on the galaxy s 9 from

there number four in a world where

headphone jacks aren't that common

anymore where wireless charging still

isn't a standard on every major flagship

yet the Galaxy S 9 is packed full of the

essentials the headphone jack is still

there and I'm going to admit I actually

love and prefer wireless headphones but

to a lot of people that headphone jack

is a valuable and sacred commodity and

it is here on the galaxy s 9 give us BC

which in turn gives you quick charge 2.0

but you're the best of both worlds with

fast wireless charging as well microSD

card expansion and as of now there are

400 gigabyte microSD cards which will

work in the galaxy s 9 again it's not

new but the Galaxy S naught of course is

water and dust resistant so these core

features by themselves so not game

changes put together show that Samsung

has done a really good job trying to

accommodate to all kinds of users out

there next number five the Galaxy S 9

and s 9 Plus now feature front-facing

stereo speakers and if you've never had

that on a smart phone it is a beautiful

thing I got a chance to listen to this

at the event it was a little loud a

little noisy so it wasn't the best

environment to really form an opinion

but at the very least you could still

hear a really big difference between the

galaxy s 9 and s 8 from there beyond the

stereo speakers there was no Dolby Atmos

support and talking to Samsung again

they're ideal with this was the

refinement process with the Galaxy s8

and it's Infiniti

that kind of kicked off the ultimate

viewing experience with the Galaxy S

nine that kind of takes that rounds off

the audio experience so now you get the

best of both worlds next to number six

Samsung listen to everybody that

complained about the terrible location

of the fingerprint read on the galaxy s

8 and moved it to on the galaxy s 9 so

no longer do you have to move your

finger around in an awkward spot and

kind of guess where it is to unlock your

phone now on the Galaxy S line it is

right below the camera which is a much

better location with that though that

means the fingerprint reader on the

galaxy s 9 is still going to be the main

form of security you of course can

unlock your phone with your eyes but

that's going to be the option as opposed

to the main form of security like

something on the iPhone 10 next up at

number 7 I'm not sure if AR emoji is

cool or creepy

what is a AR emoji you ask it takes a 2d

image of your face and then maps over a

hundred different facial expressions and

then translate that into this 3d image

that reacts to your expressions it's

almost like bitmoji in an emoji got

smashed together except just a little

bit weirder I will say weird or not it

is very responsive and works as

advertised so this is me moving my face

around as an AR emoji you can pop in

different backgrounds you can save it as

a GIF as a picture as a video the

possibilities seem to be endless I will

say guess the potential advantages over

an emoji is one you can record longer

than ten seconds and two you have way

more customization

either way though I'm not sure this is

going to be the main or most attractive

feature of why you'd want to buy a

gaseous 9 or s 9 plus if it is though or

if you're remotely excited for AR emoji

let me know with a comment down below

next up in Amer a big speed it's better

than ever now when I hear Bixby to this

day I still can't not think of bubsy

Bobcat I realize Bixby especially that

dedicated big Z button gets a lot of

hate but one feature that I thought was

cool on the galaxy s 9 is the ability to

instantly translate signs or different

languages through the camera previously

you would need to take a picture in

order to translate the text but now

through AR it is instant through the

camera and honestly it works really good

you can see if I turn the camera

slightly off access and then back how

fast the translation actually happens so

if you're out traveling I could see this

being really useful is this enough to

warrant the praise and full-time use of

Bigsby or even being happy with that

baby button I'm not sure if I'm quite

there yet but still it's nice to see

some useful features coming to Bixby

especially on the galaxy s 9 now next to

number nine along with the Galaxy S nine

comes improved index experience if you

remember last year I turned my Galaxy s8

into a desk set up because of decks that

stands for desktop experience now it is

better than ever with the galaxy s 9

it's actually more of an alternative as

opposed to replacement so you solve the

option to dock your decks setup but this

is rather an option where you can place

your Galaxy S 9 down and then use that

as a mouse and keyboard so the

touchscreen kind of very similar to what

we saw in Razer and project Lynda that's

happening here with the Galaxy S 9 where

you can plug this into a display then

use that as your control so the idea

with this is most places you're

traveling to will probably have some

sort of TV or monitor and this allows

you not to have to carry a keyboard or

Mouse and kind of keep things light

weight on top of that with those

performance improvements on the galaxy s

9 that's kind of where they showed off a

gaming scenario plug into a monitor I'm

not sure if I'm quite sold on the whole

gaming plugged into a doc kind of thing

with your smartphone for me I'd probably

rather just stay on the smart phone and

stuff but either way it's kind of cool

to see Samsung staying on top of this so

that's step number 10 is when you can

buy the Galaxy S 9 the answer that

shortly pre-orders begin March 2nd they

will hit the stores March 16th so that

is very very close typically samsung

announces their Galaxy S lineup in March

that in turn hits the stores in April

that's what we saw with the Galaxy 8 but

this year we're getting our hands on

just a little bit early so with that I'd

love to hear what you think of the

galaxy s 9 is it enough of an upgrade

what do you think of the colors are you

team lilac purple midnight black or

probably in my case coral blue hopefully

you guys enjoy this video if you did and

you are feeling life being awesome make

sure you guys smash that like button

again stay tuned for the full review

which is coming very soon this is

Jonathan and I will catch you guys later
