A well thought out high range

The idea of ​​Samsung was to show something different but familiar, feeling all the power in our hand, a power that gives us the best performance for all the games that a Smartphone offers us, and Above all, there is no limit to any performance, besides presenting you with one of the best cameras that rivals easily with a professional.

Saying at this point that you will not be surprised by the aesthetics is another thing; is the same as the Galaxy S8. This is well-designed, of course . As for colors, I do not know what to think about, but its great feature comes from the camera, rather than the color of the computer.

At first glance, the Samsung Galaxy S9 looks a lot like the Galaxy S8. However there are some notable differences, because we have this the edges are smaller and we are presented with a glbad body with aluminum frames. It seems somewhat slippery and a slightly wet hand can be the perfect combination for a terrible crash.

The Galaxy S9 carries the protection Gorilla Glbad v5 both in the screen part as in the back, offering durability for these inevitable falls. Of course, like all the rest of life, they have limited resistance, so do not abuse falls.

Its minimalist design makes it very pleasant to the touch. The only buttons are on the sides, and still retain the input of 3.5mm Jack that is to say for the helmets we all use. To this, we will add that resists water and dust because it has the certification IP68 so you can immerse yourself in the pool with him or answer to calls during your swim ]

A great advantage of the latest Samsung terminals is the variety of unlocking systems . You can choose fingerprint, facial recognition, iris, combining them with a pattern or PIN. The proper operation of the fingerprint scan is considered to be late; It's fast and very efficient, and now that you've centered the scanner on the back better than better. But I opted for facial recognition one of the weak points of the previous S8. They have improved considerably and now it works in more adverse light conditions, although is not close to the iPhone X .

Its operating system is Android 8.0 Oreo adapted by Samsung which gives it a practicality in its use, although it does not use gestures like the others smartphones. All the main actions will be done with the bottom bar with the clbadic Android buttons, which are hidden automatically. Although it may be uncomfortable at first, we will get used to it.

Something that makes us happy is that they do not invite the screen to place features, as it happened with the phones of the world. other brands. All the elements, such as cameras, speakers and sensors of the S9, are perfectly aligned not to exceed the limits.

The strongest point of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is its main camera, showing a new technology for mobile phones that tries to mimic a real eye. This is a 12-megapixel camera, which rivals easily with SLR cameras known as professional. Doing different tests in different conditions has resulted in one of the best cameras for a smartphone.

The main camera of the Galaxy S9 has Dual Pixel technology, which is normally present in the C SLR cameras is an improvement in the automatic focus making it more natural and faster for photos and videos. By performing different tests, we see that they have a very fast self-badessment approach, and they also respond very well to the selection approach. But if we use the most manual focus, then the S9 also has it in one of its different modes.

We can control the ISO, the openness, the focus, among other details that will be the delight of photographers. One way that should be emphasized is the Super Slow mode, which is where we can do " slow motion videos " up to 920 frames per second, of course at 720p. However, the results are exquisite. We can select a place in our plan, so that when something happens there, just record in slow motion. For example, if we put the S9 and record a skater doing a pirouette, the camera will slowly record where we have selected the part of the video in which it will pbad. We also have the modes of Hyperlapso record video in fast camera, Selective Focus, Pan and Auto, which allows great performance by simply opening the application and taking a photo or a video recording

A detail that has improved compared to previous models is its reception capacity because the team has better captured the signal 4G and Wifi, especially the second at great distance. 19659029] Battery

Perhaps the only detail is that the battery is not what we expect . You can reach a normal day, without much use in particular, but it decreases if we play or watch a movie, or even when we check our mail or our social networks. In 30 minutes of continuous use of the game PUBG Mobile, less than 10% of the battery.

The problem with this is that they have not increased the capacity of the battery compared to the S8, however the processor does not give the autonomy to increase the use of battery. Fortunately, it is in the standard against other brands, providing from 12 to 16 hours on standby or 4 hours of continuous use on screen on . Remember that this is also due to the resolution of the screen.

Final Words

There is no doubt that the Korean giant has a strong technological position in the current market. His new high-end phone offers us everything he's promised, an evolution of his previous models, and as he says in his ad campaign, they've really reinvented the experience of a smartphone. . This is the phone with the best camera on the market (without using more than one sensor), and easily compared with professional cameras. It also has a powerful internal CPU / GPU and RAM system, capable of performing the most demanding game at its maximum capacity.

In Chile, you can find it in retail stores and operators at a price of $ 699,990 . so it's not a team for everyone, however, we are facing a high-end team, which will leave us easily happy for a while.

For my part, I recommend this team without hesitation all those who want to have a high-end equipment, with great features and a beautiful minimalist design. That really surprised me, and the S9 m convinced me to continue with the Galaxy family.
