Galaxy S9 / S9 +, five key points confirmed.

The news about Samsung's next-generation smartphone 'Galaxy S9 / S9 +' is being transmitted through various media. Recently, it has attracted great attention because of the release of design drawings and shell outflow photos. In particular, it is expected to be released in February, which is more than a month earlier than the Galaxy S8 / S8 +, which was released at the end of March and launched in April, and official sales are expected in early March. Some of them are expected to be held at CES2018 in Las Vegas There is a story that there will be unofficial disclosure of prototype products. In this context, the results of the Galaxy S9 + benchmark performance test, including detailed financials / specs, are making people curious.

Galaxy S9 / S9 Plus, five key points confirmed.

As the smartphone market moves into a dual system led by Apple and Samsung, interest in the Galaxy S9 / S9 +, which is the only competition for Apple's iPhone X, is increasing. Apple's "iPhone X" is showing off its bezel design, 5.8-inch OLED display, 3D face recognition system, dual camera, AR function and wireless charging function. One product is 'Galaxy S9 / S9 +'. In addition to the expectation that we will show the previous-generation spec, we are attracting attention as various information about "Gal9 / S9 +" is transmitted recently.

Galaxy S9 + with dual camera. However, 'Galaxy S9' is a single camera.

It is the dual camera of 'Galaxy S9' series that many people are interested in. The Galaxy S9 and S9 + also seemed to be equipped with a dual camera, but Galaxy S9 has a dual camera and Galaxy S9 + has a dual camera. It is. This is considered to be part of Samsung's two-track strategy.

Positioning the camera and changing the position of the fingerprint sensor.

In the S9 / S9 +, the fingerprint sensor is known to be located at the bottom of the camera. There is a positive response to this change, and it is generally accepted that using a fingerprint sensor will be more convenient.

A two-track strategy of generic and premium products.

If you look at the case of the Galaxy S8 / S8 +, there is not much difference in the rest except for "screen size". Of course, the 'Gal8 S8 +' 6GB RAM product was introduced as a limited edition but it is difficult to see it as a special / premium division because it is a special edition. However, 'Galaxy S9 / S9 +' is expected to be clear between the general and premium. The difference between a single camera and a dual camera, 'Gal9' is 6GB, but 'Gal9' will be released with 2GB of 4GB / 6GB.

With the highest-performance processor, it displays the best performance ever.

   Galaxy S9 / S9 + is main processor, Samsung's EXINUS 9810 (Korea, Asia, Europe etc) and Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 (North America) respectively. These are made through the latest semiconductor technology, the 10-nanometer second-generation process, which is known to increase system speed and power use efficiency by 20-30%. In fact, the latest benchmark performance test confirmed that the single-core score was 20% and the multi-core score was 30% better than the 'Gal8', so I actually booked the 'best performance' smartphone.

A slimmer bezel makes the design neater.

    Both Galaxy S9 / S9 + and Galaxy S8 / S8 + series are not easy to feel the design change in big frame, but you can see that 'Gal9 / S9 +' bezel is thinner. Design drawings, CAD images, and other mock-ups have been introduced, and several rendered images have been made to reflect the 'thinner bezel', which allows for a more sleeker body and a wider-looking screen There is. The bezel area is an overall cleaner image.

In some cases, the Galaxy S9 is also somewhat disappointing with its single camera. Many people were expecting a dual camera, but it is disappointing that only the 'Gal S9 +' is equipped with a dual camera, and since all of the competitors are equipped with dual cameras, Are gathered together. It is a combination of iris recognition function and face recognition function which is expected to be a further feature, but the specific story is not known. I will be interested to see what products Samsung will show. Thank you.
