More than just a camera

Today’s cameras are for more than taking pictures – they’re for connecting and communicating.

Consumers now want a smartphone camera with state-of-the-art technology, so that they can express themselves with high-quality images and tools to tell their own, unique story.

The new Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ cameras are built with these consumers in mind, with a Super Speed Dual Pixel sensor with dedicated processing power and memory that can combine up to 12 frames into one amazing shot with high photo quality.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+’s camera features include:

  • Infinity Display: a near bezel-less, full-frontal glass, edge-to-edge screen.
  • Super Slow-mo: Make every day moments epic with dynamic, slow-motion video that captures 960 frames per second. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ also offer automatic Motion Detection, an intelligent feature that detects movement in the frame and automatically begins to record all users have to do is set up the shot. After capturing the Super Slow-mo video, users can select background music from 35 different options or add a tune from their favorite playlist. Users can also easily create, edit and share GIF files with a simple tap in three playful styles of looping to watch the action over and over again.
  • Low Light Camera: Good lighting is the secret to any great photo. But often, photos are taken in less-than-ideal lighting conditions and most smartphone cameras have a fixed aperture that can’t adjust to low or bright lighting environments resulting in grainy or washed out pictures.

Similar to the way the iris of a human eye expands and contracts, Samsung’s Dual Aperture2 (F1.5 / F2.4) automatically lets in more light when it’s dark and less light when it’s too bright, taking photos that are crisp and clear.

  • AR Emoji: Samsung lets users create an emoji that looks, sounds and personalises their feelings.

AR Emoji uses a data-based machine learning algorithm, which analyzes a 2D image of the user and maps out more than 100 facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions, like winks and nods, for true personalisation. AR Emoji shares your real-life emotions not only in video but also with a range of stickers and uses a standard AGIF file format so users can share their emojis across most third-party messaging platforms.

  • Bixby: Samsung’s intelligence platform, integrated into the camera, uses augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide helpful information about a user’s surroundings.3 With real-time object detection and recognition, Bixby instantly generates information directly on top of the image that the camera is pointing at. Users can translate foreign languages and currency in real time with Live Translation, learn about their surroundings.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be available in Papua New Guinea on 16 March 2018. Both devices will be offered in Midnight Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple.

Prices range from K3349 for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ 64 GB and K4599 for the 256GB.
