The way we express<\/span> ourselves has evolved from the verbal to the visual. Today, we communicate with images\u2014Snaps, GIFs, emojis, and Instagrams. We don\u2019t just take pictures, we share stories. And because the way we communicate has changed, we believe the phone needs to change along with it. With the Galaxy S9+<\/a>, Samsung introduced our most advanced camera ever.<\/p>\n

And now DxOMark\u2014the trusted industry standard for camera and lens image quality measurements and ratings\u2014has just announced that the Galaxy S9+ has earned the top spot in their mobile camera rankings<\/a>. With a score of 99 points, we\u2019ve earned DxOMark\u2019s highest-ever combined photo and video rating for a smartphone camera. The Galaxy S9+ photo score from DxOMark is 104 points \u2013 the highest ever photo score from the organization.<\/p>\n

Among all the exciting innovations, two technical innovations did more than any others to push the Galaxy S9+ to the top of the DxOMark rankings: the Dual Aperture[1]<\/a> and the Super Speed Dual Pixel Sensor. They work together to help you take amazing photos in any lighting condition and capture everyday epic moments.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever taken a grainy photo at a dimly lit birthday dinner or frowned as your friend\u2019s smile got washed out by bright sunlight, then you know that most of the time we take photos in imperfect light. The Dual Aperture lens automatically adapts like the human eye, and with an F stop of 1.5 it\u2019s the widest lens of any smartphone\u2014delivering the brightest possible pictures in extreme low-light environments. Meanwhile, the Super Speed Dual Pixel sensor goes to work, using its dedicated processing power and memory to combine up to 12 distinct images into one amazing, high-quality photo.<\/p>\n

DxOMark\u2019s ranking affirmed the value of these camera innovations with every photo we take\u2014from midnight to high noon. But they\u2019re not the only reasons you\u2019ll want to experience for yourself what the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ camera does to reimagine<\/a> the way you communicate, share and experience the world.<\/p>\n

In Super Slow-mo mode, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ lets you capture 960 frames per second\u2014four times more than the Galaxy S8. While manual capture gives you complete control of the shot, the new Automatic Motion Detection mode will start recording as soon as it senses movement in the frame. After capturing the shot, music is added automatically and instantly creates three shareable GIFs to easily share with friends and family.<\/p>\n

There are even more ways to personalize what you create and share with the new camera with augmented reality (AR) technology. Using advanced AR technology, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ analyze a 2D image of you and creates a 3D animated AR Emoji, a personalized emoji that\u2019s uniquely you. AR Emoji messages are saved in a standard AGIF file format, so you can send them to anyone using your favorite messaging app. To create one, it\u2019s as easy as taking a selfie.<\/p>\n

The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ AR technology also reimagines the way you interact with the world around you. Bixby<\/a>, Samsung\u2019s intelligence platform, is integrated into the camera and automatically overlays information directly on top of the image the camera is pointing at. With new Bixby features[2]<\/a> built right within the camera, you don\u2019t have to go through several steps or applications to get information about local landmarks, read a foreign menu or street sign in 54 different languages with Live Translation[3]<\/a>, or shop[4]<\/a>. If you see a cool product, Bixby will show you shopping options from retailers such as Walmart and Sam’s Club. The new Makeup feature lets you try on different looks and shop for your favorites. You can even point the camera at the meal in front of you, and in conjunction with AI, Bixby can estimate the calories and track them in Samsung Health.<\/p>\n

As I hope you can see, we did more than design a new smartphone camera. We reimagined it so you can capture the perfect image in almost any light, capture moments and tell stories in new, creative ways.<\/p>\n
