Description
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has a dual-aperture lens that can automatically adapt to lighting conditions to provide for the best possible images in bright or dark situations. It also has a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 pixels and 18.5:9 ratio. It has a Mali-G72 MP18 GPU and a 3D Touch home button.
For 2018 the Samsung Galaxy came with a similar trick for the camera as they did in 2017 when Samsung re-envisaged the smartphone screen with the Infinity Display, pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
This time around, Samsung went as far as using the human eye as inspiration for the dual-aperture lens which can automatically adapt to lighting conditions to provide for the best possible images in bright or dark situations.
