Samsung Galaxy S9 - Nine Things To Know!

Dave 2D here, and I've got some exciting news to share with you all. Recently, a big leak was made on the web, and it's related to the highly anticipated Samsung S9 and S9 Plus smartphones. The leaked information comes in the form of a recorded GeekBench score, which is a reliable source for verifying phone specs.

The first thing that stood out from the leak was the design of the S9 and S9 Plus. At first glance, it may seem like they'll be identical to the S8 and S8 Plus, but that's not entirely true. While they share some similarities, there are a few notable differences. For instance, the power button, volume rocker, and Bixby button will all be located in the same positions as their counterparts on the S8 and S8 Plus. However, one of the most significant changes is the placement of the fingerprint sensor.

The fingerprint sensor has been moved to a better location on the back of the phone, directly underneath the camera lens. This change should make it easier for users to access their fingerprint sensor without any issues or confusion with the camera lens. It's also worth noting that the S9 and S9 Plus will have a slightly different design language compared to the S8 and S8 Plus, although it may be difficult to tell them apart at first glance.

Another notable change is the processor. The new Samsung S9 and S9 Plus smartphones are expected to run on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, which is a significant upgrade over the previous generation's Snapdragon 835. This processor offers a 25% increase in performance, making it suitable for demanding tasks and apps. It's also worth mentioning that the camera capabilities have been improved with the new processor.

The video processing capabilities of the S9 and S9 Plus are expected to be improved, allowing users to record 4K videos at 60 frames per second. Furthermore, the Snapdragon 845 processor is capable of recording 720p slow-motion footage at 480 frames per second, which is a significant upgrade over the previous generation's slow-motion capabilities.

The camera configuration on the S9 and S9 Plus will also be different compared to the S8 and S8 Plus. The standard S9 model will feature a single lens, while the S9 Plus will have two stacked lenses in a vertical configuration, which is perfect for those who want to take advantage of depth photography capabilities.

It's worth noting that the S9 Plus comes with 6GB of RAM, whereas the standard S9 model only has 5.7GB of RAM. This change may seem subtle, but it can make a significant difference in terms of performance and multitasking capabilities.

One of the most exciting features to be confirmed is the presence of stereo speakers on both the S9 and S9 Plus models. For many years, Samsung has been missing out on this feature due to its premium focus on design and build quality. However, with the new S9 and S9 Plus smartphones, it's finally possible for users to enjoy high-quality audio without any compromises.

Finally, the iris and facial recognition system on the S9 is expected to be significantly improved over the previous generation. The camera will feature a high-resolution camera that should make the facial recognition process much more accurate and reliable. This technology has been gaining popularity in recent years, especially with the release of the iPhone X.

The last but not least, one of the most exciting features for audiophiles is the presence of a headphone jack on both the S9 and S9 Plus models. With the rise of wireless headphones and earbuds, it's surprising to see Samsung including this feature in their premium flagship smartphones. However, for those who prefer wired audio or want to listen to music without any interference from Bluetooth signals, this is a much-needed feature.

In conclusion, the new Samsung S9 and S9 Plus smartphones are expected to be minor upgrades over the previous generation, but they should still offer significant improvements in terms of performance, camera capabilities, and design. With their improved processors, better cameras, and enhanced audio features, these smartphones will certainly be a great addition to any smartphone collection.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enHey, how's it going? Dave 2D here. So there's been a lot of Samsung S9and S9 plus rumours that have been floating around the web,but a couple of days ago, a really big tell was leaked. It was a GeekBench score,not just like a photo of one, but there was a recorded GeekBench scorethat was uploaded to the GeekBench database, and that is HUGE because you can't fake those things, or it'sincredibly difficult to fake those things, and so with that GeekBench score you could confirm a lot of things that have been rumored about this phoneSo let's just get right into it, the first thing is the build. It's gonna look verysimilar to the S8 and the S8 plus, like to the untrained eyeIt's gonna be very difficult to tell them apartSame kind of design, same kind of aesthetic, same kind of form factor, power button, volume rocker, Bixby buttonIt's all there. The big tell though is on the backand that's thesecond thing the fingerprint sensor has been moved into a better location so a lot of people didn't like the fact that the S8, theS8 plus and the Note 8 all had the fingerprint sensorkind of slightly on to the right not the most idealposition because I think your finger would sometimes confuse the camera lens as being the sensor and just,it was difficult to nail it each timeIt's now placed right in the middle directly underneath the cameraAnd this should make it easier for most people to hit that fingerprint sensor basically every time they reach for the phone. Another thingthat's been kind of confirmed is the processors. This thing is now running a Snapdragon 845, which is the new one from QualcommAnd it's a pretty substantial increase in performance over the Snapdragon 835. We're looking at a 25% increase in performancemaybe a little bit moreBut keep in mind that the S8 and the S8 Plus are still really fastSo I mean I wouldn't go running out to buy the new phonejust because the small CPU upgrade. So with that Snapdragon 845 thoughalso comes a nice camera upgrade so the video processing capabilities are improvedIt should be able to record 4k at 60 frames per secondBut the crazier thing is the slow motion so the Snapdragon 845 is supposed to be able to do 720p at480 frames per second. That is super slow-motion, so I want to test that thing out when it comeswith that camera stuff though is the wholething about the two different cameras of the S9 and the S9 Plus are going to have different camera configurations right now the S8 and S8 Plusboth have the same camera; both single-lensS9 is gonna have a single lens, S9 plus is gonna have two lenses stacked in a vertical configurationJust one on top of each other so if you're into the whole like depth stuff and just having a secondary cameraS9 plus is gonna be your choice. Now looking back to that Geekbench score that S9 Plus is actually rocking six gigs of ramIt's only got five and change availablebut six gigs of RAM in the bigger model four gigs of RAM on the smaller S9The most exciting change for me, thoughAnd this is gonna sound really stupid for some people is that the S9 and the S9 Plus will finally havestereo speakers. I feel like this is something that's been missing from the Galaxy line forever. Like, it just never made sense to methat something with this kind of build quality, and this kind of premium awesomeness didn't have stereo speakersIt finally will have itAlright, number seven on the list the iris and facial recognition on the S9 should besignificantly better than the S8, so I feel like facial recognition stuff is just kind of popping upin mass right now especially with the iPhone X doing their stuffThis phone like the S8 didn't have a great facial recognition system. Samsung been putting this tech in their phones for a whilebut it's never been amazing. S9 should be quite a bit better; high resolution cameraThat's like a big thing for facial recognition stuff. Okay, headphone jack number eight that is awesomeThey've still putting in a headphone jack, and I think for a lot of people that's super importantAnd I think Samsung is one of the last if not the last company that's making those premium flagship phones that are like800-900 bucks that still includes a headphone jack, and I think a lot of people will appreciate it. In factI think a lot of people will actually just buy this phoneJust because of that one feature which is a good thing for Samsung. Okay last thing, it's gonna be running Android 8.0right out of the box, and they're obviously gonna stick the Samsung skin on it now if you know meAnd you follow my channel you know that I don't love skins on phones and themes on phonesI just like the whole stock Android experiencebut I will give Samsung this they probably had the best skin of all the heavy skins from 2017 andevery year, their phones get slightly less obtrusive like the software is just a little bit better of the year, a little bit less obnoxiousSo hopefully the S9 has some kickass softwareSo that basically wraps it up. S9 is gonna be kind of like a minor upgrade across the board nothing huge,nothing major,but it should be a really awesome phone because the S8Was really really good, like nearly perfect for a lot of people and now it's just gonna be even better. Okay,hope you guys enjoyed this video, thumbs if you liked it, subs if you loved it. See you guys next time!(Outro)\n"
