Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+has been seen in MWC. As Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, it is equipped with a powerful camera system, especially Galaxy S9+, which is equipped with dual cameras similar to Galaxy Note 8. The main camera is also equipped with a variable aperture lens. In extremely dark light environments, it will use f/1.5 aperture to maximize the amount of light input. In bright light, f/2.4 aperture is used for best detail and clarity. In addition, the secondary camera of Galaxy S9+uses an optical lens with a focal length of twice, and realizes an ultra slow motion video mode through dual camera, which is the most powerful dual camera configuration in smart phones at present. The specific features of Galaxy S9+are as follows:
12 megapixel main camera with f/1.5/f/2.4 variable aperture lens and 1/2.55 inch sensor
12 megapixel sub camera with f/2.4 aperture lens and 1/3.6 inch sensor
Both main and auxiliary cameras are equipped with optical anti shake
The main camera is equipped with dual pixel phase detection auto focusing
LED flash
4K, 60 fps video
720p, 960 fps ultra slow motion video mode
For this reason, DxOMark also gave a score of 104 points for photographing, 91 points for video recording, and a total score of 99 points. The second place was Pixel 2, which was widely praised in 2017, with a total score of 98 points. Its photography score was 99 points, but its video score was as high as 96 points, so its comprehensive strength was also outstanding.
Although the total score is only 1 point ahead of the second place, in terms of photography alone, its score of 104 points is as much as 4 points ahead of Galaxy Note8 (99 points for Pixel 2), which is also a rare difference between the first place and the second place on the DxO evaluation list. In terms of specific items, S9+and Pixel 2 XL may win or lose. In most scoring, Pixel 2 still has some advantages, such as exposure and contrast, color, auto focus, etc. However, in terms of noise and zoom, the Galaxy S9+has a very large distance, such as noise S9+: Pixel 2=79: 59, zoom S9+: Pixel 2=65: 32, so the overall score has opened a large gap.
In terms of photography, although its 91 points are still far behind Pixel 2's 96 points, compared with its 84 points of the previous generation flagship Galaxy Note8, it has made great progress, especially in auto focus, which has risen from 65 points to 87 points in a row, which is a great leap. As the most influential manufacturer in the field of mobile phone photography/video recording, Samsung has raised the comprehensive ability of mobile phone photography to a new height. I'm afraid that no other model can surpass this achievement in the short term.
After checking the exif information of the DxO sample, we confirmed that the model used in this DxO is the European version of Galaxy S9+, the model is SM-G965F, the processor is Exynos 9810, the supporting is Samsung's own SAK2L3, and the firmware version is G965FXXU1ARB3. It is likely that this firmware is a special version optimized and adjusted by Samsung for the purpose of pair testing, which is different from the retail version purchased by the Bank of China. The retail version of Bank of China will use the combination of Snapdragon 845+IMX345, so the camera system is very different from the European version, which uses a full set of Samsung solutions, namely Exynos 9810+SAK2L3.
