The USP of the new Galaxy S9 handset is its improved camera module and the latest powerful chipset. You can get amazing shots even in the low-light conditions. In video mode, the smartphone can freeze the fast-moving objects to smoothen up video recordings. The slow-motion effect on the device is believed to be great. How great? You can stretch out a fifth of a second in a video and make it a six-second video.
Do more with your Selfies
Similar to Apple’s Animoji, you can click a selfie on your Galaxy S9 device and Samsung’s proprietary software will generate an emoji out of it. You can later share this emoji with your friends. Based on a static image, the phone can produce an animated image.

The company is bundling dual stereo speakers which are tuned by AKG (Harman) which are ideal to get Dolby Digital 360 Surround Sound experience. There is a 3.5mm headphone jack offered on the device and the package comes with a stereo headset.
