In perhaps the most awaited announcement of Mobile World Congress, Korean CE giant Samsung has taken off the wraps of its Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ range.

Claimed by the company to be made for the way people increasingly communicate and express themselves more with images, videos and emojis, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ drive innovation with Samsung’s advanced camera. Redesigned with a new dual aperture lens that powers a low-light camera, Super Slow-mo video capabilities and personalised AR Emoji, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are designed to deliver an enhanced entertainment experience with powerful stereo speakers tuned by AKG, surround effect supported by Dolby Atmos giving the effect of 360° sound, plus a refined edge-to-edge Infinity Display.

The audio experience is complemented by Samsung’s Infinity Display. First introduced on the Galaxy S8, the bold, bright Super AMOLED Infinity Display blends right into the phone with virtually no distracting notches. With adaptive contrast enhancement, users can use their device even in direct sunlight. The S9 boasts a 5.8” Quad HD + Curved Super AMOLED, 18.5:9, 570ppi screen, while the S9+ has a 6.2” Quad HD + Curved Super AMOLED, 18.5:9, 529ppi display.

For those constantly on the move, the next-generation Samsung DeX empowers a mobile lifestyle by bringing a large, full-screen experience to the mobile handset. With DeX Pad, a new docking system, users can easily connect the Galaxy S9 and S9+ to a larger monitor, keyboard and mouse to expand the mobile experience.

“The way we use our smartphones has changed as communication and self-expression has evolved,” said DJ Koh, president and head of IT and mobile communications division, Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy S9 and S9+, we have reimagined the smartphone camera. Not only does the Galaxy S9 and S9+ enable consumers to shoot great photos and videos anywhere, it’s a smartphone that’s designed to help them connect to others and express themselves in a way that’s unique and personal to them.”
