We have reached a point with mobile telephony that, really, I no longer know whether to treat it as a telephone or as a mini laptop capable of making calls. And, seeing the Samsung Galaxy S9, I no longer know whether to talk about a camera with an Internet connection and the possibility of making calls, of a mini computer with a super camera, or how to present it, but it is clear that, what about Less, it's about making calls . Technology advances in exorbitant steps and, with each new model of these phones that appears, the most futuristic dreams come true. But those that I think we are especially in luck are the photographers and photographers, because the photographic improvements of these super powerful mini computers do not stop advancing in exorbitant steps. The Samsung S9 has not forgotten us, on the contrary, you will see that it takes us into account With its 12MP rear camera (what a barbarity) and with a aperture of diaphragm f / 1.5-f / 2.4 (yes you have heard well, aperture of diaphragm! And what a luminosity!) and with its 8MP front camera, we are reaching levels of photographic quality that those who deny mobile photography due to its supposed lack of quality, will have it harder and harder ;-). I already said once that mobile telephony had come to stay, and here we have one more proof. Let's see the main features of this Smartphone.

I speak as a photographer, it is clear, surely fans of video games, or watching series on the phone, or fans of social networks, call attention to some other aspect of its characteristics. But for me (and I assume that for you too), what has caught my attention the most is, without a doubt, the aperture of diaphragm of f / 1.5-2.4 and the 12MP camera, which promises good results even in small situations light, just as if it were a reflex camera lens (or evil). It has also caught my attention in a virtual assistant, called Bixby Vision, which has its own button, and that promises to instantly translate texts that you read through the camera, will tell us places of interest in a certain place, prices of what what we are seeing, and even what we are going to eat or how many calories it has. Amazing, right? For those who enjoy social networks and / or are hooked on WhatsApp or similar, it will also allow you to create your own emojis in image and likeness, with a lot of actions and customization possibilities. And I can't forget to comment on the possibility of recording videos in super slow mode of 960 frames per second, which is very, very slow, one pass . Oh, and if you're a fan of security, what's up, includes facial recognition, iris scanner, or fingerprint, as well as a system called Intelligent Scan that combines facial recognition with the iris scanner.WORST
We could say that the worst is the price, right? That may justify every penny of the investment, but if you also like the "classic" SLR (or Evil) photography and you have to think about disbursing also for the body of the camera, the lenses, etc ... maybe these types of phones Something left out of budget. Although if the price is not a problem, I do not think anyone regrets this smartphone virguería ;-).VIDEO
I leave you with the official video of the brand to present the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +:CONCLUSIONS
The Samsung S9 is a powerful smart phone, which pays special attention to the design, its infinite screen without borders and, above all, that bets strongly on mobile photography, giving us a main camera (2 in the S9 +) with a diaphragm opening very bright to work with excellent results in low light situations. Not to mention its 12 MP and its optical stabilizer. It seems that we are almost talking about a SLR ;-).
