The Samsung
Galaxy S9 and S9+ fuel new discoveries with Super Slow-mo video, best-in-class
low light camera and AR Emoji for a more personalized way to express yourself.
Samsung Electronics
introduces the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+, the smartphones that reimagine the
way people communicate, share and experience the world. Made for an age in
which consumers 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
an innovative low light camera, Super Slow-mo video capabilities and
personalized AR Emoji, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ ensure users do not miss a moment
and make their everyday epic.
The Galaxy
S9 and S9+ deliver an enhanced entertainment experience with powerful stereo
speakers tuned by AKG, immersive audio with Dolby Atmos® and a refined
edge-to-edge Infinity Display 1– a key staple in Samsung’s
design heritage. In addition, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will come with the new
SmartThings app, which unites Samsung’s existing IoT services into one single,
smart experience.
“The way we
use our smartphones has changed as communication and self-expression has
evolved,” said DJ Koh, president and Head of IT & Mobile Communications
Division, Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy S9 and S9+, we have reimagined
the smartphone camera. Not only do 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.”
Camera Reimagined
Today’s
cameras are for more than taking pictures – they’re for connecting and
communicating. Consumers want a smartphone camera with state-of-the-art
technology, so they can express themselves with high-quality images and tools
to tell their own, unique story. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ cameras are built with
these consumers in mind, with a Super Speed Dual Pixel sensor with dedicated
processing power and memory to take amazing shots with high photo quality. The
Galaxy S9 and S9+’s camera features include:
·Super Slow-mo: Make every day moments epic with dynamic,
slow-motion video that captures 960 frames per second. The Galaxy S9 and S9+
also offer automatic Motion Detection, an intelligent feature that detects
movement in the frame and automatically begins to record – all users have to do
is set up the shot. After capturing the Super Slow-mo video, users can select
background music from 35 different options or add a tune from their favorite
playlist. Users can also easily create, edit and share GIF files with a simple
tap in three playful styles of looping to watch the action over and over again.
·Low Light Camera: Good lighting is the secret to any great
photo. But often, photos are taken in less-than-ideal lighting conditions and
most smartphone cameras have a fixed aperture that can’t adjust to low or
bright lighting environments resulting in grainy or washed out pictures.
Similar to the way the iris of a human eye expands and contracts, Samsung’s
Dual Aperture2(F1.5 / F2.4) automatically lets in more light when
it’s dark and less light when it’s too bright, taking photos that are crisp and
clear.
·AR Emoji: Samsung lets users create an emoji that
looks, sounds and acts like them. AR Emoji uses a data-based machine learning
algorithm, which analyzes a 2D image of the user and maps out more than 100
facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions,
like winks and nods, for true personalization. AR Emoji shares users’ real-life
emotions not only in video but also with a range of stickers and uses a
standard AGIF file format so users can share their emojis across most
third-party messaging platforms.
·Bixby: Samsung’s intelligence platform,
integrated into the camera, uses augmented reality and deep learning
technologies to provide helpful information about a user’s surroundings.3 With
real-time object detection and recognition, Bixby instantly generates
information directly on top of the image that the camera is pointing at. Users
can translate foreign languages and currency in real time with Live
Translation, learn about their surroundings, purchase products seen in the real
world and track calories throughout the day.4
Entertainment Reimagined
Smartphones
are often our go-to choice for entertainment, which is why Samsung created a
device that offers premium sound experiences with stereo speakers tuned by AKG.
Whether users are watching their favorite movie or streaming their favorite
artist’s latest album, sounds are clear, crisp and rich in quality. The Galaxy
S9 and S9+ also support Dolby Atmos, giving the effect of 360-degree sound.
The Galaxy
S9 and S9+ audio experience is complemented by Samsung’s revolutionary 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.
A Device that Fits with the Connected Lifestyle
As the
first smartphone to support the new SmartThings app, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are
the central hub to manage every facet of the connected lifestyle at home, at
the office or on the go. The SmartThings app will be introduced with the Galaxy
S9 and S9+ and will connect to other Samsung and non-Samsung devices.
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 the 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
with enhanced document editing or even full-screen gaming.5Users can
also transform the Galaxy S9 and S9+ into a Touch Pad with the DeX Pad.6
The Best Comes Standard with the Galaxy Foundation
Samsung
sets the gold standard for smartphones with IP687 water and
dust resistance and wireless charging and goes a step beyond with the Galaxy S9
and S9+. The devices now support expandable memory of up to 400GB with a Micro
SD Card and are equipped with the latest premium application processors
offering powerful performance and sophisticated image processing.
In
addition, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ give users the peace of mind knowing that their
phone is protected by Knox 3.1, Samsung’s latest defense-grade security
platform. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ support three different biometric
authentication options – iris, fingerprint, and facial recognition – so users
can choose the way they want to protect their device and applications. The
devices feature Intelligent Scan, a new verification that intelligently uses
the collective strength of iris scanning and facial recognition technology to
quickly and conveniently unlock a user’s phone in various situations. The
Galaxy S9 and S9+ also introduce Dedicated Fingerprint, giving users the option
to use a different fingerprint to access Secure Folder than the one used to
unlock the phone.
The Galaxy
S9 and S9+ take health to the next level with an improved optical sensor built
directly into the device, providing richer, more accurate information on users’
health status. This sensor allows the Galaxy S9 and S9+ to keep track of users’
Heart Load Factor, a new measurement of the real-time demand placed on the
heart.8
The Galaxy
S9 and S9+ will be available starting in March 16, 2018 in select markets and
will be offered in Midnight Black, Titanium Gray, Coral Blue and a new hue,
Lilac Purple.

The future of mobile computing came to
life with the new HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series and the World’s
First 3GPP 5G CPE. The company also unveiled its ‘RoadReader’ project – the
world’s first driverless car to be drivenby an AI-powered smartphone.
Building on its success in delivering beautifully-designed and
powerful high-end mobile devices, HUAWEI Consumer Business Group (CBG) today
unveiled the HUAWEI MateBook X Pro, the HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series and the
HUAWEI 5G customer-premises equipment (CPE) - the world’s first commercial
terminal device supporting the globally recognized 3GPP telecommunications
standard for 5G. In addition to that, HUAWEI marked its debut as the only
mobile device manufacturer in the world to use an AI-powered smartphone to
drive a car through its ‘RoadReader’ project.
With stunning new design updates and outstanding performance advances,
HUAWEI’s new devices showcase the power of technology to deliver innovative
computing experiences ready for the mobile world.The ‘RoadReader’ project
pushes the boundaries of HUAWEI’s object recognition technology and puts the
learning capabilities, speed and performance of its AI-powered devices to the
test.
“At HUAWEI, we’re guided by a vision of an all-connected world, and to
achieve that goal, we invest significantly in research and development to
understand the ways in which people interact and connect with technology,” said Richard Yu, CEO of HUAWEI CBG.
“We’ve made it our mission to push the boundaries of what technology
and innovation are capable of. With the introduction of the new HUAWEI MateBook
X Pro, HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series and the world’s first 3GPP 5G CPE, we are
delivering on the promise to provide breakthrough devices that redefine every
part of the mobile computing experience.” he further
added.
Talking about the ‘RoadReader’ project, Andrew
Garrihy, Chief Marketing Officer, HUAWEIWestern Europe said: “Our smartphones are already outstanding at
object recognition. We wanted to see if in a short space of time we could teach
it to not only drive a car, but to use its AI capabilities to see certain
objects, and be taught to avoid them. If our technology is intelligent enough to
achieve this in just 5 weeks – what else can it make possible?”
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro and HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series will be
available in the spring of 2018 in China, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific
and the Middle East.
·HUAWEI MateBook X Pro
The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro is an
ultra-slim, yet full-featured 13.9-inch notebook with an all-new 3K
touch-enabled HUAWEI FullView Display and 91 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Powered by an 8th Generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5 processor, a
discrete NVIDIA® GeForce® MX150 GPU with 2GB GDDR5 and a long-lasting 57.4Wh
(Typical Capacity) battery – making it one of the lightest and most powerful
notebooks on the market.[1] The HUAWEI MateBook X Pro
features Dolby Atmos® Sound System and custom speakers that deliver breakthrough,
immersive audio for sound to flow above and around you, making you feel like
you’re inside the action.
·HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Series
Ergonomically designed with a 2.5D glass
screen and 2K HD, ClariVu 5.0-enhanced display, the sleek and powerful 8.4-inch
and 10.8-inch tablets feature speakers tuned by Harman Kardon.
HUAWEI Histen technology provides immersive 3D audio and fully supports
Hi-Res audio for
exceptional sound quality. The 10.8-inch HUAWEI MediaPad M5 Pro
comes with an ultra-precise HUAWEI M-Pen featuring 4,096 levels of pressure
sensitivity to make note-taking more realistic, easier and effortless.
·3GPP Standard 5G CPE
The HUAWEI 5G CPE is the first of its
kind supporting the globally recognized 3GPP telecommunications standard for
5G. Available in indoor and outdoor configurations, it provides super-fast
download speeds of up to 2Gbps and can operate on both 4G and 5G networks. The
HUAWEI 5G CPE adopts Huawei’s internally developed Balong 5G01 chipset – the
world’s first commercial chipset supporting the 3GPP standard, compatible with
all 5G frequency bands, including sub-6GHz and millimeter wave (MMW).
·‘RoadReader’
For the ‘RoadReader’ project, HUAWEI has
transformed a Porsche Panamera into a driverless vehicle that doesn’t just see,
but crucially, understands its surroundings. This means that can it can
distinguish between thousands of different objects including a cat and a dog, a
ball or a bike and learn to take the most appropriate course of action. The
project is taking advantage of the AI capabilities already in the HUAWEI Mate
10 Pro.
Most autonomous cars currently being
developed rely on the computing power of purpose-built chips developed by
third-party technology providers. However, as part of its ongoing mission to
make the impossible possible, HUAWEI has used technology already available in
its smartphones, demonstrating its superior functionality and ability to stand
up to even the most advanced technology developed for use in self-driving cars.
