Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus

📅 2018 📷 12 MP 🔭 2x tele 🎬 4K60
from $839

📖 Overview

The Galaxy S9+ pairs a 12MP main camera with Samsung's standout dual-aperture lens (switching between a bright f/1.5 and f/2.4) and OIS, joined by a second 12MP f/2.4 telephoto giving 2x optical zoom and depth effects. The 1/2.55" main sensor handles 4K video at up to 60fps and supports RAW/DNG capture through Pro mode, making it a capable low-light shooter for its era. There is no ultrawide camera, and the dual-aperture trick remains its signature imaging feature.
