The Galaxy S9 comes equipped with the bezel-less 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1440 x 2960 and 18:5:9 aspect ratio same as last year’s flagship. The heart is Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Octa-core processor coupled with the Adreno 630 GPU or an Exynos 9810 Octa Octa-core processor coupled with Mali-G72 MP18 GPU and 4 GB of RAM. The storage capacities available are 64/128/256GB with the provision for a MicroSD card for expandable storage.
Coming to the camera, the S9 features a 12MP rear sensor with a variable aperture lens meaning that the aperture switches between f/1.5 and f/2.4 depending upon the lighting conditions along with OIS. An 8MP selfie shooter is featured up front. A 3000 mAh battery provides juice for the flagship. However, the only key differences between the S9 and the S9+ are that the latter most importantly features a second 12MP sensor with a telephoto lens at the rear (dual camera setup), a bigger 6.2-inch screen, 6GB of RAM and a juicier 3500 mAh battery to keep it ticking on.
