Korean technology giant Samsung recently released Samsung S9 and Samsung S9+ in the Philippine and Dubai markets. The company proudly presented the cellphone’s camera as its main selling point.
Its camera features a dual aperture which automatically adjusts in low-light and bright-light conditions when taking a photo.
Another feature of the camera is its slow-motion feature when taking videos. With its 960-frame-per-second capturing ability, the phone ensures quality when capturing moments in slow motion.
Moreover, the cell phone also gives its users the ability to create their own self-emojis through augmented reality.
The mobile phone can also provide real-time translation by focusing the camera to signs with foreign language including street signs, restaurant menus, among others.
