<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa</strong><strong> – 12 September, 2018 – </strong>The Galaxy Note9 builds on Samsung’s legacy of innovative camera technologies with an intelligent camera that takes the work out of capturing the perfect photo. Brand new functions including Scene Optimizer and Flaw Detection utilise artificial intelligence to help users get the most out of the device’s advanced camera. Together, this powerful combination of smarts and specs makes it easier than ever to snap stunning shots.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“We live in a country with a natural landscape that is awe-inspiring, from Table Mountain to The Drakensburg. The Note9 gives South Africans the opportunity to capture our landmarks, cultures and people through a lens that’s pixel perfect.”, says Justin Hume, Director: Integrated Mobility at Samsung South Africa.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Optimal Colour Every Time</strong></span></h3>
<p>Picture this: When catching a sunset during your holiday, you snap a pic with your phone only to find that the image on the screen hasn’t quite captured the majesty of the moment. The Note9’s new Scene Optimizer function makes it easy to photograph breathtaking moments just like this by automatically optimising camera settings to capture the full beauty of the scene.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4442" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main2.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="371" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4443" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main3.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="378" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Scene Optimizer utilises deep-learning technology to analyse objects, scenery and time elements in the camera’s frame to identify exactly which type of scene you’re about to photograph. The function is currently capable of recognising 20 types of scenes—including ‘Food’, ‘Flowers’, ‘Indoor scenes’ and ‘Landscapes’— and automatically adjusts the color tone based on how the scene is classified<sup>1</sup>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The function corrects the saturation, white balance, brightness and contrast to provide the best possible image. And because it does not require a network connection, it’s always available to help make your photos look great.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Snap Flawless Photos</strong></span></h3>
<p>Even the best photos can be spoiled by a simple blink, a blur, a smudge on the lens, or by harsh, overpowering light behind the picture’s subject. That’s where the Note9’s Flaw Detection function comes in. Once a photo has been snapped, the feature automatically scans it for flaws and notifies you if any are found<sup>2</sup>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4444" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_4.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="363" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The function helps users capture and save more memorable moments by ensuring that the picture they take is the best possible shot. Say you’re enjoying a special evening with friends and decide to immortalise it with a fun photo. Rather than realising later that your eyes were closed, with Flaw Detection you’ll be immediately informed of any flaws in your photo, so you can capture the memory with an additional shot.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Use The S Pen As A Remote For The Camera</strong></span></h3>
<p>The S Pen’s connectivity allows it to serve as an intuitive remote control for the Note9 that lets you easily manage key functions, including the device’s camera, meters away from the device. This means that when taking a selfie or a fun photo with friends, after launching the camera, rather than reaching for the shutter button (and possibly jeopardising your carefully framed shot), you can instantly snap your pic with a click of the S Pen’s button. A double-click will switch from the front to the rear camera, and vice versa.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Crisp Images In Any Lighting</strong></span></h3>
<p>Whether we’re at a restaurant, a concert, or simply enjoying a balmy evening under the summer sky, we’re constantly snapping photos in low-light environments. That’s why Samsung outfitted the Note9’s camera with an array of innovative technologies that allow it to produce stunning shots day or night.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4445" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_5.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="373" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Combining an F2.4 aperture lens with an F1.5, the brightest currently available on a smartphone, the Dual Aperture lens automatically adjusts to light just like the human eye, letting in more light when it’s dark and less when it’s bright to produce images that are crisp and clear.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Note9’s multi-frame processing technology adds further clarity to photos taken under less-than-ideal lighting conditions. This technology, which combines several photos into one to create an optimal image, allows the camera to provide better HDR at night, and enriches the Live Focus feature with improved brightness and noise when taking pictures in low-light environments.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Capture More Moments In Epic Detail</strong></span></h3>
<p>The Note9’s camera also includes support for Samsung’s recently introduced Super Slow-mo function, which ramps the camera’s shutter speed up to 960 frames per second to allow users to record spectacular slow-mo videos. Four times slower than traditional slow-motion video, Super Slow-mo is powered by the camera’s Super Speed Dual Pixel image sensor, which supports much faster image processing thanks in part to its integrated DRAM memory chip. The feature also includes an automatic Motion Detection function that instantly starts recording as soon as it detects movement.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4446" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_6.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="376" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Note9 allows users to transform 0.4 seconds of footage into approximately 12 seconds of Super Slow-mo video when taken in single shot mode<sup>3</sup>. Once a video is recorded, the feature automatically adds appropriate background music that makes the recorded moment even more epic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>More </strong><strong>Customisable</strong></span><strong><span style="color: #000080;"> AR Emoji</span> </strong></h3>
<p>The Note9 is absolutely packed with innovations that empower users’ creativity and self-expression, and the camera’s refined AR Emoji feature is one of the most dynamic examples of this. Capable of mimicking users’ movements in addition to supporting dozens of pre-set expressions, AR Emoji stickers offer a fun way to express yourself and inject personality into messages. The Note9 analyses your distinct facial features to generate a 3D avatar that matches your appearance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4447" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_7.jpg" alt="" width="705" height="324" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_7.jpg 705w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Stellar-Shots-Every-Time-The-Galaxy-Note9s-Intelligent-Camera_main_7-704x324.jpg 704w" sizes="(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px" /></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The feature, whose face-tracking function was recently enriched with more landmark detector points, has been enhanced for the Note9 with an array of customisation options that make it easier for AR Emojis to copy your distinct style. With loads of new outfits and accessories to choose from, as well as the ability to fine-tune details like your hair style, skin tone and facial features, the opportunities for expression are endless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note9 users will also be able to customise the backgrounds of their stickers with an array of new options and enjoy access to Samsung and partners like Disney’s ever-growing roster of AR Emojis based on iconic cartoon characters—a roster that’s set to become even more fun and diverse with the feature’s open SDK (software development kit).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If any smartphone can capture our nation in all its glory, the Note9 is it.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 9 August, 2018 – </strong>Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today unveiled the newest addition to its advanced business mobility offering: the new, <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-note9/">super-powerful Samsung Galaxy Note9</a>. The Samsung Galaxy Note series is truly a game-changer, offering its signature S Pen and larger display to empower the digital transformation of enterprise customers. Designed for customers who need a device that supports both personal and professional needs, the Galaxy Note9 powers productivity on-the-go from day to night, without compromising on security.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The impact mobile technology has had on business in the last decade is extraordinary and continuously evolving, driven by converging technologies that fuel innovation,” said<strong> Craige Fleisher, Vice President of Integrated Mobility for Samsung South Africa</strong>.  “Samsung has always been at the forefront of this transformation – a movement that we call the Next Mobile Economy. In this mobile-first world, all companies are challenged to rethink the way they do business.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Note series is Samsung’s showcase for premium technology and industry-defining innovation and the <a href="https://www.samsung.com/za/smartphones/galaxy-note9/">Galaxy Note9</a> is no exception.

<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Powering productivity on-the-go</strong></span></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<li><strong>Speed &amp; Power:</strong> the cutting-edge 10nm processor now comes with the fastest network speeds available in the market with up to 1.2 gigabits per second, meaning users can download and stream content without any lag.</li>

<ul>
<li><strong>Samsung DeX:</strong> by connecting a single HDMI adaptor<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a></em></sup></span> to a screen, the Galaxy Note9 transforms into a PC-like experience with a simple ‘plug and play’.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Powering your business</strong></span></h3>
<p>First-class security is now more important than ever to achieve enhanced mobility. The Samsung Galaxy Note9 combines defence-grade security with the most comprehensive configuration, deployment and management features on the market:<span style="font-size: small;"><sup><em><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></em></sup></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Defence-Grade Security:</strong> Samsung Knox delivers the industry’s leading security features to the enterprise protecting devices at multiple layers including hardware software and applications.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Streamlined Deployment: </strong>Knox Configure allows businesses to remotely configure devices in bulk to change settings, install software and establish policy updates for further protection.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Enterprise Management:</strong> E-FOTA allows administrators to control OS updates and security patches for an entire fleet of devices via existing EMM infrastructure.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Biometric Authentication: </strong>Samsung provides multiple options for authentication that suits different working environments including fingerprint scanning, iris scanning, facial recognition and Intelligent Scan.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>

Now, you can make the impact your business demands with the combination of powerful and simple device management, support from tailored partner solutions, customization capabilities and defence-grade security.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy Note9 combines advanced hardware and software to help businesses across all sectors, from manufacturing and retail, to healthcare and financial services, to achieve more through mobile technology.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Powering your day and night     </span>    </strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>4” Infinity Display: </strong>Featuring a stunning 6.4” Infinity Display, the Galaxy Note9 is not only perfectly engineered but also beautifully designed.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Most Powerful Camera: </strong>Shoot like a pro and capture the best of work, and the best of play. The dual aperture works like an eye, adjusting to any light so your team can take stunning pictures anytime and anywhere. Plus, capture optimization and instant flaw detection makes it almost impossible to take a bad shot.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Long Lasting Battery: </strong>Reflecting the importance of battery performance to power-users, the Galaxy Note9’s 4,000mAh battery is the largest-ever on a flagship Galaxy phone, allowing users to create, consume content and communicate from morning to night.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Featuring refined designs and Samsung’s most advanced cameras yet, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ offer powerful tools to transform how users capture special moments, express themselves and enjoy immersive entertainment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both devices offer a smartphone experience that’s personalized in ways that enhance users’ connected lives, and designed to reimagine the way that we communicate, share and experience the world around us.</p>
<h3></h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>1. A Streamlined Design</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1Kd05k6Z_Fw" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Both the 5.8-inch Galaxy S9 and the 6.2-inch S9+ introduce refinements to the Infinity Display that make Samsung’s signature screen even more striking.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>These include reinforcing the Super AMOLED displays with thicker Corning© Gorilla© Glass 5 and crafting the bezels and screen in a deeper black to conceal the iris sensor and create a more uniform, minimalist aesthetic. Both devices feature sleek, contemporary designs, and are available in a choice of four colours: Midnight Black, Titanium Gray, Coral Blue, and the all-new Lilac Purple.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>2. Make Everyday Moments Epic</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/z4LXuz3Mj-0" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s Super Slow-mo feature was designed to allow users to capture, in stunning detail, the epic, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moments that occur in everyday life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Super Slow-mo increases the camera’s shutter speed to a blistering 960 fps (frames per second), and is capable of recording video that’s four times slower than any other slow-motion mobile technology. Once they’ve recorded their Super Slow-mo clip, users may choose to save it as a GIF, customize it with a favorite tune, or display it as a wallpaper for their home or lock screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>3. A Low Light Camera That Imitates the Eye</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/F6yq6kgOUgQ" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Combining an F2.4 aperture lens with an F1.5, the brightest currently available on a smartphone, the Galaxy S9’s advanced Dual Aperture camera adapts to its environment to allow users to snap stunning shots in any light.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Just like the human eye, the camera automatically adjusts to lighting conditions to allow just the right amount of light to reach the lens. So whether users are enjoying a sunny day at the beach or a birthday dinner with friends, they can rest assured that their images will be crisp and clear.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>4. Express Yourself with AR Emoji</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3Hla9LsYfrg" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s new AR Emoji feature allows users to create their own realistic or cartoon-like emojis using the device‘s facial recognition technology. From a single selfie, the device analyzes a 2D image of you by mapping more than 100 distinct facial features, and then applies that image to a 3D model to generate an avatar that looks just like you and can imitate your facial expressions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>AR Emoji are fully customizable, can easily be shared with others and also used as a wallpaper for the user’s home or lock screen.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>5. Instant Insight into Your Surroundings</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eY_XbkU74eo" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung’s intelligence platform, Bixby, is deeply integrated into the Galaxy S9’s camera, and utilizes augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide users with a wide range of helpful, real-time information about the world around them.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>When the user points their camera at an object, Bixby recognizes what it’s looking at and instantly presents information related to that object overlaid on top of the image. This means that, for instance, a user on a business trip abroad would be able to utilize the Live Translation function under Bixby’s Text mode to instantly translate a menu or sign written in a foreign language, or even foreign currency, in real-time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>6. Snap Standout Shots with Dual Camera</strong></span></h3>
<div class="youtube_wrap"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QOHcORMfe0Q" width="300" height="150" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9+’s best-in-class Dual Camera features a pair of 12MP cameras – an F1.5 wide-angle lens with Super Speed Dual Pixel image sensor, and an F2.4 telephoto lens – as well as dual optical image stabilization (OIS) to ensure that photos are crystal clear even when the user has a shaky hand.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The camera’s Live Focus and Background Blur features offer users more creative control over their photos. The former allows them to adjust the depth of field at any point in the photo-taking process, while the latter lets users play with the focus of their photo’s background by applying shapes such as hearts, stars and more.</p>
<h3></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because our smartphones are often our go-to platform for entertainment, Samsung has complemented the Galaxy S9’s immersive Infinity Display with an equally engrossing sound system.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To make it easy for users to immerse themselves in their content, Samsung placed powerful, AKG-tuned stereo speakers into the bottom and earpiece of the device that produce rich, balanced sound, no matter the volume. The Galaxy S9 also features a Dolby Atmos effect, which carefully analyzes key variables in content’s audio to give users the sensation that they’re experiencing 360-degree surround sound.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>8. Enhanced Biometric Authentication</strong></span></h3>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9’s Intelligent Scan feature combines the collective strength of Samsung’s iris scanning, facial recognition and intelligent technologies to create a seamless authentication solution that offers users secure access to their device in virtually any environment.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition, the phone’s fingerprint scanner, which is now conveniently located beneath the camera on the back of the device, supports a new Dedicated Fingerprint function, which allows users to designate a fingerprint to provide instant access to their Secure Folder.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>9. Built for Mobile Lifestyles</strong></span></h3>

<p>In addition to allowing users to enjoy a full-screen desktop experience powered by their mobile device, the Samsung DeX software platform now allows users to transform their Galaxy S9’s Infinity Display into a Touch Keyboard and Touch Pad using the new DeX Pad.</p>

<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, 25<sup>th</sup> February</strong><strong>, 2018</strong> – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. introduces the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+, the smartphones that reimagine the way we communicate, share and experience the world. Made for the way we increasingly communicate and express ourselves more with images, videos and emojis, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ drive innovation with Samsung’s most advanced camera ever. 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 you never miss a moment and make your everyday epic.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 and S9+ deliver an enhanced entertainment experience with powerful stereo speakers tuned by AKG, surround sound supported by Dolby Atmos and a refined edge-to-edge Infinity Display – 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>“The way we use our smartphones has changed as communication and self-expression has evolved,” said Craige Fleischer, Vice President of Integrated Mobility, Samsung South Africa. “With the Galaxy S9 and S9+, we have reimagined the smartphone camera. Not only does the Galaxy S9 and S9+ enable consumers to shoot the best 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.”</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Camera Reimagined</strong></span></h3>
<p>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+’s cameras are built with these consumers in mind, with a Super Speed Dual Pixel sensor with dedicated processing power and memory that can combine up to 12 frames into one amazing shot for the highest photo quality possible. The Galaxy S9 and S9+’s camera features include:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Super Slow-mo: </strong>Make every day moments epic with dynamic, slow-motion video that captures 960 frames per second. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ also offers 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 favourite 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.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Low Light Camera</strong>: 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 Aperture<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1">[1]</a> (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 anytime, anywhere.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>AR Emoji: </strong>Samsung lets users create an emoji that looks, sounds and acts just like them. AR Emoji uses a data-based machine learning algorithm, which analyses 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 your real-life feelings not only in video but also with a range of stickers in uses a standard AGIF file format, so users can share their emojis across most third-party messaging platforms.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Bixby:</strong> Samsung’s intelligence platform, integrated into the camera, uses augmented reality and deep learning technologies to provide helpful information about a user’s surroundings.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a> 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.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>Entertainment Reimagined</strong></span></h3>
<p>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 favourite movie or streaming their favourite 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 bezels. With adaptive contrast enhancement, users can use their device even in direct sunlight.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>A Device that Fits with the Connected Lifestyle</strong></span></h3>
<p>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 S9 and S9+ and will connect to other Samsung and non-Samsung devices.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 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.<a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4">[4]</a> Users can also transform the Galaxy S9 and S9+ into a Touch Keyboard<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5">[5]</a> and Touch Pad with the DeX Pad.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<h3><span style="color: #333399;"><strong>The Best Comes Standard with the Galaxy Foundation</strong></span></h3>
<p><strong><br />
</strong>Samsung sets the gold standard for smartphones including IP68 water and dust resistance, and fast wireless charging. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ go a step beyond. The devices now support expandable memory of up to 400GB and are equipped with the latest premium application processors offering powerful performance and sophisticated image processing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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 defence-grade security platform. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ support three different biometric authentication options – iris, fingerprint, and facial recognition – so users can choose the best way to protect their device and applications. The devices support 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 any environment. 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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 and S9+ takes health to the next level with an improved optical sensor built directly into the device, providing richer, more accurate information on user’s 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 your heart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be available starting in March 16, 2018 in select markets and will be offered in Midnight Black, Titanium Grey and a new hue, Lilac Purple.</p>
