The S9+ is a smartphone “without any real weaknesses in the camera department,” performing well in both photo and video regardless of the tested situation, DxO said. “Add one of the best smartphone zooms and a capable bokeh simulation mode to the mix, and the Galaxy S9 Plus is difficult to ignore for any photo-minded smartphone user.”
The phone’s signature feature is dual aperture support, allowing it to switch from f/2.4 to f/1.5 for more light, or simply for shallower depth-of-field. Most smartphones —iPhones included —can only ever shoot with a fixed aperture.
