Samsung is preparing its response to animated emoticons on the iPhone X. According to insiders, users of the flagship Galaxy S9 and S9 + smartphones will also be able to create 3D emoji, twisting in front of the front camera.

Why wait?

The official name of the new function is not reported. The selected character will repeat the user's face in real time, while rumors promise a more accurate tracking of facial expressions in comparison with the Apple version. Approximately the same promised to Huawei at the presentation of its face recognition system last year, but the Chinese company has not yet announced devices supporting this technology.

By the way, to identify the owner of the Samsung Galaxy S9, Intelligent Scan is used . It combines face recognition with a frontal 8-megapixel camera and an iris scanner.

The main flagship camera is 12-megapixel, with a variable aperture of f / 1.5 or f / 2.4. It can record video at a speed of 480 frames per second, and the Plus version also has an auxiliary 12-megapixel module. The fingerprint scanner moved under the camera's peephole to make it easier to reach it.

On a recent photo of the new DeX Pad, we did not notice the second hole for the promised stereo speakers. It turns out that the second speaker was located on the side of the case (probably, like the Galaxy A8 in 2018). As a result, there is room for the usual 3.5-mm audio jack on the bottom.

As for the characteristics, we will be selling models with the proprietary chipset Exynos 9810. It bypasses Snapdragon 845 by the results of tests Geekbench , although this benchmark does not affect the built-in graphics (and the GPU is the strength of the mobile platforms Qualcomm). The basic versions are equipped with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal memory, the Galaxy S9 + will have options with 6 GB of RAM. The diagonal of curved displays will not change: 5.8 and 6.2 inches. The capacity of the batteries will also remain the same , but a slight increase in autonomy due to optimization is expected.

When to expect?

The presentation of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + will be held on February 25 at the Mobile World Congress 2018. Already in a few weeks after the announcement of the novelties will be on sale. Exact prices are still unknown. The more compact Galaxy S9 will cost about 900 euros, and the "plus" will cost already 1000 euros.
