Samsung has returned to shine at the Mobile World Congress 2018 (MWC 2018) in Barcelona. The South Korean technology returns to the main forum of the technology and telecommunications industry after a year of absence.

Samsung arrived in Barcelona to present the new members of the Galaxy family, the S9 and S9 Plus smartphones, with which they seek to take the lead in the competitive mobile technology market. 

In a first impression, the teams have a design similar to the S8 and S8 Plus presented last year. The teams repeat the design of 'infinite screen', but with a notable reduction to the upper and lower edges, in addition to improvements in audio systems.

The body of the S9, with a screen of 5.8 inches, stays at 147.7 x 68.7 millimeters, with a thickness of 8.5 and a weight of 163 grams. The one of its older brother ascends until the 189 grams and has the same thickness in a body of 158 by 73.8 millimeters.

Launching two teams is a strategy that in recent years has led Apple with the iPhone standard and iPhone Plus and reinforced last September to include in this equation the iPhone X.

What's more, the apple and the big 'S' now have a more than similar disposition in this aspect. If Apple has the iPhone X, the iPhone 8 Plus and the iPhone 8, the Asians have the Note 8, the Samsung S9 Plus and the S9.

Bet on the camera

As they made clear in all the invitations and the 'teasers' that they made so far, the camera was going to be the axis on which this new evolution of the Galaxy S would pivot. And in Samsung they have beaten a new record in what is refers to the opening of the lenses. Both the S9 and the S9 Plus will have a focal aperture between f / 1.5 and f / 2.4.

The development of Samsung, which unlike Huawei does not have the support of brands like Leica in this process, is the promise of a camera that resembles the human eye.

It will be progressive, that is, it will adapt to the light that it has at each moment. This means that you can take pictures in worse lighting conditions with better results. In addition, it has a multicapture system that takes 12 images simultaneously and processes them to reduce noise (up to 30% promise) in the final image.

The camera of the S9 will have a unique sensor of 12 megapixels, autofocus and optical stabilizer. The S9 Plus will have a wide angle and a telephoto lens (a provision similar to that of Note 8, with which they debuted in this double cameras) with dual optical stabilizer and autofocus.

In the section of the video, beyond the ability to record in 4K, we must mention the 'slow motion' mode, now able to reach 960 frames per second at HD quality. In addition, thanks to the built-in memory in the camera, it can be activated manually or automatically when it detects movement. One piece of video could include up to 20 sections of super slow camera.

Facial recognition and... animojis!

Precisely one of the minor changes, affects the disposition of the camera. The double lens is vertical and the fingerprint sensor below, in a more natural position than hitherto, which was at the same height. However, Samsung perceives it as a secondary alternative. The main one will be its new unlocking system based on facial recognition and iris scanner.

Another novelty is the 'AR emojis'. The comparisons are inevitable with the 'animojis' that Apple included in its iPhone X.

In this case, it is not about figures based on the emoticons that millions of people use daily, but based on a user 'selfie', the S9 and the S9 Plus process an avatar that imitates up to 18 expressions and gestures.

There are also others like Micky figures or some animals. To share it, just make a GIF and send it to anyone regardless of the phone you have.

Samsung also introduced the Exynos 9810, an eight-core, ten-nanometer architecture core, its first chip with artificial intelligence.

The battery is 3,000 mAh in the case of S9. In the S9 Plus it goes up to 3,500 mAh. It will be compatible with both fast charging and wireless fast charging. The internal storage is 64 GB, expandable to 400 GB. The software will be Android Oreo 8.1.

A short window of commercialization is foreseen and could reach the first markets in March.
