Samsung and MWC 2018

This year's MWC is turning out to be something of an interesting and yet lackluster event. Samsung which is, was, and has most of the limelight still seems less appealing than it's last year's offering and more of a follow-up than a class leading behemoth in the mobile world with it's newly announced Galaxy S9 line. Now before you get all hot and bothered let me say this is just a preliminary assessment of what I've seen thus far with the S9 model and I have not had personal time with them enough to say for certain that they aren't absolutely amazing devices. The screens are gorgeous as last year's models were and also slightly different at the same time, not a bad different either. The star changes however are under the hood. With a newer snapdragon 845 processor it's able to crank out a bit more power and utilize the new camera features for facial recognition and Iris scanning as well and the new animoji like features. The rear cameras on the S9 and the S9+ are both capable of handling a staggering 960fps slow motion recording capability and auto aperature for better low light photos. There is plenty more if you're up for a good read but all in all I'm not so convinced it's a ground breaking update that they needed this year. Now on to the next article.
