Samsung Galaxy S9_ Low Light Camera 2018
At is very Good Action
Damien takes a deeper look at the Samsung Galaxy S9 camera in order to find out if it is as revolutionary as Samsung claims...
It's pretty clear that phone makers are running out of things to improve in smartphones.
Big innovations like fast charging, fingerprint scanners, water resistance, 18:9 displays and contactless payments have been and gone, and it's becoming harder and harder to come up with unique ideas that capture the hearts and minds of consumers and encourage them to upgrade their expensive handset on a regular basis.
That's certainly the case with the Galaxy S9, which – despite being an amazing phone with plenty of power, an amazing display and great software – doesn't really do a lot that's new and different.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Camera Specs
This year, Samsung has decided to focus (no pun intended) its attention on the camera, an element of the smartphone which most people use on a regular basis. If there's an area in which you can score big gains over the your rivals, it's here.
The big news this year is that the main, optically-stabilised 12-megapixel snapper has a variable aperture system which reads a scene for lighting and toggles mechanically between f/2.4 and f/1.5.
This means that for low-light shots, the wider f/1.5 aperture is used, as this allows more light to enter the lens. The entire process is automatic, but you can manually select the aperture you want using the phone's surprisingly robust Pro shooting mode.
Samsung has made this feature the main thrust of its promotional campaign for the S9 range, and with good reason; when shooting in dimly-lit locations the wider aperture makes the world of difference.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Camera Low-Light Performance
We've been repeatedly impressed by the S9's ability to capture images in dark environments without any degradation in image quality or noticeable image noise.
In terms of innovation, this variable aperture system is definitely fresh and new; if you're an experienced snapper you can use the Pro mode and deploy the f/1.5 aperture in other situations to achieve stunning visual effects.
The only thing that makes us think this could be a dead end is that phones like the Google Pixel 2 can capture images that are almost as good in low light, yet they don't use a variable aperture.
Handling this kind of thing is software rather than hardware is obviously cheaper, and if similar results can be gained this way, we may not see many other manufacturers adopt Samsung's technique.
Having said that, the Korean firm's approach does feel the best, because it isn't using software to gain these results – what's in play here is photography 101, just like in a real camera.
