Description
The Samsung Galaxy S9 redefines everything you thought you knew and loved about smartphones. With its amazing capabilities, super-fast connectivity and outstanding looks the latest Samsung smartphone is in high-demand and available here at BT Shop.
If you’re interested in making the switch to a Samsung Galaxy smartphone or perhaps you’re looking to upgrade from your existing model, we’ve got everything you need to know about the new Samsung Galaxy S9 including price, specs, features and more right here.
What are the key features of the Samsung Galaxy S9?
The new Samsung Galaxy S9 enables you to capture stunning pictures in bright daylight and even super low light, ensuring that you never miss that perfect moment. The dual-aperture lens adapts just like the human eye meaning that the Samsung Galaxy camera switches seamlessly between various lights and conditions come rain or shine, day or night.
In the past smartphone cameras would be left redundant once it goes dark or when you go indoors, but the F1.5 aperture mode finds light even in the darkest of conditions helping you to take vibrant photos late into the night.
If you’re more of a videographer than a photographer, then you can take your video skills to a whole new level with the new Galaxy S9. You can shoot video at an incredible 960 frames per second and then showcase your directing skills by adding Super Slow-motion bursts to your video for dramatic moving images or spotlighting one key moment.
The full-device or infinity display means that users who enjoy watching video as well as making them, can do so in complete clarity. The 18:5:9 display ratio gives you a cinematic view so you can hold less and see more than ever before. Completing the cinema experience are the speakers that have been tuned by AKG and enhanced with Dolby Atmos for the purest surround sound available on a mobile device.
Another excellent feature with the new Galaxy S9 is the wireless charging capability. Everyone hates scrambling around in search of a charger, especially at work, but with the Galaxy S9 you can charge wirelessly. This means you have a safe, convenient place to put your phone when not in use either at home or at work, and it will charge your phone up without the need for a plug socket.

Dolby Atmos for Mobile
Dolby Atmos® for Mobile creates an amazing mobile entertainment experience with breathtaking, moving audio—sound that flows around you.
Dolby Atmos for mobile devices works over any pair of headphones and is custom-tuned to get the most out of built-in stereo speakers. Not only does it deliver the best experience for Dolby Atmos content, it also greatly improves the sound of music, games, and television shows in any format on your device. It provides crisper dialogue, a more enveloping soundfield, greater subtlety and nuance, maximized loudness without distortion, and consistent playback volume for a wide variety of content.
Listen to the below video through your headphones for the full Dolby Atmos experience:
Samsung Knox - Block bad guys at every layer.
Protect your sensitive data from prying eyes with the security of Samsung Knox. It's built into the phone from the chip up to make the Galaxy S9 and S9+ secure to the core.
Intelligent Scan - Instantly unlock when and where you need to.
Access your phone easily with convenient technology that combines face recognition and iris scan. When face recognition needs help, iris scan kicks in to verify you—and vice versa. So your phone can identify you even in low light.
Open with a look, a tap, a pattern, or a PIN. There's a wide range of options you can use to keep your phone locked until you want it.
Water and dust resistance - Make a splash with the remarkable water-resistant phone.
Don't be afraid to go out and get wet. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ have an IP68 rating, meaning you don't have to stop texting or taking photos just because it's raining.
Wireless charging - Charging up won’t tie you down.
Don't fumble with charging cables when you need to recharge. Place your phone on the wireless charger to power up with ease. And because it props up your phone at a comfortable angle, you can keep streaming and texting.
(Wireless charger, power cord, and adapter sold separately.)
