Samsung at MWC 2022: Galaxy S9 and the DeX Pad

The biggest mobile effect of the twelvemonth has wrapped upward and as usual, nosotros saw a lot of hustle and bustle in Barcelona. Due south Korean giant made ane of the well-nigh of import launches at MWC this year, and I accept some thoughts about near everything that Samsung announced. So hither goes my round-up of Samsung'southward time at the Mobile World Congress 2018.

Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus

When I said that Samsung made one of the virtually important launches at MWC 2018, these flagships are exactly what I was talking about. The Milky way S9 and S9 Plus are Samsung's 2018 flagships, and the Southward Korean behemothic is looking to carry forward the Milky way S8's legacy with these phones that come with the latest Snapdragon 845 / Exynos 9810 processors, a new and improved camera system and increased RAM (at least on the Plus variant).

Honestly, I have no complaints with Samsung sticking with the same Galaxy S8 design on the new phones. Later all, the S8 remains one of the most beautiful looking phones I've always used. Samsung's dual-aperture camera should definitely help in low low-cal — something that Samsung was already decently practiced at, and we tin now expect much meliorate low-light photos from Samsung. I really tin can't expect to stack it upwardly against the Pixel 2.

Samsung has stuck with the headphone jack, and I actually capeesh the company's thoughtfulness with that. Time and time again Samsung has proven that removing the headphone jack isn't required for h2o-resistance (the S9 is IP68 rated), or for slimmer phones (the S8 was one of the most comfortable phones e'er, and the S9 should be the same).

Samsung DeX Pad

DeX launched final twelvemonth with the Galaxy S8, and this twelvemonth, Samsung has improved upon information technology with the DeX Pad. While the idea is really cracking, getting a desktop computer experience powered by a smartphone, the software is still non mature enough, or at least that's what it looks like. Certain we tin apply most word processing software, and even play games, simply there were quite a number of complaints with the Samsung DeX last yr, and I'1000 not too sure how much Samsung has improved it so far. We can simply look and see.

Everything said and done, Samsung'south launch was pretty groovy, and there'south no incertitude the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will once once more prepare benchmarks in smartphone pattern and camera quality. I do fully expect this year's Pixel (Pixel 3?) to come up out with the best photographic camera again, but it probably won't even come close to the S9 in terms of design. Google just doesn't seem to exist learning enough virtually smartphone designs however. October is quite far off, though, and so Samsung has nil to worry about until then. I mean, zippo came shut to the Galaxy S8 camera other than the Pixel 2, and there's no reason to expect this yr to plow out any dissimilar.
