Samsung announces the Galaxy S9 launch, teases “reimagined” camera
Samsung just sent out invites for the announcement of its next flagship smartphone. The Galaxy S9 will debut February 25 at Mobile World Congress. The show starts at 6pm CET (Noon ET, 9am PT).
The one piece of information the teaser gives us is that the camera is "reimagined." This is most likely a reference to the variable aperture camera that Samsung is already shipping on the W2018 flip phone. Just like a real camera, this has a set of (very small) aperture blades that open and close with the changing light levels. In ideal lighting, the W2018 uses an f/2.4 aperture, but it can switch to f/1.5 if it needs to pull in more light. If you haven't seen it in action, this gif of the W2018 camera is a must see.
