Furthermore, they have been published press renders, almost complete specifications, and even sample photos taken with their cameraThis allows you to get a very accurate idea of ​​what the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will offer.
Different cameras for different models: this reveals the leaked photos of the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus
The most powerful rumor that has been talked about over the last few dates is the one referring to the different cameras which both models of Samsung's terminals of this generation will have. While the basic version Galaxy S9 would only have a simple camera, the Galaxy S9 Plus model It would enjoy a higher quality dual rear camera, following the path set by the Galaxy Note 8 and reinforcing its role as a more advanced model.
All these rumors have been seen confirmed thanks to the latest leak. In a new photograph we can see the final appearance of the back case of the pair of devices, as well as a comparison regarding the size of both. Although the basic model has only one lens and the Plus has two, both share the same layout. camera modulewhich is paired with a fingerprint reader positioned in a lower area, just below the lens. Next to it are the LED flash and the heart rate sensor.
This change to the rear casing extends to the fingerprint sensorThe fingerprint reader has been moved from the side of the camera (a much-criticized position on the Galaxy S8 and S8+) to a more convenient location for everyday use, just below the camera module. Leaks indicate that this change addresses the complaints of many users who found the previous position unnatural and frequently touched the lens instead of the reader.
Furthermore, leaks indicate that the Galaxy S9 More will incorporate a dual camera 12 + 12 megapixels with optical zoom and optical image stabilization (OIS) on both lenses, while the Galaxy S9 will retain a single 12-megapixel sensor.

- Photos in low lightThe image of the boy about to jump into the water appears to have been taken in challenging lighting conditions. The combination of variable aperture and optical image stabilization suggests that the Galaxy S9 will be able to achieve very sharp results in these scenarios, keeping the subject in focus.
- Portraits with blurred backgroundThe cat photo foreshadows a Portrait mode with bokeh effectIn the Plus model, this blurring effect would be achieved using the second lens, while in the standard model it would depend primarily on the software and the large aperture of the main sensor.

At the bottom of the chassis, various leaked photos and diagrams suggest that the USB Type C connector for loading and data, as well as the presence of 3,5 mm headphone jackA feature that is becoming increasingly rare in high-end devices and that many users consider essential.
