Samsung Galaxy S9 comes with a lot of interesting news this year, but among them, an extremely important one that the Samsung company offers for users around the world was overlooked. We are talking about a secret function of the Samsung Galaxy S9 that was recently revealed, it has to do with a component that has been in phones for years, but which is only now being used for a completely new purpose, fortunately.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has a sensor in the case that allows measuring the heart rate, Samsung has been offering it since about 2 years ago, but only in 2018 did they find another very interesting utility. It comes thanks to a new application that was launched for the Samsung Galaxy S9 just before the phone reached the market, the Korean company collaborating with another to be able to offer a functionality of this kind for users.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is capable of measuring not only heart rate, but also blood pressure, and as you can see in the image below, it manages to provide very accurate readings, even though it is not a medical device. It's hard to say how the Korean company managed to collaborate with another to create such advanced software, but the Samsung Galaxy S9 seems to be able to measure blood pressure as accurately as a dedicated device.
Samsung Galaxy S9 - secret function revealed
The Samsung Galaxy S9 manages to fulfill a function that many smartphone manufacturers, and even smartwatches, have been trying to successfully implement for some time, but which they failed to do. Measuring blood pressure with a smartphone is something that anyone would like to be able to do, especially if the reading would be accurate, and the Samsung Galaxy S9 with the application My BP Lab can provide exactly what users want.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is not the only smartphone on which applications of this kind can be used, but until now none has come so close to a dedicated medical device that can measure blood pressure. To be completely honest, I'm quite pleasantly surprised by what the Samsung Galaxy S9 can achieve with its heart rate sensor and I hope that Apple implements functions like this in the iPhone as soon as possible.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 will be launched today by the Samsung company in many markets around the world, so we can expect to discover much more interesting information about it in the next period. Until then, it is more interesting to see if the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be successful in sales or not, this being the concern of many Korean competitors.
