Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus were launched in March by the Samsung company for users around the world, the first having a standard camera, while the second has a dual camera. The number of image sensors between the two models of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is not the only difference that the Koreans have thought of, because there are also differences in terms of the image sensors used in them.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus have different image sensors for each of the models, meaning that each of the two types of phones can have different sensors from one unit to another. The Samsung Galaxy S9 has integrated Sony IMX345 and Samsung S5K2L3 ISOCELL Fast sensors, they have different designs, so there is a chance that the performance in recording photos will be different, but it remains to be seen if we will see comparisons.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 has the same functionality offered in both types of sensors, that is, both have integrated RAM memory to quickly take pictures, including videos with 960 frames per second. The Sony sensor is a different version than the IMX400 used in the Xperia XZ2, launched last year, so it is possible that the performance it offers for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will be different, maybe even lower.
Samsung Galaxy S9 – different cameras used between units
The Samsung Galaxy S9 with different image sensors for the models is a confirmation that Samsung cannot produce enough phone components on its own, or the costs are too high. In general, a company avoids buying components from competitors for its own products, except for situations where it cannot cope with production, or has better prices than its own, these being the only explanations for the Samsung Galaxy S9.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 does not have the best camera for phones, the Huawei P20 Pro stealing this title very shortly after it was launched on the market by the Huawei company. Despite this, Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus have very good cameras, especially when it comes to taking pictures in low light conditions, so users can enjoy a very good experience with them.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus also have differences regarding the chips used for the processor, here things are worse because the autonomy of the Exynos chip models is lower. Having said that, the phones in the Samsung Galaxy S9 series have some notable differences between the models, which can be checked with applications such as AIDA64.
