It was our time for us to check out the ninth edition to the flagship of Samusung Mobile from their official Philippine launch happened last weekend.
There are the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9+ in all of their sides. Coincidentally we got the midnight black variant of both of these devices.

The observations from the foreign media and your truly were true that there are almost no differences in terms of physical looks of Samsung Galaxy S9 duo compared to the previous generation as well as to what is their newest Samsung Experience UI based on Android 8.0 Oreo. Sadly, the fingerprint smudges can still be attained to both phablets so you might have a second look to other color options.
I tried to check out their all new surround speaker with Dolby Atmos but unfortunately, there were no available sample videos to check it to test the brand's claim. What I can share for now is the complete pro mode in the camera (in both devices) that we first seen on the Galaxy Note 8. The handset was clever enough to change it's aperture depending on the situation. On our camera sample with low light outside in the grand ballroom of Grand Hyatt Manila (the launch venue), it shifted to f/1.5 while as expected, great selfie that I got om it's 8 MP f/1.7 secondary camera.
