According to the company, one of the advanced features in the phones is that of the built-in live automatic translator in the camera app, which covers the translation of over 50 languages. Among the Indian languages are Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Urdu, Tamil, Telegu, and Punjabi.

Both the handsets are running Android 8 Oreo and even provide the options for users to create emojis with their faces during chats. The camera setup for both phones consists of 8 MP front and 12 MP rear.

In order to chiefly compete with the likes of iPhone X and Google Pixel 2, dual aperture and slow-motion video options are equipped in both Galaxy S9 and S9+. Other highlights in specs are an infinity display, rear fingerprint scanner, wireless charging technology, dual-stereo speakers and Samsung’s own Dolby Atmos surround sound abilities.

Samsung Mobile via its Twitter account announced both the phones with a 30-second video that shows off the camera capabilities. The description says: “We’ve reimagined the camera” like the brand previously advertised.

Pre-orders are available starting today, as said in the video. Although, the price hasn’t been revealed so far. The S9 will be available for sale starting March 16 in most of the countries. Younghee Lee, Head of Marketing for the Mobile Business, Samsung stated that the huge scale of the brand and their ‘agility to listen and learn’ ensure attracting the markets of India and China.
