The team over at SamMobile has taken the specifications listed on the leaked box and carried on investigating to find out how Samsung’s ‘secret’ super slow-mo will work once the handset reaches consumers in early March.
The first mode is the ‘automatic’ mode. Here the user would set up the S9 handset to take a super slow-mo video clip, but the recording would not start until the AI in the camera software picks up some suitable movement that would be of benefit if it was slowed down. Samsung’s selfie mode in the rear camera, which takes the snap when a face is centred, offers a similar methodology.
The second mode is triggered as per normal, with the user starting the video recording at the touch of the super slow-mo mode button.
The question around this feature is how much the SnapDragon 845 will limit Samsung’s ability to push super slow-mo as a feature.
The Galaxy S9 family will come in two System on Chip flavours, the aforementioned SnapDragon 845 from Qualcomm and Samsung’s own Exynos system. The latter is expected to be better suited to capturing and processing visual information, but with Samsung expected to create a uniform message around the world, the S9 and S9 Plus may well be limited to Qualcomm’s performance limits.
