Общая средняя оценка камеры смартфона составила 99 баллов. За качество фото "Девятка" получила рекордные 104 балла, а за качество видеоро смартфону присвоили 91 балл.
Второе место в рейтинге DxOMark занимает Google Pixel 2 с результатом 98 баллов (99 и 96 баллов за фото и видео соответственно). На третьем - iPhone X с 97 баллами (101 и 89 баллов за фото и видео соответственно).
В подробном отчёте эксперты DxOMark отмечают, что у камеры Samsung Galaxy S9+ нет очевидных слабых мест, она отлично справляется с поставленной задачей в большинстве сценариев и при разной освещённости. Что касается качества размытия фона при портретных съёмках, то оно лучше, чем у конкурентов.
Отдельной похвалы заслужил качественный зум. Что касается видеороликов, то Google Pixel 2 снимает лишь немногим лучше, а в плане мобильной фотографии Samsung Galaxy S9+ задал новый стандарт качества.
Одновременно результаты своих тестов опубликовала ещё одна авторитетная испытательная лаборатория - DisplayMate, которая, в свою очередь, оценивала качество экранов новых мобильных флагманов южнокорейского техногиганта. Результат тот же: Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ имеют лучшие в отрасли дисплеи, обойдя прошлогоднего лидера iPhone X, OLED-эраны для которых поставляет всё тот же Samsung.
В объёмном отчёте подробно указаны все особенности тестирования дисплеев, а также показанные результаты.
Помом того, что знаменитые Infinity Display имеют изящную изогнутую по краям форму, они также показывают выдающиеся результаты по уровню яркости, контраста и чёткости, не говоря уже о качестве цветопередачи.
Изображение, формируемое на дисплеях Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+ соответствует параметрам лучших телевизоров топ-класса, в том числе за счёт применения технологии расширенного динамического диапазона HDR. Не удивительно, что компактные дисплеи Galaxy S9/S+ получили сертификаты UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, что соответствует уровню премиальных UHD-телевизоров стандарта 4K.
Напомним, что в розничную продажу новейшие флагманы Samsung поступят 16 марта.
Samsung Galaxy S9+ beats Pixel 2, iPhone X in DxOMark test, scoring highest ever 104 in photo test
Samsung Galaxy S9+ has been ranked as the number one smartphone camera by DxOMark. The camera managed to beat industry favourites like the iPhone X and the Pixel 2. According to the camera tests done by DxOMark, the Samsung flagship received an industry best of 104 in photo tests. However, in terms of video performance, the Galaxy S9+ camera could only manage a score of 91.
DxOMark scores smartphone on the basis of various tests in controlled environments. The tests are conducted on the device's camera ability in brightly lit conditions, dark lighting and pictures using the device's flash.
Their official blog states that "DxOMark's Mobile scores and rankings are based on testing every camera using an identical, extensive process that includes shooting nearly 1,500 images and dozens of clips totaling more than two hours of video. The tests take place in both lab and real-world situations, using a wide variety of subjects."
Samsung's Galaxy S9+ is the bigger of the two flagship devices launched by the South Korean company one day before the MWC began in Barcelona. The smaller Galaxy S9 uses the same primary camera as the S9+ but misses out on the secondary lens that helps the device get bokeh effect that requires a telephoto lens.
The Galaxy S9+ primary camera comes with a 12Megapixel primary lens with a variable aperture of f/1.5 or f/2.4. The option of switching to the extra wide aperture of f/1.5 lets the smartphone capture crisp images even in extremely dimly-lit conditions.
The secondary camera module comes with a 2x telephoto lens along with a f/2.4 aperture. Both lenses get optical image stabilization on the Galaxy S9+. The camera also gets Dual-pixel PDAF on the main camera module.
The camera on the new Galaxy flagships can capture 4K videos at 60fps. An interesting feature that Samsung demonstrated at the launch event was the slo-mo capture on the Galaxy S9+. The device can capture 960fps at 720p resolution.
The S9+ is closely followed by Google Pixel 2 with an overall score of 98, iPhone X is at a close third with an overall score of 97.
Raising the Bar for Smartphone Displays, Galaxy S9 Earns DisplayMate’s Highest-Ever A+ Grade
The results of DisplayMate Technologies’ comprehensive evaluation of the Galaxy S9’s Infinity Display are in. The world’s leading evaluator of screens has concluded that Samsung’s latest flagship is equipped with “the best performing smartphone display that we have ever tested,” and has awarded the device its highest-ever “Excellent A+” grade.
Although the Galaxy S9’s 3K Quad HD+ OLED Infinity Display features the same size (5.8 inches) and resolution (2960 x 1440) as last year’s Galaxy S8, the new device matches or sets many smartphone display performance records, and outpaces its predecessor in several measures including color accuracy, brightness, outdoor visibility and reflectivity.
Each of the Infinity Display’s screen modes demonstrates record-setting absolute color accuracy, which means that depicted colors are visually indistinguishable from perfect. In Cinema Mode, the Galaxy S9 has been rated to 0.7 JNCD (Just Noticeable Color Difference), a measurement that refers to the bare minimum color difference that the human eye can perceive. The display also features a wide native color gamut – 113 percent of DCI-P3 and 141 percent of sRGB/Rec. 709*; the largest that DisplayMate has ever measured in a smartphone or tablet.
The Galaxy S9 offers users the best in terms of image quality and brightness, and features an enhanced High Brightness Mode that allows it to produce vibrant visuals when users need them, such as when they’re under direct sunlight or in other environments with lots of ambient light. The display’s peak brightness of 1,130 nits is approximately 10.7 percent brighter than that of the Galaxy S8.
The Galaxy S9 also features a record-setting reflectance score – another measure that’s crucial when it comes to evaluating screen readability, picture quality and color accuracy in bright settings. DisplayMate’s evaluation has found that the display’s screen reflectance level is just 4.4 percent, which is the lowest that the firm has ever measured in a smartphone.
The device is additionally certified by the UHD Alliance for Mobile HDR Premium, which means that the Galaxy S9 is capable of playing the same dynamic 4K HDR (High Dynamic Range) content as 4K UHD premium TVs.
The Galaxy S9 will be available in stores beginning on March 16.
*The Galaxy S9 features four screen modes calibrated for different content, applications and user preferences. These measurements reflect the devices’ default screen mode, ‘Adaptive Display’.
