Four years after the launch of the devices Galaxy S9 and S9+, Samsung decided to surprise the cycle of its updates. Software on these devices will no longer be supported, which causes will not receive security patches.

This is something that mobile manufacturers usually do: when they see that one of their products has completed its life cycle or is in the process of doing so, they end their updates.

At the moment, the South Korean giant has talked nothing about it, but it is the niche medium droidlife who has already published The Samsung Galaxy S9 is no longer listed on its support website.

According to the company’s official list, the oldest model that constantly receives updates is its successor, Galaxy S10.

Hi Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 +

The Galaxy S9 was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona. There are two models, one with a 5.8-inch screen; and the S9 +, 6.2 inches. Both have Super AMOLED screens, QHD resolution (1440 x 2960 pixels).

As happened between the S6 and S7, the Galaxy S9 used the same design lines as the S8, which improved the frames, which were further reduced so that almost the entire front was a screen for the first time in the family of cells. this phone.

The S9’s camera is 12 megapixels and has a variable aperture: you can switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4 aperture. It allows you to change the light input, a key feature for beautiful low-light shots.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S9 +’s cameras, which added a second 12-megapixel camera, can also record in super slow mode: a dynamic slow-motion video that captures 960 frames per second.

On both phones, the front camera, for selfies, is 8 megapixels. The fingerprint sensor is still on the back of the cell phone but from the side the camera lens goes down.

The Galaxy is equipped with processors with artificial intelligence, a feature that was already included in previous models but is now starting to become central to these devices. The new Galaxy has Exynos 9810 processors (came in Argentina) or the Snapdragon 845.

The two models are unique in having artificial intelligence incorporated. As a result, they “learned” what the user was doing, and thus optimized performance, from their daily use. This allows you to enhance even photographs.
