Samsung Introduces Availability of the Galaxy S9 in Polaris Blue
Nov 22. 2018
Samsung has announced today the availability of the latest addition to the Galaxy S9’s colour offerings in Singapore – the Galaxy S9 (64GB) in Polaris Blue. Designed to reimagine the way people communicate, share and experience the world, the Galaxy S9 is also available in Midnight Black, Coral Blue and Lilac Purple.
The new Polaris Blue edition features a soft blue gradient hue coated in restrained gloss, giving the device a sleek and sophisticated feel. With its contemporary finish, the new colour option is perfect for users looking to express their style and personality through their mobile devices.
Key Product Highlights:
- Super Slow-mo: Make everyday moments epic with dynamic, slow-motion video that captures 960 frames per second1. The Galaxy S9 also offer automatic Motion Detection, an intelligent feature that detects movement in the frame and automatically begins to record – all users have to do is set up the shot.
- Low Light Camera: Good lighting is the secret to any great photo. Similar to the way the iris of a human eye expands and contracts, Samsung’s Dual Aperture2 (f1.5 / f2.4) automatically lets in more light when it’s dark and less light when it’s too bright, taking photos that are crisp and clear.
- AR Emoji: The AR Emoji is able to map out more than 100 facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions, like winks and nods, for true personalisation. Users will have hours of entertainment by creating an emoji that looks, sounds and acts like them.
