Our Dual Aperture lens intelligently adapts to the light it's looking at and automatically adjusts between f-stops to accommodate. F1.5 brings in more light during low light shoots, while F2.4 helps bright scenes come out sharp.
*The rear wide-angle lens supports F1.5 and F2.4 modes.
HDR even in low light
Clear-cut color for late night shoots.
Take sharp, colorful photos from 2PM to 2AM. The Note9's HDR capabilities reduce noise, keep details clear, and make colors vivid without washing out light sources—day OR night.
Note9's dual 12MP cameras bring power, focus, and a 2x optical zoom to your photo game. The telephoto and wide-angle lenses shoot the whole scene (even when you're zoomed in). Live Focus creates unique portraits, and dual OIS stabilizes even the shakiest of shots. You'll be able to capture what no one else can.
Live Focus for low light
Portraits that shine all night.
Live Focus intelligently recognizes the subject of your photo and puts the spotlight on friends and family by blurring out the background. And when low light is detected, the Note9 camera takes multiple shots when you hit the shutter and blends them together for pin-sharp productions.
