Galaxy S9 promo videos tease slow-mo camera, 3D emojis

14 FEBRUARY 2018
Samsung Mobile Korea just unleashed three teaser videos for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. They are short (15 seconds each), but contain less than subtle hints about the key features of the upcoming flagships.
The first video is all about speed. But pay attention to the end of the video – the second the “9” appears, time slows down to a crawl. That’s clearly a reference to a slow-motion camera.
The second video is shot in the dark. That is until the “9” appears and the image brightens up considerably. Samsung has been pushing low-light performance for several generations, but the S9 duo is supposed to have an f/1.5 lens with a variable aperture.
And finally, the third video. This demos the 3D emoji that the rumor mill was buzzing about yesterday. We get a distinctly “animoji” feel out of it.

Moto G6 family confirmed to have 18:9 screens, G6 Play's chipset leaks 13 FEBRUARY 2018 Last month a huge leak told us that the upcoming  Moto G6 ,  G6 Plus , and  G6 Play  would all sport 18:9 touchscreens, and this has been confirmed by their listings in the database of HTML5test. While the aforementioned leak mentioned 2,160x1,080 resolution only for the G6 and G6 Plus (and 1,440x720 for the G6 Play), if the data in HTML5test is accurate then it looks like all three will actually sport the higher-res display. The G6 Play will have the model number XT1922, and according to its recent Wi-Fi certification it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430, and launch running Android 8.0 Oreo. That's the same SoC employed by last year's  G5S , by the way. Alongside the G6 Play the Wi-Fi Alliance has also certified a couple of other unannounced Motos, the XT1924 and XT1944, both of these coming with the Snapdragon 425. Given the lower-end chipset, these ...
