You can find it in 64, 256 or 512 GB capacity, it is advisable that if you plan to record a lot of video with it, go for the 256GB minimum.

Samsung Galaxy S9+phones to make mobile photography

The first phone with variable aperture f / 1.5 was the slogan that Samsung sold us when it introduced the S9 but it had some nuances. The camera of this phone has double aperture f / 1.5 and f / 2.4 that alternates depending on the situation but it is not something that we can choose.

When the phone detects that there is little light, it will use the aperture f / 1.5. And when the scene is better lit the 2.4 emphasizing the sharpness.

The s9 + has an angular lens and another zoom, both 12 megapixels and a Dual Pixel sensor with optical image stabilizer. Both are capable of recording in slow motion at 960 fps (only 0.2 seconds). And detect the movement of the subject keeping it focused while recording.

This set consists of a 20-megapixel monochrome sensor with f / 1.6 aperture, a 40-megapixel sensor with aperture f / 1.8 and a 3x zoom lens with an 8-megapixel f / 2.4 sensor. Many consider it the best camera on the market of all the phones that have left on these dates.

Regarding the video, the phone records in 4K with good quality, although it does not stand out for this function.

If by day the photos are fantastic, where stands out most Huawei P20 Pro is in night mode. Being the best choice of the list for this type of photos. The phone uses artificial intelligence to make 4 pictures with different ISO sensitivities and offer the best quality. The AI recognizes the scene to adapt the parameters of the camera, recognizing the subject or the objects that are in the frame.

It is a large phone, with a 6.1-inch OLED screen (2,240 x 1080 Full HD +, ratio 18: 9). But with some of the most beautiful designs on the market from my point of view.

It is in 3 colors Midnight Blue with a mirror effect, black color and a very striking purple and blue gradient. This is one of the best phones to make mobile photography of 2019 so far.

It has facial recognition and a fingerprint reader at the bottom of the screen. A detail that I loved is its infrared port, something that is not usually found today in almost any smartphone. By cons, Huawei has not placed 3.5mm headphone port, something that many may miss.

The photographs capture a lot of detail and HDR mode works very well, of the best I’ve seen to date, the result is not as artificial as in other terminals.

The portrait mode is generally good in most situations but it is true that sometimes it does not profile properly. And appear out of focus areas like hair. Also as a point against, the One Plus does not allow to regulate the intensity of the blur. It is one of the best phones to make mobile photography of 2019 so far.

The front camera is 16 megapixels, focal aperture f / 2.0, without portrait mode. With good angular, in general, it is a great camera for selfies.

A beautiful design, built in metal and glass with large dimensions but weighing 185 grams. The fingerprint reader under the screen is a success for those who do not get used to the reader in the back or refuse to do without it. Undoubtedly the biggest change next to the battery versus the One Plus 6.
