The devices also come with AR Emoji, a feature that creates a 3D avatar of the user that can mimic their facial expressions.

Additionally, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus come with an improved Bixby assistant, which includes new capabilities such as live translation and enhanced image recognition.
In terms of design, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus retain the sleek and modern look of their predecessors, with a few refinements. The fingerprint sensor has been repositioned below the camera module for easier access, and the devices are available in several new color options, including Lilac Purple and Coral Blue.
Overall, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus represent a significant upgrade over the previous generation, with improvements in camera technology, audio quality, and overall performance.
