That is a lot of new features for the Galaxy S9 although, it is not a major upgrade form the Galaxy S8. I also wish they included an OIS on the front camera. it is too bad that the S9 did not get a boost in battery. Not only that, they did not add a white color option. It is an upgrade from the S7, but it seems like Samsung was not motivated on the S9.
