Which may be the only reason you may want to upgrade from the galaxy s8 to galaxy s9.

GALAXY S9

The galaxy s9 features a 12mp rear camera sensor and all the usual camera tech Samsung features in the cameras smartphones in the S line. These old features isn't what makes the galaxy s9 camera unique obviously.

Infinix in collaboration with Dirac should set a limiter to prevent the speakers from having the tinny effect as a result of going beyond the volume thresh hold.
