The Galaxy S9's Super Slow Motion is fun to toy with (video)

Despite all the arguments that Sony was first with the pimped up slow-mo idea in the Xperia XZ Premium, introducing a 1000fps sensor that packaged its own memory, and was able to store the vast amount of info needed to display Super Slow Motion snippets, it's still fun to play with this thing on Samsung's newest Galaxy S9 and S9+.

Granted, the Xperia XZ2 and Compact do 960fps@1080p now, while the Galaxies do it at 720p, but the effect is still marvelous, and , let's face it, more S9 and S9+ phones will land in the hands of consumers than the newest Xperias, and the slow-mo that counts will be the one you have in your hands for those special occassions.

That is why we took some frivolous footage to demo for you what the Super Slow Motion on the S9 can do in real-life scenarios, and not in the staged booths that Samsung had provided at the pre-briefings. Check it out, and tell us what you think, would you be using this option on a regular basis with your Galaxy S9 or S9+?
