Hi,

I found my S9 + front camera resolution to be reduced from 8MP to 5.2MP. And also the pictures taken with the front camera are zoomed after they are clicked. Is this a bug in the update ?

Hi. I contacted sam live chat to confirm what i thought it was but wasnt sure. Heres what they told me.

Was on sam live chat to confirm what i thought but wanted to be sure. This is what they told me.

Front camera will normally change it's MP usage since wide angle option will always use the maximum MP available which is the 8MP. And as for the normal portrait one. It will normally use the 5.2pm option to maximise the zoom feature.

Same as my s9 plus. The reason this is Front camera will normally change it's MP usage since wide angle option will always use the maximum MP available which is the 8MP. And as for the normal portrait one. It will normally use the 5.2pm option to maximise the zoom feature. But in selfie its 8mp.

@Ke13 - Please create new thread for new questions to easily track. But here is the solution. Go to
Settings -> general management-> language and input -> on screen keyboard-> samsun keyboard -> language and types. Here you can add/remove languages appearing on the keypad.

Quick tip: long press space bar and swipe left or right ..to change the input language.
