That's how it's done.

Samsung brought the super slow-mo mode with its flagship Galaxy S9 and S9+ which is capable of capturing videos at a whopping 960 frames per second at 720p resolution. The biggest question everyone had was, how did Samsung manage to ramp up the numbers from 240fps on the S8 / S8+ to 960fps? The credit actually goes to the new triple-stacked camera module that Samsung used this time around.

The latest camera module comprises of a CMOS sensor with a readout circuit underneath that runs four times faster the previous generation circuit. On top of that, there's a dedicated DRAM chip that allows the users what company calls "buttery-smooth, Super Slow-mo videos." But the only thing is the low resolution, which might be increased with next year's flagship.

 

It should be noted that the same technology is also responsible for the enhanced low-light photography on the latest flagships. And we are certain that the technology will be borrowed by the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 as well.

Samsung also shared few diagrams that illustrate about the new technology.

The camera app also allows users to save the super slow-mo clip to be saved as a GIF, customized with a tune or even set as a wallpaper. The Galaxy S9+ also introduced a new feature dubbed Intelligent Scan that combines the Iris Scanner and the Face Unlock features seen on the Galaxy S8/S8+. But the company still doesn't use an external hardware for the feature.
