Samsung Galaxy S9 is coming

by Amar K. Hi, there

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus are coming last year Samsung only unveiled the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus on March 29 and the pre-orders began almost immediately on March 30, but shipping and release were not until April 21. Samsung Galaxy S9 is going to launch in February 2018, and a new leak has seemingly revealed the exact launch date as well as pre-order and shipping dates.

Samsung's next flagship series, which will be the successor to the company's Galaxy S8 line, is widely expected to feature two models - the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus.

We have no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have a big, curved Super AMOLED screen. We don’t know exactly what size yet, but it’s likely to stay around the same size as the Samsung Galaxy S8 Pus 6.2-inch.

It may well stick with the same 1,440 x 2,960 resolution too, and will probably have the same 18.5:9 aspect ratio, given Samsung needs time for that new screen shape to bed into the apps market. We've also heard that exact ratio rumored.

And although we haven't seen any shots of the screen on the S9 Plus yet, we have seen renders (below) apparently showing the standard Galaxy S9, which will likely have a similar but smaller display and according to the leaks there may be an in screen fingerprint scanner but we don’t know yet most probably there will be a fingerprint scanner on the back below the camera not at the side this will be really helpful.

Another possible feature is a glass coating which resists fingerprints, reduces reflections and causes water to bounce off your screen. This hasn’t been specifically linked to the S9 Plus, but Samsung has licensed the tech and plans to use it on smartphones.

The closest look we've had at the Galaxy S9 Plus is perhaps a render showing it alongside the standard Galaxy S9.You can only see the front, but it looks a lot like the Galaxy S8 Plus, complete with the same button layout, but perhaps with slightly smaller bezels.

Elsewhere, one source has stated the bezels on the standard Galaxy S9 will be even smaller than on S8 which would make sense, and which would likely also be true of the S9 Plus, that would mean Samsung could either shrink the body while keeping the screen the same size or make the display bigger without increasing the size of the phone.

The phone might also come in a new color, as Samsung is apparently considering a purple color.

Samsung may be working on a camera that can shoot at 1,000fps according to some industry sources, allowing for very high-quality slow-motion footage - the brand announced a sensor capable of this last year, so the Galaxy S9 seems like the right time to unveil it.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have a dual lens rear camera, which is no surprise since the Galaxy Note 8 comes with, but that the standard Galaxy S9 might have just a single-lens camera.
