Everything That Is Known For Samsung Galaxy S9

My favourite 2017 flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S8, gained huge attention and hit the roof in terms of sales. The device was purely incredible, having no bad sides whatsoever, so what are we about to expect from the soon-to-be-released model of the Galaxy S sequel – the Galaxy S9? Should we start saving form now or it wouldn’t be anything different from the S8, or even a downgrade?

The main point of this article is to meet you with all rumoured details about the upcoming smartphone. Samsung is known for never letting fans down, so I hardly believe that they won’t do is this time either. All the news about the phone look promising, but as soon as it is released – just then we’ll get the whole truth. For now, it’s just speculation and rumours.

What will the “specs” be?

Only in the United States Of America, the Samsung Galaxy S9 could use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor, which will help it take better pictures and video, enable new artificial intelligence improvements, and result in overall better and more efficient performance. The Snapdragon could help improve the battery life on Samsung’s Galaxy S9 without physically larger batteries, too.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 that will be sold in other parts of the world might use Samsung’s own Exynos processor instead of the Snapdragon, which news is reported by CNBC. If you ask me, this idea sounds ridiculous and if it’s a smartphone, then it should be the same for all regions and parts of the world.

Camera & Features

The teaser for the smartphone looks amazing and the pivot point about it seems to be the camera itself. Its abilities will be backed up by the Snapdragon 845 processor, as the camera will face some powerful and great improvements to the S8 model. The 12-megapixel rear-facing camera will be featuring a f/1.5 lens,and lens with that wide would most certainly help with low-light photography.

Samsung’s Galaxy S9 is rumoured to have some bonus features that might excite some Android fans out there. Samsung is reportedly working on big improvements to its eye-scanning tech, for example, making it more secure and function better than it does on previous Galaxy models. There’s also a chance the Galaxy S9 could have some kind of face-scanning unlocking feature similar to Apple’s Face ID system.

There have been rumours that the Samsung Galaxy S9 would include a fingerprint scanner built directly into the touchscreen, but recent reports say that might not be the case after all. Another cool and innovative feature will be the presence of FM radio option, which will allow users to connect to local radio broadcasts, which is considered as “retro” feature, but to be honest – there are still people who rely on radios and don’t like the idea of watching TV’s, so I support the feature with both hands!

Date of release and price tag

Both Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will be unveiled on February 25-th during the MWC (Mobile World Congress), which will be held at Barcelona, Spain. A typical tendency for Samsung is to start shipping the “announced” smartphone a few weeks after the actual unveiling, so you’ll most probably start seeing the S9 model in stores at the middle of March. This is a marketing strategy of Samsung, which aims at the phone gaining enough attention and cause some anticipation at fans, so this sounds as a pretty calculated move for me! The price is yet unclear, but my personal guess is that it would be at the same price range as Apple’s flagship smartphones.
