The Samsung Galaxy S9 promises to be one of the most outstanding Android smartphones of 2018. Following in the footsteps of its predecessors, the Galaxy S8, S7, etc., Samsung will strive to innovate in its flagship model. The image above shows what Forbes predicts will be the final design of the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Something that is striking when looking at the back is that the fingerprint sensor is under the camera. This image above does not show Dual Camera, but only one, but rumors point to 2 cameras. After the "read more" we see another concept of the design of the Galaxy S9, which may be more in line with this point.
In any case, although there are still a few weeks to go before we can officially meet it, rumors suggest that it will be presented at MWC 2018. Until now, some technical characteristics have been leaked, which can surely give an idea of what we will finally find.
Samsung Galaxy S9, features, price and release date
Although not yet official, the technical specifications of the Galaxy S9 could be:
Technical characteristics of the Samsung Galaxy S9:
- Display: 5,2 inch SuperAMOLED
- Processor: Exynos 9810
- RAM: 6GB
- Internal Memory: 512GB, 256 and 128GB versions
- Main camera: Dual 12 megapixel sensor
- selfie camera: 5mp sensor
- Battery: 3100 mAh
- Software: Android 8 Oreo
- Connectivity: NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, LTE Cat 5, Wi-Fi, MST, USB 3.0
Although they are not the official ones, we will update this list, once they are confirmed or not by Samsung. The following image corresponds to a design concept, in which we find the double rear camera and the fingerprint sensor, below the flash. That would improve the design, making unlocking the S9 less of a finger on the camera.
The headphone jack will still exist
The port in which we can connect the headphones is missing from a large number of star smartphones, from well-known brands. However, it seems that this option is not currently part of Samsung's plans. According to leaks, it will still be on the Samsung Galaxy S9.
And it is that these days we have been able to see some filtered photos of the new stellar smartphone of the South Korean brand. In it you can clearly see how the port in which we connect our headphones appears. With this, the rumors that Samsung could have chosen to eliminate the jack are put to rest.
In this way, it would force its buyers to acquire a special adapter, in order to use this type of device normally. A piece of news that many users will surely appreciate, with little intention of buying extra devices.
Eliminating the headphone jack, forcing you to buy an adapter, was until very recently an almost exclusive thing for Apple and its iPhone. But in recent years, many Android mobile brands have also opted for the same option.
Thus, Motorola and Huawei had also chosen to end it in their flagship smartphones. That if, they keep it in the mobiles of medium-low range. But for now it seems that Samsung has decided not to follow this trend, and allow its users to use the headphones they want.
Same size as the Galaxy S8
The leaked information reveals that the size of the Samsung Galaxy S9 will not change compared to the company's previous model. Therefore, its appearance is expected to be very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S8.
The main difference will lie in the internal electronic components, which will surely bring greater power and more advanced performance. In fact, rumors suggest it will be the world's first smartphone to offer 512 GB of storage capacity.
Change of location of the fingerprint reader
The fingerprint reader will continue to be an element present in the Samsung Galaxy S9, as expected. And it will also continue to be located on the back of the phone. The main change will be that it will no longer be, like on the S8, located next to the rear camera.
In the new model it will be found just below it, as is often the case in smartphones from other brands such as Huawei. This is intended to make it a little more focused and easier to use to unlock the mobile more easily. We do not see this point very clearly, since many times, the camera will be touched with the finger. And it is already known that this will bring dirt to the glass, with which the photographs can be damaged.
What's new in the camera
As with the Note 8 , this new smartphone will also feature a dual rear camera. The main difference is its vertical orientation, although this shouldn't significantly impact the final photo quality.
More striking will be the fact that you can capture video at 1000 fps, a highly applauded feature among those who use mobile video the most.
Samsung S9 release date
Samsung Galaxy S9 price
It is important to note that Samsung has not yet made any official data about the Samsung Galaxy S9. So everything published, at the moment are speculations. But the rumors that have gained the most strength suggest that the price could be between 700 euros for the S9 and 800 for the S9 Plus.
A high price, but in line with what we have been finding, in the brand's star mobiles in recent years.
