There are still a few months to go before it comes to the fore. But logically, Samsung is already working on the new flagship that will unveil in 2018. We refer, of course, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +.
Two devices that, according to the latest forecasts, could begin to be manufactured from next December. If this were true, and there is no reason to doubt it, the new Galaxy S9 could reach the market just ready for the presentation. Or even be ready a little earlier.
Some rumors point to the possibility that Samsung has advanced the production of the equipment, after having ruled out, according to The Korea Herald, the integration of the fingerprint reader in the screen.
Ice Universe, the one responsible for all these rumors, claims that Samsung has been working to finally integrate the fingerprint sensor on the back of the phone. Thus, it seems that the double camera system would be mounted vertically. And the biometric reader would be just below. But these are not the only data we have on the table.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +, leaked features
But, what other characteristics do we know of this pair of devices? According to what has been leaked, so far the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 + would be equipped with Infinity Display screens of 5.8 and 6.2 inches. You will enjoy a density of 570 and 529 dots per inch, respectively.
In addition, both panels would work with 4K AMOLED technology with 4,000 pixels of resolution. This would allow users to enjoy optimal quality when watching content or enjoying video games.
In recent weeks, furthermore, rumors have pointed to the possibility that Samsung could integrate the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processors into its new flagships. Something that already happened last year, with the Qualcomm Snadpragon 835 and that forced the other manufacturers to opt for different models, outside of their forecasts.
Either way, most likely European devices have an Exynos processor built in. Following the tradition of Samsung in the Old Continent. It is expected, on the other hand, that the device can combine its performance with 4 GB of RAM memory, instead of the 6 GB that has already been targeted for other devices.
Android 8.0 Oreo for the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +
Both the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Samsung Galaxy S9 + will arrive equipped with the latest version of Google's operating system as standard. We are talking about Android 8.0 Oreo, which will be spiced up with the Samsung Experience 9.0 and with all the most important applications and services from Samsung. We refer, as you may have guessed, to Samsung Pay, Samsung DeX, Samsung Cloud or the Bixby assistant, with a dedicated button.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +, possible prices and availability
There is no official data on the presentation date of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +. And logically, we do not have concise information about the launch on the market. However, rumors point to the possibility that both devices could arrive even a little earlier than expected.
If we look at the patterns of last year, we will see that the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 + were presented at the end of March 2017. And they went on sale from April. Be that as it may, at the moment we would be - at most - four or five months from its official deployment.
There is still nothing written about their prices. However, if Samsung decides to follow the pattern of the S8, the Samsung Galaxy S9 could be over 800 euros; while the Samsung Galaxy S9 + could exceed 900.
