Samsung has always shown a lot of expectation with its high-end devices, users eagerly await the renewal of the Galaxy S family every year, and of course, this year was not going to be less. Although the Korean firm has not made the arrival of these devices official, we know that we will soon meet them. And this is, above all, thanks to the leaks. These have gained a lot of strength, and each new device presented, we know its details before thanks to the leaks. Of course, the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + have had their leaks too, even months before their possible release date. Next, we tell you the five most interesting leaks of this device.
Fingerprint reader
To this day we know that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + will incorporate a fingerprint reader on the back, just like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 +. But during the first leaks, it began to be rumored that the Galaxy S9 could incorporate a fingerprint reader on the front, many media confirmed it, until the renders and leaked reports later on intuited that the fingerprint reader would be located again in the rear. Instead, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + would incorporate a faster iris scanner, and more advanced facial recognition.
Design, exposed back

Of course, it wouldn't be a 'top 5 leaks' without talking about its design leaks. We have chosen the leak on the back of both models, which has only appeared a few days ago. In the image we see the back of the Galaxy S9 with a single camera and a shiny, very shiny finish. In the right area the Galaxy S9 + with a dual camera and fingerprint reader at the bottom. Also with this spectacular glossy finish.

Special mention to these renders created by @OnLeaks. They were made based on rumors of the device, although they are not press images, you can perfectly appreciate the details, its screen with hardly any frames, its double camera, its sides, the glass finish etc.
Last special mention to the front bezels of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 +. A leak said that both models would incorporate even narrower bezels than the Galaxy S8. Ultimately, it seems that it will not. They will incorporate side frames very similar to those of the current model.
Camera, few details, but very interesting

The camera is one of the most important aspects of the Galaxy, we assume that Samsung is going to improve that of the Galaxy S9. A leak confirmed the dual camera for the Galaxy S9 +. SamMobile, specialized in leaks and news of Samsung products, confirmed that the camera of the Galaxy S9 Plus would incorporate the Live focus effect, which allows us to adjust the degree of blur. In addition, the firm would increase the quality of its optical zoom and expand the angle of view
Specifications filtration, very important
Without a doubt, one of the most important leaks is that of its technical specifications. We have already seen several confirmed features, but the one that attracts the most attention is the one that was leaked a little over a month ago. In the filtration we could see the most outstanding features, such as the Exynos 8190 processor with a 4 GB RAM. The truth is that it is strange to see 4 GB of RAM in a high-end device from 2018. It may be a shorter version, and finally we do see a version of 6 GB of RAM. So far, we have to settle for 4GB. If the system and processor optimization is good, there will be no problem
Doubtful filing date, but we are left with a
Finally, one of the most interesting rumors of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + is its presentation date. Because of the early leaks, it was believed that the Galaxy S9 would be presented at the end of 2017. Later, the rumors and leaks pointed to a very important "teaser" date, the CES in Las Vegas. The presentation date would be at the 2018 Mobile World Congress, which will take place one more year in Barcelona, at the end of February. Other not-so-powerful leaks point to a separate filing date. We are left with the possible presentation of the Mobile World Congress.
There is still more than a month left for this device to be officially presented (if the leaks do not fail). During that time, we will most likely see new rumors, renders, and device leaks more and more. Also, with increasing force. Without a doubt, we are waiting to know the price of both models, as well as the special functions that they will incorporate. For the moment, we settle for these five that are very interesting.
