If there is a range that boasts year after year of having the highest expectation that is Samsung's Galaxy S. Although all eyes are currently on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the company's next phablet, the first leaks about the Galaxy S9 are beginning to appear. This will be the new Asian flagship for 2018. The device would follow the line set in the current Samsung Galaxy S8, with a design without a home button and frames increasingly invisible to the human eye.
Logically there are still a few months to know the official characteristics of this model. However, we already have some juicy data to make us a composition of ideas and establish a more or less defined profile of what could be expected. Pay attention. We tell you everything we know so far about the Samsung Galaxy S9.

Design and display
The latest rumors indicate that the standard Samsung Galaxy S9 would arrive with the same screen size as its predecessor. That is, with a 5.8-inch panel. What is not known with such certainty is whether it would keep the resolution of 1,440 x 2,960 pixels and Super AMOLED technology. It would be interesting for the South Korean to work more on this section and surprise with a higher density panel. Likewise, it is very likely that the Asian firm will repeat and continue to use Infinity Display technology. You already know that thanks to it we can enjoy a larger screen in a reduced size. This makes it very comfortable to handle with one hand or carry around.
There is still not much data on the design. Everything indicates that the South Korean would continue to maintain the same that we have seen in the current Galaxy S8. There would be no physical home button presence and we may find the fingerprint reader under the screen. This year Samsung has moved it to the rear, although rumors hold that for the Galaxy S9 they would find a way to locate it under the panel. In any case, in the last hours Gizmochina has echoed a rumor related to this section. This medium claims that the device could land on the market with a modular design.What would this mean? That we could connect extra accessories of all kinds (battery, zoom…) directly to the terminal. We have already seen this type of design in the LG G5 or the MotoMod of Motorola phones.
Processor
In the last few hours a new rumor has also reached us that provides new data about the possible processor that the Samsung Galaxy S9 would mount. Although at first there was talk of an Exynos 9810, now it is said that this model would have Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845. This SoC would be manufactured in the 7nm process, it would have eight cores and an Adreno 630 GPU. Its mass production is scheduled for the beginning of next year. What remains to be seen is whether again Samsung would manufacture some equipment with Exynos (for Asia and Europe) and others with Snapdragon (for the United States). Will Europe then do without the version with the new Qualcomm chip?
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 will be the first phone to have a double sensor on its back. From there it is possible that we begin to see different models with this configuration. One of them could be the Samsung Galaxy S9. It is already beginning to leak that the double camera would also be a reality in the next Samsung flagship. It is likely to equal that of the Note 8 Have a great angle sensor 13 megapixel and 12 megapixel telephoto. Both would have a number of advantages. They would capture images in the conditions where the light is poor. In addition, they would be equipped with optical image stabilization and 3x optical zoom.
Android 8
We hope that the Samsung Galaxy S9 comes equipped with Android 8 (Oreo), the new version of Google's mobile platform. This new system manages notifications better, has floating windows and offers better battery management and security. As is logical, it provides greater stability and speed, all in an intuitive, minimalist appearance and increasingly easier for the user to handle.
Battery and connections
The new devices require more and more battery to last for more hours. Samsung would be working on improving this section and it is possible that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will arrive with a slightly larger battery than the Galaxy S8. This model has a 3,000 mAh. The Plus version goes up to 3,500 mAh. It would be a joy if Samsung will come to incorporate a 4,000 mAh, again with fast charging and wireless charging.
When it comes to connections, the Galaxy S9 would once again boast a wide range of options: LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth (hopefully version 5.0), USB Type-C GPS or NFC.
Availability
This year Samsung has announced the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It is not known if he will repeat the experience during the next year, or will keep the unknown until later to make them known at a private event. However, it is expected that both the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 Plus will be the absolute protagonists of 2018. The two mobiles will surely continue to mark a before and after in the high-end telephony sector.
