Rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S9

Rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S9: new processor, new colors and more

The Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy Note 8 are struggling with the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X. But that does not stop people from thinking about the next Samsung phone.

It would be the Galaxy S9.

Expect the bar to rise again when Samsung launches its flagship product, probably in the first half of 2018, as it will add seemingly missing features to the already best Android phone. What should you expect? Here's what you need to know about what's planned for the Galaxy S9.

Update December 4:

Latest rumors about Galaxy S9 If you do not want a standard Galaxy S9 black, blue or gold, you can love the purple model that is prevalent. Samsung plans to offer a new accessory with the Galaxy S9 series called DeX Pad. Samsung plans to offer the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + with Android 8.0.0 Oreo.

Release date:

could be January If history has taught us everything, Samsung announces a smartphone on its Galaxy S every spring between February and April. But the S9 could be launched in January. Ice Universe, a Samsung series that reviews the company's plans several times, says the company is ahead of schedule and plans to begin mass production in December. This was corroborated by a September report in the BGR, which suggests that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S9 earlier than the Galaxy S8 and launch it on the market. If this moment is not achieved, Samsung could remove the veil on the Galaxy S9 in or around the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The 2018 version of this event begins on February 26th. What features should we expect from the Galaxy S9? These are the features most likely to appear on Samsung's flagship next year.

• Powerful Snapdragon 845 processor:

Find Samsung with a new-generation processor that's more efficient and performs better than the stunning 835 on the S9. A report from SamMobile confirms that the Galaxy S9 will be the first Android phone with a Snapdragon 845 chip inside. This was followed by a BGR report stating that the processor would initially be exclusive to Samsung, giving it an early advantage over other Android-based devices. While the processor might be powerful, there are also discussions that Samsung could save a bit on the RAM side and only provide 4GB of built-in memory. It would be nice to learn a bit more about the company, and that could change, but with storage prices currently very high, Samsung could try to maintain its margins by offering only 4GB. Some of these links may be present if a Geekbench benchmark test is an indication. This page recently published the results of a Geekbench 4 test on a device that is believed to be the Galaxy S9. He noted that the smartphone is significantly less powerful and more powerful than the Apple iPhone X. But it is a little more powerful than previous generation Samsung phones, including the Galaxy Note 8.

• Dual Lens Camera:

After the iPhone 7 Plus debuted last fall with a dual-lens camera and LG followed with its own dual-lens system with the G6, he would find that Samsung would do the same. That did not happen with the S8, though Note 8 added two rear lenses. Analysts expect this feature will also reach the Galaxy S9. According to a report by Android Headlines, the reversing camera will be equipped with a 16-megapixel sensor. The front camera will deliver 12 megapixels and could come with a dual-sensor design. • Modular design: According to a leak from mobile review publisher Eldar Murtazin, Samsung can modulate the design of the Galaxy S9, much like the Moto Z series and the essential phone. In other words, it could fit into several modules that add functionality to the phone.

• Some Dimensional Talk:

A report in Android Headlines shows that the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 + will be a little shorter than their predecessors. According to the report, the Galaxy S9 will reach a length of 144.1 mm, about 5 mm less than the Galaxy S8. The Galaxy S9 + could be 155.2mm high, a 4.7mm drop. The width and thickness, however, must be the same.

• Hello, notch?

Samsung may choose to be inspired by Apple's iPhone X, according to a Forbes report. To make the screen of the smartphone even bigger and cover the face better, Samsung plans to make the frames thinner and leave a dent or notch on top of the screen. A report uncovered by Android titles added that a sleeker bezel design option is underway, but Samsung still wants to maintain the 18: 9 ratio in the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8.

• Physical fingerprint sensor

According to a report from an unidentified SamMobile source, Samsung abandons the plans for a built-in fingerprint sensor and places a physical sensor on its back instead. However, it is not known if the sensor is still positioned in the terrible position next to the reversing camera or if it finds a more suitable point in the center of the panel. One person named Ice Universe in Weibo and Twitter said he was "100% sure" that Samsung would not accept the "fingerprint recognition" screen in the S9 galaxy. Ice Universe has a pretty strong history. However, it is unclear whether Samsung will completely remove the fingerprint sensor or continue with a physical sensor.

• Hello, Android Oreo:

Samsung has opted for the Galaxy S9 operating system: Android Oreo. According to a Galaxy Club report, Samsung is already testing both the Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9 + and nature's devices are running Android 8.0.0 Oreo. It is unclear whether Samsung will be upgraded to Android 8.1, which is currently on Next and Pixel devices in the beta phase, although this is entirely possible.

• A competitor face ID?

It is not likely. Samsung could speak out against the flagship security device of the iPhone X. That is, if you think that some Twitter accounts of weak origin indicate this. The smartphone would come with a "3D sensor front camera" that is not deceived by photos like the 2D scanner in the Galaxy S8. The scan of the iris will always be there. However, a recent report from Business Korea shows that Samsung can not integrate the 3D face scan on time because it calls "technological limitations".

• Super slow motion also talks about the possibility of the Samsung Galaxy S9 taking pictures in super-slow motion, thanks to a rear-view camera sensor, to record 1,000 frames per second. This would bring the Galaxy S9 on par with the Sony Xperia XZ1 and allow the possibility of incredible shots of photos and videos.

• Fast Modem:

Samsung says it is working on a version of its next-generation Exynos processor with an LTE modem that supports the aggregation of six operators. What does it mean? Theoretically, this means that the Galaxy S9 could reach download speeds of up to 1.2 Gbps, 20% more than the Galaxy S8 modem. Imagine downloading a 10-second HD movie, streaming live from your smartphone, and making video calls without buffering time. In reality, however, this will not happen soon, not because of Samsung's chipset, but because the smartphone operators also need to support the aggregation of six operators. It certainly will not happen this year or next. But Samsung is probably future-proof for your phone when the 5G is ready for launch (if possible).

• The headphone jack might disappear: Careful, Apple:

Samsung would have decided to leave the headphone jack on the Galaxy S9 + S9 +, according to an Android owner. Samsung had considered the same move on the Galaxy S8, but eventually decided to keep the port.

• The return of the infinite screen:

why should one get involved in something good? The Samsung screen without the bezel, which was introduced with the Galaxy S8, is one of the best features of this phone, so it is no surprise that Samsung does not play too much with the look of the S9.
