Galaxy S9 gets quite a lot of feature from its predecessor – S8. In fact, the feeling of Galaxy S9 is quite the same as S8 experience. That’s a big relief as it enables to have a familiar user experience packed with improved and more powerful hardware. At the first glance, you might mix up S8 and S9. The look is quite the same.

Samsung only announced about Galaxy S9 in MWC. They didn’t specify any release date, but experts are estimating Galaxy S9 to be available in the market within March 2018.

Performance

The Galaxy S9 will come up with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 processor (Exynos processor in North America). The RAM will be different in the two editions – 4GB RAM on S9 and 6GB RAM on S9 Plus. That’s a robust hardware for blazing performance.

The storage is nothing new. Internal storage will be 64GB. For external storage, microSD card is supported up to 256GB. The operating system is going to be Android Oreo (8.0). The software part isn’t much redesigned, except the Bixby app and Camera. The battery is quite good – 3,000mAh on S9 and 3,500mAh on S9 Plus. Both designs support fast charging – wired and wireless. Like its previous generation – S8, S9 is also a gigabit phone. Additionally, S9 is able to handle 600MHz T-Mobile frequencies and can speed up to 1.2Gbps.

Camera

The camera is the most astonishing and astounding feature of S9. For Samsung, it’s the first time they integrated a mechanically adjustable aperture. This facility can switch between a bright f/1.5 and smaller f/2.4 depending on the condition. The brighter one allows about 28% more light inside the lens and the f/2.4 is going to protect against the overexposure in bright scenarios, such as a sunny beach or outdoor.

This switching is possible from the Camera app. This process is automated. However, if you’re an adventurous user, you’re free to experiment with the pro mode of the app. Take a note that the camera can’t take a value in-between f/1.5 and f/2.4.

S9 comes up with a single camera whereas S9 Plus contains 2 rear cameras. The touch sensor is going to be down the camera instead of the right side. This is greatly appreciated, as it’ll make the user experience a lot better.

Price

Galaxy S9 is obviously going to be a really appreciated smartphone in the smart community. It’ll be available on all the major carriers in the U.S. Pricing for the unlocked model is going to be $839.99 and $719.99. The carrier pricing varies a lot – starting from $720 to $800, $840 and $930.

The color option will be gradually available internationally, whereas the U.S. users can choose from black, blue or purple from the starting.

From all the info available on the web, it’s sure that Galaxy S9 is coming out. However, it doesn’t keep the smart enthusiasts in check. There are several information leaks about Galaxy S9 that’s helping us estimate the hardware specs, features and the price of it.

Thanks to WinFuture and Redditors, there’re TONS of leaks in the web. For that reason, I don’t think that Galaxy S9 will be such a hyped phone. So, SPOILER alert!

Speakers

The phone looks quite similar to its predecessor, S8. The phone also features the ultra-slim side bezels and curve. The sound system is improved. The earpiece now also can act as a second speaker in demand, ensuring louder sound for noisy places.

For the first time in the history of Samsung, it’s going to introduce stereo speakers with the Galaxy S9. Moreover, it’s highly suspected that the 3.5mm headphone jack will remain!

Fingerprint sensor

The most common placement for fingerprint sensors is 2 places – the front-bottom and the back. However, Samsung designed their sensors right next to camera lens on the back. This enabled users accidentally end up rubbing their fingertips and unlock the phone without the intention. According to the latest leaks, Samsung’s going to fix it with Galaxy S9.

From the look of the leaked photos, the fingerprint sensor is going to be on the back and right below the camera. It’s an optimal placement that users should welcome. Moreover, the size of the sensor is bigger than before, an assuring feature of better user experience.

Camera

The rear camera may contain an option to switch between f/1.5 and f/1.4 aperture. It’s expected to see variations in the S9 and S9+ editions. However, only S9+ is going to have a dual camera on the back.

S9+ is expected to have dual 12-megapixel rear cameras, giving a clear hardware advantage over S9 – a neat trick by Samsung. The same thing happened to S8 & S8+. The front camera is something to take account of; leaks tell that it’ll come up with 960FPS super-slow-motion video!

Unveiling

According to Samsung’s official statement, the flagship device is going to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress trade show. That’s going to be held on February 25^th, so we only have about a week to wait for the new smart giant! It’s also expected that S9 will hit the market on March.

Now, it’s a matter of time whether Galaxy S9 amazes us or disappoints us. If you’re a Galaxy enthusiast, the hype is about to go skyrocket, right?
