Everything we know about the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone. Presentation of Samsung Galaxy S9: characteristics and prices Samsung Galaxy S9 - what kind of screen it will be

Most.

Update | 01/05/2018

The Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus appeared in tests, and then we found renderings from the case makers. Additionally, we now have a better idea of ​​when the smartphone might hit the market.

Samsung will almost certainly release it along with the original, unless the manufacturer plans drastic changes.

And based on previous releases, we can predict that you'll be getting a larger smartphone than the S9, with a larger battery, but otherwise very similar.

The information floating around the internet about the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus is not set in stone yet, but there are a number of rumors about the new Galaxy S9 that we can use as a starting point.

Let's go!

• What is this? Big brother of Galaxy S9;
• When to expect? Probably early 2018;
• How much will it cost? Probably over $850 (51,000 rubles);

SamsungGalaxyS9Plus: Release date and prices

• The January rumors look unlikely;
• The release of the smartphone may take place in February;

The latest information leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will be announced on February 26th at MWC 2018.

Some rumors previously promised us a Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus in January at CES 2018 (which will be held from January 9th to 12th). However, Samsung now says that such a release is "unlikely."

Whenever a flagship smartphone comes out, it is an expensive one. There are no rumors about prices yet, but the Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus has hit the market with a price tag of $850. We expect the new Galaxy S9 Plus to have a similar or higher price.

Editor's comment: Best guess is a late March release, given that January teasers now seem unlikely.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus: Screen

• Fingerprint scanner and waterproof coating;
• In-screen fingerprint scanner;

We have no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have a large curved Super AMOLED display. We don't know exactly what size it will be, but it will likely remain roughly the same size as the 6.2-inch.

It could well match the same 2960 x 1440 pixel resolution and will likely have a similar 18.5:9 aspect ratio, given Samsung's need to develop a new screen shape in the app market. We've also heard that this is an accurate ratio if rumors are to be believed.

While we didn't see the Galaxy S9 Plus's screen in photos, we did see some (below), and it's likely the standard Galaxy S9 will have a similar but smaller display.

This is the likely design of the Galaxy S9, but we expect the Galaxy S9 Plus to be similar.

— @OnLeaks.

As you can see, the screen is very similar to the Galaxy S8 panel. We've heard about various features that will set it apart from its predecessor. Firstly, there is a possibility that the manufacturer will be able to integrate a fingerprint scanner into the screen, which will allow Samsung to return it to the bezel without increasing the bezels around the display.

These are all rumors that have been circulating online for a while, initially they were aimed at the Galaxy S8, but the flagship did not bring long-awaited features, so some sources believe that we will not see them until , if we should count on these features at all.

Another important possibility is the glass coating, which resists fingerprints, reduces screen reflectivity and causes water to be repelled from the panel. Rumors of such glass are not directly related to the Galaxy S9 Plus, but Samsung has already licensed the technology and plans to use it on smartphones.

Editor's comment: We doubt the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will get an in-display fingerprint scanner or other major upgrades.

SamsungGalaxyS9Plus: Design

• Frames are thinner than onGalaxyS8Plus;
• A cutout at the bottom of the screen for a fingerprint scanner;

The closest image we've gotten of the Galaxy S9 Plus is perhaps the case, which comes directly from Case Olixar.

It features a familiar design, but with a 2-lens camera and a fingerprint scanner that has been moved under the lens, where it's much easier to reach.

GalaxyS9 on the left, andGalaxyS9Plus with two lenses - on the right.

On the other hand, one of our sources said that the standard S9's screen panels will be even smaller than those on the S8, which makes sense and will likely be true for the S9 Plus as well.

This would mean that Samsung could either shrink the body while keeping the screen the same size, or increase the screen size without increasing the physical size of the smartphone.

Otherwise, the design will likely be similar to the S8 Plus, with a glass back and metal frame, although we noticed the fingerprint scanner may move around. Probably not into the screen, but perhaps towards the center of the back panel or, as one patent shows, into a special cutout at the bottom of the screen.

SamsungGalaxyS9Plus may have a notch at the bottom of the screen.

Another likely design change - although very unlikely - is the modular design of the Galaxy S9 Plus, which will allow you to attach hardware accessories similar to Moto Mods. We have only heard about this from one source, a solution does not seem likely to us.

The phone could also come in a new color as Samsung is apparently considering a purple variant.

Editor's comment: Expect a design similar to the Galaaxy S8 Plus, but with some refinements. Most likely, the smartphone will thin out the screen panels.

SamsungGalaxyS9Plus: Camera

• Dual camera;
• 3 D-face identification scanner;
• 1000 fps;

Samsung may be working on a camera capable of shooting at 1,000 frames per second, according to some industry sources, which could offer some pretty good Slow Motion shooting - the manufacturer has already announced a sensor capable of something similar, making the Galaxy S9 a suitable platform for its release.

We've also heard that the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will have a dual rear camera setup, which isn't surprising since the Galaxy Note 8 does something similar, but the standard Galaxy S9 may be limited to just a single camera on the back.

SamsungGalaxyS9Plus may have a similar camera withGalaxyNote 8.

The only serious rumor regarding the camera hardware concerns the front optics, which may have a 3D sensor. This could mean we'll see a facial recognition system similar to Face ID on .

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ will go on sale in Russia very soon. Over the past few months, the release of these smartphones has been surrounded by speculation, rumors and assumptions. Now you can see these devices with your own eyes, embodying all the diversity of modern technologies.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+: technical specifications and detailed review of smartphones

Experts traditionally compare the two new flagships with the Galaxy S8. Now let’s look at the main characteristics of the new products.

Design

The appearance does not conceal the revolutionary changes promised by Samsung. For example, internal slopes to increase the usable display area remained in the manufacturer’s plans. At first glance, the new product has remained virtually unchanged in appearance; the housing is similar to the design of the Note 8. But the device is equipped with stereo speakers, as promised earlier.

The design of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is not much different from the previous version of the flagship

The strength of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ case was enhanced with denser AL7003 aluminum and thick glass. This will be good for accidental falls or long-term use of smartphones. The metal edging running along the perimeter has become 0.2 mm thicker. Unfortunately, measures to increase the strength of the case have also led to thickening of smartphones by 0.4 and 0.5 mm. The difference, however, is insignificant.

This trend is not new. Apple also placed the latest generation iPhone in cases made of durable and thick glass with metal impurities.

Ergonomics

It cannot be said that ergonomic issues are the strong point of Samsung's developments. Of course, you can justify the thickening of the case with assurances that it is durable and not susceptible to deformation when dropped. But even the massive (and we are talking about the flagships of the series) S9 and S9+ are something different than the previous generation of the series. Some enlargement of the body has had a positive effect on its shape; the smartphone display no longer stretches to the sides, as before, but “sits” more naturally. The side edges have also become more comfortable. Experts tend to compare the convenience of the two flagships with the LG V30.

The case remains easily soiled to the touch, which cannot be called a plus of the new devices.

The headphone jack, the talk of modern smartphones, is in its right place. The back of the case has one significant innovation. Taking into account user requests, the manufacturer moved the fingerprint scanner directly under the camera eye. Now it is very difficult to miss and dirty the camera eye when using the scanner.

"Iron"

Two 8-core models are installed as processors: Snapdragon 845, Exynos 9810. Having a 4 GB slot for a 2018 flagship is frankly not enough, but for the S9+ 6 GB of RAM is quite normal. Storage from 64 GB to 256 GB is allocated for permanent memory. Displays will be discussed in a separate section.

Power

To the logical question “how are things going with power compared to the S8?” The short answer is: super. The new product demonstrates an increase in power of up to 35% due to a newer processor, faster download speeds due to a fast modem (up to 1.2 Gb/s in the 4G LTE standard), a powerful video accelerator and an updated internal architecture. Processor cores of Samsung's proprietary design - Mongoose M3 - process labor-intensive applications more quickly, and the block of Cortex A55 cores is faster than the current A53. In addition, the technical filling has become a little more energy efficient.

The latest processor opens up great possibilities for the user

If we talk specifically about processor models, experts consider the Exynos 9810 in the Galaxy S9 or S9+ to be the most productive for Android devices when working with applications. Snapdragon 845 is more suitable for games than for time-consuming programs.

The fastest smartphone in data transfer. 1.2 gigabits per second is an absolute record for mobile data transfer speeds for smartphones.

It is too early to talk about the performance of the system as a whole, since there are no production samples for testing. Exhibition copies do not allow running long benchmarks.

Comparison of processors with processors in Apple iPhone

Display

Samsung can rightfully be proud of its flagship screens. Some experts claim that it surpasses even the undisputed market leader iPhone X. The strengths of the Galaxy S9 display are as follows:

• Amazingly accurate color calibration that delivers near-perfect color reproduction worthy of 4K;
• choice of 4 color modes, although the standard one seems more natural;
• Brightness is 20% higher than S8. The maximum brightness is 1000 nits, and in the sun the screen increases its brightness by another 13%. Although this figure is not a record. As we remember, Note 8 has a brightness limit of 1200 nits.

The new Samsung display will not leave anyone indifferent

Another innovation you can add is the so-called landscape mode for displaying icons on the screen. This is convenient when watching videos and for other interface modes. The S9 has a 5.8-inch screen, the older model has a 6.2-inch screen. Resolution 2960x1140, with SuperAMOLED matrix and aspect ratio 18.5:9.

Camera

One of the strengths of the “junior” flagship from Samsung is its 12 megapixel camera with variable aperture. The S9+ lets you take portrait photos that were previously only available on the Note 8's wide-angle camera. Other advantages of the camera include image stabilization, a 1/2.5-inch sensor, and an aperture from f/1.5 (in low light) to a record f/2.4 inches for a bright sunny day. And the combination of these technologies can be successfully called unique, because before Samsung, no one in the world had equipped smartphones with such a set of tools for professional photography. In this case, both auto mode and manual aperture adjustment are available. Why do you need a DSLR now if you have the Galaxy S9+?

The new camera will allow you to take high-quality photographs in a wide format

There's nothing to brag about regarding the video. Slow motion is available in 1280x720 resolution. This result has already been passed by Xperia at 1920x1080. But it's a shame for Sony - shooting must take place in sufficient light for the picture to be clear. Samsung products, although they do not produce 1080p, are less demanding on the environment. In addition, slow motion can be used as wallpaper on the screen, which looks cool by modern standards.

Dual camera similar to the Note 8. The first lens takes panoramic shots, and the second is used in bright sunlight and as a telephoto lens with an f/2.4 aperture. The Galaxy S9 easily shoots 4K video at a very acceptable 60fps.

Battery

The battery capacity of the Galaxy S9 has not changed - the same 3000 mAh. The Galaxy S9+ has increased slightly and is 3500 mAh. And although consumers expected something revolutionary due to the new processor and updated hardware, this did not happen. There are some improvements though. For example, music playback in S9 will be 13 hours longer, and conversations will be 2 hours longer when the screen is off. However, consumer demands in terms of Wi-Fi, 3G and LTE will remain at the same level as the Galaxy S8. The S9+ demonstrates slightly longer music playback, a 1-hour increase in talk time and... the same surfing performance as the previous S8+ model. This data is provided by Samsung. When the models go on sale, real tests will be done, which may differ from the official ones, both for the worse and for the better.

Safety

A high level of security is guaranteed by the technologies of Samsung engineers: facial recognition and IRIS (the owner’s iris scanner). Of course, for everyday use, the Face Unlock face scanner is sufficient. But the “iris” will be needed for banking transactions, owner verification or payments.

Bixby and AI

The built-in Bixby assistant was met with mixed reactions from consumers. Moreover, this non-disabled feature has generated a lot of customer complaints, just like S-Voice. One of the strengths of the assistant, Koreans say, is its ability to translate on the fly any text caught in the camera lens. Since this technology runs on Google Assistant, there is hope for adequate translations from English into Russian. And not as in the case of Microsoft Translator on Huawei Mate 10 Pro, which flooded the Internet with ridiculous verbal constructions.

Bixby assistant is underrated by Russian users

Another useful feature of Bixby will appeal to those who want to lose weight: the assistant accurately distinguishes between foods photographed on camera and gives advice on calorie content. Another feature will be appreciated by ladies who buy cosmetics online. Using the S9, you can virtually apply lipstick or cream to evaluate your appearance before purchasing. Like all such innovations, although theoretically attractive, they need to be tested by real customers. For Russian conditions, an assistant is in little demand.

This is an entertainment function, and it’s also copied from a competitor, last year’s iPhone X. Translating your real image into a cartoon one will interest some of the public. And while Apple uses 3D scanning of a face, which looks more or less realistic in Animoji, Samsung uses a simple selfie. The resulting distorted self-portrait is not very pleasing to the user. But finished pictures can be sent directly to Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger. Ready-made sets of Disney characters have been prepared for children.

Release date in Russia and expected price of both versions.

Sales of the Galaxy S9/S9+ are scheduled to begin on March 16, 2018. The starting price is RUB 59,990. and 67,000 rub. There will be an opportunity to purchase a smartphone earlier - on March 9 in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other large cities. To do this, you need to pre-order (at least a week in advance) and pay for the purchase in full.

Is the new flagship better than the iPhone? Why?

If we consider the Galaxy S9 in comparison with the iPhone X, experts say its main advantage is the smartphone screen. The results are based on a series of tests from renowned benchmarking lab DisplayMate. Although there is almost no external difference from the previous model, the display hardware has undergone qualitative improvements. This was achieved through factory color calibration. Not only the color, but also the brightness and viewing angles are excellent. Therefore, Samsung flagships deserve the highest score for these indicators (A+). The difference in the picture can only be discerned in a virtual reality helmet, provided that the screens are directly in front of the eyes. In other words, the accuracy of the image on the screen is practically no different from the real image.

Shooting video

The slow motion rate of the Galaxy S9 is 960 frames per second. On the iPhone X, this figure is 240 frames per second, but at a higher resolution of 1080p.

Smartphone security

Samsung's advantage is its dual identification system; the iPhone X only allows for recognition of the owner's face.

Transfer data from the cloud

Now the Samsung flagship has the same function, not through the Google service, like Apple, but through its own cloud storage.

iPhone X uses Animoji technology. The Galaxy S9 comes with AR Emoji feature. Samsung technology allows you to create 18 emotional states and send ready-made pictures to popular instant messengers.

Voice assistant

Bixby (Samsung) can translate texts in foreign languages. The function has not yet been Russified.

Modem

Audio

The sound of the S9 is about 40% louder, there are two connectors, and new AKG speakers are installed.

Brief conclusions

Devices from Samsung are more technologically advanced, they have more modern technologies and successful discoveries.

8 differences between the Galaxy S9 and the previous flagship S8

Many have probably noticed that the new flagships from Samsung are not too different in appearance from the S8. Except for the new location of the fingerprint scanner. But this external similarity dissipates when you get acquainted with the hardware of smartphones. Experts have compiled a list of 8 main differences, which we present below.

8 key differences that users will immediately notice

Thick glass Gorilla Glass 5 of the new generation

The new glass is called Corning Gorilla Glass 5. It is more durable than the S8, which cost about $200 to replace.

The screen area has increased, the ergonomics are better

Due to the thinning of the upper and lower frames, the total screen area in relation to the front panel has increased. In addition, the ergonomics have become better, making it more comfortable to hold the devices in your hand.

Side buttons are more convenient

The buttons on the side faces are raised higher and thicker. When you hold your smartphone with one hand, you no longer need to look at the buttons to switch them.

Metal frame is more beautiful and durable

Thanks to the new aluminum alloy and Satin Gloss coating, the frame looks aesthetically pleasing and is more durable. Now the frame color is unified with the body color.

Optical heart rate monitor

In addition to heart rate, the new heart rate monitor measures heart rate under load (Heart Load Factor). According to the manufacturer, this device cannot replace medical devices, but is intended only for fitness or light exercise.

Landscape screen layout

The horizontal arrangement of icons makes it easier to switch between interface modes (smartphone position).

Updated ringtone library

For the first time, modern styles of R&B, hip-hop or pop music have appeared in the built-in music library.

Video review in Russian

Thus, high-quality samples from Samsung are presented to consumers. And if earlier more emphasis was placed on the external sides of Galaxy smartphones, now a lot of work has been done to correct the mistakes. In addition, the wishes of customers are taken into account. The new flagships, while remaining similar in external design to the S8/S8+, inside turned out to be completely new smartphones filled with modern functions and technologies. As a result, the flagships are in many ways superior to the long-time leader in the smartphone market - Apple.

The characteristics, release date, price, video and photos of the Samsung Galaxy C9 smartphone are of interest not only to ordinary users, but also to travelers in 2018. After the release of the previous model, it showed that in a smartphone it is not so much the number of pixels in the camera that is important, but rather its efficiency, this also applies to other parameters. In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will reliably protect information and functionality from environmental influences, and at the same time become a stylish, modern flagship of 2018.

At the end of this article, news about the Samsung Galaxy S9 will traditionally be published as it becomes available.. Article.

You can BUY a Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone in the online store "OZONE" .

At the end of the article, we will introduce you to the entire Samsung Galaxy model range from S to S8 (technical specifications and photos). In the meantime, at the beginning, before the characteristics of the S9, we will traditionally present the legend of the origin of the flagship line of Samsung Galaxy smartphones.

How the Legend was born

Initially, no one expected that a Samsung smartphone from the Galaxy line with a simple S prefix would become the best smartphone of the year according to EISA, which predetermined the popularity of the gadget (EISA is an abbreviation for European Imaging and Sound Association). Although he was really good, this was clearly not enough for a legend to arise. The legend needed more: a name, a halo and a successful continuation. And if the continuation is unsuccessful, then at a minimum, a skillful PR move is needed.

The enemy is also no less important. Yes, yes, if the legend does not have an enemy, adversary, adversary, or at least a serious opponent, then the project to create a legend is doomed to failure, since there will be no intrigue. As you probably already understood, we are talking about iconic electronics from Cupertino - Apple devices. The only thing Samsung does not yet have in this regard is a legendary personality, an analogue of Steve Jobs.

So, to create a legend, there is everything that is required, including funding. Battered, but proud (what can I say - a really great company) Nokia crawls off to Finland to lick its wounds, and Samsung comes out on top in the world in terms of the number of fans and sales of its “smart” mobile phones. At the same time, the Koreans do not forget to regularly cross swords in various courts with the unattainable American “stub,” as Apple is sometimes called (may the adherents of the “half-apple” forgive us).

So, the legend is created. Long live !

Specifications Samsung Galaxy S9

This is just the initial version of the concept from early 2017:

Samsung Galaxy S9 design

You can expect a non-trivial approach from the Samsung Galaxy S9. For example, the product will be flexible, semi-flexible or foldable. The folding version is very controversial because it looks clumsy and outdated (like flip phones), but flexible smartphones are already a reality. Today there are already flexible batteries and screens - why not create a model that is truly pliable, which will make it both more convenient and secure?

Samsung Galaxy S9 display

As before, there are likely to be two display options and body sizes - for those who like compact but comfortable devices, and for those who prefer phablet-type devices that can combine the convenience of large screens of tablets and pocket-sized smartphones.

It is likely that the display in the Galaxy S9 will be between 5.5 and 6 inches, and the Galaxy S9+ will be between 6 and 7 inches. It makes no sense to install a resolution higher than what was in the Galaxy S8 - the human eye will still not be able to distinguish a larger number of pixels.

Rather, efforts should be focused on other characteristics - color gamut, playback speed, playback optimization, flexibility, etc. I would really like to see in the new product a new charging technology from solar panels, the elements of which are built into the display; such technology has already been created by Kyocera.

Camera Samsung Galaxy S9

In the camera of the future Samsung Galaxy S9, the main thing is the lens and other parameters, and not the pixels. Automate the processes of recognizing environmental conditions, make excellent optical image stabilization, increase speed, number of frames, shooting modes, improve night photography, etc. - this is the main task of engineers. And let the number of pixels remain at the same level - 8 MP and 12 MP, video and photos of the Samsung Galaxy S9 will not suffer from this.

Battery

According to the author of the www.site, new technologies will be used as early as 2018, since lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries already look like an anachronism. For example, a battery can be graphene, bend, charge in a few seconds and have a thickness of less than a millimeter.

Such technologies have already been created and continue to be improved in institutes in the Far East, the USA and Australia. The only question is the time it will take from the appearance of working prototypes to commercial implementation.

Processor, RAM and ROM Galaxy S9

Modern processors are still ahead of the curve in application development. Therefore, it is more important to optimize existing technologies than to install unnecessary 20-core chips. It is likely that a SoC will appear that operates according to the 7 nm process standards. By the way, such technology is already being developed at Samsung and it is expected that the first microprocessors based on this technology will appear at the beginning of 2018. Just in time for the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S9 – isn’t it?

Here's the quote:

According to Dr. Heo Kuk, head of Samsung's semiconductor division, the company plans to become a leader in the industry. To do this, it plans to use new equipment and the most modern technologies, which will ensure its solutions are no less competitive than in the production of single-chip systems at 14 and 10 nm standards.

The start of production of the new single-chip systems early next year means that they should be used in the company's next flagship smartphone, which will presumably be called the Samsung Galaxy S9.

The author of the www.site votes for a 10-core chip, where 4 cores will have a data exchange frequency of up to 2.0 GHz, and 6 cores will have a data exchange frequency of up to 2.5 GHz. The first 4-core cluster will manage processes that do not require a lot of computing power and energy, and the second 6-core cluster will connect when it is necessary, for example, to calculate the color and expression of the eyes of an astronaut who landed on Alpha Centauri on the day of the Chinese New Year celebration on Earth.

As for RAM and permanent memory, the option with 6 GB RAM and 256 GB ROM seems quite real. It’s also time to install a slot for memory cards that support up to 2 TB - the appearance of such flash drives is just around the corner. Thus, the problem of carrying the entire Lenin Library or the entire Library of Congress of the United States in your pocket will be solved. And there are a lot of letters and illustrations, believe me.

Photos of Samsung Galaxy S9

20-year-old student from Riga Veniamin Geskin is a well-known industry insider under the nickname @VenyaGeskin1, who last year was the first to leak drawings and 3D models of the iPhone X to the Internet. A few hours ago, @VenyaGeskin1 published an image of a 3D model of the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone, created on database of information available on the Internet. After that he added real photos.

FROM THE EDITOR:

Note that Venya’s account says “Concept Creator | Leaks and Rumors Visualization,” which can be translated as “Creator of concepts. Visualization of leaks and rumors.” Apparently, we are talking about a concept that was created on the basis of an analysis of all kinds of “leaks” that are provoked by the manufacturers themselves to stir up interest among the public. But if the iPhone 10 was so successful that its concept coincided with the original, then there is a chance that the original Galaxy S9 will also coincide with this concept.

Added 06-12-2017

Judging by the information provided by Slashleaks, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will have a 5.77-inch screen with thin frames, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, GPS modules, Wi-Fi, a CMOS camera with LED flash, and expanded support for cellular networks around the world. Information about the dual main camera of the Galaxy S9 has not yet been officially confirmed.

In addition, information has appeared on the Internet that Samsung is starting to release 512 GB ROM. There is a possibility that this volume will be installed in one of the versions of the Galaxy S9.

We are most likely talking about a concept created on the basis of leaks - similar to the photos published above. The video shows the main camera with one sensor. A 5.65-inch display is also likely, with an announcement date tentatively set for February 27, 2018.

Added 12/19/2017

ETnews reports that Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9/S9+ on February 25 at the start of MWC 2018 in Barcelona. This is a month earlier than the announcement of the Galaxy S8 / S8+. These devices will go on sale first in South Korea through three local retailers on March 9.

Added 12/20/2017

The first photos are presented, which are indicated as unofficial from one of the holders of test samples of the flagship smartphone. As you can see, they generally coincide with the concepts above. The fingerprint sensor has moved down; the older version has a dual main camera.

Added 12/21/217 Samsung S9+ in benchmark

The Geekbench benchmark database revealed testing results for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9+ smartphone, which has not yet been officially presented by the manufacturer.

The benchmark confirmed such parameters of the Samsung Galaxy S9+ with model number SM-G965U as a top-end Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, 6 GB of RAM and the Android 8.0 Oreo operating system. It also showed impressive performance of the smartphone. The Samsung Galaxy S9+ scored 2422 points in the single-core test and 8351 points in the multi-core test. Data available on Geekbench listings shows that no Samsung smartphone has previously scored significantly higher than 2000 and 6500 points, respectively.

DJ Koh, president of Samsung's mobile division, said that Samsung will announce its new flagship at (or before) MWC 2018 at the end of February.

Looking ahead to 2018.

Update 11/10/2017

The latest report suggests that despite its best efforts, Samsung will not be installing an under-glass fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S9. However, according to rumors, it is going to change its position relative to the Galaxy S8. This information may provide support for a recent Samsung patent suggesting that the Galaxy S9's fingerprint scanner could be housed in a circular cutout at the bottom of the screen.

It hasn't disappeared from store shelves yet, but we're already hearing the first rumors about it, with one report claiming that the smartphone has already passed the first stages of production.

There will be rumors soon about what the new phone will look like, especially since we have already seen and, so we have collected the most interesting information in this article, as well as answered some key questions.

Briefly about the main thing

NewsSamsungGalaxyS9: What's new?

The latest leaks suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will support modular accessories, but without an in-display fingerprint scanner (sadly, it may remain on the back). The phone will be powered by the powerful new Snapdragon 845 chipset and will also remain at 4GB of RAM, instead of the expected 6GB of other current smartphones.

PriceSamsungGalaxyS9: How much will it cost?

We expect a price of $725 / 43,500 rubles based on forecasts, as we expect the Galaxy S9 to come to market at the same price as its predecessor. Given that we don't expect major changes in the design department, we're hesitant about the price increase.

release dateSamsungGalaxyS9: When should we expect it?

We expected a release in March 2018. However, recent rumors suggest that the Galaxy S9 will show itself to the world in January, although this is an early release for those buying smartphones on a 2-year contract abroad.

SamsungGalaxyS9: Release date and prices

We still don't know anything about when the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be released, so we'll have to rely on Samsung's past release history.

Samsung announced the Galaxy S8 at the end of March, so we expect the Galaxy S9 smartphone to follow about a year later, at the end of March 2018.

It is also worth noting that the release of the Galaxy S8 in 2017 was late - the company waited a month longer than usual, so it is quite possible that the new S9 could hit the market at the end of February, in which case it will be presented at Mobile World Cogress 2018, the February exhibition.

Recent rumors claim that due to the premature creation of the OLED panels that will be used on the new smartphone, the Galaxy S9 will arrive in January, but this is an exceptionally early release for many reasons, not least because many users abroad are limited 2 year contracts.

What can we predict with certainty? The Samsung Galaxy S9 is sure to be expensive, as the new Galaxy S8 came with a price tag of $720 (42,000 rubles) abroad, and in Russia sellers priced it at 55,000 rubles at launch, before the price dropped to a reasonable 38-40,000 rubles.

SamsungGalaxyS9: News and Rumors

Not much is known about the Samsung Galaxy S9, but some sources claim that the company has already started working on a new next-generation flagship smartphone.

Bell reports, citing unnamed industry sources, that Samsung has been actively working on screen panels for the Galaxy S9 since late March 2017. If Samsung has started work on the S9 screen, production has actually started six months earlier than usual.

This is not a global surprise, since many companies start working on their flagships in one generation, we are glad to see the first rumors about the next flagship after the release of the current one.

Samsung and Qualcomm have also started working on a new mobile chip, according to The Investor. It looks like the chip will be called Snapdragon 845 - like the Snapdragon 835, which could be found in the American Galaxy S8 models, presumably the 845 will be used in the American Samsung Galaxy S9 models.

Among other things, the use of the Snapdragon 845 has been mentioned in rumors several times, often by fairly reliable sources, so it seems the most likely.

Until now, we do not know anything about the power or performance of the Snapdragon 845 chipset, but we are sure that it will not be the only one; we are waiting for an update to the Exynos chipsets that will accompany the Galaxy S9 in Russia.

Speaking of new Exynos chipsets, Samsung has already revealed that it has developed modems for the next generation of its chips. Why do you need them? In theory, these modems support download speeds of 1.2Gbps - faster than any other phone, meaning you could download an HD movie in just 10 seconds.

However, it's unlikely that we'll get 6GB of RAM inside the S9, which is what many smartphone makers are doing - Samsung is planning on using a much more reasonable 4GB specification instead.

It looks like one of the major chipset developments will allow the company to include a much larger battery. A new report suggests that Samsung is now using PCB technology, a specialized substrate that will allow chipset maker Exynos to include a larger battery without increasing the size of the process.

This may mean that the extra battery capacity won't benefit users of the Qualcomm Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S9 smartphones, but it could mean big improvements for Russian users with Exynos models.

One of the biggest problems with the Samsung Galaxy S8 was the way the fingerprint scanner is positioned on the back of the phone, after rumors were rife with promises that the scanner would go under the display glass, but nothing of the kind happened.

However, the new Qualcomm Fingerprint Sensor could sit below fairly thick screen bezels, and OLED technology (used on Samsung's flagship phones) has been mentioned, among other things.

All this indicates that the Samsung Galaxy S9 may feature under-glass scanner technology.

Again, a source close to production claims that an in-display fingerprint scanner is not in Samsung's plans, as another recent report suggests, so don't count on that feature just yet.

Could this be the location of the new fingerprint scanner?GalaxyS9?

A likely alternative is also the implementation of a fingerprint scanner built into the cutout at the bottom of the screen, a solution somewhat reminiscent of what we see on the Essential Phone, but at the bottom rather than at the top.

This theory is based on a patent that clearly shows such a feature, but patents are often not used in products, so nothing like this might happen.

Either way, Samsung may offer you a new way to unlock your phone, with some rumors hinting that the Galaxy S9 will use a 3D front camera sensor.

Sources don't explain what they mean by this, but the solution sounds very similar to the new Face ID system, which allows you to use facial recognition to unlock your phone. And the 3D part suggests that, as with Apple’s solution, the scanner can no longer be fooled by photography. We won't get our hopes up for this feature, but we won't rule it out either.

When it comes to the cameras of the new Samsung Galaxy S9, the first thing they say is that it will be able to shoot incredible video quality in Slow Motion mode.

Industry sources claim that Samsung is working on a rear camera that will be able to capture images at 1,000 frames per second, which would be better than any phone offering on the market.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is sure to get some new features, one of which could be a modular design with magnets built into the back panel, allowing you to attach hardware accessories (which could take the form of battery packs, zoom lenses, and any other accessory), a bit reminiscent of Moto Mods from Motorola.

Only one source has mentioned this feature so far, so we recommend taking it with a pinch of salt, but such a camera could be a key selling point of the Galaxy S9 if that's the case.

We also saw Samsung's patent for a sensor that analyzes atmospheric conditions and alerts you to how dirty the air around you is.

Additionally, in late 2016, Samsung licensed a new glass coating technology that makes water bounce off your smartphone screen. Samsung plans to include this technology in an upcoming smartphone, so this could mean the Galaxy S9 is much easier to use in the rain. Watch the video below to see how this technology works.

As you can imagine, rumors aren't too active at the moment, but we promise to wade through the rumor jungle, picking out the best from the worst - so bookmark this page if you want to know about the latest Samsung Galaxy S9 news.

SamsungGalaxyS9: What do we want to see?

The Samsung Galaxy S8 hasn't arrived in the wild yet, but we've already been brainstorming improvements we'd like to see on the Galaxy S9.

Folding screen

Rumors about the Samsung Galaxy X, a phone with a foldable display, have been brewing over the past few years.

Samsung's media executive said the company doesn't plan to release a fully foldable phone until at least 2019, but plans could change in the coming months.

For Samsung, building the first truly foldable phone and selling it in 2018 could be a huge decision that will forever change the way we use our phones.

Smaller version

Samsung doesn't offer an alternative flagship like the . Instead, the company is offering the Galaxy S8 for medium and large phone users as well.

We'd like to see the Galaxy S9 come with a third model, featuring a smaller screen for users with smaller hands.

Under-screen fingerprint scanner

It was clear from the news that Samsung wanted to move the fingerprint scanner under the Galaxy S8 screen panel, but the manufacturer did not have enough time to polish the technology.

Instead of embedding a touch-sensitive Home button under the screen, which is useful, we'd like to see a fully implemented technology that includes an under-screen fingerprint scanner.

Price drop

Samsung had to increase the price of the Galaxy S8, making it one of the most expensive flagship phones on the market.

If you buy it in installments over, say, two years, the phone isn't as expensive as it might seem, but we'd like to see Samsung cut the price for next year's phone if possible.

Dual Lens Camera

Galaxy S8 rumors suggested that Samsung was working on a dual-lens camera like the iPhone 7 Plus, but the technology never materialized.

With the Galaxy S8's camera improvements appearing to be quite limited, it would be great to see a decent camera upgrade, even going as far as adding a dual lens to the Galaxy S9.

• Here's everything we know about the new and...

RELATED PRODUCT:

UPD 02/25/2018: The presentation of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ took place and now we know everything about the new flagships from Samsung. Almost everything that was written earlier has been confirmed, so we will comment on the information that has changed. And of course, all photos of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones are already real.

The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are about to replace Samsung's current flagship stock, and given our overall impression of Samsung's current flagships, it's definitely hard NOT to get excited about the next-gen Galaxy. And here's what we know about the Galaxy S9 and S9+ so far.

Design of Galaxy S9 and S9+

To put it bluntly, the Galaxy S9 does not involve a completely new design.

Unsurprisingly, the overall elementless aesthetic will likely remain similar to what we saw on the Galaxy S8 and S8+. This is quite reasonable and logical, considering that Samsung has really outdone itself with the overall look of its flagship. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ will certainly combine glass and aluminum into a premium, well-designed sandwich. Since curved glass on the front is now a hallmark of the company's high-end devices, it's normal to expect such a display on the S9 and S9+. We expect the back glass to also curve nicely to the phone's aluminum frame, as this design approach not only looks sophisticated but also makes the phone feel very nice in the hand.

The biggest trend of 2017 was the edge-to-edge screen, and both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ were among the pioneers of this trend, and it will be improved with each subsequent generation. So the Galaxy S9 and S9+ could still reduce the size of those bezels and improve on the screen-to-body ratio found in the Galaxy S8 and S8+, although not doing so wouldn't be a bad move either. Yes, frames are dying a horrible, horrible death and you're going to have to learn to love this new trend.

UPD after the presentation: At the presentation, the information was confirmed and the new flagships from Samsung have not changed in design compared to the Galaxy S8 and S8+.

New metal design

Samsung has registered a trademark (European Union Intellectual Property Office) for Metal 12, which appears to be a new lightweight and durable magnesium-aluminum alloy developed by Samsung itself and already used as the base material on its recent Notebook 9 (2018) laptop ). The trademark registration hints that this new alloy will certainly be used in other Samsung devices such as the Galaxy S9/S9+ and probably the Gear S4. What are the advantages of magnesium-aluminum alloys? While the difference in devices like smartphones wouldn't be as dramatic, magnesium is lighter than aluminum and stronger per unit volume. These two extraordinary properties of magnesium, the twelfth element on the periodic table (hence metal 12), have called it the “metal of the future,” and it’s easy to see why.

Samsung has certainly toyed with magnesium alloys before, reportedly developing a Galaxy S7 prototype with magnesium a few years ago. It hasn't borne fruit, but it looks like 2018 might change that. Of course, simply filing a trademark and having an alloy laptop obviously doesn't mean a magnesium Galaxy S9/S9+, but it's a possibility that shouldn't be ruled out at all.

UPD after the presentation: There was not a word about Metal 12 in the presentation, so we expect its use in the next flagships from Samsung.

Water resistance and sound

Additionally, as far as the overall design of the S8 family is concerned, the S9 lineup is also rumored to retain all the features of its predecessors. IP68 water and dust resistance. Stereo speakers are mentioned by several sources. The device will reportedly use a bottom-mounted speaker and speaker to create stereo sound, which is similar to what other devices already do. Overall, a pretty great new feature if true.

UPD: The information has been confirmed and Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ received stereo speakers from AKG.

How about a fingerprint scanner?
It's doubtful it will be integrated below the display, which is on almost everyone's wish list at the moment, so we'll likely see a rear sensor. Here you have to hope that it will be more convenient than on the S8/S8+. Judging by the recent Galaxy A8 and Galaxy A8+, Samsung has come to its senses: these two devices have a fingerprint scanner right under the camera module, which looks like an awfully convenient place for a vital biometric sensor.

New DeX Universal Dock

According to multiple reports, a new DeX dock, dubbed DeX Pad, will arrive alongside the Samsung Galaxy S9/S9+. Venturebeat reported that Samsung is set to launch a new model with a new form factor that allows the phone to be placed lying down rather than standing at an angle. This will allow you to easily use your phone as a touchpad, which is already available but which is quite cumbersome to use due to the orientation of the phone. It can also be used as a virtual keyboard, reducing the dependency on using third-party peripherals. It is reported that the new dock will be backwards compatible with the S8, S8+ and Note 8.

Is Samsung betting on AI?
Samsung is close to completing the development of Neural Processing Units (NPUs), also known as "AI chips." These components will improve the ability of mobile devices and servers to run AI-powered software. One of the sources says Samsung has reached the same level for its AI chips that has already been achieved by rival firms Apple and Huawei. The same source believes Sammy will lead its competitors with the AI ​​chips it will produce in the second half of this year.

Now that everyone is betting on artificial intelligence, it is very important for Samsung to actively explore the field and invest in artificial intelligence, not because consumers are pestering it, but because of the fear of losing the potential of the "next big thing" in the industry. So far, current AI implementations have brought negligible gains in user experience, and we have yet to see that the manufacturer is actually right.

UPD: There was no talk about AI at the presentation, but there was quite a lot of information about AR (augmented reality). They presented AR Emoji - the same as Anomoji from Apple, only from Samsung.

Smart Scan
A new rumor suggests that Samsung may be developing a new multi-security feature for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ that uses both the iris scanner and face unlock to provide a more convenient way to unlock the device in different conditions. For example, the retina scanner doesn't work too well in really bright sunny conditions, while the face unlock feature is unreliable in low light. Using them together can bring the best of both worlds and provide easy unlocking in different conditions.

UPD: Intelligent scanning has been confirmed and the new flagships will have combined face and iris unlocking.

Galaxy S9 and S9+ screen

As we said, we don't expect a significant shift in terms of design, which also means we probably won't see an increase in display size on the Galaxy S9 or S9+.

Edge to edge is still in trend
Due to the lack of any concrete information, for now we will assume that the next Galaxy will boast the same displays that were made for the S8 and S8+. The smaller S9 will likely have a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED QHD display with a resolution of 1440 by 2960 pixels, while the larger one will likely remain with the same type of 6.2-inch screen and could have the same resolution . We're also pretty confident that the 18.5:9 aspect ratio is here to stay, and while most media doesn't take full advantage of the display because it's shot at different aspect ratios, such a tall but narrow screen is quite useful to hold and use even with one hand.

Support for DCI-P3 and sRGB/Rec.709 color gamuts also definitely remains; the same can be said for HDR. With them on board, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will remain one of the best devices for viewing multimedia.

UPD: Data on screen sizes and extensions has been confirmed.

Camera

A new leaked image of the Galaxy S9 retail box reveals some interesting information about the flagship camera. In line with previous rumors that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ could record slow-mo videos at 1,000fps, similar to the Xperia XZ Premium, the back of the box suggests the feature will be dubbed "Super Slow-mo." Such a feature could be accomplished by the all-new camera sensor detailed by Samsung, which features a tri-stack fast-read sensor that Samsung could introduce with the S9/S9+. Thanks to this, the cameras of the upcoming Galaxy devices and possibly the S9/S9+ will be able to focus even faster and more accurately than before. Samsung says the so-called "Super PD" focus will be able to intelligently "identify the distance of fast-moving objects even in low light for faster and more accurate autofocus."

What's even more intriguing, however, is the confirmation that Samsung's latest ISOCELL sensors will shoot 480fps videos at acceptable 1080p Full HD resolution. To put things into perspective, just mention that the Galaxy S8 and S8+ only support 240 fps at 720 HD resolution: you'll get twice the frame rate at a much higher resolution.

But even this isn't the most exciting new feature. Assuming the sensor is perfectly capable of shooting 480fps videos in Full HD, then it should theoretically be capable of shooting 960fps at 720p HD resolution. Sony was the first to release a two-stage ultra-fast 960fps sensor with some Xperia devices, but the implementation was quite vague and not entirely intuitive - users could only capture a couple of milliseconds of action and never knew whether the camera would record everything they filmed, or it would slip away. Hopefully Samsung's three-layer sensor can reduce the duration limitation and allow for longer slo-mo video recording. It remains to be seen, but we are moderately optimistic.

Additionally, rumors suggest the camera will arrive with a variable aperture of f/1.5-f/2.4, which suggests it could revert to a wider aperture for very low-light scenarios and utlra slo-mo videos where a lot of light is needed for a short period of time and vice versa for most other situations. Additionally, the camera's Portrait mode, which debuted with the Note 8, can easily take advantage of a wide aperture, pumping up the bokeh quality in portrait shots.

Hardware

Like its Snapdragon 835 predecessors, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are currently expected to use the entire first shipment of Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipsets. Yes, that's what will most definitely be ticking on the US and Chinese versions of the S9, while their international ones versions are traditionally expected to use the Exynos chipset from Samsung. In the case of the S9 and S9+, this is the Exynos 9810 chipset, which is a 10nm process with a frequency of 2.9GHz.

Snapdragon 845...
Built on a 10nm manufacturing process, similar to the Snapdragon 835, but the new SD845 uses Samsung's LPP (Low Power Plus) technology as opposed to the SD835's LPE (Low Power Early) technology.

This means that the new chip provides higher performance with the same power consumption. Another exceptional feature of Snapdragon's next high-end could be its modem, which was built with 5G in mind and supports stunning LTE Cat.18, allowing for theoretical data speeds of 1.2 Gbps.

Most recently, we came across results showing performance on a chipset including the Galaxy S9, with a single-core score of 2378 and a multi-core score of 8132. Given that the Samsung Galaxy S9+ passed through Geekbench in December, scoring similar scores of 2422 and 8351, respectively, it seems plausible that that the above results are for Galaxy S9.

...And Exynos

On the contrary, recent rumors suggest that Samsung's next Exynos could be built on the 8nm LPP manufacturing process, which could theoretically put it at an advantage over the Snapdragon 845 as it could be more efficient and have better performance. This is a recurring theme with Samsung flagships - their Exynos versions are traditionally more efficient and generally superior to their Snapdragon counterparts.

New data on Geekbench seems to give us a sneak peek at the performance of the Exynos 9810 version of the Galaxy S9/S9+. Surprise, surprise, with a single-core score of 3648 points and a multi-core score of 8894 points, it passes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which will use the American version of the flagships. According to previously discovered data, the Snapdragon version scored 2378 points in the single-core test and 8132 points in the multi-core test.

Quite a big difference and a clear win for the Exynos chipset if that's the case!

RAM
It looks like the Galaxy S9 will only be available with 4GB of RAM as Samsung is reportedly looking forward to diversifying its two flagships. As such, only the larger and presumably more expensive S9+ will boast the larger 6GB of RAM. Thus, it will match the Galaxy Note 8 while providing enough storage for multitasking. Meanwhile, the 4GB of RAM on the Galaxy S9 certainly isn't lackluster, but it certainly doesn't feel like it's 2018 yet.

Storage space
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is rumored to be available in two variants: 4GB/64GB and 4GB/128GB storage, which is standard and expected, but the Galaxy S9+ will be available in the following variants: 6GB RAM with 64GB storage, 6 GB RAM with 128 GB storage and 6 GB RAM with 256 GB storage. For now, it's believed that the microSD card slot remains an integral part of the Galaxy S9 and S9+, which is great news.

Battery

Samsung doesn't appear to have plans to increase the battery capacity in every phone, which means we'll get 3,000mAh for the Galaxy S9 and 3,500mAh for the Galaxy S9+.

With wireless charging now becoming more popular, there is no reason to believe that Samsung will remove this essential functionality from its future devices. This means it's almost certain that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will come with fast wireless charging on deck, just like their predecessors. While we don't know if there will be a faster version of the technology, rumors suggest that Samsung will have a brand new 10W wireless charger for the Galaxy S9 that can charge other Samsung devices at the same time, akin to Apple's AirPower charging pad.

Recent listings for the SM-G9600/DS (Galaxy S9 China Edition), SM-G9608/DS (Galaxy S9 Taiwan Edition) and SM-G9605/DS (Galaxy S9+ China Edition) show 5V/2A normal and fast charging 9V/1.67A/15W charging will be supported on devices. This is essentially similar to the specifications of Samsung's own Fast Charge technology found inside the Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8, meaning the Galaxy S9 series is certainly not being updated with faster charging. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that: the Galaxy S8 and S8+ charge quite quickly, with the S8's 3,000mAh and 3,500mAh batteries capable of a full charge in about an hour and 40 minutes or less.

According to recurring rumors, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will have similar batteries (3.00 mAh for the S9 and 3,500 mAh for the S9+), so it's safe to assume that the S9 series will charge similarly to its predecessors.

Price and release date

In the absence of any pricing data so far, our prediction is that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will initially cost the same as the S8 and S8+ at launch, although adding $50-$100 on top will probably be more appropriate.

Here's what the Galaxy S8 and S8 cost during their launch on American soil:

However, rumors claim that consumers should get their money ready because the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be the "most expensive Galaxy devices ever." The Galaxy S7 launched at $650, the Galaxy S8 started at $750, so does that mean we're looking at a starting price of $850 for the Galaxy S9 and even more for the Galaxy S9+? Quite likely, since Apple is already charging customers $1,000 for its iPhone X.

UPD: the stated price for the US Galaxy S9 is $720, for Samsung Galaxy S9+ - $840 for the version with 64 GB of permanent memory, Galaxy S9 - 840 euros, Galaxy S9+ - 950 euros in Europe for the version with 64 GB of permanent memory.

A day before the start of MWC Barcelona, ​​the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be officially unveiled during the Samsung Unpacked event on February 25, with sales starting on March 16.
