Samsung Galaxy S9

See All Stories

Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S9 and S9+, the successors to 2017’s top-selling smartphones. This year, though, besides repositioning the horribly placed fingerprint sensor, the overall hardware design goes unchanged. Instead, Samsung focused on improving the onboard camera(s) and software-based productivity features.

Official-looking renders of Samsung Galaxy S9 leak, corroborating design & rumored features

At this point, there’s almost nothing that we don’t know about Samsung’s forthcoming Android flagships. From an external design standpoint, the phone is set to be an iterative improvement over last year’s model, and internally, there are — as usual — several improvements that touch almost every aspect of the device.

Today, we’re getting yet another look at what Samsung plans to announce at MWC in Barcelona, Spain, in the form of renders and stock imagery from a couple oft-reliable sources…

Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ leak again, this time showing off the front and back of the phone

Late last month, known leaker Evan Blass showed us official renders of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+’s displays. While the fronts don’t look much different from the outgoing generation, newly leaked renders of the two devices in Lilac Purple give us a clear look at the Galaxy S9+’s dual-camera setup…

How much would you pay Samsung to put a Pixel-like version of Android on the Galaxy S9? [Poll]

As we quickly approach the announcement and launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9, we aren’t expecting much to change on the software side. While Samsung does have a loyal following who enjoyed TouchWiz and the company’s latest Experience launcher, many others still wish the Galaxy handsets ran something closer to “stock Android.”

PSA: Those supposedly-real-life Galaxy S9 images are sadly still just a concept

Renders of the Samsung Galaxy S9 leaked last month via the typically-credible leaker OnLeaks, so what the next Samsung flagship will look like is not exactly a secret at this point. But as is the usual second stage in the Android flagship leak news cycle, we’re now anxious to see the first real-life spy shots of the phone. Unfortunately, those haven’t arrived yet.

KGI: Samsung Galaxy S9 will follow the Note 8’s example w/ a dual-camera setup

The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was officially unveiled yesterday, and although it’s a fairly modest improvement compared to the Note 7 and Galaxy S8/S8+, one of the most notable new features is the phone’s dual-camera system. The Note 8 is the first phone from Samsung to feature a dual-camera setup, and according to a new report, the Galaxy S9 will follow suit with this latest trend.

Samsung’s Galaxy S9 will allegedly use the same screen as S8, on-screen fingerprint will likely be attempted

At this point, I think it’s safe to say that the Galaxy S8 has been a hit, and that’s thanks in no small part to Samsung’s incredible Infinity Display. Packing massive screens at 5.8-inches and 6.2-inches on mainstreams flagships sounds insane on paper, but the thin bezels and stretched aspect ratios of the S8 make it work. According to new reports, it seems Samsung is going to do the same thing for the Galaxy S9.

Galaxy S9 reportedly under development with codename ‘Star,’ may be ahead of schedule

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ may have just hit the market, but that doesn’t mean Samsung isn’t already dedicating resources to developing next year’s flagship, the Galaxy S9. As usual, the company is getting started several months ahead of time, and today, we’re hearing some new details about the upcoming phones.
