Rumors of Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus
To show that, Samsung Mobile is already looking forward to having the S9 on the Market early 2018, they have started serious long term labour on it and it is selling out.
The S9 and S9 Plus were first spotted on Geekbench database. A device with the model name SM-G9650 is listed with a 1.78GHz quad-core Snapdragon 845 processor and just 4GB of RAM. It scored 7371 points in the RenderScript test, which is lower than the Galaxy S8 managed in the same test.
*. Display and Size: The first rumors flying round is that, the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus might arrive in the same screen display, which is the 5.8in and 6.2in.
And might be first Galaxy Phone to boast new AMOLED screen tech codenamed ‘Sunflower’
However, we do not have strong ground on whether, it is bezel-less, probably, it might still arrive as the same, it has not yet been confirmed. This is the earliest rumors.
*. Camera: The Galaxy S9 could pack a camera sensor capable of shooting ‘super slow motion’ footage at 1,000fps and the camera sensor will use stacked image sensing tech similar to the Sony Xperia XZ1, with the ability to temporarily store captured images on a DRAM chip in one of the layers.
*. Processor: On the other hand of the rumors, this is concerning the Processor, reports has it that, Samsung is working on a new Snapdragon 845 processor in partnership with Qualcomm.
And the exact reports here is that, it might arrive on the Galaxy S9! Still looking forward to it, as well as you do.
Again, rumors also state that the Galaxy S9 might not come in a Snapdragon variant, with the smartphone instead shipping only with Samsung’s own Exynos 9810 processor, complete with CDMA network support.
*. Code-Name: Another rumors flying round is the Code-names for the S9 and S9 Plus. Rumors has it that, Samsung is planning on using the Star and Star 2 for the S9 and S9 Plus respectively.
Well, am not seeing this at work, at first, rumors has it that the Note 8 would be called Note Gr3at Again but it turns out purely FAKE.
*. On Screen Fingerprint: It is now widely known that Samsung and Apple failed in the race to launch the first Smartphone to feature On Screen Fingerprint without having the Sensor either at the back or at the home front button.
All credit goes to the Vivo Xplay 6, that arrived as the First Smartphone to feature the On-Screen Fingerprint Sensor, Apple and Samsung has been working on this but all failed.
It may probably arrive on the on coming Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, Source said.
The Galaxy Note 9 may have an “under-display optical fingerprint” sensor when it’s released in the second half of 2018, according to Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with KGI Securities known for his understanding of the Asian electronics supply chain.
That means users of the Galaxy Note 9 would be able to unlock their phone by simply placing their finger on part of the screen.
*. Download Speed: The Galaxy S8 arrives with a download speed of 1Gbps modem but on the S9 and S9 Plus, we are looking at a more bigger speed which might increase to 1.2Mbps, a 20 per cent.
It was derived from Samsung latest update after officially announcing it, as the ‘industry’s first’ Cat 18 LTE modem with 6CA support, it might probably arrive on the S9!
*. Connectivity: Business Korea says the Samsung Galaxy S9 will similarly pack 5G connectivity, indicating the two South Korean companies will go head to head in this department.
Business Korea’s claim is a little more thought out, stating that the 5G specs mean it will contain a Qualcomm Snapdragon X50 5G modem.
*. Coming from a well-known tipster Elder Murtazin, who claims that the 2018 flagship could feature a ‘MotoMod’ style modular design, allowing users attach external modules via magnetic pins on the rear of the phone.
*. Display: It was recently discovered that a display concept as shown below has been approved by Korean Intellectual Property Rights Information Service, rumored that it might arrived on the Galaxy S9!
