The Galaxy S9 is rumored to feature a 12MP front and 16MP rear dual cameras, a 3D facial recognition and/or a fingerprint sensor, a 5.8-inch Infinity display, and a dust and water resistance, The Galaxy S9 Plus would also carry the same specifications while sporting a larger screen size measuring 6.2 inches and a bigger battery capacity. The Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus will also enjoy an exclusive Snapdragon 845 processor, which will most likely be a competitive advantage of the company among other Android phones for 2018.
According to BGR, “Samsung and Qualcomm inked a special deal for the Galaxy S8, making the phone the first device in the world to pack a Snapdragon 835 processor. Other devices, like the LG G6 that LG launched more than a month before the Galaxy S8 was unveiled, suffered the consequences.”
The outlet also stated, “The Snapdragon 845 launching next year will be a Galaxy S9/S9+ exclusive, Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin said in a tweet. If accurate, that must be terrible news for Samsung’s competitors looking to unveil new phones early next year.”
At the moment, there are still no confirmations yet from Samsung. For the meantime, it is best to take these rumors with a grain of salt.
