There’s no arguing the fact that the Galaxy S8 is still one of the
best-looking phones on the market. Its Quad HD AMOLED Infinity Display
is exquisite, its camera takes excellent photos, and even Samsung’s
software is now even more enjoyable.
All of the greatness found with the
S8 has put a lot of pressure and expectations on the S9 although it
probably won’t be a big upgrade as expected; it still is likely to be
one of the best phones of 2018.
A CAD render of the Galaxy S9
reveals what will most likely be the absolute look for the device, and
it’s not a big change from the S8. The S9 will have extremely tiny
bezels around its display with a metal frame and glass back; however,
there is a change in the location of the fingerprint sensor.
Samsung’s
reasoning for putting the fingerprint sensor on the S8 where it did,
remains unclear, but with the S9, it will be placed right below the
camera lens. In other words, unlocking a Samsung phone with your finger
has been made easier.
On the Infinity Display, the S9 is expected
to make it even more impressive than it already is on the S8. The
screen-to-body ratio of the Galaxy S8+ is still a thing of beauty at
84-percent, but according to a tip received from SamMobile, the S9+ will
move it up with a screen-to-body ratio of 90-percent. This six-percent
increase will theoretically result in a virtually nonexistent bezel for
the S9’s chin and a top bezel that’s even smaller than the bottom one
found on the S8.
Before its announcement on April 21, the Galaxy
S8 passed through the FCC in the U.S. in early March. All phones get
certified by the FCC about a month or two before they’re unveiled, and
this can be used as a way to determine when an official announcement is
coming.
The Galaxy S9 made it to FCC’s doorstep on the 27th
of December, and this is a strong indicator that we’ll see the phone
announced in either late January or early February. Also, a list showing
all the Snapdragon 845-powered phones indicates that the S9/S9+ are
slated for a February launch as well. This is mostly speculation, and we
will be surprised if wait until March or April to get Samsung’s latest.
Some
of the improvements to be expected are 512GB of storage, both S9 and
S9+ have Iris scanning improvements to take on Face ID, only the S9+
will get dual rear-cameras, and the S9 will have battery capacity of 3,
200 mAh unlike the S8 that has 3, 000 mAh.
