Rumour Roundup
As expected, the renders reveal a dual-camera setup for the Samsung Galaxy S9+. Samsung has taken this decision to make sure there is a definitive difference between the two models. As expected, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom of the phone along with a single speaker and a USB C port.
The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will have glass on the back since it will support wireless charging. Even though wireless charging has recently received a lot of attention, Samsung has been implementing wireless charging in its flagship phones for some time now, dating back to Galaxy S6. The fingerprint sensor, placed below the dual-camera setup is in a much better position.
Another video of a Galaxy S9 dummy has been leaked which reveals a design similar to the Galaxy S9+. The dummy in the video looks much thicker than what the actual device will be. However, similar design elements from two different leaks is an encouraging sign. The video shows a person revealing the Galaxy S9 from all angles. The Galaxy S9 will have a single camera on the back and a smaller screen size.
The Galaxy S9 will have a 5.8 inch Super AMOLED display while the Galaxy S9+ will have a 6.2 inch display. Both the devices will have a 2960 x 1440 px resolution.
Similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy S9 will have a single 12MP SuperSpeed Dual Pixel camera. This time around, however, the camera will have an f/1.5 aperture and record super slow motion videos, probably at 960fps. The Samsung Galaxy S9+ will become the second phone from Samsung to feature a dual-camera setup on the back after the Galaxy Note8. Similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note8, the Galaxy S9+ will have a wide-angle and a telephoto lens setup.
The Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are expected to be the most sought after flagship phones at least in the early part of 2018.
