Samsung Galaxy S9 Gets A New Ice Blue Gradient Colour
Samsung has been experimenting with gradient colours on its mid-range devices. The gradient finish was most recently seen on the quad-camera Galaxy A9. The company, however, did not extend this to its flagship phones. A launch in China, has changed that. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are now available in an Ice Blue gradient finish. The colour option has only been introduced in China as of now, but might make its global debut soon.
The new colour option for the Galaxy S9 and S9+ might be to warm up the market to introduce the upcoming flagship from Samsung. This move from Samsung reflects their latest findings. According to Samsung’s design labs, gradient colours are a major market trend for this year. This might have prompted the company to adapt this strategy with its mid-range phones as well. And might now spill over to its flagship devices.
