Samsung Galaxy S9 Leaked In Live Images

Samsung is all set to announce the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the Galaxy S9+ at MWC 2018. A lot of leaks and renders of these smartphones have been leaked online in the past few weeks. Finally, now we have a fresh batch of photos of the Galaxy S9. These pictures match with the renders from all aspects, with an additional confirmation on the infamous Bixby button.

Design:

As per these images, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is almost similar to the Samsung Galaxy S8. The only difference that we could make out is the placement of the fingerprint scanner. The Galaxy S8 was criticised for the fingerprint scanner placement. However, with the Galaxy S9, the company appears to have made amends.

As per the report, we might also see narrower bezels on Galaxy S9. However, it will be very difficult to make out the difference until and unless they are kept next to each other. The Samsung Galaxy S9’s major upgrade would be in terms of the camera. As per the leaks, the Galaxy S9 is speculated to feature a 12 MP camera with a variable aperture from f/1.5 to f/2.4.

Conclusion:

The overall form factor almost remains identical to that of the Galaxy S8. However, the company has made all the necessary changes internally. A faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 chipset with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage also scores impressive results on various benchmarking websites. The Galaxy S9 and S9+ are also expected to be some of the fastest Android devices on the market.

The bigger version of the Galaxy S9 is called as Galaxy S9+, which offers a slightly bigger display with a dual camera setup on the back. As expected, the Galaxy S9+ will have 6GB of RAM with a much bigger battery to cater additional pixels.

Samsung Galaxy S9 Leaked In Official AR Renders

Samsung will be launching the Galaxy S9 and S9+ at MWC 2018. Both smartphones have been heavily leaked and there is barely anything left that can surprise us. However, this morning a unique kind of leak showcased the Galaxy S9 based on AR technology.

Samsung has released an app called “unpack” for the MWC attendees, which comes with a QR code for the entry to the general public, who like to watch the live streaming of the event. The QR code takes the attendees to an app, which comes packed with hints and teasers regarding the launch event.

An XDA Developers member has successfully decompiled the APK. The APK contained a 3D render of the Samsung Galaxy S9. Anyone can access the 3D model just by scanning the press event, but, the app was modified to see a 360 model of the phone in full glory.

The 3D model matches with the renders of the smartphone, but, no additional details have been obtained from these renders.

Expected specifications:

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to have a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED QHD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio, with narrow bezels. Under the hood, the smartphone will be powered by either Snapdragon 845 chipset or Exynos 9810. According to a leak, the device will be offered in two storage options, 4GB RAM/64GB storage and 4GB RAM/128GB storage.

The camera on the Galaxy S9 will have a noticeable upgrade. A leak reveals that the device would have a 12 MP camera with a variable aperture from F/1.5 to F/2.4. The mobile is expected to run Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with Experience UI on the top.

Like its predecessors, the Galaxy S9 will have an IP68 water and dust resistance certification. The smartphone is expected to include a killer feature called “smart scan”, which uses both iris scanner and facial recognition for more accurate authenticate system. However, this technology uses Samsung API, this feature won’t be utilised for banking.

The Galaxy S9 will cost KRW950,000 (US$ 883) in South Korea, the Samsung’s native market. For context, the Galaxy S8 was priced at KRW935,000 (US$ 875) at the time of launch.

Hence, as it promised the Exynos 9810 features the new and improved 6CA modem.

At the time of unveiling of the 6CA modem, Samsung had said:

Mobile processor adopting the new Cat.18 6CA-supported LTE modem technology is expected to be in mass production by the end of this year.
