Less than two months left for the release of the new Samsung Galaxy S9 phone.
The Galaxy S9 will be unveiled on 25 February, and on sale 16 March. We look at what to expect, and whether you should upgrade to the Galaxy S9.
What's new in the Samsung Galaxy S9?
Samsung Galaxy announcements are always exciting, but this update isn't going to be as big as in previous years. We'll see a performance improvement with the 7nm Snapdragon 845 (or 10nm Exynos 9810 in certain territories); the Galaxy S9+ has posted a multi-core score of 8351 points in Geekbench 4 (that's very fast).
The Plus model will also get a dual-camera at the rear, and Samsung has responded to consumer criticism and moved the fingerprint scanner below the rear camera, rather than to its side.
The core specifications have been outed by a leaked image of retail packaging, giving away the fact the Galaxy S9 will feature:
146.5mm (5.8in, full rectangle)/143.3mm (5.6in, rounded corners) Quad-HD+ SuperAMOLED display
Super Speed Dual Pixel 12Mp OIS (f1.5/f2.4) rear camera
Super Slow-mo
8Mp AF Selfie Camera
Stereo Speakers tuned by AKG
IP68 Water & Dust Resistant
Iris Scanner
64GB Memory/4GB RAM
Wireless charging (pad sold separately)
Earphones tuned by AKG
How much will the Galaxy S9 cost in the UK?
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ were Samsung’s most expensive S-series phones to date at £689 and £779 respectively. Part of this extra cost can be attributed to the new features, but finances following both Brexit and the Note 7 disaster have almost certainly come into play here, too.
