First Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus renders are out
Samsung's new flagship models are increasingly appearing in the news lately, the reason is the near release of these phones, and we can already see a lot of photo and specifications leaks. It has recently been announced that the Galaxy S9 models will have an iris scanner, and today we can see the renders of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus phones. These renders come from the leaker @OnLeaks, whose leaks have been very accurate lately.
Samsung Galaxy S9
According to the information from the renders, S9 should have dimensions of 147.6 x 68.7 x 8.4 mm which would make it 1.3mm shorter, 0.6mm wider and 0.4mm thinner. S9 model has an almost identical design for its predecessor, except for the fact that the fingerprint sensor is now moved below the main camera. This model also seems to have only one camera as opposed to the Plus model.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus
The S9 Plus model should have dimensions of 157.7 x 73.8 x 8.5mm, which implies that this model should be 1.8mm shorter, 0.4mm wider and 0.4mm narrower than the S8 Plus model. The Plus version should also have a smaller bottom bezel, about 0.1mm. It looks like both models got a 3.5mm audio input, as well as a Bixby button, so you'll be able to run a virtual Samsung assistant in a blink of an eye. These phones are likely to be equipped with the Snapdragon 845 chipset for the US market, as well as previous models, while the rest of the world will see the Exynos chipset.
It was believed that the introduction of these models will take place at CES 2018 in Las Vegas, but all this is likely to fall into the water. Samsung may be displaying its models at CES, but the official launch of the phone will definitely take place at the MWC 2018 in Barcelona.
