Samsung is coming up with its unique innovations, Galaxy S9 and S+ which will make their public appearance in the month of January in Las Vegas. The official launch will be carried out in March, as it had done in the case of Galaxy S8 and S 8+.
Are they alike?
Yes, both the two phones are said to be nearly very identical in appearance to their earlier models.
Features of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ :
- 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch curved-edge Super AMOLED “Infinity” displays like their predecessors.
- To employ 10-nanometer fabrication techniques.
- Snapdragon 845 from Qualcomm.
- Besides a bigger screen, the S9+ will reportedly offer more RAM (6GB versus 4GB) and a second rear camera, similar to the Note8.
- Both models pack 64GB of internal storage, supplemented by a microSD slot.
- Both leave the 3.5-millimeter headphone jack intact.
- The addition of the AKG stereo speakers.
- Samsung plans to introduce a backward-compatible DeX docking station that situates the phones flat and makes use of the screens as perhaps a touchpad or an even virtual keyboard attached to an external display.
What is the price scene like?
Judging by S8 and S8+ as both have had drastic price reductions since their day of release, one can expect them to further drop in their prices with the launch of the S9 and S9+ thus making them more attractive to mobile users.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ were expensive at the time of their release costing for a flagship phone: at £679 and £779 respectively. One hopes that S 9 and S9+ will be cheaper, but this possibility appears to be remote.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 be faster than the S8 and S8+?
Since it will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, it will hopefully be faster and more power efficient than the Snapdragon 835 that powers the S8 in the US.
