SEOUL – South-Korean electronics manufacturer Samsung is going to launch its flagship Galaxy S lineup Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ at MWC 2018 in Barcelona next month.
The Galaxy S9 has a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED screen, while the Galaxy S9+ has a 6.2-inch Super AMOLED screen. They’ll be powered by Snapdragon 845 in the US and China, though the UK will get Samsung’s Exynos 9810.
Evan Blass, the serial smartphone leaker, published photos of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ side by side facing front, and a little later shared the rear component layouts of these upcoming flagships.

Both Galaxy S9 and S9+ will feature motion-detected, super slow-mo video capture (480fps), and will offer variable apertures, as wide as f/1.5, on their primary 12-megapixel cameras.
The secondary camera module on the plus model is a second 12-MP module with a fixed aperture; the fingerprint scanner position has been implemented – it is below the camera(s) rather than alongside them.
And finally, Blass said the main difference between the two devices is that the Galaxy S9+ will get 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage and the Galaxy S9 will get 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
Intelligent scan
The new phones will also feature Intelligent Scan, which combines face and iris scanning to improve accuracy and security even in the low or very bright light.
Moreover, Samsung may implement 3D stickers (moving emojis) and image tagging with geo and weather information.
