The launch of the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus is coming!

There is little time left until the release of the Korean manufacturer's new flagship models - the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus. In what will they be better than their predecessors?

Appearance

Many people are disappointed by the lack of revolution, as Samsung has decided to refine only a few elements, leaving the appearance almost unchanged. One of the changes is the positioning of the cameras and fingerprint reader - they will not be arranged horizontally, but vertically, which is expected to definitely improve the user experience of the smartphone. As you can see, the Korean giant listens to its customers and improves what didn't work out for it in the previous revolution.

The sizes of the smartphones will be very similar or identical to the previous series, and juxtaposing this with a very similar design, those handling the S8 or S8 Plus will not have to get their hands used to the shape of the device for long.

Cameras

The new generation of the Galaxy series boasts an extremely bright and to the point f/2.4- f/1.5 adjustable aperture on the 12Mpix camera. The larger model will also have a dual camera setup. According to recent leaks, Samsung's new generation of chips will allow video recording at up to 960 frames per second.

The front camera in both cases is a single 8Mpix camera. Interestingly, the iris scanner on the smaller version will be integrated into the camera, while on the S9 Plus the scanner and camera will be separate sections.

Specifications

Samsung, willingly or unwillingly, has followed Apple's path, so expect the Plus version to not only be bigger, but also have better components. We're talking about more RAM (6GB vs. 4GB) and the use of a dual camera on the S9+.

A nod should be given to Samsung for not following the crowd and in its latest model we'll have the standard, normal 3.5mm jack that everyone knows. There's also SD card support, as well as an IP68 dust and waterproof case.

It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S9 has no more secrets from us. We are left to wait for the official presentation, which is expected to take place at this year's MWC in Barcelona on February 25.
