Report claims Samsung’s ‘unlikely’ to launch Galaxy S9 and S9+ at CES

Samsung Galaxy S8

A few weeks ago rumours have surfaced that Samsung plans to unveil Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ at CES 2018 in January. But a recent report by The Korea Herald claims Samsung shut down this idea saying, “It is unlikely.” The company supposedly plans to stick with its tradition of releasing its next flagship at Mobile World Congress happening by the end of February. At CES, Samsung will reportedly be launching new Galaxy A devices instead including the Galaxy A5 (2018), Galaxy A7 (2018), and Galaxy A8+ (2018).

Some of the rumoured specs of the two devices include running on Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, and possible 512GB onboard storage courtesy of Samsung’s newly unveiled eUFS  solution (on top of microSD card support). As expected, these might run on Android Oreo with a new version of TouchWiz UX skinned. Some of the recent leaks for the Galaxy S9 suggest dual camera setups as well. But what might not make an appearance would be the in-display fingerprint sensor as the company reportedly hasn’t worked out the technical issues with this yet.

Samsung rumoured to be teasing Samsung Galaxy S9 models at CES 2018

Review: Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+

With the current generation Samsung Galaxy out and about for months already, people are looking towards the next best thing. Rumours about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 have been circling for a while. Now, a new report from VentureBeat gives away more details and a possible earlier announcement from the South Korean company. The S9 will supposedly be iterative in terms of design the smaller model (SM-G960) is codenamed Star 1 and will have the same 5.8-inch curved AMOLED display, while the S9+ (SM-G965) is codenamed Star 2 and will feature a 6.2-inch screen. It’ll supposedly run on a Snapdragon 845 processor with a 10-nanometer chip. It’s said the phone will make “their first public appearance” at CES but will have a separate launch in March.

Some of the other new features reportedly coming to the device is that the dual-camera setup similar to the Note8 will only be available on the S9+, while the S9 will stick to the single camera setup. And finally the fingerprint sensor will reportedly be moved to the bottom of the camera sensor instead of beside it. RAM will be 4GB on the S9 versus 6GB on the S9+. Both will have 64GB internal storage that’s expandable via microSD and will supposedly retain the 3.5mm audio jack. There will also be AKG stereo speakers and a new DeX docking station supposedly in the works where the S9 will serve as a touchpad or virtual keyboard.
