Built-in memory in Samsung S9. What processor will be in the new S9

Youtube

Not long ago, the eighth generation flagship appeared on store shelves, but now the Internet is replete with rumors about Samsung Galaxy S9, according to some information the new product is at the production stage.

We've put together a round-up of rumors and news that you didn't know about until now. You'll find the information below, along with everything we know about the older Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

We've also compiled a list of offerings that we hope Samsung includes in its next smartphone, because the S8 wasn't exactly perfect.

In addition to the blank screen and dual camera, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will receive full support for virtual reality devices.

The gadget will be equipped with 8 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB internal memory with microSD support, the most advanced Exynos 9 processor and the advanced Android 8.0 operating system

LTE modem for Exynos 9 - speed of 2 Gbps.

In July 2017, Samsung announced developed LTE modems for the next generation of its mobile processors Exynos, which support six operator aggregations or 6CA.

While Samsung's current Exynos 9 Series (8895) modem supports 5CA and made the S8 the first gigabit speed mobile phone, Samsung will add another bandwidth to the S9 to generate 2Gbps amplification.

Hypothetically, the updated modem will allow the new smartphone to download an entire HD movie within 10 seconds. In addition, buffering during video calls and live broadcasts is hypothetically eliminated.

Ready for 5G networks

Other advantages of the new modem include more stable data transmission, 4X4 Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output and the ability to aggregate licensed and unlicensed network spectrum from network media.

This feature will not only make the new device ready for 5G networks, but will also make the Galaxy S9 the fastest smartphone on the market.

Ports and Connections

While Samsung introduced USB-C rather than Micro-USB for the Galaxy S8, the company didn't follow Apple's lead by leaving the 3.5mm headphone jack to rely on wireless or USB-C audio.

There is a danger that this time the new product will lose this connector, although nothing has been officially confirmed yet.

Price and release date in Russia

There is no official information about the date of the Galaxy S9 going on sale yet, but based on Samsung’s presentations in the past, we can confidently say that the announcement next smartphone will take place in March-April 2018.

We don't know anything about when the Samsung Galaxy S9 will be announced yet, so we'll just have to move on from what Samsung has done in the past.

There is an assumption that the company will announce a new model in February 2018, at the international exhibition Mobile World Congress 2018.

As for the price of the Samsung Galaxy S9, undoubtedly the model will cost quite a lot, but not much more expensive than its predecessor, so the younger model S8 started at $720, the Plus version at $920, which in Russia is 43,000 rubles and 55,000 rubles, respectively.

Samsung Galaxy S9: what we want to see

Samsung had to increase the price of the Galaxy S8, making it one of the most expensive flagship phones on the market.

If you buy it as part of a two-year contract in South Korea, it's not that expensive, but many would like to see Samsung lower the price of the next-gen phone if at all possible.

Display

Currently, little is known about the Samsung Galaxy S9, but some sources claim that the company has already started working on the launch of its next flagship phone.

Samsung has been working on edge-to-edge displays for the Galaxy S9 since late March 2017, which is about 6 months earlier than usual. Presumably the South Koreans are developing two panels with diagonals of 6.2 inches for the Plus version, and 5.8 for the younger model.

There were rumors that the company was planning to launch a smartphone with a foldable display a few years ago, but a Samsung executive told the media that the company does not plan to launch a fully foldable phone until 2019, but plans could change in the coming months.

Building the first phone with a truly foldable display and selling it in 2018 is a major boost for a South Korean company that could change the way we use smartphones forever.

Galaxy S9 with 4-inch display

There are opinions that Samsung also intends to release a third version of the Galaxy S9 with a 4-inch diagonal, borrowing this idea from Apple with their successful iPhone SE.

Under-screen fingerprint sensor

It's clear that Samsung wanted to move the fingerprint sensor under the screen for the Galaxy S8, but it didn't have enough time to get the module to work correctly.

Instead of uh that Samsung included an under-display touch-sensitive home button, which is useful, but we wish the company would go all out and include an under-display fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S9.

Dual lens camera

Given that the camera improvements on the Galaxy S8 seem rather limited, it would be great if Samsung pushed the phone's camera technology to include a dual-lens module on the Galaxy S9.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 goes on sale in April 2017 and is still a very good smartphone (if not the best on the market!). Everything indicates that the “ninth” in the Galaxy family will appear faster than expected. What's new in Samsung's next flagship? The industry was the first to announce the accelerated release of the Galaxy S9 Android blog Headlines, which stated that the premiere of the nine will take place at the end of January 2018, and it will hit stores in mid-February. The authors' anonymous source also reports that production of the Galaxy S8 successor began earlier iPhone launch 12-th of September. Samsung Galaxy S9 will be the first smartphone equipped with fingerprint scanning technology directly from the screen. The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are reportedly being internally codenamed “Star” and “Star 2.” As in previous version, we expect there to be two versions of the S9: a standard 5.8-inch model and Plus models with a slightly larger 6.2-inch screen. Both models will have curved edges on both sides and an Infinity display, but the new one will have fingerprint scanning technology directly on the screen.

Samsung Galaxy S9: release date?

Expected release date: February/March 2018 - announcement, April 2018 on sale Over the past few years, Samsung's release schedule for new products has become a bit more complicated, with the announcement Galaxy Note 5 in August 2015, and Note 7 in August 2016, both of which are quite far from IFA. Then the Galaxy S8 and S8+ were announced in March 2017 - some time after the February MWC. The smartphones finally hit the market at the end of April. Early announcement Note smartphones has put Samsung slightly ahead of key rival Apple with its September conference where the iPhone is usually unveiled. While Samsung hasn't officially confirmed it, we believe that another S series launch this year was due to exploding batteries on Note devices and strategic planning to run solely on the Snapdragon 835 chip. Since Samsung helped Qualcomm develop the Snapdragon 835, it was agreed that no other smartphone with this processor will be announced and go on sale before the Galaxy S8. As a result, arch-rival LG was forced to use the Snapdragon 821 in its G6, while HTC and Sony delayed their U11 and Xperia XZ Premium releases to a later date. This strategy led to additional hype around the S8 and receiving Samsung good results by sales in 2017. We believe that in 2018 we will see similar actions, that is, the announcement of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ in March, and deliveries to stores in April. The icing on the cake of these speculations is that Qualcomm has already agreed with Samsung to jointly develop the Snapdragon 845. So, it could be that 2018 Samsung will once again have an exclusive processor for its latest flagship. Since MWC will be held from February 26, 2018 to March 1, 2018, Samsung Galaxy S9 will be officially announced on Sunday, February 25, 2018.

Samsung Galaxy S9 - what kind of screen will it be?

We'll probably have to deal with the evolution of the displays we've seen this year. Information available on the Internet resembles new technology - it will AMOLED screen Sunflower. What will his innovations be? Let's hope, at the very least, that Samsung fixes the screen redness issue that has plagued smartphones this year. On this moment there is no more information on this issue. The screen on the Galaxy S9 will be expected to have thin bezels, perhaps even thinner than the current flagship. The aspect ratio should not change and will remain 18:9 (actually 18.5:9). The screen area in the Galaxy Note 8 exceeds 84%, so the Galaxy S9, of course, will not be worse. The Samsung Galaxy S9 is expected to have a 2960x1440, 570ppi, Super AMOLED "Infinity" panel, while the Galaxy S9+ has a 529ppi panel. Given that Samsung caps the Galaxy S8's screen resolution at Full-HD+ (2220x1080) by default, I don't think it will bump up the resolution to 4K. In 2016, Samsung patented a glass coating technology that helps water bounce off the screen, making it much easier to use smartphones in the rain. It can be used in the Galaxy S9, which will likely remain waterproof (the Galaxy S8 is IP68 certified, meaning it can be submerged up to 1.5m for 30 minutes).

Samsung Galaxy S9: price

Galaxy S8 and S8+ are the most expensive phones in Samsung S-series, the minimum official cost of which today is 49,990 rubles and 54,990 rubles, respectively. But in our opinion, the price additionally included covering the costs of a catastrophe associated with Note 7 batteries and less favorable economic and political events in the world. Until this year, Samsung has always kept the price of the S line in line with other competing flagships. And we would be very surprised if the price of the Samsung S9 were much higher or lower than current ones.

What processor will be in the new S9?

According to Aju Business Daily, Samsung has agreed with Qualcomm to develop the Snapdragon 845, which could become the main chip for the Galaxy S9 in 2018. Aju Business Daily also talks about negotiations with TSMC in Taiwan, which is responsible for the Apple A11, another chip made using 10 nm technology. The 10nm Snapdragon 835 technology has helped Qualcomm improve performance by 27% and reduce power consumption by 40% compared to previous 14nm chips. The upcoming Snapdragon 845 will supposedly be developed on 7nm technology, so it will be faster and more efficient than ever. It is worth noting that the Snapdragon 845 has not yet been officially announced, although there is evidence that Qualcomm is actively working on it and even has working copies. As with the Samsung Glaxy S8 and S8+, the Koreans will likely take most of the first batch of Snapdragon 845, which is expected to be officially announced by the end of 2017. I wonder if this will affect the launch date of LG, Sony or Huawei flagships? Despite the ability to use the Galaxy S8 and S8+ Snapdragon 835, they are sold in Russia with Samsung’s proprietary Exynos 8895. Maybe, Galaxy versions The S9 and S9+ for Russia will come with an 8nm Exynos processor, probably the 9810.

What kind of camera will the Galaxy S9 have?

It's clear that Samsung is going to evolve. Galaxy S8 has an excellent matrix, one of the best on the market. It is logical to assume that since the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has a dual camera, we should expect the same in the S9. Currently, we do not yet know what exactly the functions of the second camera will be, but there are three options. It will be a camera with a telephoto lens, a monochrome matrix or a wide-angle camera like the LG G6. Most likely, I think it will be the first option, because its largest competitor, a company from Cupertino, offered a zoom function in last year’s iPhone 7 Plus. Also, rumors have recently appeared that the second camera is designed to record slow-mo video in Full HD resolution at speeds of up to 1000 frames per second.

Samsung Galaxy S9: new features and specifications

Samsung began work on the Galaxy S9 in late March 2017, which is already six months ahead of schedule compared to what it was with the Galaxy S8 and S8+ last year. This means more time on quality control, more time to create new features and, hopefully, more satisfied customers. Interestingly, in July 2017, Geekbench saw earlier version supposed Galaxy S9. The SM-G9650 has been described as a smartphone powered by a quad-core Snapdragon 845 processor with clock frequency 1.78 GHz and only 4 GB of RAM. In the RenderScript test, the smartphone earned 7371 points, which is lower than the Galaxy S8. Most likely this does not correspond to reality.

In order to increase the accuracy of the scanner and expand the range of conditions for its operation, the manufacturer will equip the Galaxy S9 and S9 with not a two-megapixel, but a three-megapixel camera with increased aperture, The Korea Herald reports. Thanks to this, the scanner will be able to identify users even if their eyes are hidden behind ultra-dark glasses or a mask.

In the Samsung Galaxy S8, the company's current flagship, the fingerprint scanner is located, according to some users, not in the best way. It is located on the side of the camera, which is why its lens often gets dirty.

Synaptics' Clear ID sensor offers the same type of authentication as a traditional fingerprint scanner and can process various situations, recognizing wet, dry and cold fingers. It also provides security with AES encryption and various functions authentication that smartphone manufacturers will be able to choose when ordering components.

The Clear ID sensor responds perfectly to touches from frozen or wet fingers when the smartphone is in your hands, lying on a table or in a car holder. Operation occurs at any angle, and since the sensor itself is hidden under protective glass screen, it is reliably protected from scratches and other damage.

The latest rumor suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 will receive a new generation of scanner with increased resolution, which will increase the recognition speed and reduce the time required for successful scanning. It is expected that the new items will be equipped with a dedicated 3 MP sensor versus the 2 MP module of the Galaxy S8. It is stated that the scanner will be able to better identify the owner in different operating scenarios (dark or too bright external lighting, wearing glasses or moving eyes). IN addition Samsung has developed a new software to ensure fast and accurate operation of the iris scanner. In general, scanning speed is expected to be less than one 1 second. Let me remind you that Samsung presentation Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 will be held at MWC 2018 in February next year.

I think few people had any doubts that Samsung would equip its new Galaxy flagships S9 and Galaxy S9 with iris scanner. Attempt to adapt this method identification on mobile devices has been undertaken for several years, but it has not received much widespread adoption. But the South Korean giant believes in this biometric technology and is its headliner.

IN Samsung Galaxy S9 such a problem should no longer exist and current Galaxy photos S9 has already pleased many fans with a smart solution. Cleaning the camera especially caused a lot of difficulties for users in the summer, when device owners “groped” for the fingerprint scanner with dusty and sweaty fingers. The newest model has a fingerprint scanner located directly under the camera module. As a result, users almost always first find the camera by touch, which is why it gets incredibly dirty and has to be cleaned regularly. The 5.8-inch model will receive 4 GB of RAM and a “regular” main camera, while the 6.2-inch version will have 6 GB of RAM and a dual camera module.

Also, a new rumor has appeared on the network that the Galaxy S9 and S9 will be equipped with new retinal scanners with a resolution of 3 megapixels (currently 2 megapixels). Insiders claim that this will seriously increase recognition speed and reduce the time required for a successful scan.

Many assume that the first devices with a fingerprint sensor built into the display will be the future flagships Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9, which are expected to be released in the first quarter of 2018.

The iris scanner will become the priority method for unlocking the Galaxy S9 and S9. This follows from a new report from the authoritative South Korean publication The Korea Herald. According to published data, Samsung Electronics is working on a new generation of iris scanning technology with a more sensitive and long-range sensor.

This touch technology may end up on all flagship smartphones in 2018, but given Synaptics' hints, we shouldn't be surprised if the Samsung Galaxy S9 is one of the first. And even if it’s not the Galaxy S9, in any case the way will be open for a healthy alternative to Face ID.

Samsung Galaxy s9 smartphone release date. Everything that is known.

Finally, it recently became known that Samsung has submitted an application to the regulator to register the Galaxy S9 (SM-G9608) with two SIM cards. Given the recent announcement of Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, which will most likely be installed in the Galaxy S9, the smartphone will receive Dual VoVTE support for both SIM cards.

In addition, it is reported that Samsung will increase the response speed of the iris scanner, reducing the time for identifying users to tenths of a second. Thus, the manufacturer will increase the attractiveness of this unlocking method, perhaps making it even more preferable than a fingerprint scanner.

The screenshots demonstrating the process of measuring heart rate show that the sensor and camera flash, as before, will be located on the right, and the fingerprint scanner will be below it.

On this moment we can safely say: in the next generation of flagship phones from the South Korean company, this omission will be eliminated. Using the phone's instruction manual, available on the Samsung website, we found out some specifications, which may also mean that the phone will be officially announced in the first month of 2018. Cleaning the camera was especially difficult for users in the summer, when device owners had dusty and sweaty fingers. “groped” the fingerprint scanner. As a result, users almost always first find the camera by touch, which is why it gets incredibly dirty and has to be cleaned regularly. The creators believe that this will eliminate the main defect of the previous model.

Samsung Galaxy s9 list detailed characteristics. Latest information as of December 12, 2017

The source claims that in order to use Quick Charge 4.0 technology, that is, the most advanced in the industry, Samsung will have to make large financial contributions to Qualcomm, so it will refuse to support it in its best mobile devices - Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9. Instead, their owners will be able to use the proprietary fast charging standard Adaptive Fast Charge, which is noticeably inferior in speed and requires special power adapters.

As the GSMArena portal, although an under-screen scanner has been developed by Samsung since October 2016, the new generation of flagships will receive a traditional scanner, no longer located on the side of the camera, but under it. This became known thanks to screenshots from Samsung apps Health.

Most manufacturers moved it to the back of the case, and Apple even came up with a replacement in view of facial recognition. Synaptics today announced that it has managed to integrate a fingerprint scanner called Clear ID FS9500 into the display. It is also reported that the fingerprint scanner has already been launched into mass production and will be used in smartphones from the world's most popular manufacturers.

When you imagine the most expensive and most advanced smartphone from Samsung, you immediately see a mobile device that supports all the latest technologies and standards. This is explained by the fact that it always uses the most advanced technical equipment and technological solutions, but in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S9, everything will not be so good.

As you know, the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone will be released in two regional versions, one of which will receive a proprietary Exynos processor, and the other - Snapdragon. Because the we're talking about O mobile device top level, then he should be amazing in absolutely everything, but in reality this will not happen. As it became known today from a reliable and reliable source, the charging speed of the new Samsung flagship will disappoint absolutely all buyers, since it will be significantly lower than that in other top-level mobile devices.

Samsung Galaxy s9 possible innovations in the smartphone. Detailed data as of December 12, 2017

We previously wrote that Samsung, according to rumors, may present the Galaxy S9 and S9 in January at CES. However, then a representative of the South Korean company said in an interview with The Korea Herald that such an early announcement of the devices is unlikely.

Thanks to this innovation, the scanner will work even if the owner of the device wears glasses, as well as in any lighting. Samsung should also optimize the system to improve security and speed up operation.

We have already written that Samsung has patented a similar system, in addition, Qualcomm announced the development of such a sensor. However, Synaptics says its scanner is already in mass production for a "top smartphone brand." It’s not difficult to guess what brand this is. In its press release, the company writes about a “frameless OLED infinity display.” Screens in flagship phones are called exactly the same. Samsung devices Galaxy S8, S8 and Note 8.

Synaptics claims that the Clear ID fingerprint scanner is twice as fast as users' facial recognition systems, and the user only needs to touch the disabled smartphone screen once to unlock it.

On the Internet, people began to actively discuss the news that the Samsung company had listened to the suffering of users and in the Samsung S9 phone the fingerprint scanner would be moved to a great distance from the camera. It lies in the extremely inconvenient location of the fingerprint scanner. Today it became known that the next generation of the phone this problem will be eliminated.

The result is speed Galaxy charging The S9 will disappoint all buyers, least of all fans, since other top-level mobile devices produced by other companies will fully support it. Owners South Korean news you will have to use only specialized power adapters with support for Adaptive Fast Charge, and all because of your desire Samsung manuals earn as much money as possible.

New information appears about them every day. The latest rumors say that the Galaxy S9 and S9 will be equipped with an iris scanner with increased resolution, which will improve the recognition speed. Let us remind you that biometric sensor The Galaxy S8, S8 and Note 8 were equipped with a 2 MP scanner. Today information appeared that the new product will receive a 3-megapixel module for scanning.

Qualcomm has implemented support for Quick Charge 4.0 fast charging in the flagship Snapdragon 845 processor, which will be used in the Galaxy S9 for the US and Chinese markets. It can charge a 3300 mAh battery in less than one hour, which is indecently fast. In fact, today this is the fastest and safest way to charge the battery, but this technology will not be used in the new South Korean flagship.

Samsung Galaxy s9 video review. All the latest information.

Specifications, release date, price, video and photos of the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone are of interest not only ordinary users, but also travelers of 2018. After the release of the previous model, it showed that in a smartphone it is not so much the number of pixels in the camera that is important, but rather its efficiency, this also applies to other parameters. In addition, Samsung Galaxy S9 will reliably protect information and functionality from exposure environment, and at the same time will become a stylish modern flagship of 2018.

At the end of this article, news about the Samsung Galaxy S9 will traditionally be published as it becomes available.. Article.

You can BUY a Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone in the online store "OZONE" .

At the end of the article we will introduce you to everything model range Samsung Galaxy from S to S8 ( specifications and photo). In the meantime, at the beginning, before the characteristics of the S9, we traditionally present the legend of the origin of the flagship line Samsung smartphones Galaxy.

How the Legend was born

Initially, no one assumed that the Samsung smartphone was from Galaxy lines with a simple prefix S it becomes the best smartphone year according to EISA, which predetermined the popularity of the gadget (EISA is an abbreviation for European Imaging and Sound Association). Although he was really good, this was clearly not enough for a legend to arise. The legend needed more: a name, a halo and a successful continuation. And if the continuation is unsuccessful, then at a minimum, a skillful PR move is needed.

The enemy is also no less important. Yes, yes, if the legend does not have an enemy, adversary, adversary, or at least a serious opponent, then the project to create a legend is doomed to failure, since there will be no intrigue. As you probably already understood, we are talking about iconic electronics from Cupertino - devices Apple. The only thing Samsung does not yet have in this regard is a legendary personality, an analogue of Steve Jobs.

So, to create a legend, there is everything that is required, including funding. Battered, but proud (what can I say - a really great company) Nokia crawls off to Finland to lick its wounds, and Samsung comes out on top in the world in terms of the number of fans and sales of its “smart” devices. mobile phones. At the same time, the Koreans do not forget to regularly cross swords in various courts with the unattainable American “stub,” as Apple is sometimes called (may the adherents of the “half-apple” forgive us).

So, the legend is created. Long live !

Specifications Samsung Galaxy S9

This is just the initial version of the concept from early 2017:

Samsung Galaxy S9 design

You can expect a non-trivial approach from the Samsung Galaxy S9. For example, the product will be flexible, semi-flexible or foldable. The folding version is very controversial because it looks clumsy and outdated (like flip phones), but flexible smartphones are already a reality. Today there are already flexible batteries and screens - why not create a model that is truly pliable, which will make it both more convenient and secure?

Samsung Galaxy S9 display

As before, there are likely to be two display options and body sizes - for those who like compact but comfortable devices, and for those who prefer phablet-type devices that can combine convenience large screens tablets and pocket-sized smartphones.

It is likely that the display in the Galaxy S9 will be between 5.5 and 6 inches, and the Galaxy S9+ will be between 6 and 7 inches. It makes no sense to install a resolution higher than what was in the Galaxy S8 - the human eye will still not be able to distinguish a larger number of pixels.

Rather, efforts should be directed towards other characteristics - color scheme, playback speed, playback optimization, flexibility, etc. I would really like to see a new charging technology in the new product. solar panels, the elements of which are built into the display, such technology has already been created by Kyocera.

Camera Samsung Galaxy S9

In the camera of the future Samsung Galaxy S9, the main thing is the lens and other parameters, and not the pixels. Automate the processes of recognizing environmental conditions, make excellent optical image stabilization, increase speed, number of frames, shooting modes, improve night photography, etc. - Here the main task engineers. And let the number of pixels remain at the same level - 8 MP and 12 MP, video and photos of the Samsung Galaxy S9 will not suffer from this.

Battery

According to the author of the www.site, new technologies will be used as early as 2018, since lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries already look like an anachronism. For example, a battery can be graphene, bend, charge in a few seconds and have a thickness of less than a millimeter.

Such technologies have already been created and continue to be improved in institutions Far East, USA and Australia. The only question is the time it will take from the appearance of working prototypes to commercial implementation.

Processor, RAM and ROM Galaxy S9

Modern processors are still ahead of the curve in application development. Therefore, it is more important to optimize existing technologies than to install unnecessary 20-core chips. It is likely that a SoC will appear that operates according to the 7 nm process standards. By the way, such technology is already being developed at Samsung and it is expected that the first microprocessors based on this technology will appear at the beginning of 2018. Just in time for the announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S9 – isn’t it?

Here's the quote:

According to Dr. Heo Kuk, head of Samsung's semiconductor division, the company plans to become a leader in the industry. To do this, she plans to use new equipment and the most modern technologies, which will ensure its solutions are no less competitive than in the production of single-chip systems at 14 and 10 nm standards.

The start of production of the new single-chip systems early next year means that they should be used in the company's next flagship smartphone, which will presumably be called the Samsung Galaxy S9.

The author of the www.site votes for a 10-core chip, where 4 cores will have a data exchange frequency of up to 2.0 GHz, and 6 cores will have a data exchange frequency of up to 2.5 GHz. The first 4-core cluster will manage processes that do not require large computing power and energy, and the second 6-core cluster will connect when it is necessary, for example, to calculate the color and expression of the eyes of an astronaut who ended up on Alpha Centauri on the day of the Chinese New Year celebration on Earth.

Regarding operational and permanent memory, then the option with 6 GB RAM and 256 GB ROM seems quite real. It’s also time to install a slot for memory cards that support up to 2 TB - the appearance of such flash drives is just around the corner. Thus, the problem of carrying the entire Lenin Library or the entire Library of Congress of the United States in your pocket will be solved. And there are a lot of letters and illustrations, believe me.

Photos of Samsung Galaxy S9

20-year-old student from Riga Veniamin Geskin is a well-known industry insider under the nickname @VenyaGeskin1, who last year was the first to leak drawings and 3D iPhone models X. A few hours ago, @VenyaGeskin1 published an image of a three-dimensional model of the Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone, created on the basis of information available on the Internet. After that he added real photos.

FROM THE EDITOR:

Note that Venya’s account says “Concept Creator | Leaks and Rumors Visualization,” which can be translated as “Creator of concepts. Visualization of leaks and rumors.” Apparently, we are talking about a concept that was created on the basis of an analysis of all kinds of “leaks” that are provoked by the manufacturers themselves to stir up interest among the public. But if the iPhone 10 was so successful that its concept coincided with the original, then there is a chance that the original Galaxy S9 will also coincide with this concept.

Added 06-12-2017
