Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil its next flagship smartphone in February. People associated to the matter say, the company plans to release the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ as early as March.
The company launched the previous generation Galaxy S smartphones in March and were made available weeks later.
Based on the pricing of Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+, which is Rs 57,900 and Rs 64,900 respectively, the upcoming flagship are expected to start from Rs 60,000, while the Plus variant can go up to Rs 70,000.
A KGI Security report also claims that Samsung would switch to switch from Synaptics to Egis for the supply of fingerprint sensors. This would increase the overall price of the smartphone by at 4-5 times, meaning the final product can hold a heftier price tag.
As for the specifications, the smartphone is rumoured to boast Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset manufactured using the 10nm manufacturing process. The Galaxy S9 will have 4GB of RAM whereas the S9 + will sport 6GB of RAM.
The S9 will retain the design of the S8 but have completely new innards. It will retain the 5.8-inch Infinity Display panels from the present S8 lineup. However, it will have a completely new processor, new set of cameras and other new features.
Optics wise, the smartphone is expected to borrow the dual camera setup from the Galaxy Note 8, but will be placed vertically. All rumours will be put to rest when the company will announce the devices in February.
