The next big marvel in the smartphone industry is the launch of Samsung S9 and S9 Plus. The rumors suggest that the Samsung S9 release date would be somewhere around early next year, perhaps in January 2018. So, the fans may just be a few months away from seeing the next big product by the company.
Samsung Galaxy S9 Specifications as Per Leaks
Many smartphone industry experts believe the Samsung S9 may not necessarily look as shown in the video. Therefore, you may find a different phone from what it seems in the Samsung Galaxy S9 concept. The video suggests the smartphone to have a straight screen. However, we have seen the next evolution on the display of phones like iPhone X. Therefore, the curvy screens of this smartphone are not going to change anytime soon.
