Photos of Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ Appear
Evan Blass, known for his ability to get Smartphone details out before any embargo holds up his reputation, he placed photos online from the front of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the S9+.
Blass mentions the large model gets 6GB ram and 128GB storage space, where the small S9 is equipped with 4GB ram and 64GB flash storage. On his Twitter account @evleaks he shows the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9 +, he also mentions that the phone in the US and China is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845-soc. The rest of us will get an Exynos 9810-soc fitted smartphone.
It was earlier reported that the phone will get a better camera, as well as the ability for recording 480fps slow-motion video. Next, to motion-detected, “super slow-mo” video capture (rapid movement triggers 480fps recording at 720p), the devices are said to feature variable aperture on their primary 12-megapixel cameras. It’s a mechanical adjustment that switches between f/2.4 and smallest-in-class f/1.5.
The phone should be announced February the 26th and likely availability March 16, which was very subtle and carefully included in the phone photos.

I still have a note 2, a souped up s3, and I updated apps and what not about 6 months ago and found it painfully slow. A couple friends had the s3 and the 1gb ram was a major pain in the arse
Custom roms will help no doubt with old phones, the amount of garbage on my note 3 i've uninstalled by root or disabled is ridiculous
I have a custom ROM on my S3. Lineage, a continuation of Cyanogenmod. I think I installed Cyanogenmod pretty quickly when I got this phone as the original S3 ROM was full of garbage as you stated
Everything works, but it's getting a little slow
You'll get very obvious benefits upgrading that to a last generation or newer phone. Screens are much larger, higher resolution, higher quality in general. The storage is significantly faster, and the phones themselves are fast enough to feel instant in comparison to the S3's generation.
That's why I'm content with the SD 820 phone I have. It does things pretty much instantly and has the brute force for anything so I don't feel like I'll really feel much difference upgrading. But compared to the S3's generation extremely obvious how much faster it is.
yeah, but the prices are monstrous. I don't want a bigger screen nor do I care about the resolution. Sometimes storage was an issue, but I rarely need my phone to transfer large sizes. The things I do, I'm no limited with ~10Mbs transfer speeds(this is USB2.0).
Even my battery lasts me over a day as I only switch GPS/wifi/data on when I need it. I'm always very conscious about not wasting battery and it has served me well with this phone. Even now... almost 5 years later my 2100mAh battery has no issues
A new phone will be a night and day difference for sure, but it's really not necessary nor worth the money I think. I'll keep my phone until it's in pieces XD
