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.

hmm.. Those bezels look a bit strange, too much like A8 2018 and yet a bit different.

Absolute diminishing returns.
Until I break my note 3, i'm good, then i'm onto a note 4 since it still has an SD and removable battery.

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

Yep... it's hit a point that most people can have what they want from previous generations. I've had a Snapdragon 820 phone since 2016 and I could easily use it to 2020 at this rate if the battery doesn't horribly degrade. And in my case there's very few avenues for actual upgrades since mine has a good DAC/amp, and the only thing I can really switch to which includes such things these days is the LG V series. I guess I'll be waiting for the LG V50-60 in 2-3 generations from now. Maybe I'd upgrade more often if flagships from big names weren't over $1K a piece before taxes. Those prices are ludicrous.
still on a S3
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.

S8/S8+ was the last real jump in design and specs.I'm enjoying it.
It doesn't seem a big jump from it, i will wait for S10+.

$1k flagship phones are fekin ridiculous.
I've not had a contract phone since galaxy s2, and even that was behind the times, got my note 3 from someone on this forum for about £300 (can't remember who, thanks bud)
Curved screen? Why? More difficult to replace. I actually don't use my stylus really, very rare I write on it, few times a year. But the actual app supports finger input and I bet it can't install unless you have a Note phone.
I'm a bit pissed that note 4 ditches usb 3, but then I realised it's been a long time since I used usb 3 on my note 3. A recentish update disabled it unless you manually select it every time you want to use it up til 10 minutes.
At least with my phone, and actually, all others according to the press releases they made. You don't get reduced performance over time, just less battery as you would expect, but then I can just replace the battery.

We did read it was 1080p at 480fps on earlier news, right?

Was gonna go with something like the Pixel 2 after my S7, but with the endless number of problems with it, the S9 might become my next phone
Camera sounds appealing

I am happy with my xiaomi note 4x, 3gb ram snapdraggon 625 4000 mah battery lasts me 2 days with heavy use up to 5 with minimal, more than fast enough for me 1080 p 5,5 inch screen and all that for 150 euros sure the flagships are better phones but not 850 euros better imo

With S6e, I miss one important thing. Ability to remove all trash Samsung pushes. At time they make it artificially obsolete, I'll root it (good bye payments).
I kind of miss time with rooted phone. But either way one can't get most out of the phone.

Hey, download and install Package Disabler Pro for Samsung from google store and you'll be able to disable all bloatware from your phone

Could be that they are again limiting the capabilities of the Exynos model because they want parity between the models.

Those things get more and more optical sensors with every generation.
