Leaked Samsung Galaxy S9 retail box unveils specs

12 January 2018
The alleged box promises stereo speakers and a 12 MP camera with variable aperture - f/1.5 to f/2.4.

Sort by:

2018 and still 4gb ram. 2/3 of the ram will be busy with the bloatware, that Samsung still haven't removed. Still 90+ bloatware on s8 and note8.

    Mobilemaster, 12 Jan 2018I know, but Samsung sensors are good, and they HAVE a 24 MP... moreOh I forgot that one. It seems samsung choose the 12MP instead. IDK Why thou, the 24MP has smaller pixel and no mention of Dual Pixel tech. The "Tetracell" in 24MP sounds like binning that reduce the pic resolution, Kinda defeat the purpose of the higher resolution CMIIW.

      Anonymous, 12 Jan 2018Ah the good old trusty edge player and ss methods..... Its... moreI know. I've owned a S8, and moved to note 8 (worst experience! phone is perfect but too dang large for me!) and First thing I do is installing edge player!

          I think it's worth upgrading my S7edge to S9/S9+

                    Just 4 gigs of RAM and 64 gigs of storage? Well, if not for the obvious chipset difference, that setup looks similar to many midrangers.

                      Mobilemaster, 12 Jan 2018Hm. Not seems to be a big update from the S8. I believe thi... moreRemember Megapixel doesnt mean anything. You have to consider the sensor size, focal length, and optimization. Some phones have big MP but in turn they have bad lowlight photos due to higher noise compared to low MP camera.

                        Hm. Not seems to be a big update from the S8. I believe this should use that 24 MP camera sensor, and it should have a 3500 mAh battery at least. If the specs are almost the same it sounds bad to me.

                          Samsung needs to put at least 6GB RAM on this flagship one. 4GB RAM doesn't look more relevant in 2018 flagships while last year in 2017 most brands started at 6GB RAM on their flagship, even their Note8. If someone who looks on better user experience, I think Note8 is better than this one.

                            So glad I am not a fan of any brand whatsoever. When I read all these biased comments, some praising this phone and Sammy, some bashing it and Sammy, I don't even understand why people even state their opinion knowing they are fans of something, thus they are biased and don't see things objectively.

                            Simply put, this phone's front design is a result of form over function. The curved edges just look 'cool' and that's all. However, this makes the phone harder to use than one with a flat screen.
                            The back of the phone is nothing more than bland and one can say it's even downright unappealing. The rectangular shapes surrounding the camera, fp sensor, and the flash look like they were just applied there with no regards to function, design and aesthetics.

                            In terms of hardware... nothing is new there, really. And nothing that can distinguish this device from the crowds. (except the screen's form and shape - just as the iPhone X stands out from the crowds with its notch and full-body display)
