Hurray. Samsung have promised that Galaxy S9 and S9+ will be delivered to the US customers on March 1th4. It seems that the South Korean company is keeping its word; yesterday, those who have pre-ordered their phones have received notifications that their units are being shipped now, which means that they should be receiving them today. This seems to be the case for both locked and unlocked versions of the phones. Those who have not preordered their phones will have to wait until March 18th – possibly longer, depending on demand. ...

A benchmark of a phone codenamed SM-J800FN has just leaked online. Seeing how a device codenamed SM-J805 has already been benchmarked before, this suggest that the new one is some kind of a Plus variant of the already existing Samsung phone, probably Galaxy J8. This conclusion is further proven by what little info on the phone’s specifications does the benchmark hold. We know it will be powered by the Exynos 7870 CPU, have 4GB of RAM instead of J8’s 3GB and an Android 8.0 Oreo operating system, which might receive a bump to 8.1 soon after release.So far that is all the info we ...

The above issue was addressed by DJ Koh, the head of Samsung’s Mobile Division, who has spoken to the reporters during the MWC 2018. Koh’s statement was short; he said that there is indeed a possibility that Samsung will not be calling its next Galaxy S series phone Galaxy S10. He said that, while Samsung will probably save the ”Galaxy” moniker, the company might make away with the S10 part, replacing it with something new. While Koh’s words were rather noncommittal, they do mark the first time ever when Samsung took an official stance on the subject of ...

As I already let you know in the post from earlier today, Galaxy S9 will be an expensive phone. For the $720 to $800 it better deliver! How to put it… these prices are the ones promised for the US; outside the land of freedom and apple pie, S9 series will be even more expensive. Due to various taxation and import issues, S9 series will be up to 30% more expensive in some of the non-US countries. According to this list, which I think does not come from any official source, this is what some of the non-Americans will have to pay for Galaxy S9 and S9+:Galaxy S9:Germany – 849 EUR ...

The wait was long, but now it is finally over. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, this year’s Samsung flagships.

In other words, there will be no surprise; official reveal of the S9 series during the MWC 2018 was little more than ...

Two live pictures of Galaxy S9, rumoured to have been taken in Vietnam, have just surfaced online. They depict a Midnight Black colour variant of the phone. Speaking of looks, S9’s design is awfully similiar to S8’s, one? Hopefully phone’s features will make it so that there is actually a point in buying it. Galaxy S9 is said to offer, among other things, improvements to the camera’s interface, artificial reality emoticons and live translation by Bixby Vision.Samsung Galaxy S9 will be released on March ...
