The Samsung Galaxy S9

Monday marked the beginning of the Mobile World Congress 2018, where many companies will show off consumer devices releasing later this year. On the first day of the event, Samsung announced their newest flagship phone - the Samsung Galaxy S9.

The Galaxy S9 closely follows the design of its predecessor, with a thin bezel all around and a screen with curved edges. The biggest external change is the placement of its fingerprint sensor, which now sits directly below the camera, rather than to the right of it as it did on the Galaxy S8. The Galaxy S9 retains the features of the Galaxy S8. It is still water resistant, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack, and is water resistant.

There have also been some small additions and improvements to the phone. It is the first phone to have a dual-aperture lens, which allows its camera to limit the amount of light entering the sensor to prevent photos from being washed out. It has a Qualcomm 845 Snapdragon SoC, or Samsung's latest Exynos SoC for models outside of North America. It will come with Android 8.0 Oreo and Samsung Experience 9.0.
