Samsung Galaxy S9 is about to launch at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in February 2018 and a new leakage has seemingly exposed the exact launching date as well as pre-order and shipping dates. Samsung's next successful series after the Galaxy S8 is widely expected to feature two models, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The upcoming Samsung smartphones will compete against Apple's flagship iPhone X.

Earlier at a press conference at CES 2018, Samsung's Mobile Communications Business President DJ Koh had declared that the company's first smartphone of the year 2018 will be unveiled at MWC, which is scheduled for February 26 to March 1. The sale date for Samsung Galaxy S9 series will be announced by a ZDNet report at the event itself.

Remotely a South Korean news outlet, The Bell, had stated that Samsung is planning to host the launching event for the Galaxy S9 on February 26. The Bell's report also pointed out that unlike the Galaxy S8 launch that took place in March 2017, the smartphone maker is looking for an earlier schedule this time due to the rapid growth of the iPhone X.

In the meantime, rumors and leaks have unhide many of the details related to their specifications and features.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is rumoured to sport a single rear camera setup, while the Galaxy S9+ might get a dual camera module. A 512GB variant of the Galaxy S9+ is also predicted to be announced at the launch.
