Leak

A leaked image reportedly showing finished versions of the S9 (and its larger version, the S9+) have shown up on social media.

The image popped up on the Chinese network Weibo and picked up by androidanme.com But the site warns 'it looks genuine enough, but you should take it with a grain of salt for now.'

The body

If we can believe the pictures, the upcoming device will have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner just underneath the dual lens camera, correcting an issue in the current models that has frustrated many users.

The S8 currently has a iris-scanner, but rumors suggest that this is getting replaced by facial recognition as we have seen on newer apple devices.

Camera

There are rumors that the S9 is getting a camera capable of shooting incredibly good slow motion video’s
According to Tech Radar, 'industry sources' claim Samsung is working on a rear camera that can shoot at 1,000 frames per second. If this rumor is true, the camera would be better than anything on the market yet

Launch Date

A launch date for the Galaxy S9 is not revealed yet, but rumours are suggesting that the S9 could be unveiled at CES or at the Mobile World Congress, Which is in Barcelona from 26 February till 1 March 2018.
The prise is still unknown, but based on the S8, it is likely costing between $916 to $1,036
