Samsung Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ Launch Set for February 25 Ahead of MWC 2018

S9 teaser.....

  • The invite has a big '9' to denote the Galaxy S9 series
  • The invite also talks about upgraded camera technology
  • The event is at 10:30pm IST on February 25

Samsung Galaxy S9 will be launched at the Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2018 event at 12pm ET (10:30pm IST) on February 25, ahead of Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 next month. The South Korean giant on Wednesday released the invitation for the event where the Galaxy S9+ is also expected to make its appearance. The invite teases the appearance of upgraded camera technology on the Galaxy S9.
As you can see, the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 is apparent from the '9' mentioned on the invite. "If a picture is worth a thousand words, the latest member of the Galaxy family has a lot to say. On February 25, Samsung Electronics will showcase the next generation of Galaxy devices that reimagines the camera and redefines the way you share your moments." writes the company, alongside the invite.
Samsung is planning to incorporate a significantly upgraded camera on the upcoming phones. Previous rumours have pointed towards the new ISOCELL module that Samsung launched back in October last year. This technology uses Samsung's Tetracell technology to enhance low light images, offering an upgrade to Dual Pixel. Additionally, there is a Smart WDR feature that enables the sensor to capture multiple exposures in one shot.
Apart from ISOCELL, rumours have also hinted towards an f/1.5 aperture lens on the rear camera setup of the phones. The phones are expected to have a variable aperture of f/1.5 to f/2.4 giving the sensor DSLR-like capabilities. The Galaxy S9+ is touted to sport a dual lens setup while the Galaxy S9 might have a single lens on the back.
Separately, a recent leak of a Samsung Galaxy S9 retail box tipped the smartphone will have 'Super Speed' camera technology, in the form of a Super Speed-backed Dual Pixel 12-megapixel rear camera sensor, apart from a 'Super Slow-mo' mode and optical image stabilisation (OIS). The box also showed the presence of an 8-megapixel AF selfie camera on the front, and box corroborates the two different aperture sizes - f/1.5 and f/2.4. The Galaxy S9 box also showed the presence of AKG-tuned stereo speakers as well as AKG-tuned earphones. Finally, the box listed a 5.8-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED display with rounded corners.
Back in December, Geekbench listings had revealed that the Galaxy S9 duo might be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor. The global versions of the new Galaxy S9 models can be expected to have to run on Samsung's Exynos 9810 SoC that was unveiled earlier this monthwith artificial intelligence (AI) features and better face recognition capabilities.
Finally, the Galaxy S9+ may also arrivewith a 512GB storage option in a special variant meant for limited markets. The Galaxy S9 is said to have 4GB RAM while the Galaxy S9+ is said to have 6GB of RAM, with 64GB and 128GB as the standard storage option.

Wannabe cars of India; From Maruti Vitara Brezza to Jeep Compass, to Bolero-Pajero & more

The Indian car market is full of modified cars. While some of them are modified with elegance and really look unique, many others are modified to look like various other cars. We bring you five such modified cars. Maruti Vitara Brezza – Jeep Compass The Maruti Vitara Brezza is the largest selling utility vehicle in India. The sub 4-meter compact SUV has a lot of buyers and many of them have modified the car to look like Land Rovers. After the launch of Jeep Compass in the Indian market, many Vitara Brezza owners have swapped the front grille of the Brezza with the iconic 7-slat grille of the Jeep. It sure looks good and different but too wannabe, we think. Mahindra Bolero – Mitsubishi Pajero The Mahindra Bolero used to be the top-selling UV in the Indian market before the arrival of the Maruti Brezza. The rugged SUV is quite popular in Tier II and Tier III cities of India. The Mitsubishi Pajero too has quite a fan following in India. The Pajero SFX became extr...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to  ZDNet  at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...
