Here’s our first clear look at the Samsung Galaxy S9

VentureBeat

VentureBeat's Evan Blass is back with another phone leak. This time it's the Samsung Galaxy S9, which has just had its launch event announced for February 25.

As expected, this year's iteration looks a lot like the Galaxy S8. Samsung did a major redesign last year, so we were expecting a phone that more or less looks the same. It's still a phone that is nearly all-screen with round corners, a battery of sensors at the top for Iris scanning, and a Bixby button for launching Samsung's horrible voice assistant. The main addition for 2018 is a new camera, which is expected to have a variable aperture.
