Samsung Galaxy S9 Reportedly IN codenamed “Star” Development goes into
It wouldn’t be surprising if Samsung has already started working on the Galaxy S9. Developing a flagship smartphone takes time and when you set high expectations with your products, you need to work extra to ensure that you meet those expectations.
Samsung has raised the bar pretty high with the Galaxy S8 and if history is any indication, the Galaxy S9 is going to be an incremental update, but it will have to have a certain wow factor if Samsung wants to sell millions of units of its expensive flagship smartphone next year as well.
The report also mentions that there’s a larger model of the Galaxy S9 in development as well that’s codenamed “Star 2.” Again, not surprising, we can expect Samsung to continue with the “+” model that it has launched with the Galaxy S8+ this year.
No further details are available right now as it’s too early to speculate about what the Galaxy S9 is going to be. We can be sure to hear more about it just a few months before its due early next year.
The Samsung Galaxy S8 may have only been out for a few weeks but that doesn’t mean Samsung are slowing down. According to a Korean publication, the S9 and S9+ are codenamed “Star” and “Star 2” with development already begun.
This is, according to the source, around 3 to 4 months ahead of schedule so perhaps Samsung could be looking to once again push the boundaries of design and want the extra time to fully test.
It could well be given the source that the codename may change as did with the Galaxy Note 8 but early rumors seem to peg Star as the Galaxy S9 internal designation.
Don’t expect to see the Galaxy S9 leaked any time soon but at least we know the keyword to begin looking out for as far as Samsung development goes to learn what the company has in store for us with the next device.
