Even though the FCC registration does not have any details of the technical data of the devices, the stage in question demonstrates that they are in the final stage of development. Recent rumors indicate that the Galaxy S9 will arrive with the latest generation processors, Snapdragon 845 or Exynos, Android 8.0 and even a new placement for the rear fingerprint sensor. The Plus version should come with a dual rear camera and 6GB of RAM.

We still don't have the information if Samsung intends to launch the S9 soon or not. Many believe that the company should launch the devices during CES 2018, which will be held in Las Vegas in early January, however, there are those who reinforce that smartphones will only be presented at MWC 2018, in February.
