According to the Korean media The BellSamsung has opted for the codename "Star" for its next flagship, the Galaxy S9 (and "Star 2" for the larger model). Also, it seems that device development has started 3-4 months ahead of scheduleBut unsurprisingly, there are no details yet on what the S9 might offer, save for a higher resolution Infinity Display.
For now, the only thing we can do is suppose that the Galaxy S9 could represent an update similar to the one between the Galaxy S6 / S6 edge and the Galaxy S7 edge, with more innovative features and greater changes compared to what we saw in the This year's flagship relative to last year's devices.
The Galaxy S8 was nicknamed "Project Dream" during its development, while the Galaxy Note 8 carries the codename "Great", which is one of the simplest nicknames associated with a Samsung flagship.
Just a few weeks ago, just after the launch of the Galaxy S8, the news broke that Samsung had already got to work together with Qualcomm to prepare the processor of the Galaxy S9. In addition, the company started development so early especially to avoid any problems such as those that occurred with the Galaxy Note 7.
On the other hand, last April the company also began to prepare the first screen samples for the Galaxy S9, and according to several sources close to the manufacturer, Samsung is already working on the device's modules (sensors, cameras, etc.).
It remains to be seen what other surprises Samsung brings us for next year, although the only thing that is clear at this point is that there will still be two Galaxy S9 models, with different screen sizes and resolutions.
What about the Galaxy Note 8 that you mention as going through the "Great" key? I understood that with the Galaxy Note 7 fiasco Samsung had discontinued the Note line; I'm a fan of (I write from Note 5, having had all from Note 2)
come on !!!! let people enjoy the mobile phones that the s8 was not even three months ago and you are already starting to give the ember with the rumors !!! HEAVY !!!!
