Amidst the rumours of Samsung preponing Galaxy S9 series launch to January, a new report from its home market has emerged that claims the company will not astray from regular release cycle.
Like previous years, Samsung is planning to host global Galaxy S9 series unveiling on February 25 and later showcase them to the global audience the very next day at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018, Barcelona (February 26-March 1). The company intends to release the product to the market in early March, reported local daily Korea ETNews.
It also added that Samsung is using stacked system board design to leave more space for additional components and most probably to increase battery capacity (or extra cell) similar to Apple iPhone X, which uses two batteries placed in the form 'L' shape.
This apparently lends credence to the previous reports, which revealed that Samsung will be bumping the cell capacity in the generic Galaxy S9 series to 3,200mAh, 200mAh more than what we see in its predecessor.
