It goes without saying that Samsung will be launching both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in 2018 with hardware improvements, but exactly how much of an improvement are we looking at? Thanks to recent benchmarks that have surfaced, we now have an idea of what we might be able to expect from the Galaxy S9+.
The benchmarks don’t mention the Galaxy S9+ by name, but its model number corresponds with the naming scheme that we’ve seen Samsung use in the past. Based on the benchmarks, there are some obvious improvements in terms of performance. The single-core scores of the Galaxy S9+ are about a 27% improvement over the Snapdragon 835 used in the Galaxy S8 and S8+, while its multi-core scores are a 31% improvement over its predecessor.
It is widely assumed that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are expected to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 and that they apparently have first dibs on the chipset. It is also said that Samsung could be using the Exynos 9810 chipset in the phones as well, depending on the market, but since the benchmarks mention Qualcomm, we’re not sure how different it could be with the Exynos 9810.
In any case take it with a grain of salt for now since benchmarks can sometimes be faked or inaccurate, but if the rumors of a February launch are true, we should have the official details soon enough.
