VentureBeat has shared (via serial tipster (Evan Blass) what it claims are official images of the forthcoming Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.

If these leaked images are accurate it appears the Samsung Galaxy S9 will keep the same dual curved almost bezelss display and dedicated Bizby button.

VentureBeat, which has an impressive track record when it comes to predicting future Samsung hardware, claim the Galaxy S9 will include a 5.8 inches display while Galaxy S9+ is said to have a slightly larger 6.2 inches display.

Samsung is tipped to make some major upgrades to the cameras on the Galaxy S9 and S9

Samsung Camera improvements purportedly include a variable aperture on the rear facing 12MP, enabling users to switch between f/2.4 and f/1.5.

According to sources speaking to VentureBeat the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ will include built in AKG stereo speakers this time around.

Samsung has yet to really leverage its acquisition of Harman International the parent company behind premium audio brands like AKG,JBL and Harman/Kardon which it bought in March 2017.

According to reports, the cameras will be aligned vertically on the back of the both galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+.

This solves one of our biggest gripes with Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ which aligned the fingerprint scanner horizontally with the lens.

Both Galaxy S9 models are widely tipped to keep the 3.5mm headphone port something previously rumoured to have been ditched in favour of USB C headphones.
