Samsung has out innovated Apple for a while now, but the next-gen Galaxy S9 could be an iterative upgrade over the Galaxy S8 and even the newly-released Galaxy Note 8, with the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone port, and more.
The latest rumors for the Galaxy S9 peg it to have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which puts the stock 64GB of storage on the Note 8 to shame. The new rumors tease that Samsung would use Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 processor in the US and China, while they'll use their in-house Exynos 9 Octa processor - both on 10nm, for the Galaxy S9. Both the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ would feature the same specs, with different screen sizes, just like the current Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones.
