The competition in the current smartphone market has raised the stakes for all the companies who participate in the battle to grab the consumers' attention.
Samsung, Apple, and Google have recently released their latest flagships, and not even a month later, it seems that new rumors are circulating for the next devices in their respective lineups. Specifically for Samsung, speculations, and rumors have begun to indicate what fans can expect for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9.
According to Express, there is a strong likelihood that Samsung will finally consider changing the position of their fingerprint scanner. Considering how it remains to be one of the more annoying features on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy Note 8, it is high time for the tech giant to work on how to integrate the security feature underneath the massive display, which is also expected for the Samsung Galaxy S9.
Furthermore, it seems that Samsung is working to catch up with Apple's A11 bionic chip, as rumors circulate that they just signed a deal with Qualcomm to be the first mobile device to be equipped with the latest Snapdragon 845.
The tech giant has yet to release any official word on their upcoming smartphone, but further rumors reported by WCCFTECH claims that there is also the possibility that Samsung is working on integrating support for 3D facial recognition. Although this might be expected, especially since Apple's iPhone 8, 8 Plus, and X are equipped with the technology, the claims come from a Chinese source, who is familiar with the process and is involved the supply chain.
There is a lot of expectations for the Samsung Galaxy S9. The S8 and Note 8 were successful in capturing the attention of the market, and it seems that the new production process has sped up the steps needed to help the tech giant unveil another game changer in response to Apple's flagship iPhone X.
