A month before the launch of the Galaxy S9, we have what looks to be the the near-final renders of the smartphone. The images were published by the website VentureBeat.
The design seems to be slightly different over last year’s S8, featuring minimal bezels and a panel showing the sensors and the camera the top. The S9 and S9+ versions are shown with 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch displays respectively.
Another retained design element is the Bixby button, which can now be programmed to carry out a different function. The fingerprint scanner is said to be aligned towards the bottom of the camera, rather than unnaturally towards the side like its predecessor.

Slashleaks has a YouTube video where a reported dummy model was shown on camera. The camera in question is a single-lens one, which is a plausible detail, since the Note 8 itself came with a dual-lens one. The 12-megapixel sensor will likely come with variable aperture, as well as a 1080p shooting mode at 480 frames per second.

Other Specifications
No word was given regarding the specifications of the phone, however, we have a pretty good idea about what to expect. Under the hood, there’ll be either a Snapdragon 845 or an Exynos 9810 processor, with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of storage.
The Plus version will up it to a 6 GB module with 128 GB storage. The front is also said to come with an 8-megapixel camera sensor, which will come with face-recognition and stereo speakers located at the bottom.
