Samsung Galaxy S9 FIRST With Qualcomm's New "Snapdragon 845"

Samsung is already hard at work on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus

And in other news, the sky is also blue.

Yes folks, apparently, according to news sources in Korea, the Samsung Galaxy S9 is already in development before Galaxy S8 units are even in the hands of pre-order customers.

This is not at all surprising. We're now quite used to the standard tech development cycle, which for most companies, particularly the major ones like Samsung and Apple, requires that development of a new product begins long before its predecessor is even released. Indeed, we've been seeing this in the last 12 months or so on the subject of the iPhone 8 and iPhone 7, both being rumoured prior to the iPhone 7 launch.
