Apple wowed the world with its iPhone X. Now it's Samsung's turn.
The South Korean electronics giant on Sunday will unveil its latest phone, the Galaxy S9, at its Unpacked event at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. Samsung's invitation for the launch featured the number nine -- for the name of the device -- as well as the teaser, "The Camera. Reimagined."
The Galaxy S series is Samsung's most important product line. If you own an Android phone, the odds are pretty high that it bears a Samsung logo. Last year, about one out of every five phones shipped across the world came from the company, according to IDC.

I'll be back on the cellphone market again in 2 years when they should be ready with the Galaxy S11. Think of how advanced that cellphone will probably be!
I had a J7. Loved it. Just got an S8. So far, love it even more. Had an Iphone about 3 years ago. Hated it.
It will have built-in warp drive. You'll be able to tour the galaxy with it.
I have the same model. Love it. No need to upgrade for the sake of upgrading, even if Samsung has made device migration pretty easy these days.
LOL... the iPhone X has the Samsung screen S phones have had for 4 years. LOL....
I’ll say this. I had 3 iPhones and one S7 which I’ve used for the last year and a half.
I don’t remember my S7 locking up ever, it may have but that’s how rarely it occurs. I can remember lockups were a regular occurrence on my iPhones every few months. My Nokia Windows phone was the best as far as reliability but you know how that is.
I’ll buy a new ‘smartphone’ when they make one with full duplex communications like our landline phones have.
My first cellphone had it, but none do these days. It’s like using a CB radio but you have no control over when your talk button is pressed and when it is not. I guess when you give up analog voice and go to all digital you have to make some concessions.
That's a joke but it's a classic. I don't have a cell phone.
I have the S8 and generally enjoy it (almost got the S7 but decided to wait). I don’t use the fingerprint scanner, Bixby, or the swipe “down” from the main screen to access whatever that wasted function was. Disabled them along with a lot of other Samsung garbage. Not crazy about the beveled edges but I’m used to them now. Had to search long and hard to find a decent browser. Owned the phone right at two years...battery’s getting a little weak.
The camera is GREAT, telephone is loud and clear, Spider Solitaire plays fine (except beveled edge interferes). Did I mention the camera is wonderful...puts my wife’s iPhone 7 to shame.
Motorola...had one.
Hope the battery doesn’t explode!!!
I’ve had a S7 Edge “Active” for a couple years. Never a problem. Works every day, reliably.
Whereas my wife and daughter have iPhones and complain about frequently issued new operating systems messing up there phones.
I can also change the battery and add memory. Even my sim card when I am out of the country. They can’t, or at least, as easily.
should be “their”, not there. sorry
They should have called it the S-IX...............
My wife had one of those.....................

You should try one of the newer phones!
My s7 will hold two SIM cards.
I also have an S7 phone, and a Tab 5 tablet. Happier with the phone than the tablet. We also have a Samsung washing machine; it plays a little tune when the load is done. My wife wondered the name of the tune and she didn’t see the humor when I told her it was “The East is Red.”
Another “S7 Edge” owner.
Lovin’ it ...and in no hurry to upgrade.
