Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ release date CONFIRMED - gadget fans won't have long to wait
Excitement among gadget fans is reaching fever pitch for the new Samsung Galaxy S9 smartphone.
And it turns out they won't have long to wait.
The premium new phone is set to go head-to-head with Apple's £999 iPhone X and, according to an interview with the president of Samsung's mobile business, it's coming soon.
DJ Koh confirmed in an interview with ZDNet the Samsung Galaxy S9 (and a larger S9 Plus version) will be launched at a trade show in February.
The biggest mobile phone trade event in February is the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona that runs from February 26 to March 1, 2018.
It's not much of a surprise as Samsung has released previous handsets in the Galaxy S range at special "Unpacked" announcements at the tech showcase.
Last year's Samsung Galaxy S8 was unveiled at MWC 2017 and went on sale in April. Chances are that the Galaxy S9 will follow the same pattern.
