Based on a new conjecture, it seems like the release of Samsung Galaxy S9 could happen earlier than expected. Unlike the typical March – April timeline for the unveiling and market release of Samsung’s previous flagship devices, the upcoming premier phone is now rumored to be official a few weeks after the New Year.
A specific release date was not mentioned but the Korean news site The Investor shared that the Galaxy S9 could have its grand launch at the latter part of January. This speculation for the feasible earlier release was based on shipment schedule for the Samsung Display’s OLED panel, which is said to commence in November this year. Comparing it to the production timeframe of the current flagship, the shipping of the Samsung Galaxy S8’s display panels began January 2017 and it was then launched to the public March this year.
