The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ just got one step closer to release.
Two Samsung devices that are thought to be the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have appeared in the FCC's database. The devices carry the model numbers SM-G960F and SM-G965F.
Unfortunately, there are no details about either phone to be found in the FCC's listings. Samsung has requested that many parts of the FCC entries for these phones remain confidential, which is something that companies typically do when they want to keep their high-profile smartphones a secret before their official announcement.
The fact that the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have earned FCC approval doesn't guarantee that they'll be released soon, but it does mean that they've cleared another hurdle on their way to a release. Rumors have suggested that Samsung will introduce its new flagship phones in February and launch them in March.
In terms of features, it's rumored that the S9 and S9+ will have designs similar to the S8 and S8+, but with a rear fingerprint reader that's located below the rear camera rather than to its right. The S9 may have 4GB of RAM and a single rear camera setup while the S9+ features 6GB and a dual rear camera setup. Also rumored for these upcoming flagships is 64GB of storage, a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and AKG stereo speakers.
Are you looking forward to the Galaxy S9 and S9+?
