The long wait is almost over! Get ready, Samsung fans; the South Korean company just sent out invites for the Unpacked event which will be held next month.

Samsung’s Unpacked is scheduled to happen on February 25 during the Mobile World Congress 2018 in Barcelona. The invite shows the number “9” with a tagline “The Camera. Reimagined.” This is obviously a tease for the official launch of the Galaxy S9 and also the bigger Galaxy S9+. The invite also confirms the rumored launch date that was floating on the internet.

No teaser image was released from the invite, but previous leaks point out to a similar-looking phone based on the Galaxy S8 with slight external changes and upgrades particularly on the back with a re-positioned fingerprint scanner and dual rear cameras for the Galaxy S9+.

Leaks also suggested that we might see higher frame rates in slow motion on the Galaxy S9 at an impressive 480fps when recording in 1080p. If this is true, it’ll battle Sony’s 960fps super slow motion capture on the Xperia XZ Premium.

We’ll be covering the launch of the Galaxy S9 live on the MWC 2018 floor next month, so stay tuned!

Two years after making its big comeback, Nokia is slowly filling in the pieces of its Android smartphone lineup. The star of course has to be the new Nokia 8 Sirocco, the most premium from the announcements at Mobile World Congress.

But our favorite is the Nokia 7 Plus, a near-borderless Android One phone with Zeiss optics and a beautiful build.

In our Samsung Galaxy S9 Review video, we hope to answer questions you may have to help you make an informed decision before buying the phone.

Is Dual Aperture a gimmick? How good is the S9’s camera? S9 or S9+? Is it even worth it?

A new color, internal camera upgrades, and a few minor changes here and there don’t necessarily make the S9 look or feel new.

But is retaining the same beautiful, sleek design such a bad thing? Are the subtle improvements worth the high price tag? Is AR Emoji a gimmick?

YouTubers Mrwhosetheboss, Joshua Vergara, GadgetsBoy, GadgetsJon, The Tech Chap, David Imel, PC Centric, and Isa Rodriguez tell us what they think about the the Samsung Galaxy S9.
