Samsung’s renewed anti-Apple advertising may have something to do with the fact that it’s allegedly moving up the Note 9 launch because Galaxy S9 has struggled to sell well.
According to DisplayMate, OLED has gotten to the point where its tremendous performance advantages over LCDs make it the definitive premier display technology for top-tier smartphones in the foreseeable future over the next 3-5 years.
It seems that Samsung and Apple have a new smartphone battleground: emojis. Apple, of course, was the first to bring out an AR emoji on iPhone X last year, but now Samsung is defending its own AR emoji implementation as not being a carbon-copy of Apple’s Animoji feature.
Representing an evolution of last year’s Galaxy S8 series, the new Samsung flagships focus on camera improvements and related features, like a variable-aperture dual-lens camera setup, super slow-motion video at 960 frames per second, Samsung’s Animoji ripoff and more.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus handsets are expected to feature Animoji-like 3D emoji.
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxies are up for an unveiling later this month and leaked press shots suggest no changes in industrial design, with the exception of what appears to be a dual-lens camera setup out the back, aligned vertically.
Samsung has officially announced that its next Galaxy flagship will launch at Mobile World Congress next month.
