Samsung Galaxy S9 Exposed In ‘Accidental’ Carrier Leak

Over the weekend Orange.ro accidentally published the product page for the Galaxy S9. It was quickly pulled, causing the link to redirect to general handsets, but the original details can still be viewed thanks to web caching.

What Orange Romania revealed is the Galaxy S9 will indeed stick with the 5.8-inch Quad HD OLED ‘Infinity Display’ introduced with the Galaxy S8, but also introduce a headline-grabbing primary rear camera with a super fast aperture (as previously leaked). Predictably the product page also mentions support for 4G+, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

That said, aside from breaking cover too soon, I suspect Orange also pulled the page because it contains a couple of inaccuracies. The chipset is listed as a Exynos 8895 when that was inside the Galaxy S8, and 3D Touch is specified for the display when a) no pressure sensitive screen technology is expected, and b) that’s an Apple brand name in any case.

Regardless, Samsung is unlikely to be thrilled with Orange about this. Especially since it was the Orange Romanian division which also listed the Galaxy Note 8 one week ahead of Samsung’s official launch.

Then again the Galaxy S9 is unlikely to be Samsung’s most interesting smartphone this year when hopes are high for something more radical
