Here is what we think about the Galaxy S9 design in the leaked renders

Earlier today, alleged press renders of the upcoming Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ leaked online. We already knew from various leaks and rumors that the S9 duo will be very similar to their predecessors in terms of appearance. It was believed that any major design changes to the Galaxy S9 pair will be only on the back side of the devices with a dual camera setup (apparently for Galaxy S9+ only) and a more sensible fingerprint reader placement.

Well, going by the renders leaked today, that may not be entirely true. It appears that Samsung is slightly tweaking the design on the front as well, and we are not sure everyone will like the design. Ever since the renders leaked, our Team at SamMobile has been vigorously debating about the design. So far, the opinions have been diverse. Here is what some of our Team members think

I believe the Galaxy S9 pair will be a minor visual upgrade to the current Galaxy S8 line-up. My feeling towards the upcoming devices is reminiscent of what I felt during the Galaxy S7 edge launch. The Galaxy S6 Edge had a stellar design which made the refined Galaxy S7 edge not so exciting. It feels like a repeat of the same with the Galaxy S9.

I personally like the design of the Galaxy S9. From the renders, it looks like side bezels are thicker while the bottom is smaller compared to the Galaxy S8. The top bezel mostly remains the same. In my opinion, all of this gives the Galaxy S9 pair a more symmetrical design compared to the current Galaxy S8 line-up.

If the renders are true, then I personally think it’s a step backward in design for the flagship Galaxy line-up. The side bezels are almost non-existent in the current Galaxy S8 series. This gives the user an illusion of a completely bezel-less display. I was hoping Samsung will make the top and the bottom bezels slimmer in the Galaxy S9 series, but it seems they have other plans.
