After doing its own thing last year, Samsung returns to dominate Mobile World Congress 2018 on Sunday with the reveal of its next flagship phones, the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus.
The latest members of Samsung’s large and high-powered Galaxy family give Samsung its first opportunity to return Apple’s iPhone X serve that was debuted last September. We don’t know what exactly Samsung will give us just yet, but as the event is titled “The Camera. Reimagined,” something about taking photos is a good guess. Other rumors include a face unlock tool, a virtual fingerprint reader, a fast wireless charger and Qualcomm’s‘s Snapdragon 845 processor.
If you can’t make it to Spain, fear not as you only have to bookmark this page to watch the event live. The action from Barcelona starts this Sunday, February 25 at 6:00 p.m. local time — which is noon ET and 9:00 a.m. PT (find when the when in starts in your time zone).
