Samsung Confirms Galaxy S9 Launch Date

South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics will unveil its flagship Galaxy S9 at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in February, dismissing earlier reports that the launch will take place at the Consumer Electronics Show 2018.

Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S8 last year in March and starting selling the device in April. The unveiling of the Galaxy S9 comes a month earlier and sales will likely begin in March this year.

The official also said that the company was planning to launch its foldable phone sometime next year. Last year he told reporters in South Korea that the company was targeting a launch this year.

Samsung's Galaxy S9 will likely be the first smartphone from the company to offer 512GB storage.
