It&#8217;s actually slightly larger and heavier than its predecessor for both the S9 &amp; S9+ models. The battery capacity hasn&#8217;t changed though so that added bulk goes into other upgrades such as their camera and related internals.<\/p>\n<p>Both models are available for pre-order today via Telstra, Optus &amp; Vodafone with various packages and upgrade paths.<\/p>\n<p>You can also purchase the phones outright, direct from Samsung. The S9 retails for\u00a0A$1199 (64GB) and A$1349 (256GB). It&#8217;s bigger brother the S9+ will go for A$1349 (64GB) and A$1499 (256GB).<\/p>\n<p>The new phones will be in the hands of customers on March 16th.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/55Gpa3iKyFg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Source: <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smh.com.au\/technology\/mwc-2018-samsung-s-galaxy-s9-and-s9-make-small-but-important-improvements-20180226-p4z1p7.html\">MWC 2018: Samsung&#8217;s Galaxy S9 and S9+ make small but important improvements<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new Galaxy S9 is almost indistinguishable from its S8 predecessor\u00a0when viewed from the front, but if you&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[10],"tags":[482],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"reckoner_social_message":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7018"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7018\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reckoner.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
