According to the leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S9 will sport a smaller 5-inch display while the S9 may feature a 5.8-inch display. The leaks also suggest that the Galaxy S9 will come with a dual-camera setup at the back with BABR coating which is usually found on DSLR lenses to limit ghosting and reflection. The company might also change the positioning of the fingerprint scanner which was unliked by many on the S8 and S8+.
