What's the latest Samsung Galaxy S9 news?
We've recently learned that the Samsung Galaxy S9 will support Project Treble, meaning that it's likely to be among the first Android smartphones to be updated to Android P and any subsequent updates.
What is the Samsung Galaxy S9 price?
We know the Galaxy S9 will cost £739, $719.99, or AU$1,199 SIM-free directly from Samsung, but exact pricing for other markets is currently unclear. In the UK, that's a huge price jump over last year's handset, which cost £689 at launch, and it's the same price as the reports our sources told us before it was made official.
What's the Samsung Galaxy S9 release date?
The Samsung Galaxy S9 launch date is today (February 25) and the phone will be up for pre-order in the next few hours or days depending on where you live. You'll be able to get the phone in your hands from March 16.
Samsung Galaxy S9 release date
Samsung Galaxy S9 was announced on stage at MWC 2018
Galaxy S9 pre-orders open now in Europe, March 1 in the US
Galaxy S9 release date set for March 16
The Samsung Galaxy S9 was officially unveiled on stage at MWC 2018, but it won't be on shop shelves just yet.
If you want to buy the Galaxy S9, you'll be able to pre-order it from 7PM GMT on February 25 in the UK – that's right after the launch event. Those in the US have to wait until March 1 for pre-orders to open, and we've yet to learn about the timing for the rest of the world.
As for when you'll actually get the phone, the Galaxy S9 release date is set for March 16 globally. You may want to pre-order to ensure you get your device on that date, but everyone will be able to buy it from March 16 2018. But how much is it going to set you back?

Further pricing is set to follow, and we'll update when we know more
Samsung has confirmed the price of the Galaxy S9 in the UK at £739, $719.99 in the US and AU$1,199 in Australia.
In the UK, we've only currently heard of contract pricing from EE. Deals there start at £53 a month with an upfront cost of £150. That gets you 4GB of data every month as well as unlimited minutes and texts.
In the UK, it's a 7% price increase over last year, but a massive 25% bump from the price of the Galaxy S7.
We also don't know any specific US or UK contract pricing yet, but we'll be sure to update here when we hear from the major networks and carriers on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 doesn't offer any major improvements over the display on the Galaxy S8 – there's sadly no in-screen fingerprint scanner here, like on the Vivo X20 Plus UD – but it still offers some high-end specs.
