68 ANDROID ADVISOR • ISSUE 46
PREVIEW
We’d expect to see the same 2960x1440, 570ppi,
Super AMOLED ‘Infinity’ panel on the S9, and another
529ppi panel on the S9+. Given that Samsung by
default limits the screen resolution to Full-HD+
(2220x1080) in the Galaxy S8, we really don’t think
it will push up the resolution up to 4K.
It is possible that despite keeping the same
dimensions and resolution the display technology
itself could be improved. Samsung is reportedly using
screen tech code-named ‘Sunflower’ for the Galaxy S9- it’s still Super AMOLED, but should improve display
fidelity and be more consistent and reliable.
The new virtually full-screen 18.5:9 ratio will also
likely remain, as will features such as the always-on
display and edge functionality. However, in 2018
we could see Samsung follow the route Apple has
taken with the iPhone X and minimize the top
bezel even further.
