The Samsung Galaxy S9 is likely to bring a couple of major improvements over the S8, including a fingerpring scanner positioned at a more convenient location and next-generation system chip that is more powerful, yet more efficient than the one inside the Galaxy S8. On the outside, however, little is likely to change - the Galaxy S9 is expected to be made of metal and glass curving around the edges, with minimum bezels surrounding its Infinity display.
