A dummy of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus has also been leaked and comes from the same source as that of the Galaxy S9 dummy video. There’s a possibility that it’s the Galaxy S9 dummy as accessory makers often get these devices in advance. However, nothing can be confirmed. Below is the video of the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus dummy.

As we move closer and closer to the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+, more and more rumours surface online. Weibo, the Chinese website which has been the same source of many leaks including a video clip of the device in a sensitivity test has now leaked a video of what allegedly appears to be a dummy unit of the Samsung Galaxy S9. At first, what becomes apparent is the single rear-camera which lies right above the fingerprint scanner. However, it could well be a prototype version which may not make it to the retail market.

The dummy device looks quite similar to the S8. The unclear video does make it appear slightly bigger than the Galaxy S8 in terms of width. Bear in mind that this could be a clone of the S9 which has already been popping up online. A single rear-camera on the Galaxy S9 is a clear indicator that the company may be reserving the dual-camera setup for the bigger of the two variants, the Samsung Galaxy S9+. However, this was quite expected and seems to be keeping in line with many of the recent leaks.

If this is indeed a dummy unit, it’s a close representation of what we can expect to hit the shelves very soon. All this must be taken with a grain of salt since nothing can be authenticated. We definitely need a clearer picture before one can make any statements for sure. However, if this is the Samsung Galaxy S9, what do you think of it?
