E' domenica. Vuol dire che ho del tempo per dedicarmi a Steemit dopo la scelta che ho preso tre settimane fa di frequentare un corso che mi terrà occupato per un mese e mezzo. Magari ne parlerò in un prossimo post.
Ma questa domenica è speciale per chi è geek come me: iniziano le prime conferenze e presentazioni dei prossimi ritrovati tecnologici delle varie case produttrici di smartphone che partecipano al Mobile World Congress 2018.
Alcuni dispositivi sono già stati presentati (ieri ed oggi) nel momento in cui scrivo ed altri stanno per farlo come quelli di Huawei, Nokia e Samsung. In questo articolo mi concentrerò proprio sugli ultimi due flagship del produttore sudcoreano il quale la fuga di notizie ha reso noto, da tempo, tutte le loro caratteristiche e funzionalità che andrò ad elencare più sotto.
Samsung torna quindi a presentare i suoi prodotti a ridosso del MWC dopo che l'anno scorso aveva deciso di posticipare l'evento dedicato ai Galaxy S8 ed S8+ al 29 marzo (alcuni pensano che la scelta era dovuta al caso delle batterie difettose del precedente Galaxy Note 7 e quindi l'azienda si era presa del tempo per perfezionare al meglio la produzione di batterie).
I Galaxy S9 e Galaxy S9 avranno, rispettivamente:
- Display da 5,8 e 6,2 pollici QHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display
- Processore Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 per gli USA ed Exynos 9810 per l'Europa
- RAM da 4 e 6 GB
- 64 GB di memoria interna espandibile
- Fotocamera posteriore da 12 Megapixel con apertura variabile (f/1.5 o f/2.4) stabilizzata su S9. Su S9+ sarà presente un secondo modulo ad affiancare il primo da 12 Megapixel a focale fissa di f/2.4. Anch'essa stabilizzata
- Fotocamera anteriore da 8 Megapixel f/1.7 con autofocus
- Batteria da 3.000 e 3.500 mAh
- Connettività completa con Bluetooth 5.0
- Resistente ad acqua e polvere con certificazione IP68
Queste caratteristiche, insieme a funzionalità software che comprendono Super SlowMotion a 960 fps, registrazione video in 4K a 60 fps ed AR Emoji, collocano i dispositivi nella fascia premium del mercato smartphone ad un prezzo che si aggira intorno ai €900 per l'S9 e €1000 per l'S9+.
La serie S è giunta al termine?
Rumors di questi giorni ci hanno suggerito che Samsung stia pensando di abbandonare la famosa nomenclatura S in favore di un'altra: la X. Visto che ci avviciniamo al numero 10 nella classificazione delle versioni dei cellulari sudcoreani, l'azienda potrebbe ricorrere al numero romano X per differenziare ll suo portafoglio di prodotti. La tesi è avvalorata dal fatto che è in sviluppo da tempo una versione completamente flessibile di un misterioso smartphone Samsung che nel 2019 potrebbe finalmente vedere la luce.
Ma la X non è già stata utilizzata da Apple per il suo iPhone? La Samsung copia sempre!
E qui incombe l'errore. Samsung sta lavorando al suo smartphone flessibile, e quindi pieghevole, dal lontano 2013 con il Galaxy YOUM, un dispositivo, mero esercizio di stile, con schermo arrotolabile, la quale tecnologia ha portato lo sviluppo dei display del Galaxy Round e dei più conosciuti bordi Edge dei Galaxy S, dal 6 in poi. Del Galaxy X se ne parla già da un anno quando si pensava che insieme al Galaxy S8 fosse presentato questo fantomatico smartphone pieghevole chiamato in questo modo.
Quello che voglio cercare di dire è che semmai venisse commercializzato un Galaxy X la nomenclatura non deve essere in alcun modo accostata allo smartphone Apple e che la coincidenza ha visto chiamare (magari) due smartphone differenti con lo stesso nome ma con due filosofie completamente diverse.

It's Sunday. It means that I have time for Steemit after the choice I made three weeks ago to embark on a journey that will keep me busy for a month and a half. Maybe I'll talk about it in a next post.
But this Sunday is special for those who are geeks like me: first conferences and presentations of the next smartphone manufacturers participating in the Mobile World Congress 2018.
Some devices have already been presented (yesterday and today) while I'm writing and others are going to do it like those of Huawei, Nokia and Samsung. In this article I will focus precisely on the last two flagships of the South Korean manufacturer which the leak of news has made known, for some time, all their features and functionality that I will go to list below.
So Samsung returns to present its products close to the MWC after last year decision to postpone the event dedicated to Galaxy S8 and S8+ to the 29th of March (some think that the choice was due to the case of defective batteries of the previous Galaxy Note 7 so the company took time to perfect the production of its batteries).
The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 will have, respectively:
- 5.8 and 6.2 inch QHD display + Super AMOLED Infinity Display
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor for the USA and Exynos 9810 for Europe
- 4 and 6 GB RAM
- 64 GB of expandable internal memory
- 12 Megapixel rear camera with variable aperture (f/1.5 or f/2.4) stabilized on S9. On S9+ there will be a second module to support the first with 12 megapixel fixed focal length of f/2.4. All stabilized
- Front camera 8 megapixel f/1.7 with autofocus
- 3,000 and 3,500 mAh battery
- Complete connectivity with Bluetooth 5.0
- Resistant to water and dust with IP68 certification
These features, along with software features that include Super SlowMotion at 960 fps, video recording in 4K at 60 fps and AR Emoji, place the devices in the premium range of the smartphone market at a price that is around €900 for the S9 and €1000 for the S9+.
Has the S series come to an end?
Rumors of these days have suggested that Samsung is thinking of abandoning the famous nomenclature S in favor of another: the X. As we approach to the number 10 in the version classification of the South Korean mobile phones, the company could resort to the Roman number X to differentiate your product portfolio. The thesis is supported by the fact that a fully flexible version of a mysterious Samsung smartphone could be released in 2019 after the development in this years.
But is already the X been used by Apple for its iPhone? Samsung always copies!
And here is the error. Samsung is working on its flexible smartphone, and folding, since 2013 with the Galaxy YOUM, a device, mere exercise of style, with rollable screen, which technology has led the development of the Galaxy Round displays and the most popular Edge edges of the Galaxy S, from 6 version onwards. The Galaxy X it's progressed a lot for a year when people believed that along with the Galaxy S8 it was presented this imaginary folding smartphone called in this way.
What I want to say is that if a Galaxy X will be marketed the nomenclature should not be in any way approached to the Apple smartphone and that is only a coincidence of two different smartphones with the same name but with two completely different philosophies.

Ciao @john-gpr
Faccio già parte della community di @steempostitalia e su Discord sono già utente consapevole! Ti ringrazio per aver avuto la premura di leggere il post ed invitarmi nel gruppo.
Alla prossima!
Scusami....un errore imperdonabile. Gli automatismi che abbiamo introdotto ....va beh. Colpa mia e basta
Non ti devi minimamente preoccupare! Va bene così! :)
A new Samsung phone interesting. I see that they still haven't learned their lesson with the fingerprint scanner on the Galaxy S9 it stills seems to be located too close to the rear camera. Also seems like it is still too small for a finger.
Which creates an uncomfortable feeling when unlocking the device. The rounded design that Huawei is using is so much more user friendly. It seems to be a little better than what they used on Galaxy S8 when it was located on the side.
Bluetooth 5.0 on the other hand is really good. Hope it works better when using wireless earphone alternatives. Since for me Bluetooth 4.2 was still not that stable in terms of performance.
With the naming structure of their phones it probably would be wise to switch to something else since it will start to sound a bit silly if they go on much longer with the current format. S10, S11 and S12 not so sure if that will be good marketing names. A new letter clearly is what's needed.
It's very fun to see all these companies copy each other in every single category. I guess it becomes harder to be an original in the future when people already have done everything. It's more about who can use the best grace when they are remixing stuff into something that will be marketed as brand new.
Fingerprint scanner have to be tried. When S9 will be on sale I'll go to a store and I'll try the phone.
I don't know if Bluetooth 5.0 is good because I stuck with Bluetooth 4.0 on my S5! Ahahah! And I don't even have wireless earphone. I don't like them.
I think the only thing that will be an original success is flexible display. Did you see ZTE Axon M? Not bad!
Yes go try that and let me know when it's available.
Very impressive that the Galaxy S5 still works so well. My Galaxy S6 started to go bad pretty fast. But my S6 Edge is still holding up extremely well in performance. Those wireless earphones looks really goofy especially Apple's white edition. Not sure if I want to be seen in public wearing those. I also have a bit of a dislike relationship currently with Bluetooth earphones. A bit resistant towards new stuff. Perhaps I'm getting old haha.
Will dive deeper today searching for what's going on in the phone world. Seeing that there is lots of new excitement in that niche because of MWC! Will get my presearch action up to speed and search the new phones in there so I could earn some PRE at the same time. But from a quick look at gsmarena the ZTE Axon M looks extremely impressive. Nice with some new thinking concepts!
Btw if you ever use a computer then you could follow @steemplayroom every hour they run a fun little game you could join in on and if you win you earn some Steem. Nice to see gaming being implemented with some new creative apps. Hope Mario Kart and Mario Party gets added in the future. Would improve the social aspect!
Yeah, my Galaxy S5 works still pretty well. I don't complain.
Airpods are ugly. STOP! Ahahahah
Wow! I didn't know this account! I'll follow @steemplayroom . I've enjoyed Agar.io in the past so I can give a chance!
A question for you: I signed up into Presearch after your post on Steemit, ok. If I want to convert tokens into other cryptocurrencies how can I do? Am I so newbie that I don't see the functionality?
Yes I don't see it either at the moment. I found this post that talked about that the search engine would be ready in 12-18 months.
Very exciting area clearly since Google has such a monopoly. Just imagine decentralized search. On coinmarketcap they list that in total 1 billion PRE tokens will exist and it's an Ethereum ERC20 token. That is 47x the amount of Bitcoin and if we take $10,000 Bitcoin value split it by 47 we get $212 per coin so who knows how high this eventually could go haha!
If it would follow the exact same trend as Bitcoin which it probably won't but fun to speculate then it would be $212 per each PRE. 8 PRE tokens per day = $1696. I'm probably wrong but crazier things have happened. Going to hold as many as possible. I don't see search going away anytime soon!
You're right. Thanks for the info!
