Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 and S9+ in less than 20 days and the two devices may be the last in the manufacturer’s ‘S Series’ line of flagship devices.
The South Korean company may ditch the S Series branding in favour of the letter X for its high-end flagship line. This rumour comes from Indian publicationĀ tekz24. Given thatĀ tekz24 is not the most reliable of sources, we advise taking this rumour with a grain of salt.
The publication says that the Galaxy S Series will adopt a different naming scheme in 2019, similar to what Apple did with the iPhone X last year — it’s unclear if Apple will continue with the ‘x’ naming convention though.
If Samsung goes with the X branding in 2019, the shift could breathe new life into the S Series.
This rumour, however, goes against previous leaks indicating Samsung is planning to release aĀ foldable device with the name Galaxy X. Nevertheless, it’s possible that Samsung will give its foldable phablet a different name and leave X-branding for its flagships.
Samsung will likely confirm the validity of this rumour next year when the company reveals either its foldable X phablet or premium X flagship device.
