A set of schematics which are alleged to be offical and which show the Samsung Galaxy S9's design have leaked online; they've also now been picked up and turned into unofficial renders.
The design shows the rumoured even narrower display bezels, which should lead to the rumoured near 90% screen-to-body ratio on the phone's front. We can also see on the rear panel a single-sensor camera with a fingerprint scanner below it, putting to bed rumours of an in-display scanner for the Galaxy S9. The position on the rear is now below the camera sensor, avoiding the unpopular off-centre position from the Galaxy S8 series.
While the schematics do show one camera sensors, it is possible this is the Galaxy S9 and that the Galaxy S9+ will pack a dual-sensor array, as this has been tipped before.
Interestingly, we can also see a 3.5mm headphone jack in the baseplate, along with the Type-C USB port.
The renders were picked up by @Samsung_News and pretty much show the same design, although we also see the dual-camera Galaxy S9+. The artist has rendered the handsets in Samsung's current colour catalogue including Orchid Grey, Maple Gold, Ocean Blue, Silver Titanium and Midnight Black. However, current rumours suggest only four colours on launch.
