If a new report originating from South Korea is anything to go by, the upcoming Galaxy S9 will feature a modular design à la Essential Phone, which will let you attach a host of different accessories to the handset, including a 360-degree camera.
We’re a little skeptical, though. In the build up to any flagship release, a bunch of wacky rumors often surface—and they rarely ever come to fruition, so be sure to take this information with a considerable pinch of salt.
Korean publication The Bell revealed back in July that Samsung had already ordered its suppliers to start manufacturing a 5.8-inch panel for the Galaxy S9, confirming that the device will sport the same Infinity Display as its predecessor.
As Samsung is still yet to toy around with a modular build, it would be a lot safer for it to release a variant of the Galaxy S9 (maybe the Galaxy S9 Connected as a possible name) that’s equipped with magnetic pins, rather than bundling them—untested—on a flagship.
But that’s just our two cents.
