BARCELONA -- South Korean smartphone maker Samsung Electronics on Sunday released its latest flagship models, the Galaxy S9 and the S9 plus.
The new devices are designed to meet the needs of users who frequently exchange images on social networking services. Samsung has set its sights squarely on taking on social media giants like Facebook and Google, rather than rival phone maker Apple. The move is a clear indication that the era in which the competition in hardware performance drives the market is coming to an end.
