Blass leaked the photos of the two devices' front sides a few weeks ago, but this is the first time we've seen the lilac purple color.

The biggest difference between these two phones is apparent from the images: Besides being quite a bit bigger, the Galaxy S9+ has two cameras on the back, while the S9 only has one.

Previous rumors indicate that the two phones will both run on the new Snapdragon 845 chip, 64GB of storage (further expandable via microSD cards), and headphone jack. The S9+ might come with 6GB of RAM while the S9 will probably only have 4GB.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ are scheduled to be officially unveiled on Feb. 25, ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Mashablewill be there to bring you the news on new Samsung gadgets.
