Take a look at these jaw-dropping Burgundy Red Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ pictures

Samsung has its work cut out to get back into the running in China, where the company has seen its market share plummet nearly into oblivion thanks to competition from local OEMs who keep putting out better smartphones at dirt cheap pricing every other day.

The Galaxy S8 and S8+ Oreo update took an awfully long time to reach every consumer, and the wait was even longer for Galaxy Note 8 owners, who paid considerably more than those who purchased the Galaxy S8. It’s generally agreed that Samsung’s software skin, called Samsung Experience these days, is what adds the extra development time for...
