Smartphones are all the same; boring black slabs of glass, metal and / or plastic, without character or soul. That's where we were a few years ago, before Huawei and others decided to change things and introduce vivid colors and gradients. Now they're all there, even OnePlus, and Samsung has decided to join the party with an Ice Blue option for the Galaxy S9.

This is not the first time that Samsung uses such a style – the Galaxy A9 also has a nice gradient – but it's the first time one of its flagship phones is as pretty. The S9 and the larger S9 + with dual camera have both received the gel treatment, as you can see in the gallery below.

It is possible that this will be published later in other regions, but I would not hold your breath. Do not worry, because we do not have much time waiting for the Galaxy S10, which will arrive to or around the MWC 2019 at the end of February. It is expected that she will launch with equally interesting colors.
