An online retailer has leaked the official accessories for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The list includes various protective covers, but a new iteration of the convertible charging pad and an all-new DeX Pad are also expected to be announced soon.

Over the weekend, SamMobile reported that online store Mobile Fun has reached out to them to confirm the lineup of accessories that are specially designed for the highly anticipated Galaxy S8 successor and its larger variant, the Galaxy S9+.

It’s important to point out that Mobile Fun does not have photos for many of the official Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ accessories just yet. Samsung hasn’t provided images for many of the accessories because the new flagship handsets are still being kept under wraps.

Meanwhile, SamMobile has claimed that Samsung is also launching a new wireless charging pad for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. This will apparently replace the convertible charging pad that’s currently being sold and marketed as the perfect Galaxy S8 and Note 8 wireless charging companion.

Additionally, Samsung is also believed to be introducing a new version of the DeX Pad alongside the launch of the Galaxy S9 and S9+. The pad will enable users to utilize the display of their connected phone as a mouse with Android 8.0 Oreo. Furthermore, there are rumors claiming that the all-new DeX Pad will also be capable of acting as a keyboard to the setup, so that users can take advantage of all of DeX’s capabilities.

Earlier rumors claimed that Samsung will likely debut the Galaxy S9 and its bigger sibling at CES 2018 this January. However, a representative for the South Korea tech giant has already addressed the rumors and said that this is very unlikely. This has since caused many fans and tech sites to speculate that the new flagship smartphones will most likely debut at MWC 2018 this coming February.

The Galaxy S9 is expected to be a minor upgrade to this year’s Galaxy S8. Therefore, fans shouldn’t expect a major redesign. Nonetheless, the successor will likely garner a lot of attention for it is believed to come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 chipset, a larger 3,200mAh battery and an improved iris scanner.
