Samsung SM-G960W Galaxy S9 TD-LTE (Samsung Star)

Samsung · Announced Feb 2018

About Samsung Galaxy S9

The Samsung Galaxy S9 presents a compact yet striking design, measuring just under 69 mm wide and 148 mm tall while weighing a modest 163 grams. Its front is dominated by a 5.77‑inch AM‑OLED panel that delivers vivid colours and deep blacks, backed by a resolution of 1440 × 2960 pixels for sharp detail whether you’re browsing, streaming or gaming. Under the glass, the device runs Android 8.0 Oreo and is equipped with 4 gigabytes of RAM, providing smooth multitasking and responsive performance for everyday tasks.

Powering the phone is a 3000 mAh battery that fits comfortably within its slim 8.5‑millimetre profile, offering enough endurance for a typical day of use. Connectivity is kept simple with a single SIM slot, and the overall dimensions make the Galaxy S9 easy to handle with one hand while still delivering the premium display and performance expectations associated with Samsung’s flagship line.

This variant

The SM‑G960W variant matches the base Galaxy S9 in every listed specification: it has the same 5.77‑inch AM‑OLED display with 1440×2960 resolution, runs Android 8.0 Oreo, includes 4 GiB of RAM, houses a 3000 mAh battery, measures 68.7 × 147.7 × 8.5 mm, weighs 163 grams, and offers a single SIM slot. Consequently, there are no differences in core hardware, dimensions, weight, or software when compared to the base model description.

What sets this SM‑G960W apart from the other Galaxy S9 variants is its model number and the implications that follow. Unlike the Duos models that provide two SIM slots, this edition is strictly single‑SIM. It also does not specify a storage capacity in the supplied data, whereas many of the alternatives explicitly list 128 GB or 256 GB options. Furthermore, while some regional models support WiMAX or 4G+ LTE, the SM‑G960W is noted only for TD‑LTE connectivity. These distinctions—single‑SIM configuration, absence of explicit storage details, and its specific TD‑LTE network designation—highlight how this variant differs from the other listed Galaxy S9 models.
