Samsung will be launching the Galaxy Note 9 on
August 9th and thanks to numerous leaks and rumors, we now know most of the
details about the flagship. Now the freshly we get to see the Samsung Galaxy
Note 9 Stylus Pen in the new Golden or Yellow color. We already knew that the S
Pen will come with Bluetooth support and it might be able to control music
playback, long-range self-timer.
From the surfaced image, the S Pen seems to be
coming with a button on its surface along with a clicker on the bottom. Apart
from the S Pen, we also get to see the Galaxy Note 9. It will have a USB Type-C
port, speaker vents, 3.5mm audio jack, and a slot to hold the S Pen. On the
rear, we see the dual rear cameras arranged very much like the Galaxy Note 8,
but the fingerprint sensor is now present below the camera module along with
Samsung branding.
The Galaxy Note 9 is expected to be powered by the
Exynos 9810 or Snapdragon 845 depending on the market, the camera sensors are
expected to be the same as the Galaxy S9+. We could finally see a 512GB storage
variant, but it is unclear whether the 512GB variant will be available as
widely as the 256GB Galaxy S9.
Samsung will also debut Bixby 2.0 which will offer
improved response times. The phone is said to come in Black, Blue, Gray,
Lavender and new Brown colors, pack a massive 4000mAh battery with support for
wireless fast charging technology.
A Polish website
has published a small piece revealing the upcoming Galaxy Note9's price and
release date in the country. According to the media, the information comes from
a Samsung employee who attended a pre-briefing for the device.
During the
pre-brief, the spokesperson mentioned a price of PLN 4,299 (US$ 1,158/€ 990) for
the base version with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage - it appears
that the Note9 will cost about the same as its predecessor when launched. It's
expected to hit the Polish market on August 24 with pre-orders starting on the
same day of the annoucement - August 9.
In addition, a
local store confirmed the exact same price, so we have a good reason to believe
the rumors. We suspect that the European pricing and launch date would be
identical to the Polish market with just a few days and euros of difference.
