The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 may be a glimmer in its maker’s eye, but we’re already looking at what the Korean tech giant has in store for its next Note handset. Hear that sound outside your window? That’s the rattle of consumerism, rolling its merry way down your street.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Features:
Mobile reporter Benjamin Geskin has mocked up a set of renders for the Galaxy Note 9, based on a handful of early rumours about what specs the handset may include.The results look a lot like both the Note 8 and the iPhone X, with a 4K 6.4in display, a fingerprint sensor embedded into the screen, and an even fuller “infinity display”.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9: Design
There hasn't been an abundance of leaks regarding the design of the imminent Samsung Galaxy Note 9. What we can go on is the design of its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 8, which has a metal and glass build, a dual-rear camera and a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor – a design that we don't see the Note 9 deviating from too much.There's one notable exception here – reports suggest that the fingerprint sensor might be embedded within the display, as opposed to the current rear-mounted sensor sported by the Note 8. Although, as ever, nothing's been confirmed this early in the game.
Could the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 be something completely different?
Based on this year’s releases, it would be easy to predict that all smartphones will look largely identical come 2020. That pattern may be bucked, however, with a whole new concept based on foldable technology.A foldable phone from Samsung has been long-rumoured, with reports centred on a device dubbed the Samsung Galaxy X. A new handset line makes a lot of sense, but could Samsung instead decide to premier its new foldable approach with the Note 9?
Of course, all of this is guesswork. We’ll be updating this page with more concrete news are it surfaces over the coming months.
