A new leak regarding the Galaxy Note 9 shows a new button and the repositioned fingerprint sensor.
Over the past few days, there have been quite a few leaks about Samsung’s next flagship smartphone, commonly dubbed the Galaxy Note 9. Now, a leak by a credible Twitter account has gotten hold of a case render of the said device.

From the sketched image we can see openings for not four but five buttons. The four buttons on the sides of the handset are expected to be for the volume keys, standby button and Bixby, while the fifth is expected to be for a camera shutter key.
Looking at the image, we can see that this new button is located far below the standby button. Handsets in the past have featured dedicated camera shutter keys and this would come as no surprise if Samsung decided to include this physical attribute on their next flagship. In any case, there has been a lot of talk surrounding the camera capabilities of the Galaxy Note 9 and some rumours have even indicated that there may even be a triple-camera system featured here.
Apart from the cameras, a lot of rumours have claimed that Samsung would employ an in-screen fingerprint sensor but if this leaked image of the case turns out to be true then we will be seeing a repositioned fingerprint sensor on the rear.
Even though this leak shows a ton of physical features regarding the Note 9, we should all take it with a huge dose of salt as these are still rumours. All will be known when Samsung finally announces it sometime in August.
