Samsung Galaxy Note 9 hands-on images leaked

Samsung is all set to launch the Galaxy Note 9 at the Galaxy unpacked event in New York on August 9. By far, there has been a surplus of rumours and leaks which have barely left anything to the imagination. Ahead of the official unveiling, a new set of live image and press renders of the handset have been leaked, revealing the design of the smartphone.

The alleged leaked image shows a Midnight Black variant of the Note 9. The live images first spotted on SlashLeaks, suggests that the device will heavily borrow the same design methodology — an infinity display up top, dual rear cameras and flagship specifications, from its predecessor, the Galaxy Note 8. The fingerprint sensor might get shifted to just below the dual rear camera system, instead of on the side. Furthermore, one can also witness the presence of the heart rate monitor on the rear of the smartphone.

The hands-on images don't reveal much about the smartphone but do confirm previously rumoured speculations surrounding the Note 9. The flagship phablet is rumoured to feature a 6.4-inch QHD+ Super AMOLED Infinity Display with an 18:5:9 aspect ratio. At its core, it is expected to be powered by the upcoming in-house Exynos 9820 chipset or Snapdragon 845 SoC, depending upon the market. The device could come with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. Optics wise, there will most likely be a dual rear camera setup.

Besides, the smartphone was recently spotted in a lilac purple variant with a Gold coloured S Pen expected, as per leaks. Apart from this colour, the Galaxy Note 9 is speculated to arrive in Blue, Grey, Black, Brown, Lavender colour options.
