It is widely believed that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be larger than its predecessor, come with a bigger storage option and will be upgraded to have a second camera.
The Twitter user @UniverseIce has a track record of leaking important details prior to announcements had previously revealed real-world images of the Galaxy S8 among others. This time he claims to have exposed the real Galaxy Note 9 design. From the images, we can see that it looks pretty identical to the Note 8 and Samsung have used this design cue to save on some manufacturing costs. This comes on the back of Samsung using similar design elements with the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S9.
Very little is known but people familiar with the matter claim that when Samsung unveils the Galaxy Note 9, the South Korean tech giants will highlight an upgraded camera. There may be no cosmetic changes to the design and in all likelihood, the Galaxy Note 9 will look similar to the Note 8. The next generation Note will feature an upgraded Qualcomm processor for certain markets.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is believed to have two variants, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor for some markets, and an Exynos 9810 for others. The next Galaxy Note is expected to come with 8GB RAM and a massive 512GB of internal storage.
As of now, these are still rumours and more details should leak closer to the launch date.
