Samsung Galaxy Note 9 specs, release date, news and rumours: What's new on Samsung Note 9



The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 launched last September, while we've recently seen the Galaxy S9 and S9+ released, too.

Next up is the Galaxy Note 9, which we're expecting to be the usual souped-up respin of the Galaxy S9 series - that means we're not expecting it to be a massive leap on from the Note 8, just a subtle introduction of a few new features.

A set of 3D renders of what is supposedly the new model were published Thursday on 91mobiles, along with a 360-degree video, confirming Bloomberg's report that the Note 9 “will look similar to last year's model.” Almost a month ago noted leakster @UniverseIce tweeted two images of devices side by side, one being the likely version that will be unveiled, a Note 8 lookalike, the other a slightly wider version with less top and bottom bezel captioned “Samsung can achieve this design...But still gives us such a design” (on the lookalike model). 
The poster hypothesized that such a similar design "may be to save manufacturing costs”. Another tweet projected that if "lucky, you will see 8GB RAM and 512GB ROM Galaxy Note 9”.
