Here's everything we know about the Galaxy Note 9!
Now more than ever, Samsung's Galaxy S+ phones are becoming eerily similar to the Note series. The Note used to be Samsung's way of touting all of the latest and greatest tech it had to offer, and while this is still the case, the same can be said for this year's Galaxy S9+.
Samsung needs more than just the S Pen to make the Note 9 stand out from its own phones and the rest of the competition, and luckily, all signs are pointing to something exciting for this year's release. Here's what we know so far!
June 13, 2018 — A large 4,000 mAh battery might be present
There are a lot of aspects that make the Note series unique, and one of those has long been huge batteries. The Note 7 had the largest to-date in 2016 at 3,500 mAh, but after those started exploding and catching fire, Samsung decided to play it safe in 2017 by kicking things down to 3,300 mAh in the Note 8.
This year, however, Samsung might start going back in the right direction. According to Ice Universe on Twitter who's been fairly accurate about Samsung rumors in the past, they're "100% sure" that the Note 9 will come with a 4,000 mAh battery.
June 6, 2018 — This is what the Galaxy Note 9 might look like
We've been talking about the Galaxy Note 9 for months at this point, but up until now, we haven't had a definitive idea as to what the phone will look like. Thankfully, 91Mobiles partnered with @OnLeaks to scratch that itch for us.
As you can see in the video above, the Note 9 will look very similar to last year's Note 8. The front will be home to a large, notch-free Infinity Display while the back houses two rear cameras and a fingerprint sensor. The way the cameras and fingerprint sensor are positioned is slightly different compared to the Galaxy S9, but even so, there's no mistaking this for a modern Samsung phone.
The bottom frame also shows a slot for the S Pen, USB-C port for charging the Note 9, a speaker grill, and 3.5mm headphone jack.
What specs can we look forward to?
Samsung's Galaxy Note phones are always home to some of the best specs around, and the Note 9 shouldn't be any different.
Based on the current rumor mill and what we've seen from other 2018 flagships, here's what we think we'll see this year.

When will the Galaxy Note 9 be released?
Samsung typically releases its Galaxy Note series in the second-half of the year, often in mid-to-late August.
According to a report from Bloomberg on June 1, Samsung plans on unveiling the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 in New York City. Samsung's yet to confirm this information, but based on past Note releases, we have no reason to believe it's false.
How much will the Galaxy Note 9 cost?
Pricing for the Note series has steadily been going up each year, as has the majority of the smartphone industry.
The Galaxy Note 8 costs $950 unlocked, and I'd expect the Note 9 to cost either the same or slightly more. Apple proved with the iPhone X that people aren't afraid to shell out $1000+ for a new smartphone, and I don't consider it to be out of the question for Samsung to follow suit with the Note 9 – especially if it adopts newer technologies like an in-display fingerprint sensor.
