Some companies carefully guard their products as if they held big secrets. Other companies seem less concerned as long as people keep talking about their products. From everything we've seen on Galaxy Note 9 so far, it looks like Samsung is one of the last..
Of course, it's necessary to point out that we won't actually know what this new laptop is like until it releases at Unpacked on Thursday. But we already have some details about what this new laptop is all about by reading all of these leaks.
There are still many reasons why we must pay attention to this event since this company preferred to announce the release of Galaxy Tab S4 without expecting it. So that would indicate bigger product announcements in the following months..
They have been running multiple rumors over the past few weeks and months. For example, a lot of speculation of a new Samsung Gear watch would first appear in the same event.
On the other hand, Note 9 has already shown itself. Aside from the rumors you heard, there were a few glaring leaks made by Samsung itself, such as a senior executive using the new device in public in a promo video posted on YouTube..
Here's what we know about Note 9 so far.
Design / Display
It is said that the stylistic language has not changed much since the last generation of the device. Indeed, this is the reason why DJ Koh thought he could use this laptop without anyone knowing it. However, onlookers realized that this ruler was using something new.
At first, it was rumored that the fingerprint sensor had been moved. But this time, it is indicated that it is located under the camera and not next to it and that this design resembles that of Note 8 which however leads to an essential complaint that users confuse the lenses of the camera with the fingerprint sensor. digital when they try to unlock the laptop.
Rumors about the dimensions are almost the same. At 161.9 x 76.3 x 8.8mm, this device is slightly shorter than its predecessors because of the thinner bezels on the top and bottom. The 6.4-inch display is a bit larger than the 6.3-inch Note 8's.
Battery / Storage / Performance
From the start, Samsung has made it clear that battery capacity is the primary focus for the new laptop. It appears the company has confirmed rumors that the device will power up on a 4000mAh battery in its joke where it blatantly mocked iPhone's battery capacity, which is smaller than that of Samsung.
Note 9's battery capacity exceeds that of Note 8 by 700mAH and pushes the new device to the top of the laptop battery world. It also contributed to Samsung's recent battery modesty trend, following the Note 7 fiasco. The company apologized greatly and instituted strict guidelines for buyers of this laptop to forgive and forget. this fiasco.
The following jokes were all about the extra storage and improving performance. It is believed that there will be a 512GB version and the price will be high without a doubt. Storage can be increased up to a terabyte through the MicroSD slot.
Camera
We know that camera updates are an essential point in the release of every flagship laptop. But Note 9's camera is still a mystery.
S-Pen
The company's stylus was clearly another important point to pay attention to from the start. Indeed, the Unpacked invitation shows a close-up of the S-Pen button in a yellow background. The revealed video confirms a new lively color scheme that will get a lot of attention.
Samsung has also strongly indicated that it will focus on S-Pen improvements for the new device, but these improvements are yet to be revealed. Features could include no-drawing controls over tasks like playing music and remote unlocking.
Headphone socket
Yes, she still remains. After all, it was only a few weeks ago that Samsung mocked Apple for its "double-dongle" which is used to listen to music and charge the laptop at the same time.
The headphone jack is therefore a key differentiator between Samsung and iPhone laptops for quite some time. So far, all these leaks seem to confirm this fact.
