THE SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 9 will be unveiled in just a few days time, with a launch set for 9 August.
That’s good news for fans of big-screened mobes, as the Note 9 is expected to pack a sizable 6.38in display, bigger than the Note 8’s 6.32in offering. It could also be the first Samsung flagship to tout an in-screen fingerprint scanner, according to some reports, while others have claimed that the technology won’t be ready for the handset’s rumoured July unveiling.
Price
According to a report from WinFuture, pricing for the Galaxy Note 9 will start from €1,050 (£935), which will bag you the 128GB variant. The highest-spec 512GB model will reportedly fetch as much as €1,250 (£1,115).
However, a leaked pre-order poster from Indonesia claims the 128GB and 512GB models will fetch around £714 and £926 SIM-free, respectively.
