For the past couple of years, Samsung has had a pretty consistent pattern in the announcement and retail release of its flagship devices belonging to the Galaxy S and Galaxy Note series. Now that the Galaxy S9 has been finally launched, reports are speculating on an early August launch for the so-called Galaxy Note 9.
First, to address the device’s name, Samsung is one of those smartphone manufacturers that do not spend a lot of time debating what their mobile devices are going to be called. And as is very evident with previous announcements, it is safe to assume that Galaxy Note 9 is going to be the upcoming handset’s official name.
As for its launch date, CNET bets that Samsung will go for a very catchy way to advertise the Galaxy Note 9’s unveiling event. And what better way to do that than go for a Sept. 9 occasion at 9:00 a.m. EDT? Just imagine seeing teasers that simply say 9-9-9 and an outline of the device’s design.
However, the same report also noted that Samsung opted for a late August unveiling event for the most recent Galaxy Note iteration. Overall, Samsung is likely going to maintain its strategy of announcing new devices and opening pre-orders earlier than Apple’s expected September launch of new iPhone models.
One of the much-needed upgrades yet to hit any Samsung flagship is the onscreen fingerprint scanner. Notably, Vivo has already beaten Apple and Samsung in doing it with the Vivo X20 Plus UD. So, many smartphone fans might assume that the smartphone-making giants will follow this step anytime in the near future.
However, CNET also reported that sources claim Samsung is simply not ready to launch this feature with the Galaxy Note 9, making the Galaxy S10 the first Samsung device to possibly sport this update. After all, Samsung cannot risk introducing half-baked hardware, drawing lessons from the 2016 fiasco of exploding Galaxy Note 7 batteries.
Meanwhile, it is very likely for Samsung to incorporate the most advanced chipsets available in the market, which include their very own Exynos 9810 and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845, into devices to be shipped to other regions.
