Recall to the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 specifications and features: The device is rumored to have a design similar to last year’s Galaxy Note 8 but include a larger battery pack and more color options than its predecessor. It has a curved Super AMOLED ‘Infinity Display’ panel similar as Note 8. However, the weight of the device is said to be slightly increased due to a larger 4000mAh battery pack than the 3300mAh battery pack available on its predecessor.
Galaxy Note 9 comes with a horizontal dual rear camera setup instead of the vertical dual rear camera setup featured on the Galaxy Note 8. It is also reported that the rear camera setup will have variable aperture support, similar to the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. It is said to have an improved optical image stabilization (OIS) as well as few video enhancements. It is expected that Samsung will use the ISOCELL Plus technology to deliver an overall improved imaging experience.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will pack Qualcomm SoC for the version made for US and South Korean regions, while its global versions will come with an Exynos SoC. The base version would have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of native storage, though it would also come in 8GB RAM and 256GB storage as well as 8GB RAM and 512GB storage configurations.
