Samsung launches new Galaxy Note 9 a month before Apple unveils new iPhones 2018

Samsung this morning issued press invitations for an Unpacked event on Thursday, Aug. 9, and is expected to unveil the next-generation Galaxy Note 9.

The media invitation sent by Samsung, shared by Internal business, seems to feature the S Pen button of the Galaxy Note, the accessory that Samsung sells with its Galaxy Note devices.



Samsung usually hosts two major smartphone events a year as it launches the Galaxy Note line and the Galaxy S9 line at different times. The Galaxy S9, for example, was launched in February, while the Galaxy Note 8, predecessor of Note 9, made its appearance last August.

Dividing its smartphone launch dates allows Samsung to better compete with Apple by unveiling new technologies before and after the launch of the iPhone.

The launch of Galaxy Note 9 will arrive just a month before when Apple is expected to unveil its 2018 iPhones, which are expected to include a second-generation 5.8-inch OLED iPhone, a larger 6.5-inch OLED iPhone that can be considered as a kind of "iPhone X Plus", and a 6.1-inch LCD that will be more affordable.

Samsung will then follow the 2018 iPhones with new Galaxy S10 devices in February 2019, if it sticks to its smartphone launching habits.

Like the Galaxy Note 8, the Galaxy Note 9 should continue to offer an edge-to-edge AMOLED display with dashboard and S Pen support, as well as two cameras and a rear fingerprint sensor.

Rumors suggest that the Galaxy Note 9 will not feature a notch, and that it could have slightly smaller upper and lower edges than the Note 8, resulting in a smaller 2mm chbadis. It is also expected that improvements will be made to S Pen, and although early rumors point to a fingerprint sensor on the screen, Samsung does not seem to be moving in that direction.

Samsung's Galaxy Note line has been under scrutiny after the 2016 Galaxy Note 7 was hit by faulty batteries that caused fires and injuries to several people. Samsung has finally had to recall all Galaxy Note 7 devices, which have also been banned by the airlines.

Samsung has decided to continue with the note line through Galaxy Note 8 of 2017, which has suffered no major problem.
