Samsung CEO DJ Koh has been accidentally photographed using the Galaxy Note 9 at a media event held in China. While Koh didn’t officially tease the upcoming device in public, a photo of him using the Galaxy Note 9 went viral. The image was captured by @ShungNin, SamMobile reports.
The image, leaked online, appears to show Koh holding the device covered inside a case. The phone apparently looks a lot similar to the Galaxy Note 8, however, the placement of a fingerprint scanner has been completely changed.

During the event, Koh reportedly told the media that the S Pen would have “many new features”, although he didn’t discuss those in public. Word on the street is that the S Pen will come equipped with Bluetooth technology that can be used for multiple functions, including the ability to play/pause music and use the stylus as a camera shutter button for selfies.
As far as the device is concerned, the Galaxy Note 9 is expected to pack a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display, either a Snapdragon 845 or Exynos 9810 processor, 6 or 8GB RAM, up to 512GB of internal memory, dual-camera setup, and a massive 4000mAh battery. Samsung has already confirmed that the Galaxy Note 9 will be made its official debut on August 9 in New York. According to a report on ET News, Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will go on sale two weeks later on August 24.
