Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will make its official debut at the company’s ‘Unpacked’ event in New York on August 9. A 91Mobiles report claims the next-generation Note device will launch in India within a week of its official debut and pre-orders in the country will begin August 19. Now, a dedicated section called ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ is live on Android and iOS app as well as mobile site of Flipkart. The listing suggests the smartphone could be Flipkart exclusive in India.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Flipkart listing page has three teaser videos, which hint at a better processor, bigger battery and more storage space on the new phone. Though it does reveal price, India launch date or any other details, those interested can click on the ‘Notify me’ option to register for updates on Galaxy Note 9. Users will have to sign up with their name, email ID, and phone number.
The 91Mobiles report quotes industry sources, who told the site that Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be launched in India between August 12 to August 16. The phone is said to go on sale in the first week of September. As for pricing, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 base storage model will be priced at Rs 72,990. Of course, Samsung itself has not made details of India launch, pricing, etc official so the report needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is the successor to Galaxy Note 8. The phone is expected to come with Snapdragon 845 processor, improved cameras as well as a 512GB storage option. The S Pen will reportedly get Bluetooth support, a huge improvement in terms of functionality compared to the present S Pen version.
