We are only a few days away from the public unveiling of Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and leaks keep coming to tease us with a closer look at the South Korean major's next flagship device. Now, a hands-on video has been leaked revealing the Galaxy Note 9 in its full glory. The video, which has been shot by the UK-based accessory maker Mobile Fun, confirms some of the things we already know about the Galaxy Note 9. First of all, the Note 9 appears to be look identical to its predecessor - the Galaxy Note 8, in terms of the design language. There will be a change on the back, however, with the introduction of a redesigned fingerprint scanner which now sits below the camera setup. Unfortunately, the screen doesn't turn on in the leaked video, but the phone seems to appear as a real device and not a mockup. Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is one of the most anticipated smartphones expected to hit the market in 2018. The Note 9 will be a premium device and will be pitched against the 2018 iPhone X and Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The smartphone is expected to feature either a Snapdragon 845 processor or an Exynos 9810 chipset. What might be interesting about the Note 9 is its battery. The Note 9 is said to have a 4000mAh battery, making it one of the largest in a high-end phone. Plus, of course, the S Pen will be another highlight of the Galaxy Note 9. Rumours suggest that Bluetooth function will allow the S Pen to control music playback or use it as a remote camera shutter.
