Although the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was released only a few months ago, but you think that there is still a long time before the rumors from the Galaxy Note 9, then you are wrong. Yes, there are already rumors about the Galaxy Note 9, Although it is rare, there are definitely. So if you are interested in the next generation of Galaxy Note 9, you may wish to take a look at the rumors about the current Galaxy Note 9 on the market.
Name and release time
Continuing with the Galaxy Note 8 Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy Note 9 will also be a continuation of the Galaxy Note 8. So while Samsung is working on Galaxy Note 9, it is still continuing to evolve on Note 8 rather than re-creating it.
According to previous news, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is internally developed under the symbol 'Crown' and the model number is SM-N960U. From the point of view of the code name, Samsung seems to position the Galaxy Note 9 as the culmination of the smartphone industry. Machine King, its performance will undoubtedly affect Samsung's position in the smart phone industry.
A report from Samsung's own home shows that the Galaxy Note 9 may be available one to two months ahead of schedule. This forecast is based on reports that Samsung will begin manufacturing OLED panels for the upcoming flagship product this month. The company will start this process in June, but it is now two months ahead of schedule. So, if this information is accurate, then we can expect that Galaxy Note 9 will be launched in the market as early as July or August.
design
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is made of metal and glass, as well as a double-sided curved screen, dual cameras and a rear fingerprint recognition sensor. It looks somewhat similar to the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, but is more angular and it also comes with an S Pen. Everything is the same as we expected.
Although there is currently no rumor about the design of Galaxy Note 9, we would not be surprised if Samsung adopted a style similar to Galaxy Note 8. If this is the case, we will see thinner at the top and bottom edges of the screen. The border, the side is almost a curved screen, the front of the entire Galaxy Note 9 is completely unframed, it looks like an upgraded version. It is unclear how this style of Samsung will be used for a few years, but in the past few years, Samsung The performance is not bad, so there will not be much reason for change.
One thing we can be sure of is that the Galaxy Note 9 will certainly have a built-in S Pen stylus, and according to interviews with Samsung executives, this will be an improved version of the configuration. At the same time Galaxy Note 9 is also possible with the Galaxy Note 8 The same support IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating, configuration is also the flagship level next year.
Display screen
The Samsung Galaxy Note series is the company's largest screen smartphone series, so it should maintain this tradition in a short period of time. The Galaxy Note series is also considered the beginning of the tablet phone. Now, the entire smart phone industry is facing With the development of the big screen, no one has said the name of a 'tablet phone'. The big screen has become the standard.
Traditionally, the Galaxy Note series has been a 5.7-inch display before, but this rule has changed since the Galaxy Note 8. The Galaxy Note 8 has a 6.3-inch screen that is slightly larger than the Galaxy S9+. However, due to Infinity Display Screen design style, Galaxy Note 8 Although the screen is larger, but the body size did not change too much, and the screen aspect ratio also stretched from the original 16:9 to 18.5:9.
We expect the screen size of the Galaxy Note 9 to be consistent with the Galaxy Note 8, because the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ are 5.8-inch and 6.2-inch screens as the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, respectively. We also hope to see the Galaxy Note 9 on the Galaxy Note 9. Mobility HDR function, after all, like the Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 8, the Super AMOLED screen of the Galaxy Note 9 is full of vitality in color and has a lot of effects.
In terms of resolution, there may be some improvement. There is no doubt that in the coming months, we will see rumors of the Galaxy Note 9 equipped with a 4K ultra HD display. Although there is currently no resolution on the Galaxy Note 9 Slim, but at least it will reach the same level as the Galaxy Note 8, which is 2960 × 1140 pixels, pixel density of 522ppi.
Screen recognition
All along, there have been rumors that Samsung is developing under-the-screen fingerprinting technology. According to a newly approved patent, Samsung has not given up on this idea.
Samsung submitted the patent to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and was recently discovered by TechTastic. The patent shows a smartphone with a fingerprint recognition device and the sensor is located below the screen. According to the patented picture display, The user must place his finger in the specified area before unlocking the phone. Basically, it looks similar to the vivo X20 Plus screen fingerprint version that is currently on the market. In addition to visual recognition technology, a vibration feedback mechanism is provided during recognition.
However, despite many previous news and rumours that Samsung will adopt a more advanced fingerprint recognition technology on the Galaxy Note 9 released in the second half of the year, KGI analyst Guo Mingyi believes that under-screen fingerprint recognition technology will not appear on Galaxy. Note 9's body.
This week, in an investor report, Guo Mingjun stated that these functions expected by the outside world will be postponed once again, because both ultrasound and optical technology solutions do not meet Samsung's technical standards.
Guo Mingxi said: 'According to our understanding of these technologies, the current fingerprint identification program may have many technical issues to face, such as screen panels under different environmental influences show different recognition rates and power consumption.
In spite of this, Guo Mingjiu is very optimistic about the prospect of such technology under the screen fingerprint recognition. He believes that this technology is an important part of the realization of a full-screen smart phone design in the future.
camera
The Galaxy Note 8 is Samsung's first dual camera-equipped smart phone, although competitors have actually increased this configuration from an early date. Including Apple, LG, Huawei, etc. The Galaxy Note 9 will continue to provide this feature, After all, currently, dual cameras have gradually become the standard for flagship smartphones.
At the same time, the Galaxy Note 8 also brings dual optical image stabilization features. This is the first time that the dual camera on the smartphone supports optical image stabilization. Later, Apple also did this on the iPhone 8 and iPhone X. It is doubtful that this feature will still be continued on the Galaxy Note 9 and there may be greater improvements. We also hope that the Galaxy Note 9 camera, like the Galaxy Note 8, will have a telephoto and wide-angle configuration, and the best Not Huawei's color RGB sensor + black and white sensor mode.
It is unclear whether Samsung will improve the resolution of the camera, but there is no doubt that, even if the pixels are not improved, there will be many improvements in the camera of the new generation of devices. Samsung has previously stated that the camera is the main feature of people buying smart phones. Therefore, Samsung will continue to pay close attention. Taking into account the Galaxy Note 8's camera effects have been very good, so it is now forecasting what improvements will be Galaxy Note 9 is still too early.
We also hope to see the same function of the iris as the Galaxy Note 7, Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, and Samsung will go even further. For example, the current Apple face recognition function on the iPhone X can appear on Samsung. It is not clear, but if the embedded fingerprint recognition sensor is implemented, facial recognition is less important.
Hardware Configuration
The Samsung Galaxy Note series has always been the flagship of the market, so it is definitely the best choice on the market, even if we don't know what it looks like. On the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+, Samsung will be equipped with the Snapdragon 845 processor. Therefore, this configuration will naturally continue to the Galaxy Note 9. Of course, some regions will also use Samsung's own Exynos processor, but the performance will reach a uniform level.
Galaxy Note 8 is equipped with 6GB of running memory, so Galaxy Note 9 is at least this level, also includes 64GB of storage space, and supports microSD card expansion. Battery capacity is currently relying on guessing. Since the Galaxy Note 8 battery is 3300mAh, so Galaxy Note 9 should be no different. After all, USB Type-C, wireless charging and fast charging functions are all supported. At the same time as Samsung acquired Harman Group, so there are also places worth looking forward to in the sound effects. After all, Galaxy S9, Galaxy S9+ and Galaxy Note 8 comes with AKG headphones in the package, Galaxy Note 9 should not be worse.
system
The Galaxy Note 9 will likely come pre-installed with the Android Oreo system and the Samsung TouchWiz interface, and there will definitely be some additional features. Compared to the Galaxy Note 8, the Galaxy Note 9 will have a newer design, although it is not yet certain that there will be Which changes, but after all as a new flagship, will certainly be better than when the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ were released.
What new features do we hope to see on the Galaxy Note 9?
1, screen recognition
This is a very long-rumored saying that it is awkward to put a fingerprint recognition sensor on the back of a mobile phone. Therefore, if it can be embedded in the screen, it is both convenient and technical to use. If Galaxy Note 9 can own this feature, it will stand out among many competitors.
We can be sure that Samsung is currently trying to solve this problem. Whether it can appear on the Galaxy Note 9 will depend on Samsung's progress.
2, better sound
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 has many perfect places, but it does not include its speakers.
The Galaxy Note 8 is only equipped with a single speaker at the bottom, so for the Galaxy Note 9, we need at least two speakers, preferably on the front of the phone so that when we look at the screen, the sound will be positive Head to us.
Taking into account the Galaxy Note 9's size is not small, so even four speakers are possible, so as to bring real sound.
3, The Better Bixby Voice Assistant
Bixby is one of the key new features that Samsung has equipped on the flagship model since 2017. However, at present, there is still much room for improvement, and its progress is also very worthy of the expectations of Samsung fans.
When Samsung released the Galaxy Note 9, we hope it can become a real competitor to Google Assistant and Siri.
But no matter what the result, we need Samsung to rethink the practice of designing physical buttons for Bixby, because not everyone needs it.
4, two days of battery life
Samsung is very cautious about the Galaxy Note 8 battery. This is excusable. We all know the Galaxy Note 7's 'explosive door' time, so Samsung should make sure that no similar happens to the Galaxy Note 8. time.
And the fast charging technology of Galaxy Note 8 is not as fast as the previous Samsung products.
Maybe Samsung is out of security considerations, but if Samsung can find a way to keep the Galaxy Note 9's battery life lasting for two days and achieve true fast charging without risking greater danger, we will I am very happy to see this situation.
5, Improved facial recognition
Although iPhone X's Face ID is currently the most popular facial recognition tool, in fact, iPhone X is not the first product to support facial recognition technology. Although Galaxy Note 8 is not, but it does support this technology, but the security needs to be improved. , because one photo can deceive Galaxy Note 8's face recognition function.
So for the Galaxy Note 9, we hope to improve the security of face recognition and be better than before. If you can prove to be as reliable as the iPhone X, then Galaxy Note 9 will become a real winner.
6, reasonable price
Considering that Galaxy Note 9 should be one of the most powerful smartphones in 2018, we do not expect Galaxy Note 9 to cost less than Galaxy Note 8.
If the function continues to increase, the Galaxy Note 9 will launch an impact on the market for Apple's high-end smartphones. Even $999 is very likely.
7, narrower border
The front of the Galaxy Note 8 is almost covered by the screen, but there is still a part of the border at the top and bottom of the screen.
We hope that Samsung can completely eliminate or further reduce the thickness of the border on the Galaxy Note 9 and even be able to turn it into a true borderless smartphone.
