Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is just days away from launch and everyday something related to the device pops up in the news. Today a video surfaced online that not only shows the design of the smartphone but also confirms other remaining specs. Previously both images of the smartphone and also specifications were leaked. A Lilac Purple clor was also spotted recently.

Now, a new unboxing video has surfaced online, which shows off the device in it’s all glory and also we can see the full specs of the phone from the box! Take a look:

The Galaxy Note 9 device in the video is a black variant and has a similar packaging seen on the Galaxy S9 Plus along the contents of the box. It seems to come with IP68 rated water and dust protection. The  South Korean electronics giant has included a pair of headphones with a smartphone which seems to be the same AKG tuned headphone pair which came with the Galaxy S9 and the S9+. A micro-USB to USB Type-C cable is also there which is a bit weird and seen first time in a retail box.

 The Galaxy Note 9 will feature a 6.2 inch super AMOLED display with a resolution of Quad HD+ and an aspect ratio of 18:5:9. The panel will be similar to the last year’s Note 8 itself with no major design change.

It will be running Exynos 9810/Snapdragon 845 chipset, based on the country. It will be offered in 6GB and 8GB RAM along with 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and 512GB internal storage variants which can be further expanded with a microSD card. It will sport a dual pixel 12MP + 12MP configuration with OIS in the back while offering a 8MP camera in the front.

However the USP of the phablet will be its S-pen, as any other Note model from Samsung. Which received some upgrade like Bluetooth support, increased accuracy and expanded software support for business users confirmed by the recent FCC listing. Rumours even claim integrated microphone and speaker on the S-Pen. Other features include rear mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC, heart rate scanner, iris scanner and a 4,000 mAh battery with wireless charging.

It will be unveiled in August 9 in New York, few days after the IFA 2018 event and is expected to come at a price tag of Rs 65,000 and Rs 80,000 for the base and the top variant respectively. It will be available in Lilac Purple, Coral blue, Midnight Black, Yellow and Brown.

As the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launch approaches, more and more leaks and speculations of the smartphone are doing rounds since the past week. After a couple of live images leak, a new image showing the upcoming phablet in Lilac Purple has surfaced online. Till now we have seen the device in Coral blue and Midnight Black color variants. But a previous reports claims it will be available in 5 colours which means we are yet to two different color options speculated to be  yellow and brown.

The Galaxy Note 9 is almost identical to the Galaxy Note 9 with some upgrades. The infinity display, sensors on the top bezel and the chin is a direct inspiration from its predecessor. However the back carries some differences with the placement of the fingerprint sensor which is now placed below the camera sensors.  Both the back and front sides are covered with curved glass pointing to wireless charging support.

Now in another report, the list of the phone in national telecommunications agency of Brazil, ANATEL further confirms that the Galaxy Note 9 will be powered by a 4,000 mAh battery which is previously claimed to last 2 days.

It will sport a dual camera setup in the rear of 12MP + 12MP configuration while offering a 8MP camera in the front.

However the USP of the phablet will be its special S-pen which received some upgradations like Bluetooth support, increased accuracy and expanded software support for business users confirmed by the recent FCC listing. Rumours even claim integrated microphone and speaker on the S-Pen. The leaked images also confirm the presence of the 3.5 mm headphone jack.It will be unveiled in August 9 in New York, few days after the IFA 2018 event.

OPPO has launched the OPPO F7 in March, this year, as a part of its Selfie centric F-series smartphones. The device came with a 25MP AI-enabled Selfie Camera. Now, the new incoming reports indicate that OPPO might launch a new device i.e. the OPPO F9 as a successor to the F7, in August 2018.

Earlier, the leaked teaser mocked the OPPO F9 launch showcasing dual Cameras at the back, which will be a major upgrade over the existing F7. Further, it doesn’t disclose anything much except for the basic design outline and rounded corners.

Now, the OPPO F9 is reported to clear its Bluetooth Certification as of July 18. The listing reveals the model numbers to be  CPH 1823, CPH 1825 and CPH 1881. Out of these, the CPH 1823 is postulated to be the OPPO F9 or OPPO F9 Pro while the other two are believed to be the same models with different memory configurations.

The device sports the same Bluetooth 4.2 found on the OPPO F7 and RealMe 1, this also hints that the OPPO F9 and F9 Pro might come with the same Helio P60 SoC from MediaTek that was used to power the OPPO F7 and RealMe 1. Additionally, both the devices will support four LTE bands (1/3/5/8) in addition to four GPRS and three WCDMA bands.

To recall, the Oppo F7 was released in certain global markets including India which builds up a strong possibility of the device to land in India as well. However, the F9 Pro is said to be limited to only selected markets. The OPPO F9 will bring several improvements including a well-equipped portrait mode due to the presence of Dual cameras, compared to the single Camera on the F7. An added front-facing flash, 4K support and a better screen to body ratio is what we look forward too. We also expect a Notched Display on both of the devices.

The OPPO F9 and F9 Pro are scheduled to launch in August, this year. Let us wait for further leaks and reports for detailed information about them. Till then, stay tuned.
