First Note 9 benchmark reveals Infinity display, Android Oreo

While Samsung may have shattered all our dreams for a groundbreaking 7nm chipset in the Note 9 with a single press release saying "in the first quarter, earnings are expected to rise on the ramp-up of 2nd generation 10nm process products for this year’s flagship smartphones," all else is still in play for the phablet.

By all else we mean Samsung's second-gen Infinity Display like on the Galaxy S9, which sports even thinner bezels all around, higher brightness with lower reflections, and 20% thicker Gorilla Glass 5 on top of it for added protection. Why do we think the Note 9 will have an Infinity Display to begin with?

Well, its first benchmark may have just leaked, tucked inside the HTML5 browser test database. There, a device with a screen ratio of 18.5:9 is marked as Samsung SM-N960U. Given that the Note 8 is SM-N950, it's not hard to deduce that Samsung is hard at work on a Note 9 already, now that the Galaxy S9 announcement is already behind it.

The Note 9 is laden with the Samsung Experience 8.0 browser, meaning that the phone will be running Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, and, hopefully, with Project Treble on board, the update to Android 9.0 P, or whatever Google announces in May, won't be far behind.

iPhone XS, Galaxy Note9, Pixel 3XL....they're all gonna be great devices that suite our own individual needs. The one that's champ, is the one that you yourself love.

We need more people like you on this site. They are all going to be great devices and no device is going to be dramatically better than the other. If you like iOS then the XS is going to be a great phone for you. If you like a stylus and some Samsung software feautures then the Note is going to be great for you. I personally found that Pixel devices have better performance than my previous Samsung devices and that's what I value most. Also it helps that the last two Pixels had amazing cameras.

Got a chance to get my hands on the S9+ last night and it's a beauty and a beast! It's crazy fast and just as smooth as it is fast! 0 lag has most of the new features the note 8 got and yes, the home screen rotates! I watched the infinity war trailer on it and the stereo speakers blew me away! I didn't think Samsung could improve from the Note 8 but they definitely have. The Note 9 is going to be crazy if it's anything like the S9 update is. It will definitely be the King of 2018...

The screen seemed just as bright to me when I compared my note 8 to it... I'll more than likely have all three of those phones...

Might be the unit I played with has diffrent calibration than note 8! The good thing about S9 plus easy to handle unlike Note 8 taller, but still kinda small despite it’s an 6.2 inch maybe my hand getting bigger cause of note 8 Lol.

Note 8 comes with 64, 128 and 256 btw, but not for all regions. I think Note 9 going to comes with all option same as S9 and S9 plus or mayabe Samsung going to release 512gb with note 9 mayabe Note 10.

S9 is already king, it already dethroned iPhone x for the world's best camera and display by dxomark and display mate respectively. Phonearena is too slow to post the iphone-negative-news as usual.

2018 is already shaping to be great but...

I must say that flagships from any given manufacturer will be all equally great.
Samsung S9
Samsung Note9
Iphone Xs
LG Judy
LG V40
Sony XZ2
Essential PH-2
Oneplus 6
HTC U12
Google Pixel 3
Razor Phone 2
Moto Z3
Huawei P20
Xiaomi Mix 2s
And the list goes on...

Wow, barely any comments on PA articles these days. Serves them right for banning good trolls. Is this website dying due to lack of interest and weak comment section? Maybe. Oh well, life goes on.

When Will We get in the US Market the Larger Storage Options above the 64GB version?!
Years ago, 64GB was a Ton of Storage, but today it's NOT.
We Want and NEED MORE BUILT-IN STORAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
