Samsung Galaxy Note9 may launch early and it's Galaxy S9's fault

29 March 2018
Analysts say the early 2018 flagship isn't selling as well as expected, so the late 2018 flagship may not be so late after all.

        Fix you outrageous pricing for the S9/Plus and people will start buying them! Simple solution!

          Samsung battery sucks!

            Unless this Note 9 or any future Note comes with significant added uses, perhaps an innovative way to run Windows locally in DeX mode, wouldn't be compelled enough to upgrade my Note 8 for the next 5 years.

                We need robust phones not more of the same.

                MILT STD 810 G is a must
                Bigger screen 6.5
                256 gb hdd
                8 gb ram
                5000 MAh battery
                Without these you will have low sales

                  it seems iphone is the best it last at least 4 years, without slow downs or lags. people havent got the money to change phones. samsung phones start giving problems after 6 months and most android phones its very frustrating and people are getting fed up. so sort it android other wise get ready to go down while apple moves up.

                    personally i want a smaller note 9 with a bigger battery and no bezels that's why s9 isn't selling its not as far ahead as Huawei, xiaomi etc its lagging behind

                      The FUD machine is running on auto. Browse back through every year after the first Galaxy Note and this story is there with the only main difference being the numbering for the models.
                      The Note will launch when the Note launches. The Note has never been Samsung's big flagship seller, for size reasons, it has however been the biggest FUD source for bloggers as the narrative works if you don't think on it as a reader.

                        Early launch could bring with it more glitches and teething problems than otherwise. Take your time optimizing and ironing things, September is fine, no one is desperate or in a rush to get it half-baked.

                          just decrease the prize and people will surely buy it.it is because u kept using same camera sensor with only upgradedable aperture and software other than that it's nothing.just learn from huawei how they make a comeback and reach number 2 in smartphone

                            My Note 4 has failed, and i HAVE TO look elsewhere as Samsung imposes unwanted curved screen with lots of glares, at the same time hilariously overpricing Note 8, S8/S8+.

                            WE NEED FLAT SCREEN WITH 3.5mm jack.

                              If the purchases of the new models decreases enough, manufacturers could consider lengthen the product life time of their new model. I would welcome such move if Phone can move in such way. Tab, PAD had changed in that way. 18months or longer development time for a new model.

                              Stay up to date is the natural behavior of an enthusiast.

                                  Not really. The simple truth here is the early availability of the SD845 and Exynos. The Note is always a few months away from the S. While the S, launched early since the parts are already available.

                                  It can be argued though that they accelerated the release of SoCs for an early launch of flagship Android smartphones.

                                      there is no need to rush phone incomplete. Just hold, until the yield and tech is there.

                                        All manufacturers need to note the roll out of 5G
                                        AT&T may be the first to implement a 5G service, launching the Note 9 early and say it is 4G will certainly kill sales https://gsmarena.com/at_t_planslaunch_real_mobile_5g_2018-news-28987.php

                                        IMO the S9 may be a victim of being a 4G phone launched in a 5G imminent era.
                                        A contract is typically 2 years so starting a contract now means it is 2020

                                        The upgrade is tweaking features, the major upgrade is being 5G ready, e.g.the difference between the S10 and the S9 could be the S10 is a 5G ready version of the S9

                                        Apple iPhone 2018 certainly will 5G ready, (or not) however shoppers may switch from Ios to Samsung if the Note9 is 5G or [if on Android switch to IOS the Note 9 is early and 4G IPhones are 4G
