Samsung Galaxy Note9 case shows new fingerprint reader position and a new mystery button

09 June 2018
This further backs the theory that next Note will go with a Galaxy S9 style fingerprint placement.

        Unbelievable. I skipped the Note8 because of the fps location and totally expected the Note9 to follow the S9 design, which has a better fps location. I can't believe they're now ruining it again by making it, AGAIN, too high to reach.

          So Samsung isn't happy enough to make us suffer from accidentally clicking it, that they had to make another one for us to keep using it??

            Current Note 8 will continue to be the form factor for the next two iterations. iPhone X will also more or less remain same for another couple of years.

            ASUS ROG, RED are going to provide necessary thrust for advancement in design. Or, until Samsung boldly announce their foldable Galaxy X series.

              Well the mistery button will turn your phone into small parts so you can attach each to other like when playing puzzle.
              The fingerprint scanner should be in front like my Moto X4 having the scanner at backk isnt very clever my opinion,

                camera design look disgusting.

                            Curved screen is bad and ugly. I prefer notch to curved screen.

                            The price will be above 1000 usd though. Nonsense overpriced samsung phone.

                              Mystery button is for Hide/Unhide the notch.

                                Luxor, 09 Jun 2018Nothing much to see. The design definitely wont be the spot... moreLet's wait what Samsung has to offer new features though!

                                  Nothing much to see. The design definitely wont be the spotlight this year. I bet they will emphasize on new features during launch day. Being radical with Note9 is not too wise. Better wait for next year.

                                    .. My bad about the button placement. As I did not notice that the case is indeed showing its back but may have been a mirrored picture. As the extra button is indeed inline with the bixby button

                                      .. Basing on the clear case, the button is on the lower right hand side as the case is picture back side. It could be a camera shutter button. Probably the next Note X or 10 will have another button, lol. I dont have the money to buy it but still the fingerprint sensor could been lowered atleast, as for a tall device it may be hard to reach. Just my opinion though

                                        Wow. Fingerprint scanner is still not good though, but the squarish type makes it more sense to locate and still higher than I thought.
                                        I wonder what's that mystery button by the way...
