Samsung Galaxy Note9 announcement officially set for August 9

Samsung just sent invites for its next Unpacked event that's going to be held in New York on August 9. The Galaxy Note9 is going to be the star of the show.

What we know so far? In terms of design, the device should be pretty much unchanged. For example, the fingerprint reader placement is expected to go just below the camera setup to avoid any smudges on the camera lens.

Exynos 9810 Octa should take care of the number crunching for the EMEA markets while the US and China will get the Snapdragon 845 as usual. Some rumors suggested a 512GB version of the device but it's probably safe to say that it will offer the standard 64/128/256GB of internal storage and at least 6GB of RAM.

Also, looking at the press invite, we see the S Pen button, which could be a hint at expanded stylus functionality. Some Note fans will surely like this as Samsung hasn't really improved the iconic feature of the Note series lately.

In any case, all of this is just rumors and we will know for sure soon enough.
