We are just a few days away from the official launch of Samsung Galaxy Note 9, but it seems the company is in a bit of a rush. Samsung's official website accidentally put up the Galaxy Note 9 pre-order listing, confirming a lot of the features ahead of the August 9, 2018 launch, Cnet reported.

The Galaxy Note 9 will retain the 3.5mm headphone jack and feature a rear fingerprint sensor, dual-camera setup, and an upgraded S-Pen stylus. 

According to previous reports, it has been suggested that the S Pen, will receive its ‘biggest update ever’ for the Galaxy Note smartphone. A China-based serial tipster Ice Universe has claimed that the Galaxy Note 9 S Pen will essentially be a portable Bluetooth controller. As the device will have support for Bluetooth, the S Pen could be used for triggering a long-range remote self-timer and for controlling music playback as well. Apart from this, the S Pen is said to bring in many more features too.

Earlier reports suggested that the release of the Galaxy Note 9 was delayed from the end of July to the beginning of August as Samsung’s vice chairman Lee Jae-Yong wanted to make the device thinner, by reducing the display cover glass by approximately 0.5mm. This could have been achieved by lessening the footprint of the glass designed to protect the OLED panel.

The purported Samsung Galaxy Note 9 was spotted on Geekbench a few months ago. The listing revealed that the device will feature Exynos 9810 SoC and sports model number SM-N960N. It stated that the smartphone will include 6GB RAM and run Android 8.1 Oreo. In terms of rumoured specifications, the device will feature a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with an aspect ratio of 18.5:9. It will be backed up by a 4000mAh battery.

Samsung is also likely to debut the latest-generation version of its Bixby intelligent personal assistant in the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 smartphone. It is then expected to roll out progressively to the brand's other compatible devices during the remainder of 2018 and into 2019.

Samsung has confirmed that the upcoming Galaxy Note 9 will launch on August 9 at an event in New York.
