is from the company itself. The South Korean giant has accidentally posted a video for its 

upcoming flagship smartphone, alongside the S Pen stylus. Earlier, Samsung had leaked the 

smartphone via its own site. While the earlier post had confirmed some of the design details 

of the Galaxy Note 9,the latest information reveals storage details and more. Also, with less 

than a week remaining for the launch, some reports have tipped the price of the Galaxy 

Note 9.


An official video from Samsung, spotted by SamMobile, showcases a Yellow colour S Pen 

stylus alongside the Blue variant of the Galaxy Note 9. The brief teaser essentially shows 

the overall design of the smartphone, something that was already hinted at in the pre-order 

announcement. However, the most interesting highlight of the latest leak is that the 512GB 

variant of the Galaxy Note 9 has now been confirmed. Also, the 512GB inbuilt storage will 

be expandable up to 1TB via microSD card. Notably, Samsung has pulled the Galaxy Note 

9 video from YouTube now. However, several users have posted the same video on the 

platform.

the phone is not just powerful but "super powerful."The video also affirms most of the things 

that were spotted in the pre-order announcement page.


Further, in the Galaxy Note 9 video, Samsung showcases a Yellow-coloured S Pen. The 

company describes the stylus as "all new powerful," It also shows its physical button being 

pressed.Following this, the company shows off the "all-day battery" of the Galaxy Note 9. In 

terms of storage, Samsung claims the smartphone to be "1 terabyte ready." In the video, 

though not mentioned explicitly, we could see a 512GB microSD card being inserted. There 

is no clarity on whether this variant will come with 8GB of RAM.
