New Galaxy Note 9 Leak Reveals Samsung's Stunning Surprise

The benchmarking also confirms a number of expected details, The screen ratio of 18.5:9 is slightly taller and narrower than flagship smartphone standards and heavily implies that Samsung’s infinity scene concept will be retained. The handset is also running the eighth version of Android, Android 8.0 Oreo (although given six months until availability I’m confident that the phablet will ship with Android 8.1).
It’s also disappointing (but not unexpected) to see a Qualcomm SnapDragon 845 system-on-chip being reported. Thanks to historical licensing and the 4G LTE frequencies used by some networks, Samsung will be using these chips in certain territories, including the US.
Assuming that the Note 9 handsets available in the rest of the world will be using Samsung’s own Exynos chipsets, that means that the North American Note 9 handsets will be down on raw power and a number of potential features will have to be throttled back on the Exynos-powered phablets to ensure a continuity of capability across the entire family of devices.
This is a similar situation to the Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus, recently launched at Mobile World Congress, where Super-Slow-Mo shows off the problem. Although review units will confirm just how close they are, it appears that the SnapDragon-powered handsets running the slower video capture are operating at ‘peak power’ while the Exynos-powered handsets have some capacity left over.

">As the world’s mobile press leaves Barcelona, our attention moves on to the next batch of handsets due up later in the year, and that means the presumptively named Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is on deck. And from early leaks it looks like it’s going to be a powerhouse of a phablet.
The early indications come from online benchmarking scores that look over the hardware reported by the mobile web browsers as they are tested. Today’s case is through the online HTML5Test site, with a browser benchmarking score of 522 out of a possible 55 points, reports Adnan F at SamMobile.
