In view of the fact that Apple is going to release three iPhones this year, we’ve heard that the Galaxy Note 9 might launch earlier than usual. Apple has widely been speculated to be working on an affordable LCD iPhone that is set to rock sales. However, Samsung has taken its first steps towards an eventual launch of the Galaxy Note 9.
The handset has passed CMIIT (China Ministry of Industry and Information Technology). According to Letsgodigital.nl, the model number Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N908) is a Chinese variant. The handset has passed electronics emission test recently but this is just initial certification.

As Samsung laid a lot of emphasis on the cameras of the Galaxy S9, the Galaxy Note 9 will be all about the S Pen, rumours suggest. Reports have long been seesaw-ing between yes and no over the in-display fingerprint reader. However, the handset will most likely feature a Snapdragon 845, 6GB of RAM and a 6.4-inch Infinity Display. Rumours peg the phablet to sport a 4,000mAh battery.
Reports say that Samsung may be gunning for an Autumn release instead of a Summer launch. For the certification details, they can be viewed here and here.
