Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Updates

By now the speculations, gossips, leaks and rumours weigh more than reality on Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The company seems to be waiting for the Mobile World Congress (MWC) tradeshow in Barcelona on Sunday, the 25th February 2018.

Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 (US models) or Exynos 9810 (overseas) processor is the possible candidate.

Samsung may do away with the in-display fingerprint sensor.
