Why the Biggest "Myths" About Galaxy Note 9 Appears May Actually Be Right

A set of new photos, allegedly depicting the Samsung  Galaxy Note 9, have been leaked online. Getting our hands on what is possibly some of the first real-life photos of Samsung's upcoming phablet flagship is not all that surprising at this point, considering how close it is to launch.

Galaxy Note 9 from both the back and the front

The three photos, leaked by user Samsung Mobile. News on SlashLeaks, show off the Galaxy Note 9 from both the back and the front. Curiously (and unfortunately), in one of the pictures, the alleged Note 9 is shown with a broken screen a crack running from the mid-lower portion of the screen all the way up to the top-left corner.

The back of Note 9 in one of the pictures, as well as the "About phone Settings screen in the other. The model number is shown in Settings (SM-N960U) seems to be consistent with Samsung's model numbering scheme (the Galaxy note 8 was SM-N950).

Other than that, the back of the device looks to be completely in line with previous rumors about the Galaxy Note 9 – horizontal, dual-cam setup with the fingerprint scanner beneath. The two stickers on the back also look legitimate, with the first containing edited-out IMEI number and a visible model number that's consistent with what is shown in Settings.

Speaking of Settings

Speaking of Settings, the photo with the broken Galaxy Note 9 also shows an update that's being downloaded onto the device. If the Chinese writing is to be believed, the update includes the August 1st Android security patch.
