It’s rumored that the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 will be announced on August 9, and a date that close is looking ever more likely now, as the phone has seemingly just been approved by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).

We say seemingly, because the phone isn’t referred to by name, but it’s a Samsung handset with the model number SM-N960F (alongside variants with the numbers SM-N960X and SM-N960F/DS, one of which might be a dual-SIM model), and that’s in line with previous Note handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, which has the model number SM-N950.
