But according to other Note 9 rumors floating around, we anticipate that the phone will cost more than $1,000 and launch in retail stores on Aug. 29. It's also expected to be bundled with the popular game Fortnite and retain its dual rear-cameras. > But while these rumors help Samsung to get people curious about the phone, selling it is a different matter. During the company's quarterly earnings release in July, Samsung reported that the high-end smartphone market was "stagnant" and characterized the sale of its Galaxy S9 flagship phone as "slow." According to market analyst IHS Markit, Samsung's shipments also fell 11 percent to 70.8 million units, compared to the previous year.
