Samsung is going to officially announce the Galaxy Note 9 today but the company could be apprehensive about the sales performance of its upcoming flagship. The upcoming iPhones and the Huawei Mate 20 Pro will also be released on the heel of the Note 9 announcement and fans might sit out the Galaxy Note 9 launch because of those all-screen iPhone models, along with the compelling features of the Mate 20 Pro such as the triple camera system, giant battery, flexible OLED display, and in-screen fingerprint sensor.

Samsung’s fears are not unfounded. The Galaxy S9 series tanked at the smartphone sales box office and the Note 9 is not a lot different than the Galaxy S9 Plus. Moreover, there is no mystery around the device as a lot of the specifications were revealed ahead of time, some by Samsung itself.
