It goes on sale on Aug. 24 with a starting price of $1,000 for the 128GB version but you can reserve the premium handset right now. > As Samsung's newest top tier phone, it naturally draws comparisons to devices like the iPhone X, Google Pixel 2XL and LG V35 ThinQ. But the Galaxy Note 9 falls into an interesting spot in Samsung's phone portfolio especially since, aside from price, it has many similarities to the Galaxy S9 Plus which costs $110 less for 128GB model.
