If you’re looking forward to significant upgrades on the Galaxy Note 9 this year from Samsung, don’t. The Korean tech giant will follow its usual, slow approach this year on the device and take an even slower pace than it did last year. The device’s predecessor, Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8, was the first high-end mobile gadget from the company with a dual camera setup.

The transition highlighted Samsung’s strategy of introducing new features first on the Note lineup and then proceeding to introduce them on the Galaxy S smartphones. The trend kicked off with the Galaxy Note 4 Edge and continued with a dual camera setup. However, Samsung chose to further refine its camera technology to stay at par with Sony and take the lead with variable apertures.
