Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 Is Code-named ‘Crown’; Pilot Production, Component Deliveries Will Commence In Early 2018

With 2017 ending soon, it’s time we start looking at the future. It’s been a big year for flagships. We got edge to edge displays, 10nm processors and facial recognition. Safe to say, the industry isn’t what it was even two years back. Manufacturers have moved forward in leaps. Right now, Samsung’s Galaxy S9 and LG next iteration of the ‘G’ lineup will launch in early 2018, if past trends hold. However, it’s the Galaxy Note 9 which makes an early appearance on the rumor mill. Take a look below to find out more.
Apple’s decision to launch Face ID on the iPhone X has put all Android manufacturers on the back foot. And while most makers might use Qualcomm’s solutions to bring facial recognition on their devices as well, it won’t have the same touch. After all, an in-house solution is an in-house solution, meriting more attention and praise than licensed solutions. That being said, today we’ve got some news for the Galaxy Note 9.
These days it’s virtually impossible for manufacturers to keep the wraps on any device, let alone a flagship. Information often leaks out months before launch, with the rumor mill filtering out unnecessary details in the time between. Now, looks like the Galaxy Note 9 is a rumor mill favorite. Today’s leak sheds some light on its production cycle and internal codename.
The device gets an internal code-name of ‘Crown’, hinting at strong plans. Earlier rumors for the Note 9 suggest that the device will deliver where its predecessors failed. Samsung’s rumored to launch it with virtual fingerprint recognition, skipping the feature on the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Furthermore, three different suppliers are rumored to provide Seoul with the necessary parts for under the screen fingerprint recognition.
If the Note 9, and not the Galaxy S9, features virtual fingerprint recognition, expect market attitudes to shift for Samsung’s devices. Already, the Note lineup is the only one with dual cameras. With fingerprint sensing thrown in the mix, Samsung will effectively create two different product categories, and users will focus their attention on the Note 9 instead. Thoughts? Let us know what you think in the comments section below and stay tuned. We’ll keep you updated on the latest.

Samsung is already working hard on the Galaxy Note 9

The Galaxy Note 8 may be the hottest iPhone X alternative available in stores right now, but Samsung will reportedly start the work on the next best thing as soon as early 2018.
That’s hardly surprising, considering that similar reports said that the Galaxy S9 development started ahead of schedule earlier this year.

The Note 9 project is being developed under the codename “crown,” according to a report from The Investor, and the first prototype might be ready early next year.
“We will start providing components for a pilot production (of the Galaxy Note 9) in the first quarter next year,” an official at a parts supplier told The Bell.
Smartphone codenames are believed to be subtle indicators of Samsung’s plans. The Note 8 was known internally as “Baikal,” one of the world’s biggest lakes, a name that alluded at the size of the upcoming handset. The Galaxy S8 was known as “dream,” representing Samsung’s dream to beat Apple
“Crown,” meanwhile, may represent Samsung’s growing ambitions to rule the smartphone business, or at least the phablet business. At the same time, Samsung is terribly afraid of the iPhone X, its latest TV commercial suggests. So beating the iPhone with the Note 9 seems like a next to impossible kind of dream.
The report doesn’t offer any other details about the Note 9’s specs or signature features. We’d expect the phone to pack a large screen display, a dual camera on the back, and a 3D facial recognition system like the iPhone X. Some reports said the phone may come with a fingerprint sensor under the display. But now that Apple hasn’t done it, it’ll certainly be interesting to see whether Samsung will go forward with such plans.
