MANILA, Philippines - It seems customary now for most soon-to-be-launched devices to experience a whole bunch of leaks before they're officially unveiled.

Include the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 in that list. An alleged promotional video for the South Korean giant's Galaxy Note 9 has leaked ahead of its August 9 reveal.

The 30-second video highlights some of the device’s features including an “all new” gold-colored S Pen stylus, a “powerful all-day” battery, and describe its storage capacity as "1 terabyte ready."

9to5Google previously reported that the Note 9’s S Pen will feature a Bluetooth connection that will now allow it to be used remotely for controlling music playback and photo capture.

Meanwhile, it’s been hinted before that the Galaxy Note 9 will be powered by a 4,000mAh battery. While it’s a significant upgrade from the Note 8’s 3,300 mAh battery, it remains to be seen how “powerful” or long-lasting it truly is.

Rumors have also suggested that Samsung will be offering a 512GB variant of the device.

This will all become official when Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy Note 9 on August 9 in an “Unpacked” event to be held in New York City. – Rappler.com
