Today, Android Headlines has shared a clearer render of the front panel of the smartphone. The publication claims that it had received the image through a reliable source which claimed that it is an official render of the Note 9.

As it can be seen in the image, the Galaxy Note 9 looks very similar to the predecessor Galaxy Note 8 smartphone. It continues to feature the same Infinity Display design that offers an aspect ratio of 18.9:5 aspect ratio like the other flagship phones from Samsung. The S-AMOLED screen of the phone is curved towards the right and left edges. The bottom bezel is barren, while the upper bezel is packed with multiple sensors like earpiece, selfie camera, iris scanner and some other sensors. The placement of these sensors is almost same as Galaxy Note 8.

The power key is positioned on the right side of the phone. The volume rocker is on the left and below it is the Bixby button. Like the predecessor model, the pocket for the S Pen stylus could be available on the bottom edge of the phone.
