Galaxy Note 9 + S-pen = New remote control?
Speaking about the S-pen you can see the new stylus in all its glory and looks like this one in that glowing yellow shade, with a button at the middle, which has been rumored to have some functionality such as this will trigger the selfie camera to take a selfie which is a great idea. Apart from that, this also opens many possibilities such as remotely taking a call and putting it on speaker, trigger Bixby maybe? but you need to carry that S-pen around for such convenience.
Furthermore, at the bottom of the poster, it says the maybe the tagline which is “The new super powerful Note”. With Samsung fully embracing and sending a message to its rivals that the most powerful Android smartphone in the form of its Galaxy Note is about to take over everyone.

While the top shelf variant is said to pass the $1000 mark, with 256GB or 512GB internal storage options.
Update 1: Galaxy Note 9 spotted
As you can see in the image mentioned above the design matches to that of the leaked poster and the case leaks we have seen earlier. This picture was taken when Samsung CEO was spotted using a mysterious phone, but after analysis, it was concluded that it’s none other than the upcoming Galaxy Note 9. You can see him interacting with the Stylus, and see a glimpse of the rear design as well.
In this new leaked image, you can see the rear and front as well, on the rear dual camera setup, you will now find additional sensors next to the LED flash. Which is speculated to be laser auto-focusing system or Samsung’s traditional heart rate monitoring sensor for its S-health app.
Moreover, it also appears to be a little sleeker as it was reported that Samsung’s VP ordered to tone down the device’s thickness after getting his hands-on smartphones of Xiaomi, Huawei, and Vivo. You can learn more about that here.
