Ranging from design to global rollout plans, the Galaxy Note 9 has been dominating the news headlines for over three months, and it appears we are experiencing the climax of it right now. Notwithstanding a not too dramatic change in design, the Galaxy Note 9 is expected to pack some high-end features, including a 4000mAhbattery and a 128GB storage base variant, and this won’t come without a spectacular consequence.
A leak from the ever-reliable WinFuture’s Roland Quandt earlier this month revealed the Korean Chaebol will jack up the Galaxy Note 9 pricing to a point considered the highest throughout the Note series existence. He further alleged the Galaxy Note 9 will be offered in two storage variant only – the 128GB and the 512GB variants which he says will cost $1230 and $1469 in the EU. region.
Now, a new leak from Indonesia appears to have corroborated Roland’s claims. A leaked pre-order poster first sighted by Slashleaks contains pricing info for just 2 storage variants for the device as well as the color variants which includes Mystic Black, Engineered Blue and Artisan Copper.
