The Samsung Galaxy S9 will be Samsung's next major release, which will take place inside Q1 2018 according to the rumours, however, the Galaxy Note 9 will be a significant launch next year too, and is already being prepped as well.
The in-development project for Samsung's next big phablet has now been given a codename, at least so say local Korean sources The Bell and The Investor, which say that insiders have tipped the project is dubbed "Crown" internally at Samsung's labs.
That name apparently does have some significance vis-a-vis Samsung's intentions and goals with the device. The firm has reportedly noted that most major manufacturers are now offering compelling phablet alternatives to the Note series, and wants to re-establish itself as the top-tier in the phablet sector; a sector which it basically invented with the original Galaxy Note.
Things are already well under way, as The Bell cites an official Samsung supplier saying "We will start providing components for a pilot production (of the Galaxy Note 9) in the first quarter next year."
The reports reiterate earlier rumours that the Galaxy Note 9 is expected to retain the same 6.32in display size as the Galaxy Note 8 from this year. However, there has been no further mention of one rumour which said the Note 9 could introduce folding and flexible OLED to the phablet series.
It's believed Samsung is planning to launch some kind of fully flexible and folding OLED phone inside 2018, dubbed by the rumour mill as the Samsung Galaxy X, however, it's also believed there are multiple devices in development using this technology.
