An allegedly official render of the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has been posted over at Android Headlines, and... well, there’s not a lot to see. The render only shows the front of the device, and if it’s accurate, the Note 9 will look almost identical to its predecessor from this angle. The bottom bezel might be slightly thinner, and the S Pen slot could be a little more flush with the device, but it’s hard to tell for sure.

The news, then, is that the Note 9 will probably be a lot like the Note 8, just like this year’s Galaxy S9 was an iterative upgrade on the S8. It’s reasonable to expect that the Note 9 will follow the S9 in having a more conveniently located fingerprint sensor, at least — rumors have gone back and forth on whether it might be integrated into the display, but either way it shouldn’t be off to the side of the camera again.

Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note 9 at an event on August 9th.
