Both Apple and Samsung abandoned the solid white color scheme for
their flagship phones years ago, but it looks like Samsung is bringing
the sleek look back for its latest oversized handset. After being teased
earlier this week, the “First Snow White” Galaxy Note 9 was officially
announced on Friday. SamMobile reports that the name is meant to commemorate the first snowfall of the year in Taiwan… which brings us to the bad news.
Samsung confirmed the existence of the white Note 9 on Friday, but
only announced availability for Taiwan. It’s not clear if or when the
colorway will ever be sold in other territories, including the United
States. All hope is not lost — color options have been ported to the US
in the past — but that’s all we know for now.
As SamMobile
notes, this is the first time Samsung has launched a white Galaxy Note
since the Note 5 back in 2015. The other color options for the Note 9
are Lavender Purple, Metallic Copper, Midnight Black, Ocean Blue, and
Cloud Silver. Like the other models, the white Note 9 will come with a
unique white S Pen as well.
Samsung will begin selling the First
Snow White Galaxy Note 9 in Taiwan early next month for NT$30,900 (~
$998). That’s the same price that the original Note 9 models launched
for in the region as well. It’s also worth noting that the specs of the
device are the same as any other Note 9, so at least we aren’t missing
out there.
