New Samsung Galaxy Note 9 leaks have good news and bad news, and we’re likely in for an updated smartphone with a larger screen and handy S Pen, but one without an in-screen fingerprint sensor, sadly.

Update: Samsung has confirmed that Bixby 2.0 is coming to the Note 9, while new rumors suggest an late July launch and early August release date, one month sooner than expected. We’re seeing how an in-screen fingerprint sensor could work, with no guarantees it’ll make it into the final design. It’s the biggest mystery in phones right now.

We’re only three months – at most – away from knowing everything for sure, which means you might as well hold out for Samsung’s extra-big Android phone. It’s very close to the expected launch event and release date.

Today, we’re sorting through the rumors and leaks (there are a lot of them), and to do that we’ve gotten out our trusty S Pen stylus ready to declare which are plausible, and which are just wishful thinking.

The Note 9 is poised to be a big deal because it’ll be a massively sized update to the Galaxy Note 8, and slightly bigger and better than the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus, which launched around the world in March.

Of course, that’s not to say it’ll be a massive update to last year’s phone with a 6.3-inch screen. No, we’re expecting iterative, but important changes, mostly to the internal specs, rather than a complete redesign on the outside.

That said, Samsung has to roll out a new Note that’s still attention-grabbing enough to outlast the iPhone X2 phones that Apple is likely to unveil in late August or early September. If you’re keen on big phones with a handy stylus, this is the one to read up on.

Here are all of the Note 9 rumors so far and the features we want to see from Samsung’s next two-handed handset BELOW!!:
