Blood pressure sensor

While we are on the topic of Galaxy S9 tech — the Note 9 will certainly also have the blood pressure sensor that Sammy tested with the S9. We tried it on the flagship a few months ago — while not 100% accurate, it's an OK feature for casual readings.

Under the glass fingerprint sensor? Nah...

Earlier, rumors (and wishful thinking) suggested that Samsung will finally have under-the-glass fingerprint readers ready for prime time and installed on the Galaxy Note 9. If that were to be true, it'd mean that the fingerprint scanner pad will move away from its awkward position on the back of the phone and would get the classic fingerprint scanner on the front.



However, in recent months, these reports have slowly died down and slowly, but surely, the sense that this is not happening is seeping in. Now, we expect the Note 9 to have a horizontal camera setup with a fingerprint pad underneath (not to the side, thankfully).







Of course, there's always the hope that Samsung might just surprise us.

Samsung's Note line has always been known to push the envelope and pack as much of the latest tech as it can fit.So, what new features should we expect in the Galaxy Note 9?
