In its earnings call Tuesday, KyeongTae Lee, Samsung's mobile business head stated "We aim to expand the sales of flagship models via an earlier-than-usual release of a new Galaxy Note, which offers exceptional performance for a reasonable price." 

He didn't mention the Galaxy Note 9 by name, but it's no secret that we expect that to be the model announced on Aug, 9 at Samsung's Unpacked event. Samsung announced its new Galaxy Tab S4 tablet today, in advance of Unpacked.
