Samsung accidentally leaked a bunch of details about its major phone that launches next week · CNBC

In This Article:

  • Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 appeared in a leaked video on Samsung's website.

  • The Galaxy Note 9 will be unveiled during an event in Brooklyn on August 9.

  • The new device appear to have twice the storage of any phone currently on the market.

Samsung's website in New Zealand accidentally published a video featuring the company's soon-to-be-announced Galaxy Note 9 phone.

The video was first noticed by the tech site SamMobile before it was taken offline, but another version of it is still lives on YouTube .

The video shows the Galaxy Note 9 and its iconic "S Pen" stylus. It also suggests Samsung will sell a model with 512 gigabytes of storage — twice that of any phone currently sold on the market — and support for expanding that storage up to 1 terabyte. That's probably more than most folks need.

Samsung's Galaxy Note family of products has attracted a cult following since the first Note was launched in 2011. That device ushered in a new wave of "phablet" phones with screens that were larger than traditional phones at the time.

Samsung is hosting its Galaxy Note 9 launch event in Brooklyn, New York, on Thursday when it will formally provide more information on the new phone.

Samsung declined to comment on the video.
