We now have the first Galaxy Note 9 benchmark sighting and if history is any indication, it’s going to be the first of many. The Galaxy Note 9 bearing model number SM-N960U has surfaced on Geekbench where it has revealed its specifications. It’s also the first time that the device has been spotted online with Android 8.1.0 Oreo. When it appeared in the browser benchmark, the device was running Android 8.0.
As the model number suggests, this first Galaxy Note 9 benchmark happens to be of the US variant which will be powered by a Qualcomm chip. The benchmark reveals that the Galaxy Note 9 will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, as expected, since it’s also powering the Galaxy S9/S9+. It can be said with absolute certainty that the international variants of this device will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 9810 processor much like the existing flagship.
The benchmark reveals the possibility that the Galaxy Note 9 will ship with 6GB of RAM which won’t be surprising at all given that Samsung is already shipping the Galaxy S9+ with a similar amount of RAM.
As previously mentioned, this is the first time that the Galaxy Note 9 has been spotted with Android 8.1.0 Oreo.
